Chapter 7
"Are we ready?" Danny asked quietly to Leah as she exited Isabel's office.
"Yeah."
"She didn't arrest you?"
"Nope, she didn't' have time to see me."
"Sounds good, let's go."
"Mmkay." The two began walking down the long hallway.
"You know, you look identical to her now."
"No shit sherlock, I'm her only child."
"Right."
"Good luck." She smiled at Danny as she turned down her hallway and he turned down his. The young woman took a deep breath as she neared Drew's office, she had stolen things in the past, but never been someone, and pulled it on her boss. She knocked on the door, Drew spoke from within.
"Come in." She entered, "Ah, Miss Lahiri, you're here to speak about your case I expect?"
"Yes." She immediately had changed her voice to make it sound more like Isabel's than hers.
"Well take a seat." Leah took it, "And go ahead."
"Well...I don't know how much you have heard already, but, a few nights ago, Terry Benedict's club was robbed by the American's, and Shadowfax."
"Who is actually Leah Marc."
"We're not quite sure yet, it might not be true."
"She might have just played a side role in it?"
"Yes."
"All right. Go on."
"Well, Lou, the bouncer, called me right away, and I headed to the hotel to get Leah so we could bust it. However, I found Terry handcuffed to the bedframe, and he told me what happened."
"Then Leah arrived?"
"Yes, I said I would arrest her the next time I saw her, and she fled to the Americans."
"Is she still with the Americans?"
"We don't really know yet. She may be sticking with them, she might be back at her house, which we have no idea where it is."
"Even then we don't have the grounds to arrest her if she's out of the country."
"Right. And we..." She was cut off suddenly by the door bursting open, quickly, Leah stood up to beside Drew's desk.
"You bitch!" Isabel yelled, shooting the gun. Leah let out a small shriek before diving behind Drew's desk and pulling out her own gun.
"What do you think you're doing?" She shrieked, emerging from her protection and striding towards the woman
"What do I think I'm doing? What the hell do YOU think you're doing?"
"What's going on? Drew shouted, but was completely ignored.
"First, you betray the Policia and Benedict by helping the Americans and by having the other personality of Shadowfax, and now you DRUG me!" Within a fraction of a second, the two had slapped each other and made more attempts to but security quickly separated them.
"How could you ever think of killing me, much less arresting me, I'm you're daughter for Christ's sake!" Leah spat out in one smooth breath. Isabel froze, lowering her gun.
"Wha...Michelle?"
"You're not getting a second chance." The twenty-year-old strode out from behind the desk, leaving the office.
"Have you told Rusty?" Isabel shouted after her. Leah stopped, turning around.
"Told Rusty what?"
"Nothing." Isabel replied quickly. Leah shook her head, and hurried away, to the crossing hallway where she had left Danny. She took out her cell phone and speed dialed theirs.
"What?" Danny picked up.
"Grab all you can and GET OUT." She hung up the phone and hurried out of the Policia, there was just enough time to get back to her own house before her arrest would be called, and if she was out of the country, it wouldn't matter.
