Once I was back from the ball. My brain cleared up. The tension of getting caught and the emergency had clouded my thoughts.

Once the tension and urgency left the reality settled in. The reality of my situation.

This wasn't the first time Martha was making such demands. But this was different than all the other times. Something I realised only after I sat down to think because this time I had no access of any sort.

I couldn't even leave the freaking mansion. The only two times I had left was with the whole gang.

Absolutely no access to internet or any other network. I would get caught in seconds if I used anything.

I was at loss as to where I would start.

The thought that Martha wouldn't have asked me to do all these if she didn't believe I could gave me a little confidence.

I remembered the pen. I didn't even ask her what is was for.

I went to get it from the drawer. I rolled the pen on my palms.

I clicked on the pen. It vibrated. The lights in the room blinked.

A few minutes must have passed when I heard somebody knocking on my door with urgency.

I opened it.

Ingenious.

He pushed me out of the way rushing to a window I left open.

What the fuck? Is it the pen?

"What is it ?" I ask gulping. I put the pen in the back pocket of my jeans.

"Carlos. Carlos broke free." Ingenious is out of breath.

Ohh! It's not me.

He said Carlos escaped? Carlos who?

"Carlos who?" I ask.

"The one who tried to kill Cal in Maggie's club."

Snake.

"He.. he was here?" I ask.

"Yeah. He was kept locked up in the basement. He fucking escaped from there."

"But he cannot get out of here without being detected or dying trying to. He is here somewhere hiding. Which is even more dangerous." He says pacing to fro in the room.

The mansion was in the middle of acres of woods. It will take him days to leave without help. But it also gave him enough place to hide. It's going to be fucking hard to get him.

"Fuck! Is he armed?" I ask.

"Yeah. He took the gun of one of the security guys he injured while escaping."

This just gets better and better.

I rushed out the room. I met Vicious on my way to Cal's study.

"Can I get a gun?" I ask him.

They had taken back the one they had given me yesterday after we returned.

He nods tossing one into the air. I catch it.

"Where are the rest of them?"

"Hawk is searching the ground with the security. Andreas is out with Cal. " he says.

"Did you check the security cameras?" I ask.

"Someone hacked them. All of them." Ingenious says appearing with a gun clutched in his hands.

"So he has help from inside." I say.

Ingenious looks mad.

"Oh he does. The asshole who helped him broke my firewall I am killing him first."
