The guy who noticed something was persistent and determined to get his colleagues to heed his suspicion.“You are actually neglecting your duty, aren't you?” He spoke. “That doesn't seem like a good idea allowing only me to go check it out. We are a team for a reason and if we were assigned to this post, we have to make every positive effort out of it.”The uninterested guards paused in their conversation, exchanging a glance that suggested that they were deliberating whether to finally make a move and check if Baldy was correct.“Alright, let’s go check but I doubt if you saw anything,” The guard spoke. “You are just a pain in the a** sometimes but we will cope with you okay?”The three guards then moved together to the corridor to check if the guard’s suspicion was right.Meanwhile, Alan and Jackson had noticed that a conversation was going on among themselves.“Shh, I think they saw us,” Jackson whispered to Alan. “Sh!t, I made a mistake, man.”Alan, without stressing the matter fu

“What’s the matter, sweetheart? Don’t you like it when a man gives you a little attention? Why don’t you lighten up and have a little fun? After all, you don’t have a husband. Don’t be so uptight, darling.”“You are quite the kind of lady I like. Don’t mind your colleague saying that you are old and all that trash but I tell you the truth, you are the kind of lady I want. Just my kind of lady.”Della had some very harsh words that she was going to say but because she didn’t want the plan disrupted, she had to stick to being on track with her words.She had already used her hands to signal Fred not to lash out at the guard. She didn’t want the plan to be disrupted just because of an untrained guard.“Hey, look, man. I am just here to do my job and not to be harassed by some man.”“Am I some man?” the guard teased. “I don’t want to be just some man to someone like you. I want to be more than just some man. I want to be more acquainted with you, honey. And isn’t it a little disrespectful

Alan and Jackson froze in place, his breath caught in his throat as he clung himself to the wall. His heart pounded in his chest as he heard the guards’ footsteps growing closer.Time seemed to be very slow as the guards drew nearer, their footsteps echoing off the walls of the hallway but Alan gripped his weapon tightly just in case the situation was going to demand it.But as they got closer, two other guards joined them. They now seemed to be five and they were discussing.Alan and Jackson were picking up on their conversations.“The boss said to keep him in the basement.”“There are many ways that the boss can get the boy on his side. After all, he is his son. I don’t see why there should be an issue between them.”“The boy is a cool guy to me.”“This isn’t about whether he is a cool guy or not. We should listen to what the boss says.”“Come on, this is not to say that I wouldn’t listen to what he says. I am only telling you as a colleague that there is no need for being so harsh

The air seemed to thicken with tension, the silence broken only by the faint click of gun safeties being engaged.Alan then whispered into his radio, hoping that he was going to connect with Della. “Della, are you there? We are about to open fire on the guards who want to lock Brody in the basement. We are going to need backup, over.”That was all Alan needed to say and he believed that he had said enough already.They moved a few more steps with deadly precision, their footsteps soft and stealthy as they crept closer to the guards. They saw as the guards were shoving and dragging Brody and this time, they were going to lock him into the basement.They were no longer interrogating him about the phone because there were bigger issues to deal with.But Alan and Jackson thought that it was time to raise a response.The guards burst the basement door open and were prepared to shove Brody into a dark room but there was a sudden startling noise of gunfire.Pow! Pow!Boom!The hail of bulle

Mr. Lawrence then moved his eyes closer to Della’s face to get a clearer view of what was going on.“Wait, what? You look familiar,” Mr. Lawrence’s eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing into Della with the intensity of a predator sizing up its prey.His expression was hardened as a cruel smile spread across his face.“You look awfully and strangely familiar I must say,” Mr. Lawrence remarked again.He wasn’t sure of whether to keep up with his suspicion or to ignore it. He was sure that there was something about her that was too strange to ignore.It dawned on him that the person that she traced her face to was actually that of Rose Billing, the same woman that he murdered.He paused once more and spoke. “I know who you are, don’t I?”Della’s lips curled very slightly by the side as if she was trying to give Mr. Lawrence the clue that he needed.And Mr. Lawrence picked up the clue. He was shocked by the resemblance that Della had with Rose and even though he tried to ignore it as nothing b
