The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 233 - Life In Danger

All entry and exit to the building are seized? What about the rooftop? It isn't an entry nor an exit to the building.

When the Shadow team member closed the emergency exit door, Aarvi picked the square-shaped hollow iron block from the floor. After unlocking its one side, she locked the two handles of the door while three men watched her in awe.

They realized that her team prepared everything on her orders. The emergency exit door is too heavy to start with, with the type of custom made lock she was using, it was impossible to break without using electronic metal cutters. So one has to go downstairs to use the emergency exit.

While they were thinking Aarvi might start descending the stairs, the captain of the Shadow team who was watching from a third-person view commented as "Ms. Evans is shrewd." That means she is well prepared and they just have to follow her and protect her. 

Despite being curious to ask a lot of questions, Shawn climbed stairs with the three to reach the rooftop. Remembering Hays International didn't have a helipad, Shawn asked in dilemma, "Little Heart, are you going to push me down from the ninth floor?"

Aarvi chuckled at his comment and nonchalantly said almost giving strokes to the Shadow team members, "Nope, those two will jump from the tenth floor."

The two Shadow team members: "..."

'I didn't know I could fly.' They sobbed to themselves.

As soon as four exited the door to the rooftop, Aarvi didn't have to instruct or do, a member took the locker prepared, and locked the door from outside. Aarvi guided Shawn to a platform and passed a harness to him while Shawn was grinning ear to ear for having the chance to try zipline in the city. 

There were four small complexes between Hays International and another tall building hence the zipline was established between the buildings. It wasn't added long back but fifteen minutes earlier after confirming Leon was driving towards the Hays international instead of the Harmon Industries.

There was only a single roller on the zip line with two hooks together, Aarvi wore her handbag as a sling bag before tying the harness.

Shawn suddenly commented in delight, "Leon Harmon punched Vance Hays. It's so satisfying."

Aarvi: "..."

She didn't expect him to set the mic in the office room, she had kept a spy camera for Zain to watch live and record if informational.

After wearing the gloves, "Ms. Evans, have you tried zipline before?" A shadow team member asked to confirm she wasn't afraid.

Shawn rolled his eyes, "She is crazy over these games."

Aarvi ignored it and turned to them. She pointed to the building that was behind Hays International, "It isn't safe to go to the main road so you guys rappel down the eight stories quickly and make use of the delivery vehicles parked there to escape to that building. Until you make sure none is following you, don't stop." She handed them gloves saying it.

They can't go one by one which will consume a lot of time so she thought since those members are trained, they can climb down the building, then use the arch on the first floor to jump to neighboring building premises. Since it was behind the entrance, it wasn't in the sight of other areas and the wall wasn't glass to notice from inside.

The Shadow team member didn't respond, "Ms. Evans, don't worry about us. Your safety comes first."

Aarvi frowned, if those two can't exit the building safely, her mission will be failed. If Leon catches them, he will torture them to death.

Shawn held her shoulders and pushed her towards the zipline, "Little Heart, if you just give them a rope, they can easily escape. They will be safe."

She trusted Shawn's words and both attached the hook to the zipline and Aarvi instructed the two right before they lifted their legs and the roller moved, "Don't follow us. Track my location after ten minutes."

All Shadow team members: "..."

How can they be sure about her safety without having any idea? Even though the captain sent the people to the building Zipline was attached, those members can't reach faster than Aarvi and Shawn. By her tone, they were sure, it wasn't the building they were going to stop and she had a series of escape plans.

Shawn was busy hearing Vance and Leon's voices over his Bluetooth so he was concentrating at the end of the zipline to land safely. He was disappointed to know that Vance didn't reveal about the Rivas family standing behind her. 

He had thought if Vance revealed their inclusion with Aarvi aka Ava Kelly, Leon wouldn't act recklessly but it was still the same as Aarvi wanted it to be. He didn't know if he should be happy about it or be more careful.

Unrevealing about Rivas and provoking Leon further will infuriate him more against Ava Kelly and he will go to any extreme to end her life. He really wanted to make sure if Vance was being sneaky or he was really admiring the new her.

Aarvi pinched Shawn's stomach for not responding to her, "Where have you lost?"

Shawn hissed slapping her hand and wrapped his hand around her back ready to fluently land together without jerking on the zipline.

Once they landed, Aarvi turned behind to see the two members promptly hearing her order and jumped to the next building premises where a car stopped in front of them to pick them up after telling her full name.

They showed OK at Aarvi to relay that they were following her plan before the car drove away.

Shawn shook her hand to show Leon's men had broken the door and one person had rolled his jacket and suspended it over the zipline. He was sliding towards them holding its sleeves. "Little Heart, he will reach us."

Aarvi waited for the man to reach some course of distance before slapping her fist on a button.

Shawn then noticed the Zipline was attached to an electronic holder which left the wire and the man fell on the second building with pretty good height to break his bones without threatening the life.

Aarvi threw their harness to a floor below and Shawn saw somebody quickly grabbing them away to hide.

Aarvi held his hand and ran, "Run…"

Park Avenue is the building made for parking vehicles for all the buildings across the road. While Shawn was expecting her to take a car, he heard a person shout, "They are here. Catch them."

"Damn." Finally, fear slowly coursing up, Shawn cursed after seeing the car just a few meters away from them. "We are caught."

He realized she purposefully grabbed everyone's attention to the Zipline while none knew how the other two escaped from the building. She obviously didn't want them to be in danger.

Aarvi knew Leon wasn't an idiot to take his men only to the Hays International building. They will watch from outside too. But she hadn't expected them to reach so soon that even the Shadow team failed to react that fast.

If she hadn't waited to press the button to release the Zipline, they would have escaped but that person on the zipline would have lost his life falling from ten floors to the ground.

She thought of another life that put their lives in danger.
