Chapter 1
I gulped. Its okay. I mean its not like they're going to catch me. I know I can easily outrun them. Yet her thoughts didn't convince her as she hoped they would. Her legs kept running, as her heart pumped adrenaline throughtout her body. Her chest was heaving breaths in and out. Just four more blocks.
She looked behind her, and saw men in black suits trying to pursue her. Her arms tightened its hold around the package, C'mon, I'm almost there. Don't look behind you! She saw a fence coming up, the girl jumped over the fence and kept running, never looking back until she reached her destination.
"Darn, she escaped." the first man to reach the fence grumbled.
The second man sighed, "Who's the one calling the boss?" He looked around at his fellow companions.
"That won't be necessary," a deep masculine voice replied.
"Boss!" multiple voices stuttered in fear.
The girl finally slowed down to a walking pace and headed towards a tinted glass building with the glowing letters "B.O.U.N.D." written across it.
She showed her ID card to the security guard and headed inside. As she went inside, she had to go through multiple security screenings, before she was even allowed access to the lounge room.
"Oi! Rivers! Where the heck are you?" the girl shouted.
"Now, now, no need to be so fussy," replied the lazy voice of a man with dirty blond hair and thin wired glasses.
The woman with black raven hair tied up into a ponytail, and eyes hidden behind shades, sighed tiredly, "Work was horrible, if you catch my drift." She turned her head to look pointedly at her companion.
The man frowned, "You were followed," the phrase was a statement, not a question.
"Yes, but I managed to lose them at the fence," her hand was massaging her aching temples.
"Did you get the package?" he questioned the girl.
"Yes."
"That's good."
"I know."
"Anything else?"
"Did you happen to get the reading about," she paused, "that certain thing?"
"Yup, but you might want to check it out. Its a bit unnerving." the man handed her the notes.
"How so?" she opened up the envelope and took out the notes. Her eyes widened with shock.
Who could we be dealing with that is so powerful?
Author's Notes: Should I continue? I mean if I don't get any feedback I'll probably just delete this story. Please review and tell me what you think!
