Second Chances

Glass

Hana paced back and forth in her apartment by the window that overlooked the ocean, hands trembling as she texted the one person, who can help her.

Glass

The phone immediately started ringing. "Hello?" Hana answers.

Hey, what the hell? I was in a meeting!

Hana took a deep breath, "I'm in deep shit."

I can tell. So, you wanna fill me in?

"Just get to LA." Hana annoyed.

Fine. Then the call ended.

Hana sat on her black leather loveseat. After about five hours of unpacking, Hana stood up and grabbed her keys.

Upon arriving in the middle of the woods Hana sighs grabbing her bag and getting out of her car. Every step deeper into the woods would have scared anyone but not Hana.

A blonde haired tanned skin woman sat on the bench. Hana sighs, "Hey..."

The blonde turned around her stormy gray eyes looked at Hana up and down, "So how deep are you in shit?"

Hana pulls out the envelope and hands it to the blonde, "My paternal grandparents are leaving me the farm..."

"And you fear for your safety?" the blonde asked.

"No," Hana shook her head, "I fear for my love ones lives... if I know my cousins they would stop at nothing to get what they want if it means killing someone they'd do it, without batting an eye. I need protection for my family and friends from my cousins."

"Well, you know what to do..." the blonde nods.

Hana took out her phone and sent two texts: one is for the runaways, Guita, and Andre, "Seventeen!" and the other one is for Pride members, "Trouble!" then unabled the Wizkidtracker, for a good five seconds.

Meanwhile, Nico leaned against the wall of her father's office, as Robert and Tina try and figure out where Hana is. Nico clears her throat, "Hey, maybe, she's in the middle of the woods..."

"What?!" Tina demanded, "How could you come to that conclusion?"

Nico shrugs, "Um... the text she sent was, 'Seventeen!', what is 17 yards away from her new house?" Nico exclaims, "THE WOODS!"

"Or the hills..." Tina explained.

"17 was one of the songs," Nico explained, "in the musical Heathers and Hana's a theatre kid at heart... It makes sense that 'trouble' is the word she texted you cause the biggest conflict occurred in the woods."

"Well, that's a theory..." Tina sighs.

"Its more than what you have!" Nico declared.

"Found her!" Robert exclaimed, "She's in the woods? Guess, you were right."

"Let's go!" Tina orders.

As the Minorus pulled up in front of the woods, Nico felt her heartbeat shot up.

Robert walked ahead of his daughter and his wife, as they came face to face with a lone building in the middle of the woods. Robert knocked on the huge metallic door. "Name." an electronic voice called out.
