Fallen Into Hell: Fallen: Book 2, Layna Snow [the mitten read aloud .TXT] 📗

she wasn’t going to tell him that she hadn’t had an orgasm. However, she was sure that given the opportunity, he could give her some. Too bad she didn’t have the time. He was a cool kid, and maybe she’d see him some other time.

Probably not, but maybe! “Sorry, doll. I have to get back.”

Back to what? She didn’t tell him. She had no plans to involve him anymore. It was great while it lasted but he wasn’t going to provide anymore cover for her, not now that he was sated. It was probably a good thing that it ended when it did, because just as she stepped away from him, there was a click in her ear, signalling the opening of a channel.

“Backup requested! Shots fired!” She knew it was trouble, knew that it was urgent because she could hear the explosion of those gunshots in her ear. She could hear the cursing of the men, could hear the thunk of things falling over.

Sasha cursed, adjusting her clothes quickly before crossing the street. She had stayed close so she could come in, so that she wouldn’t be noticed if seen. But she knew that her team was closer. She’d be the last one to the rendezvous point.

And wouldn’t that be just like her? Getting there fashionably late?

She stepped into the small alley between two supposedly condemned buildings, so small that it didn’t even hold a dumpster. Once out of sight, she turned to the men and women in combat gear. “What’s the scoop?” she demanded, eyeing the people who thought nothing of the danger they were about to face. Like her, they were warriors. Like her, they were part of the Hidden. And like her, they would give their lives for their fellow Hunters. They’d make sure that Connor’s team got out alive.

“They are holding ground in the front, but they are taking heavy fire.” Marco said. He was a large light haired Vampire, and her right-hand man.

“Benson, Angie, Sonja, you go in the back. Marco and I will go through the front.” She ordered, knowing right away that they would comply. They were to try to take down the enemy without killing them. It was the only way to gain information that they hadn’t gotten before. She just hoped that the baddies didn’t have those death-capsules in their mouths again. It really sucked when the enemy died before she wanted them to!

They all nodded, not bothering to wait before slipping into the night. Marco passed her the quiver with her poison tipped arrows, along with her bow, both which she slung over her shoulder. “Okay, let’s do this!”

They made their way to the front door, watching closely to make sure that they weren’t seen. She knew that people rarely came to this part of town. It was all abandoned due to a recent natural disaster. Floods, you gotta love ‘em. But you could never be too sure.

Once they got to the front, they both flattened themselves to the sides of the door and she gestured for Marco to open it. She was surprised to find it unlocked. He kept to one side while Sasha stayed to the other.

She was cautious. You never knew what you’d find when called in for backup. Especially when the original team was investigating rogue Witches who were trying to make a blood sacrifice to call up a Demon.

Sasha peered in, hoping to assess the situation. And all at once, she could see the problem. The room was large, dark and mostly empty. The tables were flipped to the side, most likely to shield the team from fire, not that they were even close to bulletproof! The door directly in front of them was open, and a shout rung out.

Cover blown!

Not that she thought, or even hoped, to go in undetected. They did have to take attention away from the guys going in back after all.

She knew that the original team could leave, systematically if they wished to, but that wasn’t the objective of the mission. And if Sasha knew anything about the brilliant Connor, it was that he always finished what he started out doing. It was a trait she found adorable in him.

Sasha notched an arrow in her mini-crossbow, before leaning forward once more. And once a bullet crashed into the doorframe beside her head—which only took a second—she focused on her target and let her arrow fly. The oomph was the only indicator that she had hit her mark, and immediately she drew back. “One down”

“Yeah, if only it wasn’t so fucking dark. Can’t see the mothers.” The large Vampire said, loading a dart into his own weapon. She knew he hated the thing, but she commended him for using it anyways. At least she would when they were finished. ‘Bout time they got a raise!

“Says the man with the freaky vamp eyes!” She taunted, sticking her tongue out at her friend.

He just laughed in response before shooting into the darkened room.

The click in her earpiece had her groaning. Why were they communicating now? There was always a no communication rule when engaging an enemy! She’d have to whoop some butts! “The inner door is barred. Can’t get through. No windows accessible. What are our orders?” Angie’s girlish voice rang through.

Sasha wanted to roll her eyes but managed against it. “Stay and cover the exit, they might try to escape.”

“We need in, Sasha!” Connor called from his spot behind the tables, as one of his teammates poked his cute little head out to shoot another person in the interior doorway.

“Yeah, yeah. Working on it Hottie. Might have to let one of mine go in.” She said, working another arrow into position.

“We are perfectly capable!” He called back, and this time Sasha did roll her eyes. Humans, were just so predictable. They always had to
