“Come on, Lily Anna, something’s wrong.” Why does it keep going off? I know I didn’t have enough time to plant the device under uncle Hank’s desk that first day, but it didn’t need that much done to it, and anyway, it had been working just fine when I tested it out at home. Now it keeps going in and out at odd times, so I need to get in there and take care of it, but all of the men are in there still, so nope.

Luckily, Bunny’s outside the door, where I’d sent him as soon as I knew that’s where they were headed, but unless he’s inside the room with them, the recording chip in his collar sometimes doesn’t pick up everything, and daddy’s not about to trust him anywhere near where they’re discussing secrets. That’s why I don’t feel so guilty about playing a trick on uncle Hank because it’s his fault daddy found out about Bunny’s secret in the first place.

I know it’s only a matter of time before daddy, uncle Hank or one of the other uncles figures out what I’m doing, but right now, they’re too preoccupied with aunty Roxy and other stuff to notice. “Wait!” I stopped her short of getting on the elevator.

“Why, what’s wrong?”

I had to lean in close because if uncle Hank is anything like daddy, there are probably microphones and cameras all over the place. “Mommy and the aunts don’t know about the thing in uncle Hank’s office; they only know about Bunny. We can’t ask them for help.” I still don’t know how mommy found out about that, maybe Caitie told her, but she knows and has been laughing about getting one over on daddy ever since.

Now all the aunts know, and aunty Cierra promised to get me stuff if I help them out, or more like I made her promise. I have to think fast; we could be missing a lot of important stuff right now, stuff that could help with the research my friends and I are doing.

We’d made some leeway here lately, but after I’d read the printout of what uncle Hank had said yesterday, a lot of things started to make sense. I know daddy is part of the organization, but I want to be part of it too. I want to save little girls and boys. I think they saved aunty Roxy too, but part of that conversation is missing as well.

I had to switch gears in my brain from thinking solely about one thing to concentrate on the other. If I don’t do it like that, my head will be filled with a million things at once. Not that I can’t pick each one apart and work on it separately, but some things need my undivided attention, and trying to trick daddy and uncle Hank is one of them.

So, the men are in the office; I need to get them all out at once. I can’t ask mommy and the aunts for help, but I need it.
