After breakfast Briar insisted we go see the house. The last time I had seen it on

the cameras was when Carter had been overtaken by Creedon’s men. I had watched

him that day pulling out mattresses and such after they had defiled the place. I

knew only a miracle would have it ready to live in but I’d humor her. We packed up

all the presents and our things, having to put some of it in Carter’s truck. My little

SUV couldn’t hold it all. Briar had gone overboard this year, I guess now that she

had money, she was triggered to spend it wherever she saw an opportunity. We

followed Carter’s truck Beck behind us on his bike. Lana and Mazzie had gone

carefully and didn’t spend much on things around the house. Only buying things I

needed for functionally and framing a handful of prized pictures.

The furniture was new, so were the appliances, the soft grey walls permeated a

calming effect. Macrame wall hangings graced the walls and a hanging chair stuffed

with pillows hung in the corner next to a book case full of books. There was an

alcove set up with a desk and chair to the right of the door for my computer and

things and a dining table and chairs. That was something I had always wanted to

own, a matching set. What I had in the apartment was a mismatched indoor/

outdoor table with random chairs I had found and fixed from the side of the road.

Briar grabbed Cricket’s hand and led us both down the hall. She pushed open the
