Chapter 137A
Aliza pov
Taking quick steps down the stairs, I try to get down as fast as I can, there are a lot of steps to get down on each floor. After I have managed to get down the first two floors, it gets easier when I have a steady pace. After reaching the last stairs, after a while, I have to stop by the door and catch my breath for a second.
Looking at the door, I see a handle, and I guess that’s all I have to do to get out of here. I take a deep breath before I slowly open the door and peek outside the gap. I don’t see anyone nearby, and I slowly open the door a bit more.
Seeing that I’m in the back of the building and some bushes are placed right in front of the doorway, I know I will probably be able to sneak out of here undetected. With no guards on this side nearby, I just have to make my way over to the right and follow the buildings until I come to the one we are meeting up at.
Taking a deep breath, I feel my heart hammer in my chest, I know I can’t get caught if I’m going to be able to sneak out of here, and right
now her life depends on me getting out.
With one last look around, I walk out of the door and take shelter behind the first bushes before I spot one ahead that would be perfect to hide behind. I have no time to waste and quickly run over to the next one before I crunch down and hide behind it. Seeing two guards walking around the building by the corner and scanning the place with their eyes before I see them turn around and walk back.
Now it’s my chance, and I’m quick to make a run for it while my heart is beating hard in my chest. I don’t look back when I run, and I only have the first building as my goal to reach. Coming around the corner of the building, I see one guard walk by and quickly throw myself behind a dumpster, hoping it’s enough to give me shelter.
I wait for what feels like ages before I slowly peek my head around the corner and see if he is still there, but the street is empty when I see Liz’s car drive by. Pushing off the wall, I make it to the corner of the building and see Liz stopping to the side and talking to the guard.
It was here we were supposed to meet, and I can’t walk out right now, have to find another way to make her see me. Looking around, I see some thick bushes a bit ahead, and if I can just get there, she might be able to spot me.
Trying to not make any sound when I run around the building, back the way I came from, and stopping before I run around in the back. I know I’m exposed and could easily be seen when I make my way around the building. but I have no other option.
When I don’t see anyone. I take a deep breath and quickly start running It feels like an eternity before I have managed to come around the corner on the other side, and just a bit more and I will be reaching for the bushes.
I don’t stop to catch my breath or look for any guests when I make my way over to the bushes and jump behind them. Ducking between the bushes, I crunch down and slowly make my way forward, just enough to be able to look behind them to try and alert Liz.
