Agent X (on hold)

Chapter 13 : Room 109

☆☆☆☆☆

"Room 109" I said desperately to the reception lady she looked up at me from her computer and blew a bubble with her gum.

If she doesn't give me the keys right now I'm actually gonna wring her neck.

"I'm sorry we don't give room keys to strangers" she said with her nazely voice and I was about to jump over the counter towards her before Phoenix wrapped his arm around me.

He went into his leather jacket and grabbed a badge. "We are a part of the CIO, I suggest you hand over the keys now" he said in a cool tone.

She looked alarmed and quickly grabbed the key. "Here you go sir sorry for the... inconvenience, the room is on the second floor." she said shaking in her chair.

I slammed my hand on the counter and grabbed the keys then speed walked towards the stairs, I didn't have time to take the elevator. I already wasted 40 minutes of my time getting here.

I ran up the stairs Phoenix behind me, the footage was from yesterday what could have happened between the hours of 8 till now? This only got me running faster, I felt like if I touched something it would burn up the feeling that was coursing through me was new like a fire ignited and it wasn't going away until I got what I want. Call it weird or whatever but I felt my senses heighten like I could hear a pin drop if one did.

I opened the door and stumbled in a dark hallway that was filled with doors all with different numbers, Phoenix came right behind me and I turned to him. "You should really stop worming your arm around my waist." I said trying to put my mind at rest, he looked at me with smugness "Can't help it" I rolled my eyes and looked at the door numbers.

330 and the one next to it was 331 so I have to go left. Phoenix was going the other way when I grabbed his arm and ran left.

"If you wanted to hold my hand you could've just asked" he said from behind me. I replied with silence and kept on running down the hall until I met an intersection I went right since it was counting downwards.

113.

112.

111.

110.

109.

I knocked on the door and heard no reply back. "Indigo?" I called out. Please god let her open the door, and act like everything is normal. If something happened to her I wouldn't know how to cope the death of my parents took a huge toll on me it shattered me but me and my sisters bond was what glued it back together and now that shattered glass is fragile one thing to happen to my sister and it'd break into millions of pieces and be blown away.

Phoenix was dead quiet. Standing behind me.

I balled up my fists and banged on the door, "Rob?" I yelled louder.

Finally I heard something from the other side and my hand automatically went for the gun in my back pocket, there could be an intruder for all I knew. But the door opened revealing Rob.

He looked confused to see me and something weird went through his eyes. I looked inside the room and it was completely and utterly smashed a broken vase was on the floor and the mirror was shattered clinging onto the wall for dear life, he opened it wide enough for me to see the messy bed.

"Lexi?" he asked, I looked back up at him my hands barely hovering over my gun. My ears picked up on the sound of someone crying but I couldn't be sure.

"What the fuck happened in here?" I asked trying to step further into the room but Rob was blocking me from doing so. He looked slightly nervous and I couldn't figure out why.
