The house of madness

Chapter seven: a familiar face.

And so the team headed to cliffside city. Autumn’s house was at the edge of the tiny empty city. They had intel that Autumn and her husband were not home so they could easily apprehend the targets. Camille flew above and watched the ground below to make sure no one ran off. Hailey and Brutus headedaround the back of the house in case the targets tried to escape. Although Hailey had never been on a mission she knew what do do. Hailey had been given a large metal bat for a weapon.

Marvelo went to the front door. He pulled out two pistols and fired them at the door until it fell inward. “Come out!” Marvelo shouted. Willow entered the house through a side wall, holding a dagger. She phased through the wall. The targets sat at a table in the dining room. “Don’t move! Put your hands up!” Willow shouted. The man and woman exchanged looks and slowly raised their hands. “Marvelo.” The man growled. Marvelo gave a half grin. “That’s right. You’ve been caught so no tricks.” Marvelo said. The woman laughed. Then they both faded away as if they were an illusion. “Arghh! They used an illusion! Search the perimeter!” Marvelo bellowed.

Hailey and Brutus stood guarding the back door when suddenly it opened and the targets were about to exit. “Don’t move!” Brutus barked. He growled at them and bared his teeth. Hailey raised her bat. For some reason the man looked vaguely familiar to Hailey but she dismissed it. She didn’t know him. “Don’t move Sylvia.” The man told the woman. The woman rolled her eyes at him. “Jay, I know PERFECTLY well NOT to move.” Sylvia whispered. Suddenly the man, Jay as Sylvia called him, looked at Hailey and froze. He looked shocked. “Josephina?” Jay asked looking deep into Hailey’s hazel eyes. Hailey raised her eyebrows. “I’m sorry I have no idea who you are.” She said cheerfully.

Ahh…cliffhangers! Enjoy it! LOL jk.
