Hayden was holding a sleeping baby when he got a text. He glanced down at it and his eye brows rose up in surprise. "Let's see what she does." He said to Lily as he swayed and walked around the apartment. This kid could sleep through everything.
He watched as Kenzie shot through the room. Avoiding all but his watchful eyes -- he knew she was on her way up. Sky's message had been clear.
She darted down the hall and punched the code and Hayden just watched. There were no cameras in the bedrooms. And there was no wifi in Nox's room except that which you took with you -- your wallet, so Sky wasn't going to be helpful.
Kenzie was in there a while but then she ran out and down stairs. Hayden went to Nox's room and saw the safe door still wide open and completely empty. Nox had not taken his gun or knife with him and they were only still in the house because he hadn't taken them back to the safety of the store house because he just hadn't had time. Nox was a walking weapon he didn't need either for safety. But what was worse was there was Atharim data in there and the drugs, and a bottle of good vodka all for Oriena.
Hayden sighed and went down stairs where he knew Tatyana was holed up. Ashton was sitting outside. "What's wrong?" He asked.
Hayden shook his head "Nothing. Not yet anyway." Hayden knocked on the door.
