Chapter 181 - Chapter 180 Understand what's under

Frantic sounds of voices clashing with footsteps matching it went down the hallway, the light caught them making a shadow over the risen floors, 

"They told us to place them in the back of building leaving the underground and back exits blocked," 

"Yeah, for how long. Those dons aren't natural, they would break through it without any effort" 

The two co workers moved past the hallway hitting a shoulder of a man trying to lean on the wall, 

"do ya mind?" Damien asked 

The two looked at them a bit hesitant, one flinched from Damien's voice, 

"We were just setting up the back side of the plan sir" one of the stepped up not afraid but is weary, Damien scanned the man lighting his cigarette and motioned them to move 

"Then who am I to stop you" Damien scoffed 

The two flinched and walked past Damien but he heard one of them say, "you shouldn't be smoking in the building" 

Damien stopped peering at where they went, he saw a faint white light from the meeting room, a small smirk played on his lips,

"I dare you to say that to Salvatore he smokes like a fireplace" Danien stated 

He breathed out relaxing against the walk when the light from the hallway grew, it was Avalon he knew hearing from the voices coming from the corner, he puffed out a cloud of smoke hearing a faint exacerbated voice, 

"Smoking already Damien I wo I ld have thought it would have taken longer than a simple look around our vault" 

Damien leaned his head staring into the soft browns he knew too well, "I see you found me, a good assassin always knows their prize hu?" He retorted taking his cigarette out puffing, when a delicate hand took it did not crush it as she had done before, taking a puff from the cigarette she scanned him, 

"You should be resting before tomorrow your shoulder is still fucked up from Lugh" Ally breathed out before crushing it, 

"I think the throbbing aches aren't an underlying stress disorder" Damien huffed 

"No but life long issues are a contributing factor" Ally chuckled flicking the cigarette bud at his chest he caught it looking at her with a coe smirk on his face,

"Well add yourself to that factor you give me a heart attack the moment you walked in," Damien conquered his hand and touched her jaw, Ally glared at him but her cheeks flared a silent flush, she leaned into it sending a glare his way. 

"You're being too nice , where did Salavtore send you this time?" Ally let out 

Damien traced her jaw before moving back his crimson hus crinkled scanning her, she was too clever for her own good. Been thought to many death spirals for a life time much less a year, he leaned back on the wall his shoulder a light dull throb,

"You caught me was it that predictable, where you hoped I was charming you again at least this time my shoulder didn't break," Damien sighed, titling his head back admiring. 

Ally stood straight, her eyes peering around the hallway, seeing if there's more foot traffic coming, none it was silent. Ally gaze to him and noted,

"You don't smoke unless something is about to become a shit feast," 

Damien couldn't hold back a chuckle, he looked at her shaking his head, slightly. 

"He sent me with Avalon..I know Lugh's mind works so far, and if Marcello is still in the coma the only other person who knows these kinds of fallen angels is you." Damien admits

"It was either me or you?" 

"The both of us at first but i made Salavtore think other wise with Luke's help" Daimen answered 

"Luke he was monitoring the right side of Ninianne for days, it better be good where im in if your in the kill zone with Avalon" Ally exhorted 

Ally moved his hand on his chest pointed at him, Damien watched her his subtle smirk didn't leave it wanted to grow, he stopped it but couldn't help the twitch, 

"Your with Liz and if all goes to plan, we meet up in the left side of the building of not, you know how this will turn" Damien claimed

Ally hand flinched as he grabbed it, eyes clouded with the memory of hearing a scream that could shake the world before turning it to ash. The woman grading over a fallen man, her body becoming a star before their eyes, Ally felt his hand cradle hers, Damien observed her seeing the dazed stare and her jaw tightening, he squeezed her hand, 

"We'll be fine," Daimen tried to console her, Ally stared at him in disbelief.

"You can't just say that. Shes been thought it..this is a death sentence" 

"She knows that" Damien told her

Ally felt him tighten his grip on her hands, she glared at him looking for any sign of letting it go. Going to the other side letting Avalon fight them, she has a better chance. "Not him, he came out with a shoulder shattered by her…" 

"Had her heart cut in," Damien interrupted 

"How did" Ally got interrupted by him holding her cheek after tracing it, he watched teasingly, 

"You were talking out loud, it's been happening as of late like smoking but healthy," Damien jested pinching her cheek Ally glared at him her hand pushed against his chest, pushing him into the wall, 

"Could have stopped me from that" 

Damien shrugged his lips a soft grin, "whats the point in that your to in your head to be stopped, and I like it when you speak your mind even at my expense" Damien explained 

He pushed himself off the wall Ally watched him shadow over her, nose touching she glared up at him, her lips a flustered snare about to ring his ear out and placed it in her kit, 

"I didn't think I would walk in on you both again at least this time Ally isn't trying to choke you out," 

A voice came out from the hallway, Ally head turned to them seeing the faint light grew around the person leaning on the wall, Damien huffed taking another cigarette out,

"You have a shitty way with timing Avalon" 

Avalon pushed off the wall the light that poured from behind her was on her shoulder, her silver hues playful. She walked to them slowly scanning the two, Damien shoulder better and Ally stressed, she leaned her head to the side, opening her mouth to tease them even more, 

"Or pinch my nerve making me stay in place all night" Damien caught it with a nod,

"I did that because you were becoming intolerant" Ally scoffed 

She got off him and met Avalon half way her brown eyes a soften glare a wide contrast from the time before. 

