Raising a pair of binoculars Alex bought for me last week, I scanned the horizon and then lowered them to the Circle mansion grounds in the distance.

I was tucked in a little nook Alex had helped me fashion on a long-dead fallen tree covered by thick bushes speckled with snowflakes. My ass fit perfectly on a chunky branch that stuck through the bushes from the log, and if I tucked my legs up, I vanished right back into the leaves.

I was dressed in dark stretch jeans, a thick olive green jacket with a hood, matching beanie, and a scarf loosely wrapped around the bottom of my face. Alex said that was what usually gave people away when they were trying to hide—the flash of skin from not covering their faces up, which immediately drew the eye. But like this, I was essentially invisible, even if someone came all the way out here to the back fence.

From my spot, I had a clear view of the back of the mansion, provided I used the binoculars which allowed me to see things clearly from half a mile away. I was behind the back fence of the property—electric, of course—well away from the house and its snowy surrounds, but the land sloped downward from here quite a bit. Not at a drastic angle, just a little drop, but it was enough for me to be able to sit here in my nook with a perfect view of the grounds and house so I could spy like a secret agent.

Even though I couldn’t see the front of the house from here, I could see the driveway in the distance and therefore any cars meandering down it, bringing in various guys for a few hours at a time. When that happened, I’d go hurtling right back to reality, heart thudding painfully, and that painful prickle of nerve pain would return to my shoulders and spine.

This was no fictional thriller movie. This was real.

Kids and teens were being abused in that house right now, right as I sat here all warm and safe and cozy. The unfairness and cruelty of it made me feel nauseated. Adults were being abused, too, seeing as the ex-sex slaves were forced to work as maids once they were ‘too old’.

I wanted to run down there with guns blazing, literally, so Alex and I could get rid of all the guards along with whichever Circle members were visiting at the time. But I knew we couldn’t. Aside from the risk, we needed to wait until every single member and guard was present at the mansion.

If we killed just a few of them now, the rest would get spooked and never come back here. They’d
