"Hey am I not coming with you today?" Bayliy asked Austin as he tried leaving the house the next morning. "No my mother has a shopping trip planned for you all. I'll let you know if and when I need you" he replied not looking at her face. He left the house in a hurry after that.

Bayliy smirked to herself, he thought that by putting distance between them this was going to make him feel better. "Okay girls ready to go?" Claire asked walking into the kitchen.

"Oh shit I have to get something from my room" Bayliy shot up, "me too be back in a minute" Another girl said. "Be quick" Claire called after them as they walked up the stairs.

Bayliy went straight to Austin's room and pulled out a spare key she made from her pocket. She closed the door behind her and went straight to the closet, she pulled the pictures out and chose the one she thought would rattle him the most. She slipped it into her pocket before leaving the room and locking it again.

She went into her own room and got a small handbag pushing the picture in then joined the rest of the girls in the car. "Okay girls just get a few things that you need only" Claire instructed them as the van pulled outside the mall. The guards followed them in.

"Um I gotta go to the bathroom" Bayliy spoke up, "Okay go ahead but met us in Victoria's Secret when you're done" Claire said. Bayliy thanked her lucky stars that the guards didn't follow her.

Once they were out of sight she rushed through the mall to the printing shop. "Hello how can I help you?" A guy asked coming up to her. "Yeah I'm in a really big rush it's my friends birthday and I really want to get these copied" she said pulling the picture out and showing it to him.

"Sure I can do it for you now" he said leading her to the other end of the store. "Thank you so much you have no idea how much that will help me" Bayliy said with a wide grin on her face as she followed him. It's just going to take a minute" he said putting it into the printer.

"How much?" She asked him, "five dollars" he replied. She pulled the money out and gave it to him. "There you go" he said handing her the fresh copy. "Can I get a pen and an envelope?" She asked, "sure " he handed the things to her. Bayliy scribbled something down on the back of the picture quickly, before pushing it into the envelope.

"Thank you" she said grabbing her things and running out of the store, she pushed the new and the old pictures back into her bag and slowed her steps when she got closer to the store and saw the guards.

"Hey what took you so long?" Claire asked with a raised brow, "I got my period and was having some cramps but I'm good now" she repiled quickly. "Oh that's a shame" Claire replied before moving on with her shopping.

Bayliy let out a sigh of relief and then joined the other girls. They were now in one of the clothing store. "What about this one?" One of them asked holding a dress up, "the colour would look good on you" Another said. "I don't know girls it's too plain" Claire replied.

"Hey what's going on?" Bayliy asked coming up to them. "It's nothing dear just a dinner with some people that Austin and I are going to tonight" she replied brushing her off. "Cool and what time does it start?" She asked casually.

Claire turned to her with a raised eyebrow, "that's an odd question to ask" she replied suspiciously. "All I'm saying is that if you know what time then you can dress so that you'll be relevant the whole evening not just when you walk in" Bayliy explained.

She picked up a cap sleeve knee length red dress and handed it to Claire. "Maybe try this if it's not too fancy" she suggested before walking off. Claire took the dress and looked at it for a few seconds before nodding her head.

A while later they were back at home with all their shopping bags. The girls went to their rooms to try out their new outfits and then pack them away in a closet. Bayliy managed to put the picture back were she found it and hid the room key with the ipad.

It was around six in the afternoon when Austin came home, still avoiding Bayliy. He got dressed then waited for Claire in the living room. Bayliy was seated watching him pace back and forward.

"Alright everyone will be fine on their own just don't burn the house down" she jokingly as she walked down the staircase. She wore the dress that Bayliy had suggested with black pointed toe heels and her hair and makeup done.

"Have fun" Bayliy called out to them as they left the house. She stayed in her spot knowing that there were still other people in the house. "I'm going to take a nap" she said slowly getting up and running up the stairs.

She locked her door and got her phone and gun out. "Pick me up in five minutes" she said before dropping the call. She pushed the gun into her waist band. She opened the terrace doors and checked if anyone was close by. It was dark out like the the last time she had escaped.

She climbed over the railing and slid down the gutter like she did the last time. She sprinted the rest of the way, she hid behind a tree as a car passed by, a few seconds later Max pulled up with the rest of the guys.

"Hey Bay" they greeted, "hey guys" she greeted them back getting into the car and Max took off. "So where to?" He asked. Bayliy gave them the directions to the warehouse. They parked the car a safe distance so it wouldn't be noticed.

Blake opened the trunk to revile all the guns and other weapons that were in. Bayliy licked her lips, "Let's blow this popsicle stand."
