Lana Steele 2.0

Chapter 10

I can't believe that my mom has been working with Raymond since I left the agency. I have so many questions like why did she join him in the first place. I nearly cried.

"How long have you been here?" "A year." She watched me pace the floor in the dark room. "What is he planning to do with the doomsday device?" She shrugged. "Do you have any theories?" She shook her head. I stopped pacing and looked into her eyes. "Why haven't you looked for me?" She stood up. "You don't know how long your father and I have looked for you. Once I met Raymond, he captured me and said if I worked for him, he'd tell me where you were. Once he captured you, he didn't tell anyone who it was. All he said was you were very dangerous, keep you locked in there, and don't go in there unless he cleared it. I never knew it was you. Now that I realized it it all makes sense. He was in love with you and once you didn't give him the device, he hated you. I'm so sorry Lana. I did try." I gave my mom a hug. "It's okay. Don't cry. All I want to know is how to get out of here and take down Raymond." I have a brief plan.

"Are you sure this will work?" I looked at my doppelganger. "Of course it will, where do you get your plans from?" I smiled and went to go shower while she closed and locked the door behind her. I tried to shower as quickly and thorough while thinking of a further plan in my head. After the much needed shower, I dressed in the clothes I wore before and put on a wig with my mother's hair color. I unlocked the door and walked out. The hall was crazy empty. The only sound was my heels clicking on the sparkling tiles. For an abandoned place, this is very luxurious. The flooring, the walls, even the roof was done. It's like he had this place since forever. Knowing Raymond, he probably spend millions of dollars on this place but still can't fix his face.

I chuckled at the little joke in my head not realizing I caught the attention of a nearby guard. "Hey," I froze and slowly turned. "Boss wants to see ya. Knows your hidin her. Probably gonna kill ya. Doesn't need ya anyway. Don't do anythin round here anyway." His foreign accent making me want to throw up. "How will he kill me when your looks already doing it perfectly?" He kissed his teeth. "Just like your motha, savage as heck. I found exit right there. Window tho. Tell Marth." I nodded. I don't now whether to throw up, cry, scream, hug him, or walk away. Eventually I walked away, focusing on the original plan. Raymond has so many doors in this place, I'm so confused. I opened door after door trying to find the room my mom was talking about. 3rd door on the left, down the long hall. I repeated to myself. Maybe a little too loudly because... "Freeze! Stop right there!" About 10 guys stood in front of me and behind me holding massive guns for someone my size.
