I worked fast on my laptop while listening to Lily and Nia through the wireless headphones daddy had bought me. I had to get a lot done because I know as soon as daddy thinks of it I'll be grounded and he'll take my computer privileges away. Bunny wasn't here with me but I knew he was with the triplets, he likes to stand guard while they sleep, which gives me some free time. Bunny likes a lot of attention when I'm home. "I think you should tell her what we've got so far. It's about her after all.""I know Lily but she's not like us, Caitie's very soft, something like this might scare her.""I agree with Lily, I think you should tell her. That way at least she'd know and she'd be more careful." "But we still don't know who he is, we just have a general location.""Well from what we have so far he's not that far from where you are. Maybe your daddy already knows about him.""I don't think so, if he did the uncles would be here already." "Well my mo

I heard engines outside and looked at my watch. It was a bit early for my crew and their women to be showing up, the BBQs around here never kick off until about six or seven. Besides, that didn't sound like bikes out there. Probably Elena and her hen pack, though that sounded like way too many engines. Mancini and I had been working, he on that thing he carries around in his pocket that seems to hold a wealth of information and me on my computer. We'd got rid of Mengele's shit and had made doubly sure that there were no more surprises because I didn't trust her ass not to have something else on my shit that she 'forgot' to tell us about. "You wanna take a break? I can't find anything. The guys Mengele and her girls found are too far out for it to be them who are after Caitiebear, though I do think they might lead us somewhere." "I agree, though they're part of the bigger picture, something to work on in the near future.""No doubt, but I want to find these ass

I saw aunt Cierra coming and got my words ready. I knew she would find out soon anyway once daddy and the uncles got the truth out of me. I didn't mean to play a trick on her but I had to get them all here fast. It was fun in the beginning putting all the pieces together but now I'm getting scared. The man took me before and nobody knows where he is now. I don't know if it's the same one, Lily and Nia don't think so, but I can't be sure. I didn't mention to daddy that I'm afraid though, because then he won't even let me go into the backyard alone again. He'd done that the last time and I hated it. This time Caitie's the one in trouble and I don't want my sister to be scared like I was so I'll do anything even if it makes everybody mad for a while. "Hi aunty Cierra do you like your surprise?""Surprise?""Uh-huh, I knew uncle Hank was worried about you travelling to uncle Law's house in the car so I got everyone to come here instead. I didn't want aunty Ariel

I hadn't seen Mengele in about five minutes and with shit being what it is was sure that was not a good thing. I was still trying to come to terms with everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours. We'd spent more time this afternoon trying to figure out how three eight year old kids had pieced that shit together than anything else. As a dad it's hard to discipline your kid when the shit she's done could save lives. Mancini was all for her carrying on as long as she was safe, but I'm not too sure I want my little girl that invested in this shit. If I leave it to him this fuck would have my kid in some basement somewhere hunting down assholes. He'd already looked into her two new friends and was campaigning hard for us to call their parents and let them in on what their kids were up to. The only problem with that was the fact that we'd have to let them in on why the kids were doing that shit in the first place, so we'd all agreed that we'd hold off on that

That was just a few short hours ago and now we're in the backyard eating BBQ and chilling like nothing happened. I didn't have time to dwell on it because this Davey kid who was an honorary brother of the SEALs from what I could gather seemed way too fond of my girl. Cady has been asleep on my chest in the sling thing her mom had got me when the baby refused to stay with anyone else but me, something I didn't mind or wouldn't have if I didn't feel like I was gonna have to kick Davey's ass any second. Lucky for him my girl only had eyes for me. Some of her friends had been invited over and it was our first time hanging as a couple even though it was in her parents' backyard so she was excited. I hadn't seen the other women since we came back here, other than when one or more of them came out to grab a plate, but now they were coming out of the house in droves. And there were a lot of them. As usual the men were off to one side, I'd been over there with th
