Killing Grimm; Graveyard of Gods

Chapter 3, The Escape.

“Halt, this is a restricted area”.

The guards yelled, But Lisa wasn’t someone to scare easy, she grabbed a nearby chair and smashed the glass into a million pieces.

She grabbed the crimson gem and began a mad dash towards the glass window on the edge of the room.

When she arrived next to the window she didn’t hesitate to jump through it like an Olympic high jumper.

She crashed directly through the glass and into the next room, Lisa didn’t know where she was going so she crashed into the equipments in the room and collapsed to the ground.

Lisa groaned in pain, even before opening her eyes she could still hear the sound of people running and the inaudible sound of their screams, but Lisa still forced her eyes open and shot to her feet’s.

She looked around, she seemed to have thrown herself into a lab of some sort cause there where actual real life nerds screaming in fright and trying their hardest to exit the room.

[where are my?] Lisa questioned while rubbing the back of her head.

~You seemed to have crashed into a secret room, it wasn’t in the design for the building and I can’t pick it up using anything, not info-red, video cams or even security sensors, it’s completely hidden from the world~

“Fuck”.

Lisa cursed in annoyance and ran towards the nearby elevator, she grabbed the collar of the scientist trying to get through and flung him away.

The moment she went inside she immediately tapped the bottom to the lowest floor and got the elevator moving downwards.

Just as Lisa breathed a sigh of relief the lights turned red and the elevator stopped dead in its tracks, she tried pressing the bottoms several more times but it was clear that the power to the building have been cut off and the security enabled.

[what now?]

~we’ve got two options, first you wait till they come for you then you try to escape, but be warned there’s a ninety percent chance you’ll die, or the second option, Open the doors of the elevator and get down manually, we’ll figure the rest as we go~

[Two it is then]

Lisa packaged the crimson gem that was still in her hands into the front pocket underneath her white coat, keeping it close to her heart.

She used a knife to ply the elevator doors open and squeezed herself through it, and just like that she made it to the third floor of the TECHON sky scraper.

~Please be cautious Elaine I mean Lisa, you get caught and everything we’ve worked for will amount to nothing~

[Yeah I know that wacky, that’s why am trying not to die]

......

The second floor.

Mr George has finally finished introducing all of the company’s greatest inventions and the history behind them, proud as he maybe he’s audience were starting to get annoyed.

Mr George signaled two guards over to himself, and when they arrived he spoke to them in a low pitched voice.

“Hey, where are the guys I asked to move the blessed gem down here?”.

“They seemed to be held up by something sir”. One of the guards replied.

“Well tell them to hurry up before these scavengers devour me whole”.

The guards nodded and were about to leave but suddenly someone ran down the stairs while occasionally stumbling and falling, he ran over to mr George and said while stammering.

“Me-Mr George, we’ve got a problem”.

“What is it this time?, speak up already”. Mr George said, clearly already at his wits end.

“It the blessed gems sir, some one took them and ran into the secret lab, they killed some of our guys and used the elevator to get down, we shut everything down but we still can’t find them”.

The meek looking scientist said all in a single breath.

Mr George went silent for several seconds before he finished processing what just happened, he grabbed the collar of the nerd and pulled him closer.

“Get all the guys down here and searching for the bastard that did this, and make sure to keep an eye on all the dumbass that are here and account for any missing presence, I’ll go get the intruder myself”.

surprisingly Mr George didn’t lose he’s sense of reason but he still sweated bullets at the thought of what the boss would do to him if he lost two unique blessed gems that are probably the only two of their kind on earth.

......

Meanwhile Lisa walked confidently through the hall way of the third floor as if she didn’t just rob the place, she took her time admiring the amazing architecture while occasionally humming a little tune.

~Lisa, the only way out is to get to the lowest floor, break through the glass door and escape into town~

[Alright then, but first, let’s deal with the problem at hand]

Lisa Withdrew a small dagger and faced the group of security personnel blocking the stairs to the second floor, luckily these guys are only ordinary security men and only had tasers on them unlike the previous goons she killed and the guys always following Mr George.

Lisa smirked mockingly and gripped the blade backwards, for some reason the security personnel felt pressured even though Lisa looked like a kid in her early twenties, still they grit their teeth and charged aggressively at the petite thief.

The first man that got to her raised his fist, clearly intent on just nocking her out in a single go, but unfortunately for him, these wasn’t one of those days.

Lisa moved like lightning, displaying a street like fighting style that has been honed through years of experience.

And with a swirl of her dagger the mans neck bursted apart with blood soaking his clothes and the guys next to him.

For a moment there the stair way was silent with everyone stopping dead in their tracks and some even stepping back in horror.
