"Where are we going?" Natalia asks as she and Robin get into an SUV with Sadie and Bella. Dacre and Briar ride in a second SUV, and Jenna, Sabrina, and Finn in a third.

"A surprise," the redhead answers from the front seat. The SUVs drive out of the Estate. They go to a warehouse an hour outside of the Estate, in a smaller town.

"Warehouse party?" Sabrina questions as they exit the SUVs.

"No, just come on," Sadie answers. She takes Bella's hand and leads her in. The brunette genuinely has no idea what Sadie is planning.

"Holy shit," Jenna comments as they walk in. The warehouse is full of animals. Animals of all kinds; dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, snakes, fish, and more.

"You can get anything you want, it's on me," Sadie announces, as a woman comes over.

"Ah, Sadie! How wonderful to see you again!" she hugs the redhead.

"Elena, this is my girlfriend Bella," the redhead introduces, "Briar and Dacre, Natalia and Robin, Jenna, Sabrina, and Finn."

"Welcome! Are they all looking today? Anything specific?" the blonde asks.

"I'm not sure if they're looking, I surprised them," Sadie explains, "But Elena can get you anything."

"Yes! Just let me know if you are looking for anything specific. The place is yours to roam," Elena smiles.

"Okay," Robin answers.

"Thank you," Dacre says. Everyone takes off in different directions, looking at different animals.

"So what do you think?" Sadie asks Bella as they walk past a number of kennels and enclosures.

"It's cool. How did she get all these animals?" the brunette asks.

"She's a breeder and trader, it's her job," the redhead explains, "See anything you like?"

"I'm picking one out?" Bella questions.

"I mean, you don't have to, but I thought you might like having a dog or cat to have around. Or whatever you want really," the mafia boss says.

"I've never had a pet before," Bella admits.

"That's okay, I'll assign someone to care for it. You could help by all means too if you wanted."

"And I can have anything?" Bella says with a smirk. Sadie smiles seeing the girl get excited.

"Yes, Darling," the redhead answers. Bella starts to really look around, seeing all different kinds of animals. Sadie keeps looking around at two German Shepherd puppies in a kennel off to the side of the warehouse, "Puppies?"

"What kind of puppies?" Bella asks, looking. The redhead points them out and they walk over, "oh, they're so cute!"

"They are. Good guard dogs too," the mafia boss adds.

"Can we have both?" the brunette asks.

"Of course. Hey, Elena!" Sadie shouts. The blonde woman comes over, "Name your price for the pups."

"Well, actually, I'm afraid these pups are already sold to a different client," Elena frowns, "that's why they're off to the side."

Bella frowns.

"But, my bitch is having another litter in a month or so, you can have the first pick," the woman offers. Sadie turns to her girlfriend.

"Is that okay, cara mia? We can look at more puppies, I'm sure Elena has more," the redhead looks at Elena, not wanting Bella to be disappointed.
