Semua Bab Assassin Beauty: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Alex woke without the need of having an alarm.For several seconds, she remained perfectly still.The room was quiet, wrapped in the faint gray light of early morning. The curtains were only partially drawn and allowed the first rays of sunlight to filter through the narrow gap and fall across the floor.She stared at the ceiling before slowly turning her head.Damon was still asleep beside her.His face looked different when he slept.His guarded expression where he carried whenever they were working could not be seen. No sharp eyes constantly watching their surroundings. No faint crease between his brows as he calculated every possible outcome of a situation.He simply looked peaceful.Alex watched him quietly, her eyes travelling over his face before settling on his closed eyes.For a brief moment, she allowed herself to forget.Forget about Saood.Forget about Gallagher Enterprise.Forget about the files, the weapons, the surveillance, the men waiting for their orders and the care

The city was already awake when Alex made her first move.She sat inside the back of an unmarked vehicle that is parked two blocks away from Gallagher Enterprise, wearing a dark cap and her expression hidden behind a pair of sunglasses.The building stood ahead of her.Tall and imposing.Almost ordinary.That was what made places like Gallagher dangerous.From the outside, it looked like another corporate headquarters. Glass walls. Security personnel and employees entering through the revolving doors with coffee in their hands and phones pressed against their ears.But Alex knew better.She had spent the last several hours studying every inch of it.Every entrance.Every exit.Every camera.Every blind spot she can identify.Every security rotation.Every vehicle entering the underground parking area.She looked down at the tablet in her hands.A floor plan appeared on the screen."Elise." Her earpiece clicked."I'm here.""Give me the latest." Alex called."The network is behaving ex

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

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

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?""
