Hide And Seek

You had no idea.

It was a mistake.

For you to ever trust me.

Now, I’ll get the last laugh.

Ha-ha.


A cold icy smile and that was all that was left for the unmoving body, now just another corpse lying uselessly in the way.

Footsteps could be heard and a swift turn of the head, pointing the weapon into the direction of where the sound had come from.

“Are we still playing?”

A shadow could be seen. But no one could escape a hunter’s sight so easily. Another chuckle as the trigger was pulled.

Direct shot.

“Tell me when the game’s over,” she said with a smile, staring directly at the security camera.



“A lethal opponent,” said Mardoe, watching through the surveillance room, and trying to see past the blood that had splattered onto one of the main cameras. He ran a tongue over his lips, craving a cigarette, but resisting the urge.

No more smoking for me.

“You think she’s here for the data or just revenge?” Ryler looked at Mardoe with uncertainty and all seriousness. He leaned back into his chair, tilting his head, his face too neutral to see any emotion he could be feeling.

“Maybe both.” Mardoe loosened his tie as he kept his eyes on the one monitor that displayed the intruder. Only a dark silhouette of a woman’s figure could be seen.

She was heading closer to the camera. Her eyes were covered by some sort of contraption and an arm was reaching closer and closer and then-

“Damn it!” Ryler was on it as soon as realized what the intruder had done. He kept head up, turning from monitor to monitor as his fingers jumped on the keyboards and controls, typing in passwords and codes to try to revive the cameras and close doors. He slammed his fist down on the red button with the glass casing and an alarm sounded all throughout the facility.



“How about a new game,” she smiled, “Hide and go seek tag.”

She dropped the camera that she’d torn off of the corner of the ceiling and watched as the hallways suddenly turned dark and a red emergency light flashing to replace the white florescent lights. A loud, obnoxious alarm was also activated and doors slid shut and locked.

“You’re it,” she chuckled.

She looked up and just as planned, she had been standing right under a vent. “Come and find me if you can.”

The whole map of the building she’d memorized. Above her, there should be another floor for lab experiments and such. But that wasn’t where she wanted to go.

She jumped up, clutching onto the cover of the vent until it budged open and she threw it carelessly on the floor making a loud, cluttering sound through the noise of the alarm.

“Lillith, can you hear me?” The voice came from the earphone she wore.

“That’s weird. I thought I broke this on my way in here,” she replied to the voice through the mike, bringing it closer to her mouth and then placing it just on her collar for a better transmission.

“You’re too careless. Do you want to get caught or what?” The voice held no tone of worry, only determination.

“You think I’d let that happen?” She snorted into the mike. “I don’t think so, Hex.”

“Just hurry it up. They’ve already set off the alarm as you can probably already tell. Your first objective is done. You already made it underground into their labs. The next objective is to turn the alarm system off. It’ll make security think that the alarm was a false and that’ll give you more time.”

“I doubt that they’re that dumb, but I’ll do it.”

Lillith crawled through the vents. It was cold, but she wore a black elastic suit. It was fitting and it enhanced fast mobility and flexibility.
