52 Misdeeds (1/2)

It wasn't long before Arius found what he was looking for, and Zuna almost lost it when she saw him stand on his toes to reach a painting. ”Are you an idiot?”

”No, I just appreciate fine art.” He frowned.

”Whatever, just hurry up.” Zuna rolled her eyes.

As soon as Arius got the painting down, him and Zuna ran out. It was the dinning hall, and so he knew which way the exit was.

Maybe it was the adrenaline rush from having just jumped the fence, or perhaps the police sirens that made them hurry to get into the car with the others.

Arius got into the drivers seat, and the other people in the car, were Dante, Asrael, Zuna, and Delorah. Before Arius and Zuna hoped in, Asrael had situated himself in the passenger seat, and Dante was with Delorah in the back.

”So, where is our first stop?” Arius said as they got further away from the mansion. It was early morning.

”We can go home after we drop Delorah off at head-quarters.” Asrael glanced at the painting, making no comments on it.

”But I'm tired! Can't we just take her with us? There is an extra room in the house...” Arius frowned, he hadn't slept at all throughout the night!

”We are going back to piper street.” Asrael said with finality.

”Fine.” Arius sighed. ”Hey, when did Rana's group even have time to dispose of the guards?”

”Before we were taken into those cells, I assume.”

”Then wouldn't Alfred notice that his guards weren't around? And, where were all the bodies?”

”Rana probably put a few fake guards up, and for your information... my people are top tier when it comes to hiding bodies.” Asrael praised Rana, but he very rarely said anything good about the others. It was always an odd thing, since Rana didn't experience any other form of favoritism.
