Page 22 of My Perfect One
The tension in the cars is high and I wish there was a way to help relieve some of it. I know we’re all thinking about the last time we raided a facility like this. The only difference is this time we have more information than before. So this time we’re more ready for these assholes.
We meet up at the farmhouse first, Adonis, Valentino, Romano and Celestino will be taking over. The rest of us are raiding the facility. There are 3 ways in and out. So we’re splitting into three teams. The only thing we don’t know is if there are other shifters in the facility.
“We haven’t seen anyone but Matilda and Paul in the house.” Keegan says to us.
I hand him and Gervasio a sandwich. They thank me and start eating.
“You realize he had those sandwiches in his pocket, right?” Eros says to them.
They both look at the semi squished sandwiches and shrug.
“They were wrapped up and in a sealed bag. I think they’re safe.” Gervasio says as he continues to eat.
“I’ve eaten worse things.” Keegan chuckles.
“See? I told you everyone loves pocket sandwiches.” I smile.
We stay there for a few more minutes so that we can make sure they know what we’ll be doing. Then the rest of us head tothe facility. When we get there, it’s smaller than the one back in Chicago. Which is a good thing because we don’t really have a good visual for it. With the other facility, Sakura, Haruki and their parent were able to map out most of the facility. This time we only knew one area and that makes it harder for us to get in there. And instead of going in there to rescue people, we’re going in there to get information on what experiments they were doing. I wish we were going in there to rescue Seraphina’s family.
“Okay, you all know the plan. Don’t take chances if you see people in there, we need to make sure who they are before you shoot.” Baba says.
We all nod as we listen to him. Finally Adonis lets us know that Matilda and Paul are leaving the farmhouse. Romano is staying behind to keep an eye on the house, while the others follow them.
Ten minutes later, we see a car pull up to the gates and head inside. There’s no one in the guard booth, so the gate must be coded. We’ve already set it up so the camera’s that are there will be running on a loop. That will give us enough time to take out the security and get inside.
I go over to Seraphina and hold her.
“Please be careful, we don’t know what weapons they have.” I say softly to her.
“You need to be careful too.”
I lean down and kiss her.
Seraphina
No matter how nervous I am, I’m also ready for this chapter in our lives to be over. To be able to see who took us and killed half my family is closure I wasn’t sure I was going to get.
I go over to Apollo and he holds me for a few minutes. I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to him. We watch the four guards that are there as we wait for Francesco to let us know the feed is looping.
“Okay, Franco said we’re good to go. We have an hour to get in and out of there. Coms only from now on.” Giacomo tells us.
“I love you.” Apollo says as he gives me another kiss.
“I love you.” I say as we head to our groups and head inside.
I look back at him one last time, he’s in Olivers group. While I understand why, I still don’t like that we can’t be in the same group.
My group is headed to the area that we’re taken to for milking. Oliver’s group will be going towards the apartment we were kept in. And Archer’s group is headed to the area that we’ve never seen. But it looks like two apartments. The blueprints showed there were four apartments, two on each side of the building. We never saw the door to another apartment on our side, but it was there in the blueprints.
All four of the guards were taken down and we all head inside. As we get closer to the milking rooms, we can hear voices.
“Why isn’t the venom killing the mice?” one of the people yells.
I look at Ares and he whispers. “That’s Matilda.”
We can hear her yelling more.
“Maybe we should have you test it out. Because obviously you’re an idiot and you’re doing something wrong.”
