Lexie POV
The sirens were ear piercing and I wasn't even in central prison anymore, no one had a clue who had escaped or how so I had a few hours before they knew it was me they were looking for. I had picked the perfect night for my escape, it was dark and clouds scattered the sky blocking the moon light making the shadows even darker.
As I walked through the back alley's I stripped down taking off my prison jump suit leaving it on the ground behind me and tying my hair up, there was a dumpster up ahead. When I reached it there was my bag sitting behind it with all my stuff as planned. The sirens kept most people inside or others on the streets intrigued to what it meant, no one had escaped from Central prison so this was going to be big and I needed to get off the streets ASAP.
The dark alley gave me enough coverage to get dressed without being noticed, I pulled my jacket on and went through the weapons that were in the bag. Three knives and one gun with one bullet, I was going to have to make this count until I could get my hands on more. I hid the daggers on myself under my clothes, loaded my gun and put the bag in the dumpster. I stepped out of the alley with my hood over my head and looking for any sign of the military but nothing, they still hadn't figured out who had got away and they weren't going to catch me, I knew that for a fact.
I walked the deserted streets keeping to the shadows and looking over my shoulder getting slightly paranoid, I saw a few people walking the streets wanting to know what the sirens meant. I turned the corner to see a blue uniformed officer trying to convince people to go back inside, I stepped back behind the wall listening.
"You need to stay in doors, lock your doors and stay in until it's safe" the blonde officer said, they were acting as if I was some murderer on a rampage with a gun... Okay I was classified as a murderer and I was holding a gun but I had no intention to kill anyone... That wasn't true either, I'd only kill if it was necessary not that that sounded any better.
"What's happening?" Asked the women the officer was trying to convince to go back inside. "You can't expect us to just lock our doors and not ask why" I glanced around the corner.
"I don't know the details yet so please just stay inside, there is a suspected criminal out on the street" I rolled my eyes, I was not the worst person on the street right now. There were worse than me out here and my sentence was exaggerated to make me sound worse than what I was. I turned back around heading away from the officer. My face was still highly known from the papers and I didn't need anyone recognising me yet.
A couple of streets over and I had no trouble getting to the place I needed, a bar owned by the one man who could help in this situation. I put the gun in the back of my pants putting it away and walked towards the two men guarding the entrance, they watched me as I approached with my hood on my head.
"What'd you want?" Asked one of the men, I pulled my hood off and I know they recognised me straight away.
"Is he here?" I asked, they both smiled.
"What if he is?" the stocky short one asked, "I doubt he'd want anything to do with you and I'm assuming those sirens are because of you?" I crossed my arms.
"So he is here?" they both shrugged at me, I pulled out my gun and shoved it into the mouth of the short stocky guy and the other one put his gun to my head. "We can either make this easy or hard" I said to both of them, "any minute now the military will be crawling around looking for me and if they catch me here, with you, ill tell them I was conspiring with you" the one with my gun in his mouth gulped glancing at the other one. He pulled the gun from my head.
"Fine, ill go let him know you're here" he walked in and i pulled my gun out of the others mouth, he composed him self and holding onto his gun just in case I decided to stick the barrel of my gun in his mouth again.
"So how'd you do it?" he asked, "escape Central Prison?" I smiled at him.
"I'll let you decide how I did it" leaving it as a mystery would make them less likely to want to cross someone who could do something everyone believed was impossible. The more they thought about it the more complex the story would become in their head, I needed these people to fear me or id be nothing but a child to them and if I wanted to go back to this life then being seen as a child was my disadvantage.
"No fucking way" out stepped a large man with dark brown hair and stubble around his face, "what are you doing here you brat?" I stared up at Duke. The man who had taught me every dirty trick I knew... Victor Sinclair's guard dog.
"Im here to see your master" I said with a straight face, Duke looked up at the sky, listening.
"You caused that siren?" he asked, I nodded. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the bar, "Now you'll have the military crawling around on high alert, good fucking one Alexis" the bar was full of high socialite's… actually it was full of high socialite men with half naked women dancing around them.
"Your two guards out there are a bit pathetic" I said to Duke, "when did Victor start hiring losers?" Duke laughed.
"He hired you once, I don't see the difference" I rolled my eyes at him, he dragged me up into one of the back rooms. He pushed me through the red velvet curtain as two women left, inside sat two guards on the opposite side of Victor while he sat there puffing on a cigar.
"She fucking did escape!" the one on his left exclaimed in laughter, he had a hand full of dirty money bills in his hands and threw them at me. "I never thought you'd be smart enough to escape that black hole" the paper hit my shoulder and scattered around me, Victor glanced at his guard.
"Quiet" he said to his guard.
"Yes sir" the guard said softly and looking down to the ground, Victor looked up at me.
"What do you want?" he asked me, he took a puff on his cigar. "Come to beg me to take you back?" he asked blowing the smoke in my face, I pushed all my pride a side.
"Yes" I said staring into his deep blue eyes, they were one of the scariest things I had ever looked into. "I was betrayed and now I've come to you to say I'm sorry and that I want to help you" Victor leaned back in his seat and chuckled.
"And what are you going to help me with?" he asked.
"Take down the military, I can help you destroy it" his smirk increased.
"Even if you could, I don't need any extra dogs working for me, he already replaced you" Victor said nodding at the guy on his left. I knew what he was doing, he was testing me. I pulled out my gun, pointed it at the guys head and pulled the trigger before he could react. The guy hit the ground and blood pooled around him, no one around me flinched. That better have been worth it, that was my only bullet.
"Now will you take me back?" I asked, Victor looked down at the dead body at his feet still smirking, he glanced up at me again and raised his eyebrows.
"Do it" Duke snarled from behind me and prodding my shoulder with his finger, I put my gun away and sunk down to my knees. I could feel the blood soak through my pants as it ran across the floor pooling out of the guys head, I put my head down.
"Please take me back" this was the most humiliating thing I had ever done in my life, "I will do anything for you, I will live for you and kill for you, I am yours and yours alone" I looked up at Victor and he was watching me amused, I could hear Duke chuckling to himself behind me. "Will you take me back?" I asked, Victor gestured for me to stand back up and I did, ignoring the wet patches of blood on my knees.
"Well now I've got an opening, so I do need someone of your skill" he looked me up and down, "ill take you back but" he stood up and stood over me. "Betray me and you will meet an unsightly death, got it?" I nodded.
"Understood" I said showing no fear, Victor put his finger under my chin and he lifted my head up towards him.
"Welcome back Alexis" he whispered with a devilish smile, I gulped ever so slightly. "You belong to me again, I've missed you ever so much" he put his lips to my ear, "my little killer" a shiver ran through my body making me tense in fear.
