To Love Blaze

(14) Fortunately unfortunate separation

Daxton's POV

"That's Tony, right? The guy on the guy on the right" I ask pointing towards an old and stout man on the right.

"Sure is."

We are sitting on a tree onlooking the Blackthorn members from a distance.

"It's not audible at all. It would be a waste if we just sit here and know nothing." I say

"Not completely true. At Least we know their secret meeting place. Which we couldn't have discovered without following them."

"Very true."

We keep on watching them from the distance and keep on trying to get something out of it.

They talk for a few more minutes and it seems that a guy, probably a broker or an information giver handed Tony a brown envelope.

"What do you think that is?" Brandon asks.

I say "No idea. There could be a million things that BlackThorn would want information and documents on."

The men turn our way and start walking towards us.

"They are heading this way. Crap. We are sitting ducks here." Brandon exclaims.

"Fast! Climb higher. As high as possible."

We hurriedly climb over to the top to stay concealed from the enemies' sight.

Brandon and I are very fit and have stamina, so, we climb like monkeys in a second's time and stay still to not make any noise.

I am at the highest branch possible and Brandon is a bit lower but well hidden.

It felt as if our breaths could also be heard in these dense woods and we did not dare breath until they left.

We don't move until their footstep sounds completely fade away.

Brandon signals me to stay put and goes down a few meters and carefully looks around and finally signals me an 'all clear' sign.

In a few seconds, we are both down and I start making my way out of the woods.

I turn around and see Brandon standing right there.

I walk up to him.

"Come on let's go. We will discuss everything with the rest of the team."

I turn around and start to walk when Brandon stops me by putting his arm on my shoulder.

I look at him and he stays silent and so do I anxiously.

"Daxton. While those guys were going past us. I think I saw the contents of the brown envelope. Tony had taken them out."

"Great. What did you see?"

"I'm not exactly sure. I mean we very pretty high up, but, I think I saw a picture of Kristen."

"No. I'm pretty sure it was her."

"What??" I shout out pretty loud.

Yup. A huge and stupid mistake on my side.

"Is someone there?" A voice said.

And it's not just any voice it's one of the BlackThorn men. From the footsteps, it was pretty sure that the guy was walking towards and fast

Crap.

We start running because there is no time to climb any tree even if we do we'll get seen.

I mouth Brandon to run towards the car and we start running. And our tracker is hot on our tracks.
