BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1857 - Escape (2)
"Watch your words, woman!", the man from the door growled.
Sarah wondered if he is defending Simeon out of respect or fear, but then… it does not matter.
Sarah stifled a laugh. "Or what?"
The man that was in the cell was irritated by Sarah\'s disrespect. She is a prisoner, she should beg them for mercy and not mock their boss. He decided to teach her a lesson.
His eyes lit up maliciously as he swung the metal bar to hit Sarah.
At the same moment, Sarah grabbed the metal bar with her left arm, and Aiden\'s foot connected with the man\'s chest, launching the man in the wall violently.
The man that was at the door reacted swiftly and closed the door. He was reaching for his gun when Sarah threw the metal bar his way as if she is throwing a javelin.
The metal bar went through the gaps on the door, pierced the jailor\'s chest, and pushed him backward until his back hit the door of the cell behind him. The man released a few gurgling sounds before losing consciousness and sliding on the floor with his expression frozen into horror.
Aiden\'s fists worked swiftly on the jailor who was in their cell.
Only after confirming that the guy is unconscious, Aiden let him go.
Sarah looked at Aiden with excitement swirling in her eyes. "It begins…"
Aiden enjoyed her spirit, and he knows that they feel the same. Neither of them is looking forward to the upcoming fight but sitting in the cell and waiting for things to happen was suffocating. They are used to being in charge, and not spectators. Like this, they have a feeling that they are doing something about their situation.
After a few moments of heavy silence, other prisoners stirred.
"What was that commotion?", one prisoner asked.
"What is going on?", another voice shouted.
"They killed both of them!", the man shouted. He is in the cell opposite from Sarah\'s and Aiden\'s and he saw the whole thing.
"Eve, shut down all the surveillance feed for the Voronins.", Sarah said softly in her ear stud.
She didn\'t have time to type, and unless someone was right next to her, no one could hear her.
Aiden nodded in approval of Sarah\'s command.
They both know that pretending all is fine won\'t work because Simeon and his goons were watching, and by shutting all of it, they might think that it\'s a global failure. If only surveillance in this building was shut down, it would point to the fact that Sarah and Aiden are behind it.
"Let\'s take care of our jailors.", Aiden said and took the gun from the back of the guy who was unconscious in the cell before going for the gun of the guy in the hallway.
Sarah took one gun and stopped in the hallway to observed the man who was their \'neighbor across the hall\'.
"Do you want out?", Sarah asked.
The man shook his head vigorously, rejecting the offer. "That is suicide."
"Suit yourself.", Sarah responded and spoke in a raised voice: "You know why you are here! If you believe that they will let you live, you are welcome to stay and wait for the torture to come. But if you know how the prisoners of the Voronins end up, you will join us and maybe you get out of here!"
Aiden shook his head and advanced toward the door. He does not want to deal with other prisoners, as they have a problem of their own to figure out.
Right now, Sarah and Aiden are about ten minutes away until their rescuers arrive.
They have options to leave this place and face any enemies that will come their way or to barricade themselves inside and wait for the rescue. Considering the number of people outside, it\'s safer to stay in and wait for the reinforcements.
Aiden is counting that drones will remove most of their enemies.
With two gunshots, Aiden took out two men who were approaching them. Aiden swiftly took the guns from them, returned to the hallway where Sarah was, closed the door behind him, and locked them in.
"I want out!", one of the prisoners shouted.
"Me too!"
Sarah smiled smugly and Aiden rolled his eyes.
"Are you sure you want to let them out? What if they turn against us?", Aiden asked.
Sarah was about to say that they can inject them with the truth serum and ask if they are honest, but that is not necessary.
They need some cannon fodder for when they bust out of this place, and these people can act as a diversion just fine. She has no special feelings for any of these prisoners; they are here because they are associated with the Voronins or some other shady organization. None is innocent and if they can increase Sarah\'s and Aiden\'s chances to get out of here, Sarah has no problems using them.
In Sarah\'s opinion, they can let these prisoners out and leave them to fend for themselves, or they can inject them with the obedience potion in order to make sure they will not turn on them and keep them around.
"Don\'t leave me behind!", a familiar female voice was heard.
Sarah turned and saw Vanya peeking behind the metal bars that form the door of her cell. Vanya\'s leg is in a cast (courtesy of Aiden) and she is heavily bruised, but Sarah recognized her. As much as Sarah is bad with remembering names and faces, she has a special place in her memory for all bed climbers who were coveting her husband.
"How brave of you to ask for my help.", Sarah said icily.
"Don\'t leave me. They will kill me.", Vanya pleaded.
"Trust me. Your chance of surviving is better if you stay here.", Sarah responded.
Vanya felt her world collapsing. The Voronins treated her fracture, but only so that they can torture her further. When they found her in the warehouse with Dusan, the Voronins picked them up. How was she supposed to know that Dusan is an undercover agent? And then they assumed that she is some agent as well, and she is aware that no one will save her. Her base leader will not dare to vouch for her, and risk being implicated.
Vanya had some hope of being released eventually, but yesterday they took Dusan out and he didn\'t return, and she overheard the jailors talking about how he died during the torture. The jailors had a bet on how long Dusan will survive and the one that lost the bet was not happy about it.
Jailors bet on each of the prisoners, how long they will hold on before dying. There are no bets for when anyone will be released, and Vanya knows that this is her last chance.
"Please, I will do anything.", Vanya said through sobs.
Sarah\'s lips stretched into a smile. She swiftly injected Vanya with the obedience potion and opened the door of Vanya\'s cell.
"I know that you will do anything.", Sarah said. "Now sit there and wait for further orders. If you dare to look at what belongs to me...", Sarah gestured toward Aiden. "I will gouge your eyes out."
"OK.", Vanya responded obediently.
Aiden saw what Sarah did (the obedience potion) and he approved. "We can release the ones who want to join us in getting out of here."
