Chapter 13 – Saturday - 5:49 p.m.

“The Lexus is in the garage and the blinds to the windows are closed,” Cathy announced as she joined the others in the neighbouring home’s dining room. “Wow, that’s quite an arsenal.”

An array of firearms along with a variety of canisters, boxes of ammunition, knives and other weapons covered the surface of the large antique dining room table.

“I figured better safe than sorry,” Leslie replied. “I’m hoping we don’t have to use any of this, particularly the guns for the noise factor, but I’d hate to suddenly need something knowing I’d left it behind.”

“My neighbours would freak if they saw this,” said Sandy.

“We’ll get this thing all done and settled one way or another before they return,” Leslie replied with determination. “I’m just glad they’re away right now because having access to this place makes a big difference.”

“It certainly does,” Josée agreed as she examined the handguns, selected a model she was familiar with and proceeded to load it. “I can’t imagine trying to deal with this from a motel room across the lake.”

“Sorry, it looks like their meeting is over,” Dominique interrupted, her gaze locked on the iPad as she scrolled the cameras to follow what was going on. “They all seem to be heading out back through the kitchen.”

“All of them?” Cathy asked. “Do you think they might be leaving?”

Leslie shook her head. “I seriously doubt that. More likely planning to search for their missing pals and find whoever took the Lexus and bashed the bike.”

“I’m sure you’re right,” Josée agreed. “Good thing we had somewhere to stash the truck. That may be the only problem with being so close by. They may come snooping around here.”

“It would make our job that much easier if they did,” Leslie replied. “I’d love the whole lot of them to come on over. We could get this settled in minutes.”

“Unfortunately, I doubt that’s going to happen,” said Josée. “I’m thinking, the cameras are fine to track them in and around the house but if they decide to go driving around to look for the truck, we should try to keep track of them. I’m going to take the plane back up to for a while to get a better view.”

“Good idea,” said Leslie. “Do you want someone to go up with you?”

“That wouldn’t really serve any purpose,” Josée replied. “It’s probably best to keep as many of us available down here to deal with these idiots. I’ll call you once I’m up and we’ll try to figure out our next step based on what I see.”
