[[continued from Of Assassination and Murder - Part 2]]
Aria lay on the floor for what felt like countless minutes. Before she pulled herself up. She felt Nox crumbling - that's whose pain had shattered as the words that were said with the sweet caress of pride and adoration. The words sickened her stomach.
Aria had wanted to relish the fact that this man's pain was hers, but she instead gave him happiness - he didn't deserve happiness. But he was dead without a struggle. He would be declared dead of natural causes like Lucas. Another crack in her shields, Lucas was gone forever.
Aria trudged to her coat slung over the arm chair and pulled out the ear piece from its safe place in the zippered pocket. She heard someone yelling at her in the ear piece as she slipped it on.
Aria took a deep breath as she belted her sword to her hip and felt the comforting weight of it again. She pulled her coat on sleeve by sleeve and felt the silky lining caress her skin. Aria paid attention to the littlest detail as Nox spoke to the fiery red head. He sounded distant and broken and Aria's heart ached for him. She ached for herself, her own loss - his loss. She could feel the hurt in his voice as if it were her own.
Aria spoke gently through the void of emotionless pain. "I'm here. But he's right. There should be no danger."
Aria made her way to the elevator and pushed the down arrow. The button flashed at her and the display read "lock down initiated". Lovely.
Aria looked around for something, anything that could help her escape this horrid place.
"Connor, you there? The penthouse is in lock down. Any idea how I can undo it from here?"
Aria didn't want to have to call the police but she would if it would get her out of her faster.
