Jump

VALENTINA RODRIGUEZ POV

I storm out from his room and stride towards the balcony.

What do you expect from a hidden killer?

Jump from this balcony onto the ground beneath?

Yeah, call me crazy, but I never fractured my bones after a lot of training and experience.

I’m not jumping right away. Usually, I back away a few meters from the rail before running towards it, putting my right foot on the holders, jump and do a few backflips.

I look at the grounds searching for guards. I can see one at the far corner on my left, and another one is facing his back to me. Check!

Security camera? One on my left, check!

What? That was easy for me. Even if it moves around a lot, I can still escape it.

Okay. So, here we go!

One... Two... Jump!

Thud!

And there. I landed on the ground smoothly.

I run towards the nearby tree. Shielding myself from the guards and the security camera. I keep running and hiding until I reach the tree near my car.

Thanks to Louis. He parked my car near in line with a tree.

Still ducking, I grab one small stone and throw it at the guard who is guarding the left corner. I beamed when it actually hit his head.

“What the fuck?! ” He yelled.

Oops! His head is bleeding.

The guards on the front door run towards him, and I run to my car. I wink to the guard on the gate-Louis-as I open the driver’s door and slide in.

I close the door and start the engine before I drive through the gates. Louis had open the gate for me. Why did I not walk away using the main entrance? Knowing Keith, he presumably wants to punish me and ask the guard to stop me.

Right when I press on the pedal, the guards notice me and start firing and running towards me.

Passing the gates, I take a right turn. I notice two cars coming from the left road. Dang! I speed up the accelerator towards the city.

Not his home, of course. Not my family either. But, my own mansion. No one knows. Except me.

Telling Kayden about this mansion was like digging my own grave. He will ask where I get the money and etc. The same goes for my family and friends.

Being a hidden killer is worth it.

Was it?

I glance through my sideways mirror and notice two cars following me. The problem is there are five cars behind me.

How do I know?

They seem to get a lot of car honks for trying to cut the other line.

Too obvious.

Did Keith even know how to keep a secret? If the other gang saw me getting chased by Keith’s gang member, I’ll be dead for sure.

I smirk as the cars come to a halt at the red light reaching the roundabout.

Am I crazy?

You say it yourself.

‘Ah! I said it myself.’

I am at the front row. Roaring my car engines and speed up straight towards the road in front of me.

I know, I know.

There’s a car coming from my left and right. But did I say I halted when the red light appeared into my view?

Nope.

The car at the left and right honks at me. But I ignore them as drive-through towards the road in front of me. Innocently.

Then, the cars on my left and right proceed their drives after I passed them. Covering me from the car that was following me.

I smirk. I glance beside me and frown.

My phone is resting comfortably on the passenger seat. I remember that they can track my phone, both of the phones.

I quickly reach for my phones and turn off the tracker on it. Thank God, I left my phone in the car yesterday. I thought sarcastically.

I look back onto the road and accidentally glance at the car screen, warning me that I am being tracked. I press on the small button beside the screen, and the tracking stopped as I smirk.

I glance at my car’s clock, and it shows 5:47 p.m.

Now, I already reach another city where my mansion had been built. But, it was hidden in the woods. Away from the noise of the busy city. Hah!

Forgot to mention that my car’s plate number had been changed by another plate number just now. I must do that considering there is a CCTV on the side of the road.

Let’s call it technology. My car was provided with a unique technique. Pressing the button on the headboards to change my plate number when necessary.

Other than shooting and bombing, the speed was also upgraded. Kayden never knows of that, though. We always go out using his car. Except when we go to work.

I came to a halt in front of my two stories mansion. I didn’t want to brag about how large it was. I can’t tell where the edge is because I can’t see it.

The gate was not that high. The tricky part is I request it to be electrocuted. It actually looks pretty harmless.

One-touch, and you’ll feel weak for a week or so. I need no guard. The Surveillance cameras enough adding with a few robots working in and outside the house.

I also made sure that the robot was upgraded. So, it can tell me everything I wanted to know.
