Chapter 80: Escaping
Chapter 80: EscapingTalia felt light-headed as she realised the trouble she is in. Rebecca didn’t even realise what happened just then and was surprised as there was commotion heard from downstairs.
Talia on the other hand rubbed her hands together and patted her cheeks to compose herself, like she was preparing for battle. She might be wrong about everything, but still she just wanted to be prepared.
She squatted down and pulled Rebecca down too and picked up her phone to check it once more. And as she expected,her phone still had no signal.
And that’s when she noticed another odd thing... Her Wi-Fi was turned on and it was connected to the shop’s free connection.
Talia could confirm her doubts now. She’d never use Wi-Fi connections, especially those public ones, ever!
’I’m not in control of my phone now. My phone’s being hacked! But how? Who’d do..? Never mind!’
Talia stopped herself from thinking useless stuff then and switched off her phone. But then she decided to leave it on so not to alert the hacker, to track the person who dared to hack her.
She didn’t know how much she was being hacked so she decided to be careful with what she says. She looked around and was glad to see she was actually in the perfect blind spot of the cameras inside the shop. If her phone is connected to the shop’s Wi-Fi, their cameras could be hacked too.
I’m not going to be sitting duck!
She removed the grey coat she wore putting her phone in the pocket and placed it safely under the rack, in between two big Teddy bears.
Talia looked around to
If they were following her using her appearance, they wouldn’t be able to find her. Everyone in her floor were running down. So they would be checking the camera downstairs and would have lost her.
If they could follow her upstairs through the camera and inform the assassin, it should be someone who knows her face.
Who might that be?
She knew if Rebecca stuck together with her, she’d be in danger too. She’d be safe inside this reinforced store. She needs to find some other safe place.
"Talia...."
Rebecca didn’t expect Talia would push her inside and she tried to get out. Her face was pale and she tried to get Talia inside.
"For your child...."
Talia reminded her freezing Rebecca in the place. The thick metal door rolled down slowly and Talia ran towards the stairs once more as she could see the guy taking aim once again.
"Tallie... Take this...."
Rebecca’s voice came from behind her and she saw the firearm Rebecca carries sliding through the floor towards her.
