Evening - Weston Villa

The gates opened soundlessly as the black SUV pulled into the estate. The Weston villa was quiet, surrounded by trees that seemed older than time, and hidden behind rows of elite estates that knew better than to ask questions.

Emma Grace was in the passenger seat, window halfway down, braid pulled over one shoulder.

Emma:
"You think she built this place just for emergencies?"

Hannah Marie (driving):
"No. She built it for war."

They pulled into the underground garage - automatic lights flicking on as they passed through layers of biometric locks.

As they entered through the back corridor, the inside revealed itself slowly:

-Black marble floors

-Gray matte walls

-Glass doors with reinforced steel frames

-A wine cellar that doubled as a vault

-Panic rooms disguised as guest bathrooms

-A private medical station, still untouched

And two rooms already marked for them: aliases on the doors, fresh clothing in the closets

The kitchen was pristine. The conference room had voice recognition. The armory... well-stocked.

Emma (standing in the hallway):
"She set all this up while pretending to be dead."

Hannah:
"Of course she did. It's Isa."

They dropped their bags, changed into joggers, and padded barefoot into the main living space, where the fireplace crackled.

The Dobermann, already stationed at the villa from earlier that day, sat upright near the window. The German Shepherd had wandered into the kitchen, sitting like a statue near the fridge.

Emma (sipping tea):
"You ever think we're the last people she trusts?"

Hannah (after a long pause):
"No. I know we are."

Emma:
"Good. Because if anyone tries her again... I'll end them before she gets the chance."

Hannah (grinning):
"Team effort. Triple trouble, remember?"

Midnight - Security Room, Weston Villa

Emma sat in front of the multi-screen setup, feet on the desk, watching live feeds from both villas, the compound, and the police station.

Emma:
"McDonald's camera picked her up. Cops are watching."

Hannah (walking in with a donut):
"Think she knows?"

Emma:
"She always knows."
