Chapter 7
(A/N: Hey guys! So this chapter will be Bex's P.O.V and she's at the safe house and her P.O.V happens while Cammie and Zach are hiking up the mountain.)
P.O.V of Rebecca Baxter
While Cammie and Zach are hiking up the mountain…
Urgh! Morgan and Goode make me so mad! They are crazy going up that mountain, an avalanche could happen, or they might actually find Nabokov. And they are relying on smoke signals to call for back up? Yeah they are beyond crazy.
Since I didn't want to help out with their little mission, I'm stuck at this stupid safe house. Not only are we all fighting for the bathroom; the rooms are filled with rats and spiders. SPIDERS! Grant spent 20 minutes killing spiders so I could get a little sleep. After they left I took a shower. All the hot water was used yesterday so today the water was freezing. No wonder barely anyone lives here.
Now what to do…
I decided to start filling out some paper work since there was nothing better to do. But 10 minutes of focusing on that I got bored. I started doing pushups and sit ups. That entertained me for about 50 minutes. So an hour has gone by but it feels like it's been 5 hours. Maybe I should have gone, just to tell them "I told you so". And what if they actually do need back up, I'd be a terrible best friend to no help rescue my best friend and her boyfriend. This sucks.
I go to the kitchen to go get a glass of water. Just my luck, the cabinet door falls off. I'm just so pissed off I throw it to the ground with all my muscle. It dents the floor and wipes out the rug that was near me. I look over and see a perfect square door on the floor. Nowhere in the blueprints of this house did it point out an underground level of the house. With my curiosity getting the best of me I slowly open the secret door. There are stairs that lead about 5 feet underground. I grab a flashlight and an emergency button that will notify Liz and Jonas if anything happens to me. I start to descend down the stairs. As I go farther into this secret level of our safe house, I hear a buzzing noise that gets louder and louder as I keep going. Once I've been walking for a good minutes and a half, I reach a room with a machine making the buzzing noise I was hearing before. It was rectangular. It had a panel full of buttons. And it had a monitor that was about 6 inches thick but no screen. You could put your hand through it. (A/N: Sound familiar?) I decide not to touch it yet. All around this cramped underground room is notebook paper taped to the walls. Some papers have diagrams of the machine. Others have notes written on them.
They go to work at 8, no good security system, can pick the lock, and break in Oct. 15.
That was the first note I read. October 15 was the day Zach and Cammie's apartment got broken into.
Safe house will be right above me, can sneak up to write message on mirror when they go into town
We left to go into town when the message was written.
Can finally leave this room when the go scavenge the mountains. Finally can get my revenge.
They are at the mountains right now! Oh my god. The freak that has been planning all this has been right under us the whole time. Now I'm really sick to my stomach. Then something catches my eye. A newspaper article. It's about Josh Abrams, Cammie's first boyfriend from sophomore year, went missing about a month ago. Since we've all been living in D.C for the past four years and not Roseville, this comes as a complete shock. Why would someone have this? There's a note by it.
Cammie lied, she started going out with some James Bond guy, she left me. WHY? I did everything right, and for what to end up with DeeDee? I'll kill that Zach and take her back. Or I'll kill both of them.
This is Josh Abrams? The Roseville's perfect suburban boy? No this cannot be right. There must be a mix up. I read another note.
It's been 7 years of planning and I'll finally get what I want.
He's been planning this since sophomore year? Now this is a really big mix up. I must be dreaming. I must have hit my head when that cabinet fell. But then a hand grabs my shoulder. I immediately react and flip a man who is about 70 pounds heavier than me. He lands on his back and I have him pinned. My foot is very close to smashing his esophagus.
"Where's Abrams?"
"*cough cough* at the mountains," he says barley getting the words out. I crush his esophagus anyway and he dies from getting no air. A slow painful death. But I don't have time to feel sorry or put him out of his misery, I run as fast as I can to Macey and the others. It takes 20 minutes and it feels like every minute is wasted.
"Bex what are…?" Grant starts to say, but I cut him off and explain what I saw. Everyone's jaws drop. Then we here gun shots. A few minutes later we see a thin line of red smoke enter the air. We all immediately start heading up the mountain to help Zach and Cammie.
(A/N: How was that? I know it's pretty short but at least it leads to something exciting! Please leave a review! Thanks for the great reviews I got on the last chapter. You guys are awesome! Thanks for reading!)
