The “doctor” shoots and kills Carlos’ man before he can react and blows him a kiss. Then the winks at me
We never met until now, but I have spoken with her over the phone a lot. Beetle. One bad as s bi tch. Her words, not mine.
“Come on, chick, time to get out of here,” Beetle says as she takes out a cotton dress from the briefcase and helps me put it on.
Carlos gave me no clothes, saying I wouldn’t need them since my only purpose is serving the Dukes.
“There are too many Dukes around here during the day and...I am afraid I am only going to slow you down”
“Not today,” Beetle tells me. “The Lords have demanded a truce for today, and they are holding a meeting with the Dukes on
neutral grounds right now.
“But surely there are still guards, I say, not wanting anything to happen to her b

“I either get you out of here, or I will burn the building down!” A loud explosion coming from a distant part of the Celestial Heaven
almost throws me off of the bed. “This is our signal that we have to get out now,”

Screams of frightened women come from the floor above us. My room i the Dukes.

Beetle helps me get out of bed, and before we leave the room, she takes on access card from the pocket of the dead man,
Walking is very painful, but knowing that soon everything will be over fuels me, and adrenaline rushes into my bloodstream.

her to take a 9-5 office job, which she hates since she is an action girl. And she knows how to pilot a helicopter.
“But we will expose ourselves too much,” I try to make her see reason.

When we reach the Boor where the s ex sl av es are kept, Beetle yells, “If myone w wants to escape, now is the time, as the
explosion won’t keep the guards distracted for long”
We keep going up the stairs until we reach the door that leads to the rooftop. The door requires a pass or an access card to

Four months later
A new victim of the most feared serial killer in the last ten years, the But cher, was discovered yesterday in his bar in New York.
The victing, schase identity hasn’t been made known, ti messing his ride land, eyes, and depot. Sources say the man had been
