Leilani gasped upon hearing that it was police outside. The laws in Ivar were strict and it would be very difficult to prove your innocence in a matter like this. Two men were lying in their pool of blood in her house and one was held hostage in the dining area, while another two were dreadland soldiers, the public enemies of Ivar. Ethan and Keith would definitely be used as scapegoats if the police were to arrest them. “What do we do?” she whispered in a panicked voice. Ethan had to think on his feet. From his peripheral vision, he caught a glimpse of a staircase that descended. “Is that the basement?” He asked her. She nodded. “I keep old things there and some of my tailoring materials for my business too.”“Keith, help me drag these bodies downstairs. Leilani, try to mop the blood stains off the walls, if you have some red watercolor, that would be great too, give the kids some, make it look like they’re painting.”The doorbell rang again, making everybody tense up and hurry wi

The officer faced Leilani, shooting her a suspicious glare. She was standing in the distance so she couldn’t make out what the policemen were discussing, one thing she knew for sure was that they didn’t trust her. She gently pulled Keith aside to the corner. “These men are starting to suspect something, what do we do?” she whispered. Getting caught would be very detrimental to them, in this country there would be no way to save them. The government would most likely order for the execution of Keith and Ethan just for the mere fact that they were dreadland soldiers. He held Leilani’s hands tight. “Don’t worry, just act natural, they don’t have the right to search the whole house, they don’t have a search warrant. I’ll let them search a little and then demand they leave for privacy purposes.”As they were rounding up their discussion and coming out of the corner, so were the men. “Why are these children crying?” the brown haired one asked. “I thought they were just playing with their

The police officer near the door and Leilani held her breath in anticipation. Ethan who was on the other side pressed his hands against Bruno's mouth. It was either sudden movement that had caused the sound inside because he had unintentionally toppled over something and it dropped to the ground with a thud.Keith formed a fist with his hand, ready to attack. There was a buzz coming from the officer's pocket, it was the screeching sound of his communicator or buzzing.He picked it up and brought it near his mouth. “Officer Brian, there's a case of theft at liberty lane and the suspect is on the move, I repeat the suspect is on the move!” The Voice from the other side of the receiver called. The officer shared a look with his partner, of course they had to do something. “This is an emergency and we have to attend to it, but we will be back.” With that the two officers left the house and rushed into their car then drove off. Leilani let out a breath she didn't even know she was hold

She was in the room that Stacey had reserved for them. It was two people per room, and since they were sisters she and Renée took the same room.Monica and Janet would be staying together in another room. Stacey and her husband were sharing the last room together. Their relatives would start trooping in any moment from tomorrow as it was a 3-day event. However the bridesmaids arrived a bit earlier so they could help Stacey with the planning. Valerie's eyes were glued to the ceiling as she was sprawled out on the bed. Earlier when she confronted her sister about who she was calling, Renee just told her that since her car got destroyed in the accident and still in police custody, she was calling the dealer for another one. But she knew it was a lie because right now all the money available was being geared towards campaigns. She knew her father Clifford very well, this was not the time he would be willing to spend money to get a brand new car for Renee.However she didn't want to pre

Ethan adjusted the rear view mirror and he saw the cop cars pulling up in the house. However their car was already ahead and moving away. “I don't think they realized we've left,” Keith said, peering at the cops through the side mirrors. The policemen were armed and circling the house with guns trained.He took a deep breath and kept driving. The police would certainly find the dead bodies in the house and then would probably order a manhunt for them. So whatever they had to do, they had to be fast about it.“Are you sure this place Frank is showing us is safe and secure? Can you even trust Frank?” Ethan asked. Keith nodded. “If I could trust him with my family all these years while I was away, then yes I can trust them.”Bruno was tied up in the trunk and Ethan was planning to use him to find out where Cyrus was located. They kept driving for a while and eventually got stuck in traffic.“Oh my sorry I forgot to tell you, you shouldn't have taken this route. It can get really busy