"How was it I was just about to join but the door was locked" Ally asked 

"It was the layout we got a better map of the inside, it showed there watch post there personal, all there big players are there" Avalon answered 

"Blakes there?" Damien interrupted getting off the wall shuffled to them lighting his next cigarette only to have Ally take it from his lip, for herself he peered at her only to have a sweet smile on her lips as she breaths it in, 

"He is. Appeared yesterday with Maxien and Peter over his shoulder making his men appear from out of the mist,"

Avalon told them, she was glancing away recalling the meeting, Salavtore brought out the surveillance video, it caught them arriving before Blake looked at it destroying it with a shift from his neck, a glow for his glyphs and he's gone, Avalon felt Ally's hold on her arms, 

"Back up then the other dons" Ally let out 

"Sounds like a fucked party" Damien mumbled

"Slaughter house more like it, Salvatore gave us until at sundown they expected us to go at night that's when we'll go in before then" Avalon stated 

Damien took his cigarette back taking a breath before asking, "then he wants us to hear the whole plane or is he leaving us in the dark?" 

"Yes I asked her to find the most elite of my company" 

A rough voice cut thought them, the three looked seeing Salvatore's large shadow behind Avalon, Salvatore had his hand in his pocket with the other holding his phone to his ear, Jane on the speaker trying to talk with him, he titled his head away for a moment 

"You need to know the post, get in the meeting room we will have it set up for you Jacob is already there," Savatore explained placing a hand on his phone moving it away,

"And hurry…she needs me" Salvatore urged them,

Avalon sighed striding up to him, she pats his shoulder feeling Ally right behind her, 

"Take your time check on her and by the way congratulations" Avalon said walking past him

Ally rolled her eyes hitting his chest swaying past him, with a faint unimpressed smile moving past him with Damien following them both he nudged him, 

"We have it go to her just come back in the morning your still the head..unless you want Avalon to take the helm again" Damien expressed 

"I'll wait on that I think she need another to bare the hand I dealt with for thirty years" Salvatore countered he pushed Damien past him and placed the phone running with Jane's calm tone pushing thought the speakers, 

"Salvatore, you're not holding the phone aside to plan again?" Jane asked strained 

Salvatore smiled at her voice giving the three a glanced when the left the hallway into the crowded meeting room, hearing the relentless chatter coming from the room,

"Sorry I had to bring them all together" Salvatore responded 

"Again? They have a way of moving past each other then finding themselves" Jane said 

Salvatore smiled turning towards the hallway end, hearing the planned serious conversations held around the corner, he nods at her words,

"They do more than I thought to recollect," Salvatore said

He strides to the meeting room the voices got louder, he heard the individuals in there Luke's higher but calm voice seem to cut through Jacob's deep rigged planing through the maps glowing over the table he placed,

"Are they going over the plan? You worked with Avalon and Ally on that for hours" Jane inquired

Savatore looked through the window he caught Avalon in his chair a little off to the side waiting for someone else to take the place, Salvatore placed his other hand on the phone, he pulled it to his face, 

"I think im needed in there soon Avalon looks like she's about to issue a war packet with Damien just to get the others on board" 

"If There in that kind of pitching contest let the two handle it…let them see what happens where your not in it if you want go in there but let them talk it out" Jane suggested 

"That's not a half bad idea…ill talk to you a bit after..keep them in check ya?" Salvatore asked 

"I will bye" 

Salvatore ended the call opening the door the boom of converting opinions hit him, he stood in the doorway listening to them,

"You're still going with Avalon in the front you don't even see the underlying death sentence with it" Ally said leaning into Damien scanning him to find if he was hesitant, he wasn't staring right back at her unbothered. 

"She needs back up your needed in the back read the line we meet in the middle, it will be fine not the first time we fought over powered nut jobs" Damien reminds her finishing his cigarette

On the other side Luke and Liz sat on the tables tablet top, there hand flickered and moved over the information and maps they built and found,

"There inner lay out is closed worse then before, worse then Morrigan" Liz let out her gaze flickered over To Avalon who sit straight observing the whole group, Liz slides the map over to Avalon and she caught it, 

"This is the worst clog in the machine I've seen it would be a mistake if one of us got in not a whole unit," Liz emphasized pointing at the two entrances, the front was guarded by groups of trained men under Lugh's guidance, and industrial doors with electronic locks on the inside, then the small build fencing made a long time ago watched over by Ceth people, Avalon finger tips touched the projection it showed the wall, 

"This is where we will take the brunt." Avalon's cut thought the bickering of the room she looked at them strict, 

It was the front gate they would know. Ally stared at her like she grew another head, Luke froze from grabbing a security footage levitating past his head slowly turning to Avalon stunned, Jacob sitting on Liz other side letting out an irritated sigh leaning back in his chair, 

"I thinking I chose wrong if it weren't for killing off Morrigan and that wasn't even us" Jacob sighed 

Damien let out a light chuckle and peered at Avalon, he motion to the gates "through the front door again" 

"Your mistaken" 

Avalon pointed under the gate where a water lines where, where the underground area of the building is, 

"Liz there's an opening there or do I need to make one" 

They all looked to where she's pointing, it was under the gates there was a large indent. Liz grabbed it then searched for an underground map, 

"Your..your not wrong," Liz stuttered and brought up the map over the original, Avalon moved her hand pointing under the gate where the underground Map showed was missing. 

"That's where it is. The entrance we start there" Avalon ordered a faint white flame resting on her shoulder.

"Theres actually an underground thought they would be too afraid." Ally thought out loud, 

Damien glared at her flicking his cigarette at the map, "There that desperate need a way out,"

"Or to trap us under" Jacob Interjected 

Avalon Looked at them the flame growing larger, she looked at Damien, her eyes burned along with them, 

"We trap them instead." Avalon assured
