The fact that she had gotten the gun inside the compound without being found out and questioned was a miracle. Add on that it had been sitting in her dresser drawer, buried underneath neatly folded clothes, for weeks now without somebody deciding to snoop and find it? Cassidy should have purchased a lottery ticket. Instead, the secret that she and Emilia shared kept her up at night, bright blue hues piercing through the darkness and staring so intently at the drawer that one might wonder how she hadn’t burnt a hole through the wood. Cass knew that she would do anything for Emilia, she had known that for a while...but this was something she had never expected.
She couldn’t keep it there. Sooner or later somebody would find it and that could very well be the end of her. Of course, Cass had considered her options...a girl with a gun was powerful, but a girl with a gun right in the center of the pit of those who had inflicted so much pain upon her? She could be deadly. But what then? One gunshot and her life would be over, even if she managed to take one herself.
It was late when she pulled the gun from its hiding place and made her way across the courtyard. The light was still on in his office window - Cassidy had no doubt that Zephyr chose strategizing over sleep most nights, especially when the Kovalis were in this much trouble. Before she knew it, Cass was at his door, knocking and entering shortly thereafter. “Zephyr...I need to give you something...”
