I carried on walking to my apartment that was a hour to walk to. It had gotten dark, when I reached my apartment; I went to the third floor and there I saw two men with tasers. Younger must have sent them knowing I would return for my stuff or maybe it was Marco or my mother. I definitely needed to lessen the number of enemies I had, especially within family. I put my hood up and tried to walk past them and I did until one of the men walk up to me.
"Excuse me ma'am have you seen the tenant for that apartment?"
"No."
I walked away and tried to speed up subtly, they were trying to get in but couldn't because my door was reinforced. My father had told me to do this because there would be a day where I needed to protect the contents of my house. They could go through the wall but I had chosen the room with all the gas pipes surrounding it , I knew this was dangerous but it lowered my rent. I think they wer told to follow me as I headed out of the building because they were behind me for a while. However, I had the upper hand of knowing this area well, I could get away easily but waited for their move first. They started to walk quicker so I turned a corner and jumped up to reach a sign, I pulled myself up quickly then they turned the corner and looked around panicking. I smiled at the fact they had no idea I was watching them, I decided to follow them to wherever they went. They walked to an abandoned warehouse where I peeped through a window to see a few men and a few women but it felt odd. So, I watched from afar with caution. This seemed like the work of Alexander Younger, he had networked a lot and had many contacts. What did he want me for? It hit me, I was a fugitive and I needed to find my team. I needed to tell them everything but how was I going to find them? They were probably still in Italy or maybe they listened and went home. I went Wheels home but only his mother was there. She had always been some sort of mother figure to me, I knocked on the window that was at the back of the house she went up to it with a knife. She saw me and her eyes lit up. She opened the backdoor with excitement, she opened up her arms for a hug. I sighed deeply but realised she never hugged anyone not even her own son, I raised my eyebrow and looked behind her. No one was there but it didn't feel right, maybe Younger was smarter than I thought. She offered me some tea and moved to the side to let me in but she knew I wasn't keen on tea and preferred coffee. I turned around and ran to the fence to hurdle over it to find Younger and around fifteen people waiting for me. I ran straight through them with no hesitation only to hear words that could literally kill me.
"Shoot to kill, she has committed treason against her country."
This would be a slight problem until a black van pulled up in front of me, it was my team. I felt a wave of relief wash over me, I could have a chance at winning this war against all these people. I went to the back of the van and hopped in to see Wheels crying.
"You okay?"
"No, they are basically keeping my mother hostage. She is really worried, I tried to get her but when I rang her she said our code word lemonade."
"How did you all get here?"
"We took your private jet."
"Wait, Baddie. i don't have a private jet."
"Nope but as Sophia De Luca, you do. They were not told about you so they panicked and let us on the plane. They took us straight home and went back to Italy but the question is how did you get here? You are all over the news as a fugitive escaping they law."
"That is a long story for another book. The Unseen World."
I laughed as they looked at me with confusion. I was happy to be there with all of them safe and sound, including Com.
"Hey Com, how are you?"
"Great, never felt so thrilled to be a criminal before."
"Hey! You're actually funny!"
"Yep, just like this situation. I am disabling a lot of cameras to get to a warehouse."
"Whereabouts?"
"Near Blue Diamonds, they have an abandoned warehouse, which the amazing government just bought with tax payers money, don't worry i will take some money from the politicians wage and put it towards the NHS."
"Maybe you have the kindest heart I have ever seen."
"No, I have jut suffered because this corrupt government. We need to help the people of England."
"No we need to help the world."
He looked at me with a mile that I didn't know he could produce. Younger had made it clear he would stop at nothing to get me.
"What will we do at the warehouse?"
"Get my equipment out if this can and we can all rest."
"You're like a father to us Com."
He nodded and continued tapping away at his iPad but then he looked at it disturbed.
"That isn't a good look Com."
"You're right, they are trying to track me but I can stop them."
"I feel like there is another but, there always is."
"But, I can't hack the traffic cameras that fast. We either need to slow down or let them know where we are."
"We need to slow down."
Baddie was driving pretty quick.
"Hey Baddie you need to slow down."
"You want me to follow the doors limit?"
"If you're capable."
"I'm a woman. Duh, you're own words are that we are powerful and will never be stopped."
I smiled and sighed, I had made an impact on her life and I will make an impact on many more. Finally, my life had purpose. It was a few hour drive until we got to the warehouse only to find out it was pretty run down.
"Next time buy a hotel Com."
Baddie said sarcastically.
"That was sarcasm in case you needed it mansplained. I'm only kidding but it seems pretty cool."
Com looked at me with a certain type of love and hate. The warehouse would be our new home for a while, so time to get comfy. We all walked in and saw that there was hole in the roof along with random crates. The old owners didn't take care of the place, there was a lot of graffiti. You could see a lot of signs of squatters. I would make sure we could operate here without getting caught, Younger taught me a few things but I taught myself better. No one will ever be a better teacher than yourself, as you know yourself better than anyone. Never be afraid of try something, if you think you can do it, you can. I will remember these word till the day I die, as I thought of them through tough times. I felt at ease for once in my life. Warehouse~ Stage 16 completed and I will finally be happy.
