?Allison’s POV?
.
My body froze subconsciously and I could feel the fear spreading fast in my organs. In one swift move, I hung the portrait back in it’s former position, hearing the lock being fumbled with, I hurriedly climbed down from the chair and did the first thing that crossed my mind, I shifted far away from the door and quickly bent, raised my dress up and held both sides of my lace underwear, like I wanted to take it off. The door flung open In a swift move and I looked up, feigning shock. The able bodied guys; three in number all paused equally in surprise and I quickly drew my dress down and bashfully lowered my gaze.
“What was that about?” One of the guys asked and strangely, his voice sounded familiar. “And why did you lock the door?” He repeated, the coldness of his voice caused a slight shiver down my spine. Taking off his dark shades, I had a full view of his face. Those eyes that were somehow stored in my head, the eyes that held no emotion as he pulled the trigger on my parents..
“I..I thought I felt an insect in here,” I pointed towards my underwear “so, I locked the door to take it out, I was just about putting it back on and opening the door before you did” I said, trying to sound very convincing.
“An insect you say” he said, more like scoffed and I regretted looking up at his face, his dark eyes met mine and I couldn’t help clenching my fist as I didn’t tear my gaze from his, I couldn’t; it was as if I was murdering him through it.
He took a step towards me and I tried not to shake or feel intimated by his height.
Suddenly, he pulled out a silencer and the rest of them followed, I trembled and got alerted.
“P-please don’t shoot!” I said, raising both hand up in surrender.
“Search her!” He ordered and immediately, the other guys came to me and began searching. Fortunately, they didn’t touch my face nor take off my mask and they didn’t seem to have recognized me or suspected a thing. The search went on for minutes before they stepped back, shaking their heads negatively at the other guy.
“Yu can leave now, Roseanne. The CEO will be arriving early today, I sent you a text about it” he said.
“Oh.. I didn’t know” I said and grabbed the bucket. “I’ll head out now” I added and walked out of the office. Getting out, I released a long sigh, recalling that I had left the safe open..
What if they get it before I do?
I bit my lower lip and found my way to the ladies. A part of me wanted to walk away and forget about completing my mission, it was more like a loose end already but a greater part, disagreed as the image of my parents murderers flashed through my mind..
There’s no way I’m leaving here without that evidence, I must bring them down no matter what!..

?Jonas POV ?
.
Anthony tapped his nails on the wooden table and my gaze couldn’t help but dart constantly to the phone close to his hand, praying it would light up with a call.
The uneasiness rose up like a bile to my throat and I gulped it down but it was too heavy to completely dilute.
I felt scared and something else that I hadn’t felt in a long while after my mom died.
I felt a sort of empty space.
It’s been an hour already and still no call from Allison. I couldn’t help but think about the possiblity that she had been caught. For someone who knows Gavin, I couldn’t help the fear.
What if she had been apprehended or if she’s in danger? If she was out she would have at least left a call or a text. Anything at all to know she was fine!
“What’s happening?” I asked Anthony, impatiently for the second time.
“I-I don’t know” he stammered.
“What do you mean you don’t know, you said she’d call!”
“Yes, she will if she gets out or needs assistance-
“Well, it’s over one hour already, how long can it take to open a safe and bring out some papers!” I asked.
“She’s probably trying to distract them”
“Distract them, for the past one hour?!”
“Can you just calm down?” Anthony fired.
“You sent a teenage girl to a place that could kill her and it’s been over an hour, yet no sign to know if she’s alive or not and you ask me to calm down?!” I rasped. “What if she’s in danger? Are we just going to stay here, calming down until forever?”
“Oh well, you sure do care about Allison more than I thought,” Anthony said, swivelling the chair to face me. “And if you’re that curious about her well-being right now, why don’t you just call Gavin and find out if he’s got her yet, Jonas McAllister?” He asked and I froze. Hotness rushing through my body as rage seeped in at the mention of that last name. Anthony smirked at me..
“How did you know that name?” I asked in anger.
“I just do and I know just enough about you, Jonas. I know you carry out Gavin’s dirty jobs too and that you’re no different from him!” He said and I gave him a blank tight look.. he took out a pistol that had a silencer and pointed it to me, deepening his smirk.

**Allison’s POV**
.
“You don’t have to worry, I’m fine. Please, inform Jonas too” I said. “I have to go now, Gavin should be around anytime soon, I have to finish up before he arrives” I added and hung the call.
I slipped the phone Into the bag and checked for the syringe and just as Anthony as assured, it was there. I balanced the bag well on my body and walked out of the restroom, I followed the exit and found my way in a brief narrow passageway. I used it to the stairs and climbed until I got to Gavin’s office floor. I observed it and Carefully, I walked to the door and found the guard standing close to it. He gave me a deep frown and I smiled.
“What do you want?” He asked harshly.
“Sorry but I think I left my cellphone in there, I can’t find it in my bag” I said with a placating look. He gave me an angry stare before opening the door and walking in, I followed him in, holding the syringe inside my bag.
“Where is it?” He asked, scanning around the room.
“Oh.. um..there it is!” I pointed to a direction and the moment he glanced towards it, I pulled the syringe out and dug the needle into his back.
He passed out the next moment and I quickly locked the door, climbed the chair, pulled the portrait down and took out the papers, all stacked in one file. I shut the safe and hung the portrait back on it’s spot, climbed down and walked to the guy, I injected him again with the antidote and without sparing another glance at the security guy, I unlocked the door and dashed out of it, I got into the elevator and it dropped me, I wasted no time in rushing out of the company.
