This office room was exactly like the last time she was here. Nothing change, including the password in the private elevator that brought her to the bas. e. m. e. nt.
Raine was very confused about why she was there, she didn't have any idea.
Inside the elevator, Raine put the little bird on her pocket jacket as she felt?something heavy and hard inside. It was her phone.
Raine had never felt so grateful for sleeping without changing her clothes as she still kept everything with her, like her phone, her wallet and still wore her warm jacket in this slightly cold night.
First thing that Raine had to do was to find a hotel to stay and thought about this over also, she needed to call Calleb, Serefina and Raphael. She could meet the Beta since they were in the same city now.
Thus, Raine shuffled between the car, afraid if she was caught by the CCTV there. She covered her head with her hoodie and barefooted toward the exit of the parking lot.
Raine knew this place very well and could avoid the security if she was careful enough.
The only reason she didn't want to be seen by anyone that she was here, because she heard this Company had been acquired by de Medici Family, which Belphegor, oddly enough, was the head of the family.
However, there was another thing that bothered Raine too. de Medici family pointed Andoori Family to be their partner as the replacement of Torak Donovan.
It was weird enough because as long as Raine could remember, Andoori family wasn't an outstanding or prominent family in this city. They wouldn't offer many benefits for the de Medici family.
And also the fact that Raine became closer and closer to Sunny and her vision too. This thought scare her when she remembered how much blood on her hand in her vision.
Raine took a deep breath, now she walked on the street across the Donovan building. She needed to find a hotel, a cheap one.
Not because she didn't have money. Raine, fortunately, brought her wallet with her, so all the card inside was enough for her to stay in the most expensive hotel.
But, she couldn't do that, knowing Torak had become the most wanted person after his crime of killing many police officers and the people inside the library building, they would absolutely look for her too.
Thus Raine looked for a cheap hotel that didn't have a complicated procedure to check in.
Raine knew one place that would be perfect for her now.
"One room please." Raine said in low voice, covering half of her face as she stood in front of a reception table, which was a middle age woman sitting.
The woman looked at Raine, as she maintained a calm expression, and said the price. After Raine paid for her room, the woman gave her the key.
"Is today is Friday, may 8th?" Raine wanted to make sure that she just moved to another place and not jumped to another years. She was tired with this.
"Yes." The woman replied as she yawned."Third floor, the eighth room from the stairs." She added.
"Got it." Raine was about to leave when the woman shouted at her again.
"Use the stairs, the elevator doesn't work." She informed her in her thick accent.
"Okey." Raine kept her words very short as she jogged to the third floor by stairs. f𝑟e𝒆𝘸𝒆𝙗𝒏ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
The eighth room from the stairs was actually the last room at the corner of this hallway. This place was usually used by people who only looked for a short stay or the backpacker who was short of money or any other brief activity that Raine didn't want to think about it.
The moment she was inside her room, Raine let out her breath that she didn't realize she had been holding, her tense shoulder also slightly relaxed.
Raine scanned her room briefly.
There was only a single bed in white sheet and a pillow, a small bedside table and a table with a chair that face the window, from her window, she could see the Donovan building a bit far from here.
Raine made sure the door was locked before she walked toward the bed and laid her tired body.
Raine felt something moving inside her pocket and pulled out the bird."Did you do all this?" she questioned the bird, which let out a weak squeal.
She looked into the creature red eyes and put it on her chest before she made a phone call to Calleb.
"Why are you calling me when you are only inside your room?" Calleb was still awake, apparently, because Torak had gone missing and Raphael also wasn't there, he had a lot of things in his hand that needed to be handled.
The Gamma had to coordinate with the other Alphas to gain information about Torak, the movement in the Fulbright city or anything that out of ordinary.
"I am not inside my room." Raine glanced at the clock on the wall. It showed three o'clock in the morning.
"Wait, what!?"
From across the phone Raine could hear Calleb's heavy footstep stomping the floor when he stormed toward her bedroom.
Not long, Calleb roared over the phone. ??Where are you!?" he sounded very angry because he thought Raine had sneaked out of her bedroom and did something stupid."Why are you not inside your room?!"
"Relax. Let me explain." Raine tried to calm him down, but Calleb had riled up before she could utter her explanation.
"Girl, you better stay where you are and don't roam around alone until I get to you!" Calleb was breathless when Raine heard a jingling sound of car key."Now tell me where are you!?" his voice raised a few octave.
Raine was quite irritated by the way Calleb talked to her, he had not yet heard her explanation, but already jumped into conclusion.
"I am in Fulbright city. Inside a cheap hotel near the Donovan building!" Raine bit back."And no. I am not a girl. I am your Luna!"
