Chapter 0168
Freya gives him an assessing gaze and then looks to me before speaking, “Sorry girl, but I have to agree with him on this one,” she smiles apologetically.
“Whatever. Can we just forget about that for now and you show us what is in the case and tell us your grand plan?” I scowl, not liking the feeling of being ganged up on by not only my bonds but now my bestie too. I’m sure Dot would take my side if she was here. On second thoughts she probably wouldn’t, especially if she knew I was carrying her niece or nephew. I can’t wait to tell her.
Freya finally flips open the lid of her suitcase and we all step closer to get a better look. There is what looks like a ring light, a phone stand, face paints, various masks and costumes and tins of coloured hair spray.
“It’s al
‘s a bit late for Halloween,” I frown at her in confusion.
“It’s the best I could come up with at short notice at this time of year,” she rolls her eyes, “welcome to the opposition campaign,” she grins proudly.
Deacon walks into the kitchen before I can ask for further explaination. He looks stressed but his curious when he takes in Freya and the case of random items she has.

“It’s a good idea, but we don’t want to draw attention to ourselves and let the rogues know we are here,” Deacon shakes his head.
“This could actually work. We could make it seem like we recorded it in the past. We could say we have suspicions that something like this is being planned and that we are leaving this video with trusted humans, o only to be released if our suspicions are proven to be right,” Luke begins pacing, a telltale sign his brain is going into
overdrive.
“But then we will be recognised wherever we go,” Deacon counters.
“That’s why I brought disguises,” Freya grins.
I lean down and pick up one of the masks, it’s from The Purge movie. I toss it to the side, it’s probably not the best one to wear in this situation. I take a balaclava that has a skall printed on it and hand it to Axel. He pulls in over his head and I almost swoon. The mask covers most of his face apart from his eyes, which look even more piercing in the mask, and damn if he doesn’t look dangerous and sexy as hell.
“Perfect, just some black paint around his eyes and he will look so badass, and completely unrecognisable,” Freya beams.
