Zizi (Part 10)

It’s been a few months now, since the day Nora and I decided to team up. My original plan was to help as many people hurt by K.N.O.C.K.O.U.T. as possible. I knew that anything more than that would end badly since I do not have the numbers to stand up to them. Nora has been very valuable to me with her knowledge of them. We have been slowly messing with their plans of destroying homes and kicking people to the curb. Usually between the two of us we are able to deter their attempts of expansion. Since we have been successful in destroying their plans of expansion. Our new plan involves a bigger target that will have long term effects on their organization in general.

The trust that has been built between Nora and I have been surprisingly welcomed. With in the past few weeks she has opened up to me more and I found myself spilling secrets to her that I have never told anyone else. Today is the day that changed our relationship.

Today happens to be the same day that we were captured by them. However, this was part of our plan luckily. What was not part of the plan was where we were being kept.

We are tied so we were facing eachother and distractingly close together. She was already working herself out of the ropes. The part that’s tricky is the fact that we are hanging in a cage above alligator invested water.

“So what’s the plan, Zizi?” She asks while releasing her hands from the rope.

“I’m working on it,” I reply while looking around. The walls were stone and the only thing holding this cage up is a chain.

“We should be able to climb the chain to get up high enough to get to the trap door.” She suggests while struggling against the rope binding our torsos together. “I don’t get why they bothered tying us together.”

“Most likely to buy themselves some time.” I spoke while eyeing the lock. Now if only I had a small piece of wire or something.

“Need a hair pin?” I hear Nora ask from behind me.

I turn to see that she is holding one out to me. “Yes a hair pin will do the trick. Thank you.”

After a few moments of fiddling I was able to pop open the door to our cage. “Am I really sleep deprived or is the water starting to rise?” I hear her voice fill with a slight tone of apprehension.

I glance down and notice that the water is in fact starting to rise. Shit. “No it is rising. Time to start climbing. You go first and I’ll be right behind you.”

“You don’t have to tell me twice. We have business to attend to with some people that will not be happy to know that we are alive.” She remarks as she climbs on to the top of the cage and starts climbing the chain.

I follow close behind her. We were able to reach the trap door easily enough but the door was stuck when she tried to open it. “Shit. I’m going to need some help with this.” She admits.

I shimmy my way so we can both try the door at the same time and it pops open. We both pull ourselves up and close the door behind us. Now we are in another room that seems to be empty but I could see a couple of guards outside of the door. Here comes the hard part. Sneaking past the guards to get to who we need to get to. “Ready?” I ask, giving her a look.

“Ready.” She confirms.
