We went in opposite directions as I tucked the gun in the hoodie pocket looking around carefully. The building hardly had any guards or servants around as I walked down the corridors. Taking one route trusting my instinct led me only to a dead end. Okay no going with instinct, I said to myself in my head.
It took me a few more corridors to reach the place where we met Jamien in the morning. I half walked and ran as the place got darker making my heart thump.
As I went further, two men came into my view looking at me. There were no men guarding this place when we visited earlier, why were they here now?
"And where might yea' be heading to miss?" the shorter man asked me with suspicious eyes.
"I was asked to fetch a book from the chemist by master Jamien," I answered hoping they would let me through.
"Sorry but the chemist has locked his room and left the palace for the day," the other one replied. Shit, this wasn't good, "Come tomorrow."
