"Aideen? Harrison's family is your family," Christiana said placing her hand on my shoulder - Family is blood, not an in-law. Rolling my eyes as I was defeated in my defence. I grabbed the tablet that Jack had in his hands "Hey!! What the fu - What did the security footage say?" I interrupted his whining.
Jack hesitantly spoke, looking at Harrison in shock before he let out a sigh. "The security footage from the warehouse showed it was burnt from the inside," Jack spoke as I looked at the footage on the tablet.
It was very glitchy and hard to see. If it was burnt from the inside out, why is there no leftover metal structure from the burnt warehouse? Plus, if burnt from inside, the cameras wouldn't survive? There was still rubble and a few unfinished burnt craters - A spark of realization struck.
"I call bullshit"
"AIDEEN!!" Nonna spoke in shock at my tone. "What? It is true - " Shrugging my shoulders. "- How would you know?" Harrison asked, crossing his arms. Throwing the tablet backwards in the air, Jack caught it before it hit the ground.
"Well Mister, first, the grass around the warehouse is untouched, as there is a perfect burnt black box surrounding the warehouse - " I spoke pointing at the ground " - meaning this fire was controlled", Walking closer to the rubble for a closer inspection, "As well as not all the things inside the warehouse are fully burnt to ash - "
" - Meaning this Warehouse was burnt from the outside, inward. It was a controlled gasoline fire. They swapped the camera footage from Harrisons' burnt warehouse with mine". Turning back to face the group, all eyes on me.
"Alright so now we know the truth. How can we fix this?" Christiana asked the group. "Do you have a bar or another place where it could be a target?" I asked Antonio as he shook his head no. "No, not that I am aware of, Harrison?" he looked back and asked. "Yeah, the lighthouse is my exclusive club"
And that's where they will attack next.

Parking our cars a few blocks away, trunks filled with a bag of guns and ammunition - just in case we needed help. The only rule in Light House is that No Weapons are allowed if you are caught with one, you are killed with your weapon.
But you know me - I don't like rules, neither does Christiana - So we indulged the rules.
Hiding a gun underneath my short silk dress of white Swarovski crystals. Christiana had her throwing knives underneath her short black dress with an open string back, sinching her body. All wearing earpieces to talk among ourselves, we all headed into Light House.
