Angels Can Fly

Chapter 23 ~ The House

Ashley's POV

"Woah!" Seth exclaimed.

"Woah is the right word..." I said.

In fact it's the only word I could find. It has been two days of hardcore training and working out and my dad has gotten us a house that we are in right now.

"This must've cost a bomb!" Seth exclaimed while examining the lounge room, dining room and kitchen.

"And this isn't even the best part!" I said excited.

"Ohhh that's right!" Seth said. "Where is the training area?"

"Honestly I don't even know but my dad gave me a map so let's find it!"

We peered at the map and it said there were three entrances. One through my closet, one through Seth's closet and one in a closet in the garage.

"Ok so you go through your closet and I'll go through mine just to test it!" I said excitedly.

"Awesome!" Seth said.

We parted ways and I headed to my room, following the map. I ascended a long spirally staircase and spotted a game room just ahead. But I sticked with the map and followed the long hallway to my room. The door was closed and I didn't know what to expect - knowing my dad it's probably pretty big, he just wants to spoil me... And it gets soooo annoying, because then everyone thinks I'm a spoilt rich kid with a sugar daddy. Gross. But in fact I'm a hard working 16 year old agent working for the FBI, kicking butt and have been without my mum since 7th grade. It. Sucks. Balls.

My hand rested on the door knob until I got up the courage to open it. I turned the knob, slowly and inched the door open slightly, peering inside.

Oh. My. God.

I'd never had anything like it.

It was massive.

I had a king sized bed in the middle of the room. There was a very big closet in the corner, a desk, an ensuite, a TV, and a big space in the middle. I started to explore the room and then remembered I was meeting Seth in the training room. Ok. Closet. Right.

I made my way over to the closet and opened the door. Clothes everywhere. Jeez dad, I already have clothes. Oh well. I pushed them all aside and felt for a door. Nothing. There was just more space. Here goes. I stepped inside and heard the closet door immediately shut behind me, making me jump. I walked forward slowly inching my way deeper into the closet. I came across a door and opened it, keeping on walking ahead. As I walked lights flickered on, lighting my way. It looked like those hallways in like an office block. I came to a series of lifts. They all read the places they would take you too.

Basement.

Indoor Pool.

Training Centre.

And a normal lift.

I pressed the button for the training centre and the doors opened immediately. I stepped inside and the doors closed.

"Welcome Ashley." A robotic voice rung through the lift.

Jesus Christ!

The FBI had really gone all out. The lift descended a few floors and stopped abruptly. The doors opened, I got out as the doors closed behind me. I scanned the training centre. There were a series of punching bags, weapons and dummies - to practise throwing weapons at them. There were punching gloves beside a fighting ring. I looked up and saw some speakers, probably for music or radio to play through them. I spotted Seth checking out some laptops which I suspect had files on it.
