Sin

Chapter 5: Hide and Seek

(Sin Pov)

No words were exchanged as we angrily marched towards the camera room. The tension among us could slice a piece of metal in two. My face was stoic, revealing no emotions. However, the fury in my eyes revealed my thoughts. We needed to find this woman immediately. Blaze's foolish act of kindness has jeopardized this organization. Now, it was up to me to clean up his mess.

We reached the camera room in no time; Rocco silently shut the door behind us. In the middle of the room, sat a large rounded desk with a light pink computer. Accompanying the desk was a matching pink computer chair, which had Ember's name bedazzled onto the back of it. Numerous larger monitors encircled the desk, leaving almost every inch of the walls covered. They too, were rose pink. Armani faked a gag at the girly appearance of the room.

"Welcome to my woman cave," Ember said, as she immediately rushed over to her desk and began typing quickly on the main computer. Simultaneously, the other monitors lit up, revealing images of the entire building.

"Ember what the hell have you done to this poor room?" Armani asked in utter disgust while further examining it.

"Sin suggested I make it my own, since I basically live here. So, voila!" she dramatically explained with a smile of satisfaction plastered on her face.

Rocco shook his head in disapproval at the new makeover.

I stalked over to one of the monitors and began examining the cameras in hopes of finding the runaway women. Armani and Rocco followed suit.

"These right here, show the first and second floors of the building," Ember elaborated while pointing to the computer screens at the very top of the wall.

"In the middle, you can see the last floor and the underground hostage level," she further explained while pointing to the section of the wall she was referring to.

"Lastly, on the bottom, these monitors display the perimeter of the building. All cameras are heat and motion sensitive. If she even blinks, we will see it," Ember concluded in a serious tone.

"Way to go geek," Armani praised impressed by her set up.

Shockingly, Ember did not respond in her usual way. Instead she lowered her head as her cheeks began to turn bright red.

Armani cleared his throat and scrunched up his face as he looked away hiding his smile.

Rocco and I exchanged a knowing look.

Focusing back on the monitors, we watched impatiently as the cameras flicked through empty hallways and rooms.

"Where can this bitch be?" I growled growing angrier with each passing second.

"I got this Sin, don't worry," Ember assured me while typing ferociously on the computer.

The clock on the wall ticked loudly, as if mocking me. The sound was a constant reminder that time was not on our side. The longer we waited, the higher her chances were of getting away.

"I think I have something," Ember shrieked urgently while zooming in on one of the screens.

Wasting no time, Rocco, Armani, and I rushed over to Ember to examine her screen. Our excitement was shorted lived as the camera focused in on Blaze. He was still sulking in my office while pacing the floor. I let out a sigh of frustration and anger at the sight.

"What's his deal?" Armani questioned, verbalizing what I was already thinking.

"I don't know, but it is too bad he didn't get to play with his new toy. She's dying today," Armani declared while staring at Blaze through the computer screen.
