I follow Mrs. Sanders in through the side door into a large kitchen. Granite countertops, large wooden cabinets, possibly cedar, top of the line appliances, all stainless. A chef was standing over a pot of what I assumed was soup. I could spy 2 cameras in one corner of the room, pretty well hidden. I only saw them because I know what to look for.

I hear En chime in my ear when I look at the chef. "James Hunter from New York. 43 and married to Lily Hunter formally Lily Ganet. 2 kids, 1 grand kid. Been a five-star chef for years and has worked here since September of last year."

"I need to look into this facial recognition software."

Mrs. Sanders introduces me to the man, well James. "Hunter this here is Ms. Jude Smith. She is the newest recruit to our little 'family'." For some reason 'family' did not sit right with me.

"Well nice to meet you girly. I'm James. What are you 25?"

Ha! I wish. "I'm actually 29, sir." I 'shyly' duck my head as I lie.

"Ah. Enough with that sir, I feel old enough as it is."

"Alright si-er...Um James." I give him a small smile.

Mrs. Sanders walks over to another door and beckons to me. "Come 'long my dear."

I dip my head to James and follow her through the intricate oak door. We enter into a grand dining room.

"Woah." A mahogany 12 seater table and grand decor everywhere and the room is painted a blood red.

"Yes. It is purty ain't it? Nothin' but the best for Mr. McKinley." Mrs. Sanders laughs quietly when she sees my shock.

I bite back my grammar nazi. "Yes. Mr. McKinley, the head of the household, right?"

"Yes'm. He actually picked you out of three."

"Really?" I wonder why me? "I would have figured his secretary or something picked me....or you picked me."

"Well his secretary picked the top three and then he picked you. You are one lucky girl."

"Yea. Lucky." I follow her through the house, mentally drawing a map. Each room has at least one camera in it and all have 'hidden' servant doors. After awhile we came to a normal, at least in comparison to the rest of them, door.

"This is the entrance to the basement. You do not enter unless specifically asked by Mr. McKinley or his...son.

"I haven't found anything about a son or even a wife."

"Me either."

"He has a son?"

"Yes. Adopted him about 20 when ago, when the boy was about 15. His name is Ryu McKinley, although his original surname was Ono, I think."

It takes all that I could not to panic. No. Not possible. My estranged brother. He shouldn't be alive.
