Murder Drones Episode 9 Novels & Stories

Selene scrambled behind a steel crate, tapping into the drone network. “I can jam their signal, but we’ve got thirty seconds max!” Alma pulled a micro EMP disc from her belt and flung it at the ceiling. The explosion was blinding. And then silence. The drones collapsed. So did Valeria. Alma walked to her fallen sister’s side. “You’re not him. You can still walk away.” Valeria stared at her, dazed. “I don’t want to walk away,” she whispered. “I want to finish what he started.”

Deep inside the building— Hidden compartments opened. Small black drones lifted into the air. Silent. Fast. Daniel watched the security feed. “…okay that’s cool.” The blast barrier finally collapsed. The assassins stepped through. And immediately— Three drones shot down the hallway toward them. The first assassin raised his rifle— But the drones were faster. Electric pulses fired. The men dropped instantly. Unconscious. The hallway went quiet. Inside the penthouse Daniel slowly lowered the chair. “…I officially love this building.” Sebastian and Marcus arrived seconds later.

he muffles and another gasps escapes from their mouths followed by low sobs. "No, my... brother...can't be dead" Julia sobs. "Tell us this is some prank and...." "My son isn't dead. He's alright and he'll come walking through that door very soon, you'll see" Kylie's mom cut Kylie mid-sentence. It was too painful to believe her son was dead. "Drake was murdered last night at Anna's apartment and Anna has gone missing and....." Jay's words went hanging as he saw Drake's mom collapsed on the chair. "Mom, mom" Kylie and Julia cries in panic shaking their mom's unconscious body. Jay stood up and picked up her hand.

That was bait. Once Ricco unlocked the “grid,” it unlocked him. I knew where he was the second he popped his transmitter. The flood system? That was just theatre. I didn’t need to drown him. I needed him wet, panicked, climbing a ladder with false hope— Only to meet my drone. The drone didn’t kill him. It looked him in the eye. And then broadcast his location. Because death doesn’t humiliate. Exposure does. LORENZO. BLACK CLAW. SOUTH.

I needed to slow this down because mother hood was something I wanted to wait for. "We got mated so quickly, and I'm still trying to figure out my abilities and-" I was interrupted by a knock at the door. It was Iris and he looked panicked. "What the hell Iris?! Someone better be fucking dying!" Holden yelled and slammed his hand hard on his desk causing me to jump. "Alpha, we have a problem. There has been drones sighted 30 clicks west of the house." Iris said. Drones? Should I tell him about the one by the lake today? Did it even matter if I said anything?

’ ‘So you are saying,’ started the sub-inspector disbelievingly, ‘Mr Dhruv went out from that door, ran all the way around the house to Esha’s room and murdered her?’ ‘I am not saying anything, Navpreet. And the kind of influence Mr Dhruv has, he wouldn’t involve himself in a murder. He would rather hire someone to do that for him.’ ‘You are confusing me, sir,’ said the sub-inspector irritably. ‘Many cases have been closed with lesser evidence than what we have here.’ ‘Wrongly closed,’ added the inspector seriously. ‘Fine, give me one logical explanation how that sweater went to Anubhav’s room.’

I just looked at the man who had siphoned my life to build a city of glass, and I raised the key. The drones screeched, their sensors locking onto my Mercury Lines. Kael didn't look back at them; he only looked at me, his fingers inches from my shoulder. "Run," he whispered, but his eyes were pleading for me to stay. I stepped back into the shadow of the server pillar. "You're too late, Kael. You already deleted me." The first drone cleared the doorway, its red laser-grid sweeping the room, stopping directly on the center of Kael's chest before shifting to mine.

"I heard your conversation. About Cecilia, about the price I had to pay, about all of it." Adrin began to tremble. "Tell me the truth, Adrin," I said, sitting up, the power of my own bloodline radiating from me. "Tell me exactly how Marcus killed Rylan." "Luna, please, don't—" "Tell me!" Adrin collapsed to his knees, utterly broken. "It… it was wolfsbane," he choked out. "A slow-acting dose, mixed into Rylan's milk every day. Little by little… by little…"

The strip of shirt fabric wrapped around the wolf's foreleg had come loose, its frayed edge dragging in the dirt. Dorin's drones all descended to the ground. Their rotors spun to a halt one by one. Twelve drones lined up in a silent row across the flagstones outside the hall, their undercarriage indicator lights dying in perfect unison. He offered the submission of his machines in place of his own kneeling. Silas did not kneel.

"Drake told me what happened. We came as soon as we heard. I'm so sorry for your loss. What can we do?" "Well, needless to say, we closed down the main lobby and casino for the day and the crime scene has remained untouched," Kellen said. "We were hoping you might share some insight as to the crime. We also wish to discuss other crimes in the area." Xander nodded. "Yes, of course." Then he turned to me. "This is Kalyssa Carran, our new Mate." My head snapped up, but I said nothing. "She's a veterinarian and her clinic just burned down," Xander replied. "And it was clearly arson. I suspect the crimes may be related."
