She then grabbed the mop she left leaning on one counter and started mopping the floor. She looked up when she heard the bell from the entrance sound and frowned.

The rooftop erupted into chaos.The moment Saood realized Alex had no intention of backing down, he moved.Much faster than she expected.Saood crossed the distance between them and struck before she could properly raise her weapon.Alex twisted away but his fist caught her across the jaw, snapping her head sideways that made her stumble. Her mouth is then immediately filled with blood.She spat it onto the concrete and looked back at him.Saood smiled."Still confident, Alexandra?"Alex wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand."Still ugly, Nazmi." She shot back coldly.Saood immediately charged that Alex barely blocked the next blow. The impact drove her backward several steps.Damon immediately raised his weapon."Alex!" He shouted."Don't shoot!" She yelled as she ducked beneath another strike. She saw Damon lowered his weapon slightly. "Elise, get me control of the east-side systems! And I mean, NOW!""I'm trying, Alex!" Elise responded loudly."The building is shu

The rooftop seemed to hold its breath.Damon stood several yards away with his weapon trained on Saood.Zach had positioned himself slightly to the side, watching both men carefully.Alex stood between them and she could feel the tension in every muscle of her body."You brought them exactly where I wanted." Saood said with a smile.Alex ignored him as her eyes moved toward Damon and Zach before towards the rooftop entrance. Something’s not right. She thought deeply. Why would Saood want us all together?Alex's mind raced before she finally remembered Cameron, Kathleen, Rebecca and Benedict.The hostages and Saood had left them behind or he hadn't left them behind.He had simply assumed they were no longer important.Alex suddenly turned toward Zach."Zach!"He immediately looked at her."What?""Get Cameron." She instructed loudly.Damon's expression changed."Alex—""Get Cameron and the others out of the building." She interrupted firmly.Zach lowered his weapon slightly."Where?""

The corridor was empty.Alex moved quickly, her footsteps echoing against the concrete.She didn't chase blindly.She watched, listened and calculated.Saood had planned everything.He had redesigned the building according to his needs.He knew the exits, the security systems.He knew her, which meant he would expect her to follow.Alex stopped as she looked at the hallway ahead, her mind immediately thinking that there are three possible directions that Saood will take.She closed her eyes.For a moment, she imagined what Saood would do. Think, Alex! Left, right or straight. She thought. Where will you go if you’re in his shoes?He wouldn't take the obvious route.He wouldn't use the emergency exit.He would choose something that gave him control.A hidden passage that is something connected to the upper levels.Alex opened her eyes."Got you." She muttered as she turned right.Back at the office chamber, Cameron stood guard while Rebecca remained beside Kathleen.Benedict sat agains
Assassin Beauty CHAPTER 87
Alex waited, remembering that had learned long ago that the most dangerous moment will not be when the shooting will start.It was the second before it where someone still think he had control.Saood believed he had it.His men were positioned around the room. Cameron, Kathleen, and Rebecca were restrained. Benedict stood near the doorway, smugly watching everything unfold.And Saood had turned his back.Wrong move, Saood. Alex thought coldly because that was all she needed.Her eyes flicked toward the nearest guard.Then the second.Then the third.She counted silently.Three.Her gaze moved toward the security console.Four.The guard closest to Rebecca shifted his weight.Five.Alex saw the opening and she moved.Her first strike was fast.She caught the guard's wrist before he could react, twisted the weapon away from him, and drove him into the side of the desk.The gun came free.A second guard raised his weapon.Alex fired.The shot struck him cleanly in the shoulder, sending h

Saood did not give Alex time to recover. He seized her arm and pulled her through another reinforced door roughly.Alex stumbled forward, immediately fighting against his grip."Let go of me." She snarled.Saood didn't even look at her."You'll want to see this, Alex." He only said. Something in his voice made her stop struggling. “I’m sure you will like it.”Saood only sounded that calm when he had already won something.They entered another room.An office.Large.Luxurious.Completely out of place beneath the cold concrete structure surrounding it.A wall of dark glass overlooked the city.There was a massive desk at the center, several monitors along the walls and a collection of files arranged neatly on a side table.But Alex barely noticed any of it as her eyes immediately went to the people sitting against the far wall."Cameron." She stated, her heart stopping at the sight in front of her.Her estranged father looked up.His face was bruised, but he was conscious.Beside him s
Assassin Beauty CHAPTER 85
For a few precious minutes, everything went according to plan.Too perfectly.Alex stood in the chamber with her back against one of the reinforced pillars, watching the screens around Saood flicker one after another.Elise had regained access and Zach's team had breached the western security network.Damon was already moving through the upper levels.The men surrounding Alex had been forced to retreat when the security systems they depended on suddenly turned against them.Doors slammed shut and weapons started malfunctioning.Communications went dead.For the first time since she had entered Gallagher Enterprise, Saood looked genuinely cornered.Alex allowed herself one small breath."Checkmate." She hissed.Saood stared at her for a while before he let out a laugh. Just a low, amused laugh that made the hairs on the back of Alex's neck rise."You really thought that was enough?" He asked calmly. “Really, Alexandra. I thought you know me well.”Alex's eyes narrowed."Elise." She cal

Zach, with a splitting headache, groaned as he opened his eyes, holding his head rolled onto his back and stared up at the ceiling, wondering how he ended there. All he could recall was that he went with Alex and Damon to Boulder Coast.“I want to sit at the front,” he insisted

Alex lowered the binoculars that was given to her during preparation after thoroughly checking the crowd for any other suspicious persons that needs to be escorted out. So far, the team she had been assigned to had pointed out fifteen persons and more than half of them had been ushered out of the

Alex finally opened her eyes and stared at herself in the mirror, standing up.After taking off from the scene where she was ambushed by Saood’s men, she went to one place, which she only knows. A small house outside the city that she bought with cash from the money she had saved over her years of se

Zach finally took off his helmet when the last man on his team finally appeared at their meeting place, three hours from the time they started scouting Gallagher Enterprise’s building. He nodded when Gavin informed Buchanan over the radio that his team are all accounted for.“Let’s head back to base,
