The Escape Baldacci 소설 & 이야기

She closed her eyes for a few minutes and maybe as a reward for the work she had done the days before sleep came to her with ease. Emma woke up with a jolt when the ringtone of her phone blared out into the quiet atmosphere. She picked up the phone and pressed the green call icon and the loudspeaker option. Lincoln’s voice filled the room a second later, “Alpha Emma, there’s a problem.” Emma sat up and kicked the covers off her body “Well what is it?” she asked just as worried as she felt by Lincoln’s voice. “Alan Baker has escaped.”

The news hit the Bright residence like a thunderclap in the middle of a clear night. Cecilia stood frozen in the living room, her tablet screen glowing with the breaking headline that had just shattered their fragile peace: HIGH-PROFILE PRISONER ISABEL CHEN-BLACKWOOD ESCAPES METROPOLITAN FACILITY. WARDEN SUSPECTED ACCOMPLICE. MANHUNT UNDERWAY. Her hands trembled so violently she nearly dropped the device. The room, moments ago filled with the soft sounds of Hope’s laughter as Ethan read her a bedtime story, now felt suffocatingly silent.

If one’s core were to be destroyed, all the training for the past ten years would be for naught. To him, it was utterly unacceptable. Just then, Baldy turned around immediately and dashed towards the exit. He knew that he would be able to escape once he got out of the gates. He didn’t think that Waltz would be able to catch up to him. “Oh? It’s too late to escape now, my friend,” Alex said calmly. He reached out an arm and clenched his fists tightly as if capturing something midair. With the flick of a finger, a flow of electrifying Chi pointed toward Badly, striking him on the back like lightning.

Matthew hastily packed their belongings, but their escape was short-lived, as assassins closed in on their home. In a heart-wrenching decision, Darla bid farewell to her mother, fleeing through the back door to meet a mysterious ally, Mr. Leo, who would escort her to safety on the other side of the world. As she raced against time, Darla heard a gunshot pierce the air, leaving her to fear the worst for her mother and fueling her growing hatred for Daniel.

How could he escape a well-secured prison for damn sake? Where were the cops, the people guarding the place? What were they doing when all of this was going on? I wanted to lash out at him but refrained myself. “Can you hear me, Mr Baldwin?” He called out. I let out a loud sigh, breathing in and out to calm myself. “Yes, I can hear you,” “We had no idea this would happen, everything was going well the whole night, and then all of a sudden the alarm went off but before we could do anything he had already escaped,” he explained.

Sadie opens her mouth to speak but a shrill, violent alarm cuts through the building. We all freeze. One witch gasps. “What is that? Another hybrid attack?” Alec’s jaw tightens. “No. That alarm means a prisoner has escaped.” We don’t waste time as we leave the room; all the while I’m wondering who could have escaped. Outside the meeting room, two warriors are already running toward Alec. “Alpha,” they bow, their voices strained. “Who is it?” Alec asked, through clenched teeth. It’s like we can’t get a fucking break. It’s been one storm after another.

His mind was still reeling from his earlier thoughts of Bella and Aaron when his phone rang, shattering the silence. He answered, and Mark's urgent voice came through the line. "Evan, I've got some bad news. Adrian has escaped from jail." Evan's heart skipped a beat. "What? How did that happen?" ********************************************

“They used me to do their dirty work, okay? Murder, extortion, anything you can think of. It was awful not having a free will.” “Now you know how it feels.” “Yeah, whatever.” He collapsed on one of the wooden chairs in the room. “At the first chance I got, I ran to Arth. It’s funny I still got access to that place. It did not take long to find out why because your uncle made an escape two nights ago.” “Wait, what?” “I know. Wondrous, isn’t it?” “I can’t believe you find all these exciting, Lucas. We are in trouble, do you understand? If Uncle Al escaped, he is coming here.”
