Four asked."Your estate, it has the highest walls, the best security system, most defensible position,"Four looked at me, I saw fear in his eyes but also trust, "If we do this, we do it right, Full lockdown, Armed guards, Surveillance on every approach, no weak points,""Agreed,"We made calls, Beverly and Thomas arrived first, Beve
