Us Against the World : Part 3

Axel took a deep breath as he crawled inside the ventilation. He carefully followed Adreanna's movement in front of him. The air was so tight inside, but they needed to kill the mayor.

She needed to kill the mayor. Axel was just tagging along.

Axel was using the same cloak as her. The difference was that Adreanna wore a porcelain mask, and Axel did not wear anything to cover his face. He didn't have his mask with him, and Adreanna only used her usual mask. Besides, there was no use for him to hide anymore. He just covered his red eye with his usual eyepatch.

He glanced through the slats below him as he passed it. He could see the people inside the room chatting with each other. Some were buried in their own works like their lives depended on it.

Axel silently hoped they wouldn't get caught in a crossfire.

He almost bumped into Adreanna's back when she suddenly stopped crawling. Axel stopped at the right moment as he waited for something to happen or some explanation from her.
