Felicity was laughing like like crazy, "girl! You gave those girls some serious fright, damn! You know what? I think you've earned that meal, let's go get some food!" But Lexi stood, "no" she said, there was a look of confusion on Felicity's face, "why?? What's wrong??" she asked looking puzzled.
"Come Fel, I need you to escort me to somewhere" she said pulling Fel with her.
"Whoa! Ok easy! Where are we going though??" Fel asked, but got no response. "Can you slow down at least??" Fel whined, they've walked for about a minute now, Lexi was no longer pulling her, then Lexi stopped in front of an L-shaped building.
"Okay, what are we doing in front of the B-block?? This isn't our dorm Lexi" Fel pointed out.
"Yes it isn't" Lexi said with a sly smile, as she scanned the entire block like she was searching for something, "there you are!" she said as she stared at a particular unit, smiling wickedly.
"Let's go" she whispered, "can you at least let me in on the plan??" Fel whispered desperately. "You wanted us to kick some ass, right?" Lexi whispered back, "y.. yeah? and why are we even whispering?? Wait a minute... isn't this Clemmie and Athena's dormitory??" Fel asked in sudden realization.
"You get the picture now??" Lexi said still wearing her wicked smile. "Now let's get in before someone finds us!" she said.
They got into the block and climbed unto the second floor and then stood in front of a particular unit, they turned down the door knob and tried to get in but it was locked.
"Oh shit!" Lexi cursed, "what now??" Fel asked, "it's locked!" Lexi said.
"Your locket!" Fel said, "nice! Atta girl!" Lexi complimented and Fel smiled mischievously.
Lexi quickly opened the locket of her necklace and look out a long tiny iron metal, put it into the keyhole and began to twist, after a few try, it made a clicking sound and they both giggled.
They opened the door and entered.
"So what exactly is the plan?" Fel asked, "put your voice down fel!" "sorry! So what exactly is the plan?" she repeated, but in a whisper this time.
"We need to get their IDs" Lexi said as she began to open some chest of drawers.
"You know, sometimes I forget how ruthless you can be! Girl you are evil!" Fel teased playfully. "This is a brilliant idea, because if they don't have their IDs, they can't have access to a lot of facilities and amenities, they wouldn't even be able to get into the mess hall and that would mean starvation for them!"
"yeah and that would also mean that they would be here any minute to get them, can I get a help here??!" Lexi beckoned.
"Yeah sure", Fel said as she squat beside Lexi and together they were rummaging through some drawers.
"So, how did you know they didn't have their IDs on them when we had that face-off? I mean everything happened so fast, a..and the..." "Felicity focus!" "ok! Ok! Stop yelling!"
After about a couple of seconds, they found them, Lexi found Athena's, while Felicity found Clementine's.
"Sweet!" Felicity exclaimed excitedly, "now let's get out of here" Lexi said and they both hurried out of the building. They had left the block and completely out of the 'danger zone', while Felicity wore a triumphant expression, Lexi kept a straight face as they headed for the mess hall.
Just as they were about to enter the hall, a commander called out, "Cadet Greyman!" they both froze.
"I think we've been caught!" Felicity murmured under her breath with a fearful look.
"Composure Fel! I think not!" Lexi whispered to her. They turned in harmony and saluted in unison, "sir!"
"I've been looking for you cadet Greyman, where have you been? You have a call" the commander informed and then went away.
"Holy molly! That was close! I thought we've been bursted!" Felicity cried as she exhaled sharply.
"No way Fel, there's no way in the world we could have been caught, we were too smooth!" she bragged, "right!" Fel concurred and they both did their stylish handshake, grinning from ear to ear.
"Alright, hurry and go take that call, I'm sure it's from home, someone's missing your scary ass!" Felicity teased, "go away!" Lexi said playfully, "alright you you in a bit"
"see ya!"
With that she left for the administrative block, as soon as she got into it, she headed for the telephone desk.
"Good morning sir, I was informed I have a call" Lexi said.
"Name?" the middle-aged female officer probed, "oh sorry sir, it's Alexandra... Alexandra Greyman" she replied.
"Hold on... here" the office said, handing out the telephone to her.
"Thanks sir" she said, and waited for the receiver to answer.
"Hello ma'am" the receiver said, it was a male voice, not the voice she was expecting but she knew just who owns the voice.
"Mr Gabriel??" "Yes ma'am, how do you do ma'am?" he inquired. "How do you do too, okay this is very unusual Gabriel", "that I know ma'am."
"Alright let's cut it a chase Gabriel. Why did call?" Lexi asked, trying so hard not to sound worried, but she was.
"Alright ma'am, there's no better way to put this, but you need to come home ASAP!" Gabriel said soundly.
Lexi's heart skipped a beat, but then she managed to utter the words, "how much time do I have?"
"the dawn of tomorrow."
