Sorry for the long wait!
Was busy previously.
And.. lazy.
So here it is, chapter 4.
Forgive me for my poor grammarrrrr.
Enjoy!
Chapter 4
"That house. Drive the car into the driveway. It'd be easier for us." Fred followed Robin's instructions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Elle, are you expecting any guests?" Valoria asked. "No. Why?" Layna continued to screen the information in the gadget. "There's a car at your driveway. There're two guys dressed in black." Valoria peeked through the window. Layna peered and exclaimed,"Oh shit, FBI. Val, grab your bag and mine. I'll get the gadget and my cell phone. Exit through the basement. Go!" Valoria grabbed the bags and some clothes hastily while Layna ran to the living room to grab her cell phone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fred, go to the back door. I'll go through the front." They took out their guns and proceeded to the doors. Robin kicked the door open and barged in. The living room was in a mess but there was no one. Immediately, he rushed to the second floor. Still no one. "Fred, anyone down there?" Robin said, through the communicator. "No, Robin. Just a dog in the yard. Kitchen's clear too. Let's search for the RCA." whispered Fred. "Alright, come in. Mr. Mitch said the gadget is as big as a mobile phone. You're in charge of the first floor."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Elle, why are we at the basement? They'll get to us soon!" Valoria breathed. "There's an exit down here. Dad said it'd come in handy some day. He made this tunnel by himself. It should be around... here." Layna pushed the wall and a tunnel came into sight. They entered the tunnel and Layna closed the door from the inside. Layna tore the map off the wall and leaded the way. "This tunnel will lead us to the sewers, then to the streets and we can get a cab." The tunnel was confusing. There were many exits and turns. They trudged along the waters as Val wondered how Mr. Portman did these tunnels.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fred, are you finished? Check the basement." Fred made his way to the basement. "Robin, something's weird about this basement. Come down, will ya?" The communicator buzzed and Robin said 'wait' gruffly. They searched the basement thoroughly. "Bullshit, you wasted my time, Fred. Let's go back to HQ. I think someone took the RCA."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a 15-minute walk in the tunnel, Layna and Valoria finally got to the exit. They climbed the ladder and pushed the lid open. Light streamed in and blinded the two as they shield their eyes with their hands. Layna climbed out of the tunnel and helped Valoria out while she announced,"We're at Farrey Alley." "Farrey Alley? Why are we here? No, wait. More importantly, where should we go now, Elle? Can we get to the police and hand it over?" Valoria asked worriedly. "Val, they might just kill us after they get this gadget. This whole experiment was supposed to be confidential." Layna started walking down Farrey Alley. And then she realised why the tunnel was built to link to Farrey Alley.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You morons! It must be with that daughter of Portman's. Track her down, now!" Franklin Mitch yelled as he threw a file at Fred. "Shouldn't have trusted Portman. And the two of you, damn it. Why are you still standing there?! Get the hell out of my office! Find that gadget at all costs or I'll have you two to pay your lives for the loss of it!" Fred and Robin hurried out of the office before more files came flying at them.
To be continued...
