Michelle POV
We were all on edge after what Eve had told us. She was leaving on Saturday for her camping trip. We kept telling her not to go and that it would be safer to stay in the house. She kept telling us that it’s not her safety she was worried about but with one of my world–renowned death glares she shut up. We made it clear we were in this together.
I’m chilling on the couch with the girls while Eve does another late shift. “Alright. Operation keep Eve here is underway. Where are we up to“.
Willow shows me her phone. “I order these online and they came today. They’re tracking devices. I have hidden one in her car and in her camping gear. That way if she does run we at least know where she is“.
“Excellent. I have also hidden her passport so at least we know she can’t leave the country. Kimberly, any thoughts“.
She just shakes her head and hugs the pillow tighter. She has been a mess since all this came out.
We were all jolted out of the conversation when we heard a knock at the door.
“Are we expecting anyone“. I look at the other girls and they shake their heads no.
Kimberly instantly terrified trembled out, “what if it them. Eve not here to defend us. Do we pretend we’re not here“.
Willow rolls her eyes. “They know we’re in here. They can see us through the window. And if they were going to harm us they wouldn’t knock“. We got up to answer the door and figure with all three of us we could quickly slam it shut if need be.
We open the door just to the point the door chain allows and see him standing there. Conrad in his design suit and amazing smile. He brought another guy with him who was wearing sweats for some reason but with his singlet you could see his define muscular arms. Conrad smiles when he sees all of us looking through the crack of the door.
“Evening ladies. I’ve brought some wine and pizza as a peace offering if you will let me in to talk“.
Kimberly snaps back “Eve’s not here so go away“.
“I know she’s not here. I want to talk to you. I’m trying to get her to trust me and realise I’m not a threat. I’m hoping if I can get you to trust me, she might be more open to the idea of at least talking to me“. He really is laying on the charm.
We shut the door to talk amongst ourselves but ultimately Kimberly is outnumbered as Willow, and I want to know what’s going on.
“We will let you in but try anything and we will scream so loud we will be heard at the police station 2

kilometres away“.
He just laughs and nods. “Understood“.
We all move to living room with Conrad in the chair near the open entrance to the dining room and the other man in the chair. We all sit on the couch to share note during our interrogation.
I start first while Willow studies them. “Firstly, who is he. Secondly what do you want with Eve“,
“This is my assistant, Liam. I’m concerned Eve needs some support and I just want to make sure she has to opportunity to receive it“. That was too calm to not be rehearsed.
“YOU LIAR“.
“Excuse me“. He just stared in shock.
“Eve told us she is considered a deserter to you. She chose to leave and doesn’t want to go back so giving her support is a bullshit answer“.
He looked stunned at this. He looked over to his assistance like they were trying to work out what to do next. Like they’re going to get anything past us.
“It’s true, Eve is considered a deserter. But did she tell you when she left”. He seems nervous now. Right
where I want him.
“Yes. At 13“.
“Did she tell you who she left or why“.
They can see my face change to one of sadness. How do they know something about her that I don’t.
