Chapter 0358
“Colt, you should come see this!” Jacob yelled from down the stairs.
“Coming.” I said back. Tucking the picture under my arm, I gave this room one last glance before heading down the stairs.
“Most of the house is bare. There is evidence someone has been here but nothing much. There is empty toilet paper rolls, cigarette buds that seem fresh with a new pack beside it and clothes that don’t have any dust on them. Blood but not dust.”
“What do I need to see though?” I asked. Surely, he didn’t call me down for clothes.
“Over here.” He walked around the corner and there was a staircase leading down. Why is it always the basement? No idea but Jacob walked down into the basement like it was nothing important.
“Is there a light?” I asked as I followed him down. The stairs, themselves were wooden ones with no back. My love for horror movies was not helping as I just pictures someone reaching threw them and grabbing my ankle, or taking a knife and cutting my Achilles
tendon.
“Yeah, over here but you need to stand right here to get the full affect.” Jacob moved me just to the right of the stairs before walking into the darkness. “Ready?”
“Obviously.” I said, clearly unamused.
Jacob flicked the lights on. My breath was caught in my throat as the realization of what I was looking at absorbed in my brain. Three different cubbies were open with only a mattress and a chain sticking out from the wall. At the end of each chain was a metal dog collar. Needles lined the walls with blacken spoons, lighters and other drug

“I think this house was used as a location to sell the girls. We would have to ask Eleanor but look, there is no way out. Other than those tiny windows, the only way out of here is up the stairs. Over here, there is holding cells.” Jacob walked around and pulled back a sheet. There was a massive cage with benches against the walls. Similar to what you would see in a police station. In the middle was a shower head, pointed straight down.
Water suddenly came out of it. Looking over, Jacob had turned a
k nob so water came out and turned it back to shut the water off. “So they placed all the girls in there. Either showered them all or one of them at a time to their demand and then moved them to these
viewing centers. I would guess they either tried their product out or just went off looks.”
“That is my guess.” Jacob just looked at the fresh water on the floor.
“There is an office up stairs that had a couch. I would guess that they would test out the girls to see if they would be good to be sold or if it was best to kill them. I would put money that if we searched the ground, we will find multiple bodies.” Looking around, this looked to be a secret place to do business that was not in their pack grounds.
“Why not do it at their packhouse?” Jacob seemed to be following my thoughts.
“Vin and Cash might have been doing this on the side.” I guessed.
“Or we are missing something entirely.” Jacob frowned and looked around.
“I hate to say it but maybe we need Ice to put her brain to the test.” Last thing I wanted to do was bring my sister out here but if we were missing something, we should know about it.
“Did you find any surveillance?” Jacob asked me.
