The Struggles of Beauty And Her Beast

I watched quietly as Michael opened a tunnel and disappeared into it. Then I followed him. Just when I was about to get close to the tunnel, someone caught up with me.

“What are you doing here?” He asked. He was definitely one of the guards guiding Honourable Balogun’s resident. And I was about being the reason Michael would be the one receiving a surprise instead of the Honourable if I fail to cook up a reasonable lie. I opened my mouth to speak, but ended up batting my eyes consistently instead. He looked me up and down, the gun in his hand was enough to scare the living hell out of me. He looked like he had not smiled for years, and the way squinted his eyes while looking at me suggested he already suspected me for something criminal.
