MORTUUS

CHAPTER ELEVEN

The car stop and machine guns on both sides of the gate immediately pointed at us. Ray stepped out and walked to the gate where he imputed a code on a pad of buttons located by the pillars that held the gate. I didn't realize how huge the gate was until Ray was close enough, it was at least ten times his size. The machine guns immediately retracted but the gate remained locked.

Ray came back to the car and Jay honked thrice and I heard a sound like a huge bolt was pulled back and the gate began to gently open. Jay didn't hesitate, he drove straight in and the gate closed behind him.

The inside of the gate was humongous, there was a huge field and people around, they all stopped whatever they were doing to stare. I found myself self-consciously sinking deeper into the car seat.

The car drove in a straight line and soon enough huge mansions appeared. They were two standing side by side. The car swerved and went round the huge house all the way to the back then it stopped in front of a smaller building.

They both unlocked their car doors simultaneously and Ray walked to mine, he unlocked the door and helped me out. My legs were a little wobbly, maybe from being in one position for that long. Holding my hands we made our way into the building.

“Doctor Karen!” Jay yelled as soon as we entered. The room we appeared in looked like a lobby.

A pretty lady came bursting through a door, “I have told you not to yell out my name like some animal. There is a procedure to this and I could tell you were in here as soon as you walked through the door.”

“It is always nice to have you rushing out at my beck and call.” The smirk on his lips could be seen from a mile away, at least this time I wasn't so surprised.

She ignored him and turned to me, “What have we here?” Her eyes widened as she finally got a look on my face. “W-what the hell? Who could have done something so awful? How the hell am I going to cover that up?”

I knew I looked bad but I didn't think it was that bad. Ray must have seen the look on my face for he said, “Don't do that Karen, you would make her think it is worse than it looks.” I didn't miss the fact that he didn't add Doctor.

“Sorry, but I couldn't help but react to the marks on your face.” She touched my face and asked, “This was done by fingers right?”

I nodded, worried that my voice would break if I tried to speak. She looked to be around middle-aged but there was the very obvious fact that she was quite beautiful with blond hair and a height of at least 5ft 11inches compared to my 5ft 6inches, she definitely had the model height I always wanted. Her lips were her most prominent features, poking its way out of her face it called at whoever was staring at it.

“What’s your name sweetheart?” She asked, keeping a keen look on my face.
