Chapter 645 - The Secret Passage

The car stopped in the middle of the dark forest. Then the driver stepped out of the car followed by General Grady.

Senator Rizza tried to open the door on her side but it was still locked. She knocked on the door to catch the attention of the driver that is leaning on the car talking to his phone.

She looked around and General Grady is nowhere to be found. She started to get panic. She clasped her chest as if trying to even her heartbeat that is quickening.

When General Grady told her that they are entering the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society, confusion was her first reaction. When she asked him if he is a member of the Robin Hood Society, his answer made her more confused.

Everything started to become blurry and in slow motion. For a moment she thought she saw light coming from a loghouse but in a blink of an eye it disappeared so she thought she was just hallucinating and the next thing she knew, the car already stopped in the middle of a creepy dark forest.

"Hey! Let me out!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as if no one could hear her when in fact, there is a man standing just outside the car.

Although she knew that the driver cannot hear her, she saw the man walked to her side and opened the door.

In a state of panic, as soon as the door opens, she dashes out of the car and tried to escape but the man's reflex was quicker than her feet.

The man grabbed her by the wrist and she stumbled back. Her back hit the door of the car and she gasped in pain.

"You'll only get hurt if you try to escape. And if you did escape, I doubt if you'll ever get out of this forest." The driver said then looked around the dark and creepy forest.

Senator Rizza glared at the driver but she cannot see his face clearly because it is too dark. She straightened her body and asked. "Where is General Grady?"

"I'm here." She heard a man spoke but sense that something has changed in his voice. She looked around and found the silhouette of the man that she assumed to be General Grady based on his body physique.

He was gone in a blink of an eye then just came out of nowhere. She wondered where did this old man come because when she looked around, she could see nothing but darkness and silhouette of the creepy trees that seem to be moving and playing with her imagination.

"This way, Senator Rizza."

General Grady stands on her side then lead her on the other side of the car. Senator Rizza hesitated at first because she feels like she is being abducted by General Grady and is being sold off to the Robin Hood Society. That is if what he said that they are in the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society is true.

But what if, General Grady really took her in the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society and is taking her to a secret place where the heiress is hiding?

"Where are you taking me?" She asked before she takes a step.

"To the leader of the Robin Hood Society." General Grady replied, his voice became more different in her ear but Senator Rizza ignored it.

She walked in the direction that General Grady is taking her. Which is just on the other side of the car. She tipped over when she stumbled upon brick or rock that she didn't see because of the darkness. Fortunately, the driver who is just behind her catches her.

"Careful." The driver said.

This doesn't seem like an abduction. Senator Rizza thought to herself. Then she followed General Grady.

After walking to the side of the car, General Grady guided her to turn right. So she followed him. That's when she noticed that they are walking down on a hidden passageway. It was hidden meticulously that no one would notice it's existence. After a few steps, they were literally walking under the forest.

She wonders how General Grady could see the way without light. Unless he has been there for a couple of times and has already familiarized himself with it.

"How did you find out this place?" She asked trying to get some information. Because it feels like she walked into a trap willingly but she is having self-denial.

"Because I am a member of the Society." He said casually.

"But General Grady isn't." The driver behind her added making her confused.

"What do you mean?" she asked but they didn't answer her. She was about to ask again when General Grady stopped and opened a door in front of her.
