The car jostled under us as the men climbed back in, and I

watched Rika as she waited.

As soon as their doors slammed shut, she pulled ours

closed, masking the sound, and the interior went dark as the

guys shifted into gear and shot off in reverse.

I let out a breath.

If that hadn’t worked, I would’ve killed Rika.

But it did, so… Fine, whatever.

The car turned around, and I heard the gate start to close as

we sped down the back road toward the house.

It was only a few hundred yards, but this was faster and we

travelled undetected. GGood plan.

Once the car slowed, we got ready, and as the guys killed

the engine and opened their doors, we slipped out, quietly

pushing the back door closed again and diving off to the side

of the garage where my father kept his cars and motorcycles.

“GGo!” I whisper-yelled to Will, letting him lead us to the

next building which would curve us around the side of the

house for a better view.

We crept over, hiding in an alcove on the side and taking in

the surroundings. I heard the guys in the shop, doing whatever

they did in their downtime, but I knew there was another shift

on the property, making the rounds.

“Now what?” Rika asked.

“The armory is in the clubhouse,” I told them.

“GGuns?” she blurted out. “That was your plan?”

“You got a better one?”

“We take him,” she said.

“Huh?”

She sighed, looking impatient. “We have no idea where

they are or if they’re even here?” she explained. “After we got

you out, he might not think right under your nose is a great

spot to hide them. We take him, and we have leverage.”
