Chereads / E.S.C.A.P.E: Underworld / Chapter 44 - Control Room

Chapter 44 - Control Room

"I know where all the CCTV cameras are, I can disable that and control using my laptop," Seth said

"But aren't there guards around? How we can get through them?" Wilson asked, we will have a hard time getting through them because they are so many

"We only have one chance to enter the vault, later at seven o'clock; there will be a fireworks display so we have to turn off all the lights around then we will have a chance to sneak" Zendaya explains

"We must not make even small mistakes" I agree to Wilson, when one of us makes a single mistake we all be expelled from this school that's for sure

After we discussed the plan we split up first to go to our task, Seth is with me now and we are going to the library because the security control room is there

"How did you find out that the control room is here in the library?" I asked him

We are currently walking and we come across a large door

"Zendaya and I were together when we got here we noticed that someone came out of here so we went in and we saw that it was a security control room" He opened the door noticing the silence of the whole room I looked around, only old books are here

Seth approached the shelf and pulled out a book, he immediately walked away and suddenly the shelf moved, when it opened were greeted by huge monitors where we could see everything the students were doing

Seth sat on a swivel chair and plugged the USB into one of the computers

"Why is no one here to watch?" I said

"They are on the break now they will arrive in twenty minutes so we have to hurry, we only have fifteen minutes," He said while checking his wristwatch

I looked one by one at all screens, I saw on a screen that Zendaya and Lucas entering the mechanical room, so out of concern that someone might see the footage, I interfered with the computer to delete it. But I accidentally pressed something and suddenly the footage was moved to another place.

It went to an office and I saw a man standing in a doorway and was currently pressing the password to open the door; made of thick steel the door looks like something important there, I zoom the camera as he presses the password of the door

"One.. Four.. Zero.. Seven.." The door opened

I can't see the man's face because he's turned his back on the CCTV

"Let's go Seven, we need to leave we only have five minutes" I heard Seth, I turned my gaze back to the screen and the man was no longer there

Seth grabbed my hand and quickly pulled me out of the control room

"We need to hurry, we don't have any time," He said

Exactly when we came out we heard footsteps so we quickly hid. When they entered the control room we left

"Who is that man.." I murmured, but suddenly Seth heard it

"What?" He asked

"Oh? Nothing, let's go maybe they waiting for us" We are back in the garden, this is our meeting place

"What happens?" Wilson asked us when we arrived

"It's okay, I have access to the security and CCTV here on campus" Seth answered while taking his laptop out of the bag

"You're the best, you're my idol now. We can steal money from the bank because of your skills—HAHAHA" Wilson said, and Alma kicked her

I just sat down next to him and looked away, why do I have the feeling that there is something wrong?

I remember when we went out earlier another man is coming out that door..

I saw his face..

That's my dad..

What the hell is he doing there?

With too much thought I did not notice that they were talking to me, Lucas tapped me on the shoulder so I turned to him

"AH—why?" I asked then I blinked my eyes

"Are you okay? We called you many times but you didn't answer, you were stunned there" Lucas said

I looked at all of them who were currently looking at me with concern

"I suddenly felt not well, I'd better just go to the clinic first, I'll ask for medicine" I excused myself and stood up

"I will come with you," Seth said and handed the laptop to Zendaya

"Don't bother, I'll be right back" I didn't let him speak anymore and I left

I walked not to the clinic but the parking lot, right when I arrived I found what I was looking for; I walked closer to him who was about to inter in his car

"Dad.." I called him to get his attention

He turned to me. I was surprised to see his face; he lost a lot of weight.

He just stared emotionlessly at me as if he wasn't surprised to see me here

"Did you come here to see me? How are you? You lost a lot of weight, how about mom is she with you?" I asked him. I hope that the reason why he is here is for me after all I am her daughter

Eunice used to say that no parent can stand their child no matter how stubborn he is

"I did not come here for you, I have business here, and since you left I forget that you are my daughter," He said directly to me

My smile in my face erased, the hope that I hold that they might love me is gone forever

Little by little tears streamed down my face..

Is there anything more painful to hear that from your father..
