New World Order

Chapter 30: Escape

Unedited

"We have to leave now!" Katherine cried.

Bethany nodded. "Come this way." Bethany said running down the hall. Katherine picked up her dress and quickly followed behind. Both girls ran down the long hall where they suddenly came upon a woman standing in front of a cell. As she came closer to the cell she could see Dallas' head and arms sticking out of it.

Dallas lifted his head and smiled once his eyes landed on Katherine. "Katherine you're here."

Katherine smiled. "Yeah, I know. We need to get out of here. We don't have much time."

Dallas nodded. "Katherine this is my mother." He said pointing to the middle aged lady. "She agreed to help."

Katherine looked toward the woman. "Thank you."

The woman nodded. "Come we must begin the removal of the trackers." The lady said, grabbing Katherine's arm. "I have to warn you this is going to be quick and very painful." Before Katherine could reply the woman wiped out a small knife and immediately began the incision. A scream came from Katherine, but it was silenced by a hand over her lips, Bethany's hand. 

The lady moved fast as she began her work. "Thankfully the tracker was just under the skin. So, I don't have to go deep." The woman said as she pulled out the blood covered tracker. "Quickly Dallas, help Katherine with her wound as I work on Beth." The woman said handing Dallas the supplies needed. She then proceeded to remove Bethany's as quickly as possible as Dallas wrapped Katherine's wound. This proceeded until all their trackers were removed.

"Quickly you must leave who knows how long my sister can distract us." Katherine said.

"Sister?" Dallas said, confused.

"She'll explain later." Bethany replied.

"Wait. What about your clothes?" Bethany asked, looking toward Katherine. "You cannot run in a dress."

Katherine looked down at her clothes knowing fully she could not escape in the attire she was dressed in. With all the commotion she almost forgot about it. "Uhm...maybe I can run in my undergarments?"

All of them just gave her a look as if she was crazy.

"Look you can have mines." They all turn toward Dallas' mother.

"Mom? Are you-"

Dallas' mother raised her hand to silence him. "No time to argue. Katherine remove your clothes. Quickly." Katherine made no reply as she immediately did as she was told as there was no time for debate. Both women began to strip causing Dallas to immediately turn his head with Bethany following pursuit. She stepped out of her dress and tossed off her shoes. As soon as the lady's clothes were removed Katherine quickly slipped them on followed by the ragged shoes. She now had on the attire of a maid. As Dallas mother now had on Katherine's dress.

"Ok run. Get out of here...." The woman said. "...and do not return." She said as she looked toward her son and niece with tears in her eyes. Bethany and Dallas ran up to her hugging her tight as tears ran down their faces.

"I love you, mom." Dallas said softly to her.

"I love to, son." She replied. "I love both of you. Take care of each other." They all released the hug and turned to join Katherine.

Katherine could see the tears on their face as they departed. She knew exactly how they felt and what they were going through. 'We need each other now more than ever.' Katherine thought as she ran through the palace with the others.
