TEN

HOURS LATER they arrived in Utah. More specifically at Ali's rental property. "Welcome to my home." The blonde explained, throwing her hands in the air.
    "Woah. Mom, where did you get the money for this?" Vance asked in astonishment, stretching his body. "Don't worry about it." She smiled, winking at him.

"It's beautiful." Sadie smiled at the house. "Probably won't be in a few weeks." Baylen mumbled but Ali heard. "You've gotta hide in plain sight. No one ever suspects the largest house." She answered.

"Now go in and I'll make everyone tea then I'll explain everything." They all nodded. Blue and Vance threw their bags over their shoulders, walking up to the large house.
      When they opened the door, the inside was beautiful. Blue looked at Vance with confusion. She knew they always had trouble with money and this was the last thing they both expected from her.

Mason limped inside with his crutches, looking around at the beautiful interior. "Damn." He said out loud. Blue smiled softly before pulling Vance to the side.
"I'm worried." She whispered. "Same. There's no way she could've been able to pay for this. Even if she's just renting it." Vance whispered.

"Maybe someone else is paying for it." She shrugged. "Okay, everyone sit!" They heard Ali yell. They obeyed, sitting at the large dining table.
    "How did you find us?" Vance asked.

"Good question, so, Mandy had told me y'all were on the run again and I wasn't going to let you do this by yourself again so I sorta kinda followed you. But once y'all ran into the woods and started that fire I lost you. Thankfully, based on pure luck, I saw you get into a truck. Followed you to the hospital than held the guy hostage." Everyone looked at each other.

"Where is that guy?" "In the basement. I'll go let him out." Ali smiled, getting up to let him out. Blue looked at everyone with a confused expression. "What?" She mouthed. Everyone else shrugged.
         Both blondes stumbled up to the table. The guy was thrown on the ground, his hands tied and his mouth was stuffed with a rag.

"Ladies and gents, this is Noah." Ali introduced him. Blue immediately stood up, yanking the rag from his mouth. "Jesus! What the hell is going on?!" He immediately spoke.

"He doesn't even know why he's here?!" Blue accidentally shouted at Ali. Vance grabbed at his hair before standing up himself.
       "He doesn't need to know." "Mom, you literally kidnapped him!" Vance bit back. "But it was for a good cause." Ali tried to reason.

Baylen rested his head against the table, slamming it down a few times before looking back at them. "Noah, seat yourself." Ali told him, cutting the ropes off his hands. He fell to the floor but got back up.
      It was fair to say he looked traumatized.

He sat down, putting his head in his hands. Blue and Vance took their seats as did Ali. "Noah, I'll explain everything to you later. Now, more questions." She spoke, clasping her hands together.

"How'd you afford this place?" Vance asked curiously. "I have my ways." She answered. Vance rolled his head back before looking back at her. "That's not an answer." Ali shook her head at him.
        "Patience." She replied.

Questions were thrown left and right. Most of them were pathetic answers but they weren't gonna push for better. "This is a two story house so some bedrooms will be downstairs and upstairs." Ali told them.
          "Vance and Blue, upstairs. Mason and Sadie, upstairs. Baylen, downstairs. Noah, downstairs. I'll be in the basement so no funny business." She said, pointing at the two couples.

"There is clothing up there you can take. Choose a bathroom and I don't really care what you do just don't murder anybody. I'm going to go catch up on some T.V. Y'all have a good night." She said before leaving.
