I Am The Luna

Chapter 0420
ZADE.
“I’m so sorry I got you dragged into this.”
“Did you rent this property in your name?” I ask.
She shakes her head. “I’m trespassing... It was empty. I was just crashing here as I had nowhere else I could go.” Adriana’s
saying guiltily as she tries to walk, but she’s in a pretty bad state.
“We’re a team,” Valerie replies, fixing a shirt she’s put on Ada.
“Alright ladies, let’s go. I’ll carry Ada, Val if you can help Adriana. I just need to burn this fucking place down. Do you have
anything you need to take?” I ask, looking at Adriana.
“There’s a large gym bag under the bed. That’s the main thing.”
I crouch down and pull it out as Valerie grabs her medical supplies and helps put Adriana’s arm around her shoulders and holds
her waist.
“Didn’t think this would be how our first meeting would go,” Adriana says to her as I flip open the bag.
Valerie chuckles. “It’s memorable at least.”
“Zade that!–”
“I’m not taking anything with me without searching,” I reply coldly, cutting Adriana off, but it’s just cash, bandages, some herbs,
and a few other items, including her laptop. Zipping it up, I shoulder it, picking up the items I had taken from the first two men.
“Do you think she’s going to be ok doctor?” Adriana asks as I pick up Ada.
“Call me Valerie. Her body is stabilising, but I’m not sure about her comatose state, especially since she’s been in that state for a
while,” Valerie explains gently.
I doubt she’ll wake up, but I don’t say anything, leading the way out of the room and downstairs.
“Goddess...” Valerie murmurs, and I don’t need to turn to know she’s sickened at the sight.

“Any other way out of here, aside from the front door?” I ask Adriana.
“There’s a back gate that leads down to the alleyway,” she replies.
I nod, placing Ada down and head back upstairs. I just need a minute. I head upstairs to where I had placed the items I had
removed from the first bodies and pick up the two grenades. These are good, but I needed to make sure that this place is
completely destroyed.
I pile the bodies together in the hall before I enter the kitchen and turn the gas from the cooker on, hearing the whistle as the
room begins to smell.
“Let’s get out of here,” I say, lifting Ada once more. Unlocking the back door, I assess the area, before letting Valerie step outside
first.
“Get to the back gate now,” I order, carrying Ada to the gate, as Valerie and Adriana manage to unlock the gate and step inside. I
motion them to move further back and place Ada down along with the bag. “I’ll be back.”
“Zade...”
I turn to Valerie, worry clear in her eyes. I reach over, caressing her cheek.
“I won’t be long.”
She nods as I return to the kitchen and take out two grenades from my pocket. I pull the pins out of them simultaneously and
fling them through the kitchen and into the hallway.
As much as I’d rather there be no trace of the bodies left, that’s not possible, but at least I can destroy as much evidence as
possible. Right now, my priority is getting the girls somewhere safe. This has gotten out of control.
The moment I tossed the grenades, I turned, running towards the back gate before they erupt. I’m thrown off my feet by the
impact, making Valerie cry out. “Zade!”
I’m good, baby girl.‘ I reassure her as I break my fall and roll over before getting up and rushing through the back gate as the
second one goes off and pulls the gate shut.
“Keep going!” I command as we hurry down the alley, as I hear several explosions, the flames rising high into the sky.

We move swiftly, sticking to the shadows until we reach the spot where my car is parked. Luckily, the roads are pretty deserted,
and my only concern is if we left any blood in our wake, “Get in, we might need to ditch this car too.”
This is a messy getaway, the worst and in my fucking eyes, a failure.
“We need to move the meeting forward. We need to go back home.” Valerie whispers as she helps Adriana in before I place Ada
beside her.
I shut the door and look at her.
