There is a loud pounding at the door to the warehouse. We all freeze. And you can tell from the look in all of our faces that we were worried that we may have been to late. But then you hear.
"Its me 'Guy'. It's Chris. Open up. I got to tell you all something." Alejandro slowly makes his way to the monitor to see if he is alone. After reassuring that he was alone he lets him in.
"What are you doing here? You could have risked everything." Alejandro yells.
"I know but look I am personally here to take you guys to the safe house. But we have to go now. My boss John will meet you guys tonight to talk about how to help you all be free." Chris says with a lot of enthusiasm.
"Just like that we are just supposed to go with you? How do we know that you aren't working with them? How do we know that you aren't going to kill us?" Mr. Villarreal questions. I mean he has every right to question, after everything we have been through its only logical.
"Look I get it you don't trust me. I wouldn't trust me either if I was in your shoes. But fact of the matter is, you need me. I am your only hope. And if you can't trust me then trust 'Guy'. I owe him everything. I wouldn't put you all in danger. But if we are going to do this, we have to go now. Its only a matter of time before they show up to kill you all." Chris says worried.
We felt like we had our backs against the wall so we literally had no choice we went with Chris but we didn't tell him that we were leaving the tracker in the warehouse. We didn't tell him anything about it. Just to be safe.
We didn't have much with us in the warehouse so leaving wasn't a big deal. We are on our way to the new safe house and hopefully this is a much better one compared to the last one. After about 2 hours we arrive and its a beautiful one. Its a huge 2 story house and when we enter the living room is huge, they furnished it with beautiful leather sofas, and the dinning room is super fancy. It's crazy how the house is so fancy, almost to fancy for just a safe house. Well we make our way upstairs and we see that there is 3 bedrooms and 2 showers. We were talking about who gets what room and so on.
We agreed on who was going to get what room. Mr. and Mrs. Villarreal were going to get the master bedroom, Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez were going to get 2nd biggest bedroom and Alejandro and I took the other bedroom. After settling in and showering, we all sit at the table to eat something. It had been a hot minute since we had food that wasn't sitting there for hours under a heated lamp. Mrs. Sanchez made us some spaghetti, and I couldn't be happier to have some real carbs in my system.
While we were in the middle of eating there is a knock at the door. Its Chris and his boss John. Alejandro opens the door and lets them in.
"Good evening everyone. I'm John. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I am so sorry for everything that you all have been through. But I am here to help you guys out." John says.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Mr. Villarreal. This is my wife Mrs. Villarreal, and this is Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez. And this is Vanessa. And I'm sure that you know 'Guy'."
"Nice to be properly introduced to all of you. Now lets just cut to the chase, I understand that you all are on the run from the guys that run The Base." John states. We all nod our heads in agreement. "Alright well in order for us to take them down and prove that what they have done to you all and your town we are going to need some proof. Just help me, help you and then you guys will be free, and reunited with loved ones."
"So how exactly are we supposed to provide evidence that the guys from The Base did all those horrible things when we didn't think that we are going to need to collect evidence for all that?" I ask.
"I'm glad you ask. First thing, I have sent people to the location of your town to prove that there was a town. And just as we suspected they are already working on covering up all the mess that they caused. We got photos of that. Now the next thing we are going to need is proof that they want to kill you all. That's where Alejandro comes in." John says.
"How do you know my real name? No one knows it except for these people." Alejandro asks.
"I know a lot of people. So I need whatever information that you have to prove that your bosses wanted to kill all these people to cover up their mess. Now can you get me access to that?" Alejandro nods his head. "Alright then after gathering all that we will take it to the media and have all the people from The Base arrested. Then you lovely people will be free."
"You make it sound so simple." Mr. Sanchez says.
"It's not so simple. I have to be sure that Alejandro is still able to gain access to The Bases employee data even though he to is on the run." John says.
"Even if they took me off the data base it wouldn't matter I could hack into it. And reupload my account again. It would be as if I was never removed in the first place." Alejandro says.
"I am going to pretend that I didn't just hear that. Just do what you can. We will be in touch. There is a house phone here but that is only for us. Do not use it to make outgoing calls. If it rings it is us trying to get ahold of you all to let you know something, or for whatever reason. If you make any out bound calls they can trace you. Keep in mind that they are tracking you even through your loved ones. Be safe, we will speak again soon." John says, and then he walks out the door.
"We have to get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow morning we will train, just in case we need to fight." Alejandro says.
"I pray that we don't have to fight again. But whatever it takes." I say.
"Well good night everyone. In the morning we train." Mr. Sanchez says.
This is it. I'm that much closer to having my baby back in my arms.
