Smoke Detector Blinking Red No Sound Novels & Stories

Redd. Avoided 14 missed call was good enough to tell him that I needed no disturbance. He sent along an alarm signal as well since the phone I was using was bugged by the secret house, so every call came with a signal. It was showing red this time around, which was a sign of emergency, but what emergency could there be?? I scowled, cursing under my breath as I looked at my phone, which was now blank. I had drifted into a deep sleep afterwards...

Crap, I should have listened to my mother. "Shit," I cursed aloud. I glanced around myself and noticed that the smoke was fading. Now that I actually took the time to listen to the real world, there was an annoying beeping and the sound of air being sucked into an air vent. Who puts a freaking smoke detector in a room with a fireplace? "Shit," I cursed in realisation. Unless it was the freaking proliferating smoke. I groaned and clenched my teeth. "What is wrong?" I closed the distance between Xerxes and I.

“What does flagged mean.” Victor didn’t sugarcoat it. “It means the system knows something’s wrong.” “That’s it?” “No,” he said quietly. “It means it’s deciding how to respond.” As if on cue a soft, mechanical sound echoed through the corridor outside. Not loud. Not urgent. But final. Click. Damian’s head snapped toward the door. The handle didn’t move. Didn’t need to. Victor checked the panel beside it. A small red indicator blinked once. Then stayed steady.

"Lazy girl. So I told you the other day that the red button is for when you're in danger while the green button is for when you urgently need your guards to do something for you. It has a tracker so you don't have to worry about how your guards would locate you. The last button is the black one. If you move it to the right side, it means you've activated the sound and if you move it to the left, you've deactivated the sound. It's always safer to deactivate the sound to prevent people around you from knowing you have anything with you. I've given the device to your guards so when you press the red button they will see a red light followed by an emergency sound.

It sounds like a scraping sound against my door. I open the door to see what the made the sound. There is nothing in the hallway. I step into the hallway to see if I have a better view when not peeking around a corner. At the far end for the hallway, I notice a little red blinking light on the ground. I slowly make my way towards the little light.

Just the soft hush of sleeping wolves recovering from a night of frenzy. I step into the monitor room and flick on the lights. The screens buzz to life, glowing with the grainy black-and-white images of the grounds. I scan each feed carefully. Every Omega is asleep, curled into nests or sprawled in tangled sheets. No Betas. No Gammas. Nothing moving. The grounds are still. And yet one of the warning lights is blinking. I lean in, narrowing my eyes as I try to pinpoint the movement it’s flagged. Nothing looks off. No shadows. No sound. Just the red flash at the corner of the screen, pulsing steadily like a heartbeat.

But the security camera in the corner blinks red once. Neither of them notices. And even if they did They wouldn’t care. Not tonight.

The kitchen smelled of burnt sugar and frustration. Elion stood by the open oven door, waving a towel at the smoke detector, which was chirping a rhythmic, piercing warning. "Disable it," Cale said from the doorway. He was leaning on his cane—he didn't need it as much anymore, but he liked the weight of it in his hand. "The sensor is sensitive to particulate matter. It is a false positive." "It's not a false positive, Cale," Elion coughed. "I burned the cake. It's a positive positive."

Kitchen. Bathroom. Nothing. She let out a slow breath. Then froze. A tiny red light blinked beneath the bookshelf. Once. Twice. Three times. She stepped closer. Hidden behind a stack of books was a device no larger than a matchbox. She didn't touch it. Instead, she slowly backed away and reached for her phone. Before she could dial Damien's number... The device emitted a soft beep. Then the red light went dark. Someone had just stopped listening. Which meant someone had been listening all along.

Using this confusion to my advantage, I moved around quickly, rendering them unconscious with my swift moves. ‘Beep! Beep! The shrill sound was followed by a high-pitched ring, and the glass doors slid shut. F***! How did the alarms get activated? I had made sure that none of them could press any button. The beeping red light caught my attention. The voice sensors must have gotten activated when they shouted in fear. My gaze drifted from the locked door to the screens. It would probably take the guards a couple of minutes to reach here. I had to look through as much footage as possible before they arrived.
