Mary may be able to materialize and move at speeds impossible for most eyes to detect.... but not tonight. On this long delayed mission her heart is heavy and her steps are slow. But her head is held high and she does not walk alone.
With her is a friend that she met since her return to Rhy?Din only a few days ago. But he wasn?t really just a friend was he? No, the connection between them was impossible to deny and was growing with every moment they spent together.
She tried not to look at him, though they walked arm in arm through the West End. She stared straight ahead at her goal. When it had first come into view she had almost lost her nerve. A very large office building that overshadowed all others for quite some distance. She forced herself to keep her eyes (currently an ice blue) focused on it steadily.
She would pause as they walked past the front gate for but a moment to ring the bell to a specific tune that would alert those still inside that she was coming. Step one complete. A deep breath was taken before she would lead Joshua to the warehouse next door. It appeared broken down and unoccupied but it was still sealed up tight as a tomb, exactly as she left it.
When they reached the front door they would come to a stop and she would finally turn to meet Joshua?s eyes. ?This is as far as you can come with me? Even once I get this door to open you cannot step inside until I have disabled the security system from within the office?.?
She hesitated; keeping up this facade of confidence was not as easy as it looked. She didn?t want to go in alone but that was the way it had to be. She reasserted her prior statement to make sure it was clear, ?Do not walk through that door no matter what. Right now, anyone steps over the threshold but me? will surely die.?
