different people, always changing them so no one knew the whereabouts of all the traps, the bunkers and so on." She looked over to Dan.
"I remember that week. You wouldn't come out of your room and Maya was furious. All of you stayed inside that week," Dan said, and she nodded.
"We didn't trust ourselves to go out. My cat wanted to hunt and so did Maya's and when your cat has a target..." She shook her head. "It just wasn't safe for us to go out. We would have hurt someone and the other women knew we were wound up, which in turn had them acting up. No, that week was bad. It was one of the reasons we kept you away from the compound." Lacey frowned and looked over at Anthony who leaned against the counter, watching the steaks.
"Has there been any movement on the warehouse in Detroit?"
"No, it's been rather quiet. Why?" He frowned and stared at her.
"I was thinking we could stay..." Every single male in the room yelled “NO” at the same time. "Well, jeez, bite my head off. I just thought since we are going back to see Dan's parents...plus there is plenty of room there. We could pack up a few things while we were there and have them shipped back to California." She hedged looking back at him.
"No. You are not going anywhere near that place. One, Koti knows where it is and he can get in. Two, we'll be staying at Dan's place so we can help him pack his belongings. Now, if you want something there, I'd be happy to have someone stop by and pick whatever you need." She actually crossed her arms and pouted.
He threw his head back and laughed so hard Isaac had tears in his eyes. Even Akaos was grinning.
Chapter Four
"Damn it, Isaac! I need to go there. None of us knew we were going to be staying in California. Everything is there. Just like Dan, I'd like time to pack up my things. Plus, there is a place I can run my cat. She hasn't been out for a run in over two months." God, Lacey hated to beg, but she needed to go home. The only remaining items belonging to her mother and siblings where there. Plus, she wasn't lying; her cat wanted to run and the thought of that new playhouse that Maya had created for them had her cat itching to go.
"I know we could bring the other women too. That way there will be more of us in case something does happen, which I don't think it will since we had a whole new alarm system installed last month. I know for a fact, Abby would love to go. Her sister’s belongings are there." Lacey turned in Isaac's lap. "Please, we all need to go home for a little while. Being cooped up in that castle is driving everyone insane."
"What’s the difference between the castle and the warehouse? It's the same amount of space," Akaos said, frowning.
She shook her head. "No, it's not." Lacey looked around for paper and pen. "Hold on," she got up and ran in the hall yanking open a small desk drawer and pulling out a pad and a pencil.
Turning, Lacey caught Isaac staring at her ass and she laughed. "Cool it. This is important to all of us." She climbed back onto his lap and placed a quick kiss on his lips.
"Akaos, you were only in a small part of our home." Lacey mumbled and started to draw hopping they would understand her scribble. "The one warehouse you were in held our dining area, Maya's room, and a few others. Oh and our family room, but what you didn't know was there was a hidden tunnel connecting all of the other five warehouses. One we used as a storage area, two others were personal rooms, including mine. This one,” she said, pointing to her illustration, “was just purchased, so it's empty, but this one Maya created for all of us. It's huge and like a jungle inside. Trees, a pond, things to climb and enough room to run. Acres, Isaac. She did this for all of us. The last night we were there Maya showed it to us. We have tunnels under all of this." She sat up and looked at Akaos and frowned.
"What? What's wrong?" She didn't like the look on his face at all.
"If you'll excuse me," Akaos nodded
