Not yet.
Soon, I promise myself.
“Let’s get you inside so you can go take a nap.”
Chapter Sixty-One
Falcon
Iwalk Robin back into the building, watching her disappear up the staircase that leads to her room. I stand there for a little longer than I need to, wanting to be sure she got back to her room safely. When she doesn’t come back down, I move reluctantly down the hallway and step into the reception area.
The thought of speaking to Lana again makes my headache, but I need to let her know about the security threat, and besides that, I have to show her I’m taking her asinine rules seriously.
I get to the door, and it opens as I’m raising my fist to knock.
Owen steps back silently to let me inside.
I step into the room, my gaze moving straight to Lana, who’s just getting up from behind her desk.
“You have a gap in your security,” I state, before she can say a word.
She raises an eyebrow, while Owen clears his throat behind me.
The door closes, shutting the three of us in the office together.
“Excuse me?” Owen asks, sounding thoroughly insulted. “What exactly do you mean, we have a gap in our security?”
He steps around to my side, and I turn to glance at him.
“I mean, a hole has been cut in one of your wire fences. It’s a human sized hole, so you need to get it sealed as soon as possible.”
Lana narrows her eyes at me before she turns her gaze on Owen.
“When was the last perimeter check from outside the grounds?”
“Last full check was three days ago,” Owen states. “There was an internal check two days ago. No breaches detected. Pete did the internal, so we know for sure it was all good two days ago.”
“Did he check the fence at the back of the cafeteria building?” I ask.
“That’s where it’s been cut?” Owen asks.
“That’s convenient,” Lana mutters. “Are you trying to tell us someone else cut the fence at the building you were in today, and that this security breach has absolutely nothing to do with you?”
I blink at her.
She thinks I did this.
Of course she does.
It’s way more convenient than the truth, which is that someone wanted to sneak out, or sneak in to the grounds of the academy.
“I didn’t cause it,” I bite out. “I’d never do anything to compromise the safety of one of my mates. I’m telling you the hole is there so you can fix it.”
She stares at me for a good few seconds, before blowing out a breath.
“Fuck,” she curses, looking at Owen. “Get on it. If someone’s here who shouldn’t be I need to know about it yesterday.”
He goes back to the door and takes out his phone.
