Chapter 212 Preparations (1/2)

The scream was quite loud and echoed through the entire corridor. The bodyguards stationed outside Richard's room smashed their way in quickly, guns out.

[He really sounds like a pig squeeling] Kyle said as he was laughing. He doubted Richard would be looking into his room right now - but even if he was, so what? It really was funny.

Kay smiled at that then asked, [Your last shoot is next week. So when is the hit?]

[When the shooting is done but before we leave] Kyle told her.

[Why? I thought you wanted to do it after you guys left the area?]

[Yes, I did at first. However, upon thinking about it, I feel this is the best way. What better way to hide than in plain sight, right?]

[Meaning?] Kay asked.

[This is the first time outsiders were allowed into Mansion BMX. If something happened to Richard after we left, the police will naturally think that someone in the crew was responsible.]

[You have a point. But how is that any different if you do it when you're still around? Worse, wouldn't you be the prime suspect since you're the only one in the mansion? Maybe they would never consider that you were the actual assassin, but perhaps, an accomplice?] Kay continued asking.

[Yes, of course and I would have the perfect alibi for them. First, the movie crew members would be safe from any suspicion. Since my little stunt, I'm sure Richard will see the boogeyman everywhere and will increase security. I doubt any movie crew member would be able to get out of their little area. The police will question us, then finding nothing, we'll be released and never called back]

[Makes sense] Kay agreed, still worried.

[And with your hacking skills, you'll cover my back seamlessly, right?]

[Of course!] Kay huffed.

[So why should I be worried?]

Kay bit her bottom lip. She knew he made sense, but sometimes, the heart would still worry no matter what.

[Just be careful] she said softly.

[Always] Kyle replied looking at the camera that connected them, giving a smile. He began going through the plan in his mind then, visualising it and thinking of the possible dangers - for the umpteenth time.

Timing would be very important.

Like Kyle predicted, ever since Richard found the card, he increased the security. He had more people come in, and at first, he had wanted to kick out the movie crew from his compound. However, Samantha had been angry when she found out. She argued with her father about it, saying that there was only one week left. It was Kyle's scene. She pointed out how Greene never backed down nor broke a promise.

That made Richard grit his teeth and knew she had a point. If he did kick them out, all the months of enduring the card scares would have been for nought. People would know that he had been scared. So he had to endure it.

Since he couldn't kick the movie crew out, he had more people patrolling the area and a special one around the movie team area. They had a curfew, and no one could go in or out. Anyone who dared go out of the cordoned area would have two people following them everywhere.

When Kyle heard that, he started packing his clothes.

Samantha walked in as he was doing so, and she didn't look happy.

”What are you doing??” she said angrily, pouting as she hugged him from behind.

Kyle placed his hands over hers, caressing them a bit then continued packing as he patiently explained, ”I need to stay with the crew members.”

”NO!” she said again, hugging him tighter, ”I won't be able to see you then. It's hard enough already when you're here with Dad's eagle eyes and all ... but at least you are here. If you go, I'll just ...”

Kyle turned, caressing her cheek and gave her several light kisses on the face, ”You know it'll have to happen anyway. Once the shooting ends, we'll be apart even longer.”

”I know THAT,” she huffed, ”I want to spend time with you as much as I can before that. Stay here, please?”

Kyle shook his head, ”I can't. Your Dad has gone insanely paranoid for some reason. It's best for both of us for me to stay back with the rest.”

”I hate this,” Samantha said softly, her mouth quivering.

Kyle put his forehead on hers, then kissed her. Softly at first, but it soon got heated. Samantha wrapped her hands around his neck, pressing her body closer to hers and Kyle's own hands were roaming her back.

Just as they landed on her nice, round behind, a loud cough was heard.

They quickly sprang apart.
