The car stopped in front of a glassy gate which I assume to be our destination. After the security check, they open the gate and Mike keeps driving. Just when I thought I've seen it all, Mike parked in front of a huge mansion. Everything about this place screams money! I can't help but gasp at the sight of the beautiful castle standing right in front of me. Of course, Mike didn't miss the surprised look on my face, as he smiled at me through the front mirror.

he says to the guard with his usual tone. "Sir! I am sorry, I can't open the gates for any of them! Order from the General sir!" he says standing at alert. Bellman stares at the guard for a few seconds, his head almost increasing in size and asks for his name. "Tony sir! Tony Woods sir!" "Hmmmm well Samuel, I guess you can run along and go tell the good general that a certain Tony woods is threatening to destroy the city by refusing to let in our source of survival."

Instantly, I look out the window and the first thing I see is a big navy blue building surrounded by numerous guards and bound by a very tall metal fence with electric wires at the top. “Welcome to Robertson Behavioural Management School. Your home for the next year…at the very least.”

"He’s here, Ash. He used my name. He asked about the shore." ​"Of course he did," Ashton replied, his tone hardening. "Because his soul remembers even if his brain is broken. But don't give him everything yet. I’m standing at the security gate. They won't let me in because I’m not on the 'Golden List,' but I can see the lights from here." ​"I'll come down. I'll get you in."

I then turned and noticed the house was three stories. Jarren led me over to the door and opened it. Inside, there was a swimming pool as well as a built-in hot tub. There was a wall separating another room that had a sliding door. We walked in, and there was a plasma TV, couches, and a fridge. This was definitely Jarren’s “man cave.” I made my way back outside and sat at one of the tables. Jarren sat across from me as I looked around at everything again. “Do you like it?” he questioned after a moment.

Holds the doorknob and opens it with a single swoop. "Aaaaa!!!"

she raised her shoulder showing her submission. "Be safe Logan and thank you." I bid my last goodbye to Logan as he also did the same for us. I clutched Tutti's hand and we went for the gates. "No. Jodi..." Nick stopped me before I could touch the gates. "Open them!" He ordered Dresden. I looked him in the eyes for questioning. "Electricity runs through the whole fence. Look at there," Nick pointed to a small camera like device over the opening of the gate. "That's a motion sensor device that recognizes a number of people and the gate only open to those few." He explained furthermore.

I went straight for the maintenance panel in the ceiling of the lounge. I popped the latch, my fingers trembling. The satellite router was a mess of glowing lights and tangled wires. I found the primary uplink port and snapped the bridge into place. A tiny green light on the device began to blink. Handshake established. I pulled out my phone and checked the signal. A new, encrypted network popped up: PROJECT_REVENGE.

"Lea, we're at your house. You need to open the gate, alright?" "What? I don't understand you, Iris. I'm just cold." My patience is slowly picking down. My jaw tightened as I tried to open their gate. But then, I realized that the gate has a smart lock. It needed a fingerprint and a pin to access. Oh fuck. What will happen to us now that she's drunk? "Lea, what's the pin of your gate?" "Oh, the pin?" "Yes." "It's five, one, one, one, two, eight."
