Chapter 241: Zombieland

Enzo and I walked for a while longer after that. The rain only kept getting heavier, making me wish that I had thought to bring some sort of protection against getting soaked, but as the tall pointed roofs of the mansion eventually came into view over the treetops I realized that we might not be out in the elements for much longer… Hopefully.

We quickly got off the road when we saw the mansion come into view, and decided to see if there was another way in this time since there was a possibility that Selena would expect us to come out of the spot we had been in before.

However, as we made our way through the woods and we could eventually see the full view of the mansion, Enzo and I quickly realized that there was no way to get in; even the side entrance that we used before was under heavy guard.

There were twice as many guards now, and all of them were heavily armed and on high alert. If it weren’t for the rain and the rapidly darkening sky, I was certain that they would have seen us.

“Shit,” Enzo whispered as we crouched behind some bushes and peered through the branches at the dozens of guards patrolling the entire perimeter of the mansion. “There’s no way in.”

I bit my lip as I wondered what we should do. Enzo was right; there was no way in. The security, after our last mission, was airtight.

We waited for a long time, watching to see what would happen. Maybe there would be a slight break between the guards’ shifts like last time; even if it was only a few seconds, it would be better than nothing. But, much to my dismay, the guards eventually changed shifts without any gap. The new shift of guards came out before the other guards ever left, leaving us with absolutely no window to run up to the side of the mansion. I was also fairly certain that the inside of the mansion was crawling with guards as well.

Finally, Enzo turned to look at me with a deep and solemn frown on his face.

“I don’t see a way that we can get in without being seen,” he said, sounding apologetic. “Either we’ll have to go home and give them some time to relax their security before we come back, or…”
