Wicked Secrets

Chapter 25

Corine was running away. Directing her thoughts to Len, trying to find him. This may not be the best plan but she SO wanted not to be possessed. So this might be her only option.

"Where are you?" she whispered. She could feel the poison. Lightly, but soon and no... better not.

Getting out of that hospital was a cinch. Thank God for that Dean being somewhat of a dunderhead. Maybe that wasn't nice of her, so...

That fool.. he didn't even noticed when Corine snuck up on him and hit him in the head. Foolish. In this life, keep your guard up or you are dead. Later, because Dean screamed when hit, everyone rushed to him and Corine, putting camouflage, was able to sneak out without event.

Easy as taking candy from a baby.

The signal was getting stronger. She could feel it.

"What?" Corine asked out when she saw that building.

Why the hell was the sword in one of the most secure places in the universe?

It's not the White House.

It's not the Blitz's mansion.

It's around the most secure places in like anywhere. A building made to be a treasury room by the Mayor when the crime rate became high and stealing became a common activity. So, he created this place for the citizens to store any treasury not wanted to be stolen.

But, mostly because of pride, few treasures went into this building as most people believe they could protect the treasure themselves. Though that, this place has received the highest security to protect whatever treasure in there. And lack of treasure there is though, all of it's enough to make a man the richest in two lifetimes.

Heck, there was no time standing there to gawp. Look, that guard's looking at you suspiciously and oh no, heading towards her!

'God, should I run?' Corine thought, 'That would be suspicious.'

The guard was analyzing Corine, then smiled.

"Well, well, look who it is," he said and removed Corine's wig, her real jet black hair cascading down.

"Why, if it isn't Corine! The most wanted criminal, that captured could make me a rich, rich man!" the guard exclaimed.

He sneered darkly, "You are coming with me, missy."

"Not so fast!" a voice and the guard was down in a matter of seconds.

Apparently unconscious and Corine was dragged into an alleyway.

"What the heck was wrong with you coming here?!"

The voice was becoming familiar and in a lamppost light, she saw her savior.

"Lulu?!"

"Shhh... Not so loud," Lulu hushed Corine.

"What are you doing here?" Corine asked quietly.

"Saving you from your stupidity and this is about the most stupid thing you ever done," Lulu answered just as quietly, "Running away from the hospital, injured, to rob a heavily secured place?!"

Lulu shook her head. "What on Earth were you thinking?"

Corine shrugged. "Not much." And headed to the building. She was not gonna waste any more time.

Lulu grabbed her by the arm. "Not much, indeed! You really want to be in jail, huh?"

"It's not that. I just have to do something," Corine said.
