“Greg, where are you?”“What’s wrong Grace?”“Is it possible that you could be at the B&B within the hour?”“Yes,” He looked back towards the estate. He was briefly in conflict but he had learned when Grace Stevens calls it usually is very serious.“Please hurry.” The line went dead.He take one last look and drove away.Denver has helped Raven climbed back through the window. Whoever shot at them seemed to have just slipped away. He carefully looked around in the bedroom, watching the door slowly opened.“Go, Denver. I don’t want you to be seen.”“Okay, call me when you need me. I don’t know what’s going on but it would seem my hearing is heightened.”Raven just nods her head and very carefully closed the window with him still on the ledge.“Bella…”“What are you doing out of bed?” The woman very carefully closed the bedroom door. She looked at Raven with a puzzled expression.“I woke. You were gone. This isn’t the first time.”“Sorry. I didn’t want to wake you. I think someone is sp
Denver slowly opened his eyes. There was a chill to his skin. A moment he was confused about where he found himself. The moment he moved his body he quickly realized he was at the edge of the roof. Just one more move and he would have tumbled onto the ground.“Shit,” he whispered.Just as he moved backwards, he almost truly shit his pants when the cat from yesterday has brought friends. They seemed to form a kind of barrier around him.“What the fuck do you want?”The only answer was a brief hissing sound. They turned in union around walking towards the middle of the roof. Curious he slowly balanced himself and followed them. Just in case he didn’t get the message, they cats turned to look at him again.“I am not stupid, you know.” He growls as he follows. He quickly stood still when he heard the clicking of guns. He slowly turned towards the sound.“Stay where you are.” One of the three men orders.“What do you want?” Denver challenge like it was normal being on the roof.“What are y
Leo Ricardo carefully looked to see where Greg might be. The man said the farm was rundown but he apparently didn’t realized it was occupied with some homeless people. He turned to look where his sister was. He was relief when he noticed her coming back. She seemed to carry something that looks heavy. One last searching look for Greg before he quickly goes to help her.“What do you have there?” he asked softly.“I found this battery.” She carefully dropped it onto the ground. “Do you think we could use it?”“Maybe.” Leo picked it up. “Let’s go. I found a place where we could be alone.”The two slipped away from the rundown farmhouse. They were making their way towards the barren tree lines. They kept looking backwards to make certain no one follows or are watching them.“Keep a close eye on those two. I am curious to see what their plans are.” Annie instructed as she reached into her pocket. She removed the hidden cellphone. The burner phone has only one number, which she dialed.“Fol
Raven stood just inside the office door. Lady X moved to sit behind her desk. Her expression motionless looking at the younger woman.“Close the door.”Raven did what was asked of her. She turned to face the woman again whose very presence gives her the creeps. She instinctively knows the woman was going to subject her to something dangerous. She senses her end-game was near.“Strip out of that clothes.”“Why?” Raven immediately challenged.“Let me show you something. Do come stand beside me.”Raven frowned but slowly moved around the desk. She looked at the screen of the computer that was flipped opened. At first she noticed nothing. It took a couple of minutes before she understood what she was looking at.“You better strip your clothes or I am going to flood the tunnels. You will do whatever I tell you, Raven Dark.”Raven was nakedly trapped behind this bedroom door. It was days since she last seen Bella. She is very worried about her own safety but especially about her children wh
Denver walked towards the front of the mansion. He looked at the woman who keeps on claiming to be his biological mother. He noticed a meanness about her. He quietly come to the conclusion that the only family he has was Raven and their children.“The rule is simple, Denver. Stay alive for the next three days.”“Why are you doing this?”“It’s simple. You were given a gift but you wasted it by trying to be normal. You betrayed me.” Lady X answered in a very cold tone of voice.“I don’t know you.” He answered flatly.“There is your problem. Even just now, you reject what I wanted to offer you.”Denver didn’t even border to answer. He walked down the steps to join Shadow Dark and Billy McAllen. The fourth man was Grant Wilson. The men looked at each other with open hostility.“You better pay attention.” Lady X said looking down at them. “Each choose a survival package. For each clue you find you will move to the next stage. In three days when you gathered all the individual clues, I will
“Lea, we should get out the tunnels. I have a feeling we might be in a trap.”“Where you go I follow, brother.”“We should head forward because only troubles waits for us at the farm.”“Look for the cats. Animals always knows where to find a way out. “Lea said with conviction.“Okay, I trust your judgement.”“Look there they are.” Lea point towards the gleaming eyes in the dim lightening.The twins start to follow the animals. Both suddenly stop when they heard a loud noise that seem too approached fast.“What’s that?” Lea looked behind her.“We should run Lea. Look for a hatch leading upwards.” Leo yelled above the noise. He quickly looked around searching for the cats. He grabs hold of his sister’s arm making her follow him. The run as fast as they could. It was quickly clear the only way they would survive is by staying close on the heels of the cats.“Lea, get ready to jumped.” Ahead of his sister he reach the ladder nailed against the side of the tunnel. One look at he know they
The door unlock. The people inside looked curiously to see who might make an appearance. As the minutes tick, both listens to the beating of their hearts. They have been in there for almost a month.“What do you think Daniel?” she looked towards her husband. She watch him just sitting there on the cold floor. He wasn’t even really looking towards the door. “I asked you a question.” Cathy slowly step towards him. She looks down at him with the aggressive knowledge he keeps being a disappointment to her. “Daniel…” she kicks him against the legs.“What do you want?” his eyes looks bloodshot from lack of sleep.“You realized the door was opened. Do you think we should leave?”“Why?” he looks at her his expression puzzled.“Don’t you want to leave? The door is unlocked.” She said with soft fury building in her chest.“It could be another trap.” He said casually.“I am going to find out.” Cathy Cole Ricardo looked at the man he father has settled with her. Throughout the years she sometimes
Joslin Ricardo slowly start going through the footage she uncover on the computers. Once she started wondering what’s so special about the Mansion on Craven’s Hill, she just knew the answer was there somewhere.“Angelo, remember I told you that woman called herself Lady X. Well here is part of her files.”“It look like this place was built for her to hide her identity. What’s her connection with Vincent Saint-Claire?”“I am not sure. What I do remember, my father always wanting this place. It took a lot of convincing before Vincent finally sold the place for less than its actual value. My father always insist that the place belongs to Denver. Unfortunately my brother barely managed to stay even a night. There was always something pulling him away from here.”“You have one curious family tree, my love.”“Watch the screen. I just want to check one of the rooms. Look, it don’t have a camera there. Why?”“Call me.”Joslin start to walk in the direction of the bedroom that she somehow just
