The Sinclair Estate

Alec thought this over, then nodded. "Yes you can. Just keep it out of sight." He couldn't have a attendee freaking out form seeing a gun. That would be all they needed. Then Bella could never leave. But that's what he needed. "Anything else?"

[rourkey]

"Nope i should be ok... I Suppose i will get all the codes on the night?" He didnt need them there wasnt an electric lock anywhere in the verse he couldnt hack. "Does the house have like a main secyrity terminal or something?" Sylar asked. "Because i could rig it to cause a pretty good distraction if its needed." He thoght something like a power cut or an alarm in another part of the house to distract security should suffice.

Alec walked across the hall to a small room. Opening it, it was an ordinary sitting room. But when you opened up a cabinet, there was a small electrical system. "This is it. You'll get them the night before and you could set the alarm off. But they'd all leave, which we want them to stay in the ball room so they can't see her escape. Nor me distracting her." Alec would get her alone. He'd catch her in the hall and talk to her there.

Sylar walked over to the security teminal and tapped a few keys "Heh, this is a hell of a security system for such an old house... The old lady must be very proud of what she keeps here..." He continued to look it over "If its needed i can put the whole ballroom in lockdown, which would buy you some ime if you need it. But the downside is it might bring on some feds.."

[takeyouaway]

Alec nodded. Lockdown would work. “Yeah we could lock it down. It takes about ten minutes for the feds to show up.” Alec walked around a moment, admiring it all. “She is very proud of it. Won’t let anyone near anything in here. Each night it’s all set and every time she leaves. You have to move cautiously.” Her prized possession though? Her granddaughter.

[rourkey]

"OK No Problem" He pulled out his pocket computer and kept pushing buttons on the terminal "Just a bit more... and done! I've rigged it so that i can remotely start the lock down from anywhere on the grounds." Sylar looked over to Alec "Is there anything else i need to see?"

[takeyouaway]

Alec shook his head, amazed by the guy. “No nothing else. You can sleep now if you’d like.” They’d all need their energy for when the ball came around. That was for sure. Alec would stay up for a little bit though.

[rourkey]

Sylar smiled. Sleep sounded great. "OK I will do that." Sylar said. He then turned back to the terminal breifly and returned it to how he found it. It would take a real genius with computers to notice what he had set up. He grinned. Proud of his work. He then left the sitting room and headed back to his bedroom. He undressed, lay down and fell asleep.

Alec watched Sylar leave. Nodding his head goodnight, he decided to stay behind a bit. He walked dup to Bella’s room to packed few more clothes that she would need. Disengaging the alarm to her room, he walked quietly up the stairs.

Opening the door, he walked in to Bella’s room. It was nearly untouched don the surface. Her cut crystal glasses of her favorite perfume, shampoos, conditioners and lotions scattered the vanity. Her touched each one, breathing in he aroma. Nothing was in the original container at Laline’s orders. Her jewelry box, framed photos, and a few books were left on the dresser. Her book shelf filled with countless others read numerous times.

Turning to the closet, he threw out all her shirts. No one came into the drawers nor closet. He knew most of the fancy things she wouldn’t need. But one of her less poofy gowns and a couple dressy outfits were thrown in. SO were all her undergarments and pajamas. Minus most of the silk and satin ones. He knew Bella enough to know she wouldn’t want those.

Folding all her tops and a few skirts up, he packed them in the last of the three suitcases. Most folded easily. The suitcases were large, so they fit her well. She didn’t want many clothes. Just enough to live with. One had her undergarments, pajamas and the gown. The other shirts and her nice outfits. The last all her skirts and her sole pair of jeans. They were larger and more bulky then the rest.

Snapping the lock, her turned to the light weight trunk. Opening it, he fingered what was already inside which half filled it. It would only be about three quarters full when down. All of Bella’s treasured books were in here as well as her photo albums. Her childhood bear sat in the corner with her baby blanket folded underneath it. Shells form the beach were in a small bag. Grabbing the photo album he leafed through it. Smiling, he touched their smiling faces. He missed the times of innocence. Where there was only them.

But he would get her back.

Resettling everything, he closed the trunk softly. All her perfume, lotions and jewelry would be packed right before she left. Going down the stairs softly, he reactivated the alarm. Then moving out of the house, he slipping into the servants house. He washed himself up before sliding into bed. Fatigue washed over him as he slipped into a sweet slumber.
