「 FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY 」

33 | "This is some James Bond shit"

"Gracie? Oh your kitten! Yeah no problem, Beth will be overjoyed and Bella loves cats so don't worry about her" and I laughed.

"We're leaving in a few minutes so there's a spare key under the potted plant next to the door and if Gracie's being stubborn just give her food, she'll be begging at your feet... Oh- that reminds me, the cat food is the pantry at the very last shelf and if you need anything I'm just a phone call away",

"Hi Lexie!" I heard Beth's voice and I smiled,

"Hi Beth" I said,

"Okay I think I got it" Logan said,

"Look after my baby Logan" I warned and I heard him laugh.

"I will...Oh and Alexandra... Be careful"

"Always am".

I put my phone in my pocket just as Mia burst through my bedroom door,

Without crutches.

"I'm free!" he said, sighing and plopping down next to me on my bed,

"Are you sure you're okay to come on this trip?" I was still worried about her leg.

"I'm better than okay!" she told me, "Stop worrying, I already had to convince Megan and Noah- I can't take it anymore",

"Okay okay" I laughed, putting my hands up in surrender as we walked down the stairs.

"Letsa go!" Dylan called when reached the living room,

"That's an unnaturally good Mario impression" I chuckled him as I said a quick hello to everyone in the room.

"I dabble in the dark arts"

"What?"

"I have no idea".

We headed to the cars where Noah and Megan got into Noah's car, Dylan, Liam and Kyle got into Dylan's car and Chase, Mia and I got into Mia's car.

"Are you sure you'll be okay to drive?" Chase asked from the backseat and Mia groaned loudly,

She turned to me, "Do you see what I have to deal with" and I laughed as we started the long drive to the warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

It was a evening now and we drove for hours while Mia and Chase swapped drivers every so often so they wouldn't get too tired,

"Can I drive?" I asked,

"You'll crash my car, no way!" Mia replied and I frowned, slumping back into my seat.

True to Noah's words, we reached the middle of nowhere warehouse at around midnight.

We parked the cars behind the warehouse and out of sight, getting out of our cars slowly while making sure not to slam the doors so if there were people in there they wouldn't know we were here.

The place was dry and barren expect for this warehouse right in the middle, we hadn't seen any sign of civilisation on the way out here until now.

"So what's the plan?" Liam asked as we met up with everyone else,

"We get in there, scope out the situation and leave" Megan told us,

"That's it? No kicking ass?" Dylan said with a frown,

"Nope" Noah replied.

Noah and Megan led the way, followed by Liam, Dylan and Kyle with Chase, Mia and I trailing behind them, we stuck to the side of the building in a single file.

"Stop" Kyle whispered harshly to Noah who was just about to turn the corner to the front of the warehouse. Kyle pointed to the top of the building where a single security camera barely missed him being in the shot.
