There was no camera feed in the panic room, a stupid oversight on my part; I'd just always thought I'd be on the other side and didn't necessarily want anyone else looking in. That would be first on my agenda.
I heard him before he appeared on screen. "Come out, come out wherever you are. Here little Ashley I have a message from the doc, remember him?" He was feeling around the walls looking for a hidden panel I guess. The man in my hallway did not in any way resemble the dashing debonair senator of the media. He was disheveled and haggard looking. I guess that's what happens when your world is crumbling down around you.
I made a move toward the door but the guys got in my way.
"Steady, steady, we don't know who's out there, we're going in blind the cameras to some parts of the house were deactivated. I can't let you go out there man not until we know for sure."
"Get the fuck out of my way Gage." He might be right but I couldn't stop to think about that now. Somewhere on this very floor not far from me she was scared, that thought alone had me going crazy.
"Where the fuck is she you sure she's here we can't be seen here together?" Another man could be heard through the door, I wasn't quite sure who he was until the senator started talking because his face was hidden.
"Shut the fuck up doc this is all your fault I told you we should've kept a closer eye on her but no you thought that fuck up had it under control, now look at the mess we're in."
"Calm down senator, no use passing blame around we need to find the girl and find out what she told this Thorpe fuck."
"And then what?"
"Then we off them both and get the hell out of here."
"We can’t kill the girl I need her...."
"You always were a crazy fuck, it’s too late for that."
"Screw you doc."
"You sure Starks said she was here?"
"Yes."
Gideon
I felt my heart drop, Jason? Had Jason betrayed us? But how why? Wait a minute that didn't make any sense. If it had been Jason she never would've made it to the safe room, would she? What the hell was going on here?
"Let's move I need to get to my wife."
"Okay Gideon we're just making sure that that's it. We still haven't located the security detail in the building and we don't know how we were breeched, if it was an inside job then we need to be careful, we could be walking into a trap."
"Where are they?"
"Don't know yet they're not at their post that much we know other than that I couldn't say and we can't go looking because we'd alert those two and whoever else they have with them that we're here. She's safe in that room boss you have it stocked with everything she needs. We'll have her out in no time."
Yes, again all that's true but my baby will be scared and she's been through so much already in her young life...
"They don't leave here alive." Forget trials and long drawn out bullshit, today was the last those two fucks will ever draw breath.
"That's a given boss."
It felt like forever before Gage gave the all clear. Maurice had gone somewhere and came back with the news that the guards had been knocked out. At least they were still alive.
Apparently the two now crawling through my house baiting my wife had used some sort of sleeping gas. I was still trying to figure out who had told them where to find her.
I know our marriage had been in the papers yes but neither of those men are locals and my address isn't public knowledge. Sanders might've talked before he bought it but he didn't know where I lived either so which Starks had it been? The father or the son?
"How much longer?"
"Soon Gideon, there's a lot to take into consideration here, we have an unknown in the house granted it wasn't the kid that sold us out, which I'm inclined to believe he didn't. If we off these two assholes we have clean up, the team’s already on standby by the way; you're gonna want to get to Ashley as soon as possible and I'm thinking you don't want her seeing dead bodies laying around, too many questions.”
“So we have to do this right. On top of that, although this place is like a fort it’s still surrounded by other high-rise buildings and you have more glass in here than the Corning Ware factory; you get the picture? We need them in the right location to act, then we'll move."
