I've already reset the security and call it extreme, but | am the only one who can now access the prison and
security. Without my permission, no one leaves.
A move that | know will only putat further risk, but | can’t trust anyone anymore
| can still trust my friends...
But can I?
| hate that I'm beginning to doubt everyone, but | can’t help it.
| go over to my awaiting car and open the driver's seat.
“Please get out,” | say.
“Ma’am, is everything ok?”
“Yes,” | say. “I'm taking the car, and you will not tell anyone.”
Once again, the alpha command rolls off my tongue with ease.
“Yes, Alpha.” He bows his head and | get in, placing my bag down on the passenger
seat and starting the car. | zoom off.
| need to get to Mom's old house, but | need to make sure no one follows. If Zade was
in the house that day, there was a high chance he heard what Mom said... maybe,
maybe not....
| drive away from pack grounds and when | reach one of the narrow roads | park my
car, and quickly pull on a black coat and a blond wig. | step out of the car, continuing
the rest of the way on foot.

I'm carrying a large tote bag which holds a gun and a few other supplies.
Under the stairs...

| messed up.
With a heavy heart, | look at the windows. Thecurtains still hang in the windows
and a part offeels that perhaps | could walk up to that door and knock...
And maybe, maybe she'll open it and hug me, tellingit'll be ok...
| was angry at you Mom... but | didn’t want you to leave...
Brushing away a tear, | remain in the shadows. The neighbours around here have
always been nosy....
| make my way around the back of the house, keeping hidden as | inch closer to the
house.
Once | cross the patio, | know the neighbours can’t seeand | quickly get to work
on the back door. | manage to break the lock quickly and slip inside, shutting the
door quietly behind me.
The sound echoes in the silence despite how quietly | shut it and I look around the
dark kitchen. The dust particles that were disturbed by my entry waft through the
air and | glance around the kitchen.
It looks the same, just Mom's homely touch is missing.
She’s gone.
She'll never makeanother meal... never giveanother hug... despite her flaws, she was a good mother... |
just wish | realised that sooner.
How many people live with grudges and only when that person is gone do we
realise it's too late...
Too late to say | love you one final time... too late to hold them for another moment...
The pain of losing her hitslike a freight train and | drop into one of her chairs, resting my elbows on the
table. | take a moment to reminisce on the twe've
spent together.
It's peaceful...
After several minutes, | stand up with a heavy heart, shouldering my bag and leave

the kitchen, walking over to the closet under the stairs.
Pulling back the lock, I pull open the door. It creaks loudly, and | glance around the hall before | step into the
closet.
Taking my gun out, | cock the trigger, placing it down gently beside me.
No, | don’t think anyone is here, but you can never be too careful...
There are a few boxes and an old raincoat in here. | move the stuff aside. From the
layer of dust that covers them, it’s clear they haven't been touched. | then pull up the lino flooring and feel
around for the floorboards, hoping one might be looser.

She did say at the back... none seem to be loose, and | reach into my bag, taking out
one of the screwdrivers | had brought withand begin prying it loose.
Once | get the first one up, | manage to loosen two more, much easier. Taking out my
phone, | shine the light underneath.
Where is it?
| scrabble around, feeling under the floorboards as | begin ripping more up. | cough,
trying not to inhale too much dust.
I've taken apart all the floorboards under the stairs but...
Did I misunderstand her?
| feel and check every corner and niche.
My heart sinks as | realise there's nothing here.
A dead end...
Once again, another failure.
