TW: Implied torture
"Rose!" The sound of Raye's voice echoing off the walls of the range where Rose was throwing stiletto knives at mannequins.
"What?" Rose called back. She knew Raye could hear her.
"Rose get your plump ass up here! I got a job for ya'!"
Rose put down the stiletto she was about to throw and smiled. She hadn't had a job in the past three months. She'd been stuck in the base with Dirk, Jake and Roxy. Of course the Theta were there as well. The Theta never left the base. It had been hard for Rose to be around Dirk and Jake, because they had been happy for a while then they broke up and refused to talk. Roxy, bless her, was trying to make sure they all stayed on good terms and Rose was sick of all the moping. Roxy had just barely got out of the habit of drinking. A habit witch she picked up from Raye. Raye was never completely lucid anymore. A job was music to Rose's ears and she headed upstairs to Raye's office. Raye was waiting for her. Rose sat down in the chair across from Raye. Raye had a file in one hand and a martini in the other. The martini glass with prints from the black lipstick she wore.
"We received information that the felt are planning something big. We need you to break into this warehouse and steal their plans. Do whatever you can to remain unnoticed." Rose took the file. It would tell her where to land her helicopter and where the warehouse was. The Pack had an array of two person helicopters that only needed one piolt to fly. They used them to fly across the country discreetly. Rose preferred flying to driving, especially since the base was in such a secluded area of deep woods. The base itself was an elaborate underground fortress, resident to only twelve people. It was underneath a small cabin in the woods. The elevator down was in the closet of the only bedroom. The cabin had a fully stocked kitchen at all times and was fully furnished to maintain it's appearance, should anyone stumble upon it. A clearing that served as an underground garage opened up whenever someone was leaving via helicopter or car.
"Sounds easy enough. Shouldn't take long."
"Take your time Rose, don't get caught."
"I won't Raye. I never do."
Rose prepared to leave during the day. She packed a minigun, a book, her phone, her specially made twin daggers and a shotgun with a silencer. She said her goodbyes to Roxy and headed off that left her phone in the helicopter in case anything went sour they wouldn't be able to get it. She arrived in the morning and caught a rest at a local motel. Then she was off to break into the warehouse. That was two weeks ago.
There had been a trap. The Felt knew she was coming and they were ready for her. They caught her and strung her up on the wall. They cut into her. Trying to tear her secrets right from her skin. Pain. It caused her too much pain. Darkness. She drifted in and out of consciousness. Light. It was too bright. Time. When was it? Was that... a door? Darkness.
this one was about how rose got trapped in the warehouse. next will be about death of the dolorosa and kidnapping of porrim
