A pair of high heels, they have been custom-built with a retractable blade for a heel, the weapon perfectly seamless and fashionable.

One might even say classy. After all, doesn't every woman deserve a pair ofkillerheels?

Placing the first pair aside, I examine the next one—the upgraded version.

At first glance it looks about the same.

I frown, taking the heel apart and examining the little device.

Luckily I point the tip away from my face because when I touch a spot on the inside of the weapon's body, a small but focused beam erupts from the tip. It hits the curtain, blasting through it just as the smell of burnt material permeates the air.

"I'll be damned," I mutter to myself, taking my finger off that little spot and examining it closer.

It's a laser. A freaking laser.

There is a mark on the inside of it that indicates it's the trigger—but it's purely touch based.

I spend a few more minutes studying it, unable to believe Alonso had managed to add a freaking laser to the shoes.

Knowing that time is of essence, I decide to study them further later. I put on one pair, packing up the other before I sneak a peek at the box with weapons.

Starter pack, huh?

Five 9mm guns, five military knives, two bulletproof vests, two silencers to go with the pistols and five grenades.

Not bad.

The porno continues to make quite the noise in the background while I pack everything up. Yet before I'm ready to brave the outside, I release my hair from its braid, making it look a little messy just as I rub some of the red lipstick from my lips on my cheeks to give them more flushed appearance.

Done, I simply stop the phone and wait five minutes before I take the box and leave, closing the door behind me.

As expected, there are at least five security guards that greet me as I head to my car, all looking at me suspiciously.

By my calculations, it shouldn't take long before they figure out Alonso did not die of pleasure, but is quite literally dead.

Quickly getting in my car, I push the box on to the passenger seat before I put the car in reverse, driving towards the gate.

One eye ahead and one eye on the mirror, I spot three guards running after me, a few more following behind as they all remove their weapons and start shooting.

Shiiiit!

Driving at full speed towards the gate, I only stop for a moment when I reach the security stop. The man seems to have been made aware of me, but he doesn't get to do anything before I aim the laser at him, making quite the hole in his skull.

"Nice," I mumble in awe, while also resuming my focus on my escape.

Reaching the end of the gate, I plug in the code I memorized when I first got here, watching the gate open just as more security hurries after me.

I press hard on the gas pedal, practically flying on to the street and speeding away until I reach the highway—until every last one of Alonso's men is just a dot on the horizon.

THIRTY-TWO

NOELLE

It's wellafter dawn that I enter the city again. Sneaking a glance at my phone, I note that the battery is dead.

Damn it!

Raf will no doubt text me when he wakes up, and he might worry if I don't answer right away. At the same time, it's still very early and he will likely expect me to be sleeping. After all, we're only supposed to meet later in the afternoon when he gets officially discharged.
