Cara pulled up in a cab outside of her parents home. Her mother was on the doorstep waiting for her with open arms. "Oh it's so good to see you baby... are you okay... did they hurt you?.."

"No... I'm just tired mom... where is Indy is she okay?."

She nodded

She nodded. "She's upstairs having a lie down... I'll take you to her..." she added as she led her up the stairs to Indy's room. She knocked on her door. "India... your sister is here...."
There was silence.
"India?...
She turned the door knob and opened the door, the room was empty of her but Darin was sleeping soundly.
"She is maybe in the gardens... I've been busy in the vineyard... you go on to your room and unpack.. then I want you to come and sit with me, let me hold you baby girl, it's been a long time..." she smiled.

Cara headed to her old room, as her mother walked back down stairs. "India!.... INDY...

"She's not here." Lawrence said stopping her from yelling the place down as he walked out of the lounge.

"Where is she!."
Lawrence stayed quiet.
"You've got to be kidding me!.. she's gone to him..." she paused. "And you allowed it...

"It would prove futile for me to stop her... she would find a way.. at least this way, Che can follow and...

"Che... fucking Che... I'm already sick of hearing his name...

"Why Leesa?... why do you despise the boy so much!." He said raising his voice. "Is it because he's my son and not yours!...

"Don't be ridiculous... he is the key to a life you left behind..

"A life our daughter is completely messed up in... if he can help us then let it be... stop acting like he is the problem.. you're the problem...

Leesa glared at him. "What?...

"Mom, dad?... what is all the shouting going on down here." Cara said standing at the bottom of the stairs,
Her father immediately changed up, a smile on his face he pulled his daughter to him and gave her a hug.

"It is good to see you baby." He said and kissed her forehead.

"It is good to see you to dad... why are you arguing.. and where is Indy?" She asked them both, concerned.

Lawrence knew he now had to tell her about Che, he looked at Leesa who shook her head and walked away.

Miller pulled up at the hotel that Eli was staying at. He got out and opened the door of the car for Indy, he led her inside to the lobby.
She was nervous, but also relieved to be seeing him and to be able to talk to him properly just the two of them.
Miller was quiet as they got off of the elevator and he led her along the corridor on the 3rd floor to his room. The closer they got to the room the more Indy's heart began to palpitate.

Miller stopped at the entrance to the penthouse suite. He knocked and the door opened. He looked at Indy and gestured for her to go on inside. He followed her in.
A couple of his security were just inside the door. Miller nodded for them to step outside. "Boss!.." he then called.
