Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1377

Sophie nudged Gordon into the elevator, and he casually pressed the button for B2.

When it came to a halt on the second basement level, Gordon simply said, "Let's head out."

"Alright." Sophie replied, pushing Gordon out of the lift and into the basement corridor.

Sophie had never ventured to the Aldridge family’s second basement before. She imagined it’d be a parking lot or maybe a wine cellar. But to her surprise, the elevator doors opened to reveal an archive room.

The space was lined with cabinets that looked like they belonged in a history museum, each labeled with Roman numerals. It was clear this place didn’t see much foot traffic.

Taking it all in, Sophie asked, "Mr. Gordon, is this the Aldridge family's old intelligence hub?"

"Indeed," Gordon replied with a hint of nostalgia. "This used to be the intelligence archive, but... it's been out of commission for years now."

In this age of digital information, places like this had become relics. A single computer could store all the data from this entire floor, making such manual archiving a thing of the past.

As Sophie pushed him further in, she asked, "So, are we waiting for someone here?"

Gordon shot her a knowing smile, "You catch on quick. We just need to wait here; someone should show up shortly. But before they do... we've gotta hide."

Sophie was taken aback by this. "Hide?" she echoed.

Gordon gestured towards the back of the room, "Over there."
