Diego

Diego didn’t get to have a nap.

And so far, he hadn’t found a park, either.

Instead, he trailed behind Luv as he walked through the halls of a building that she’d only called, “The complex.”

If he were being honest, yes, the name did fit the large and ominous building entirely too fucking well. Made up of winding hallways with black doors and overhead lighting that could blind a person, he wasn’t entirely sure what anyone would do in a place like this considering the desolate location.

After Luv’s phone rang with a call that she spent mostly rolling her eyes and sighing loudly at whoever talked on the other end, all she told Diego was that they had to go. Nothing more, and nothing less. They drove for two hours.

Beyond recognizable landmarks. Where there were no buildings. Only miles and miles and miles of desert land greeted them until finally … something began to grow on the horizon. The big and confusing building she called the complex, that was.

Diego finally figured out—whatever the place was—had something to do with The League, the organization his brother worked with, because of the black matte card Luv had flashed at the cameras overhead the doors where they entered. He couldn’t say it was a proper entrance because nothing, not even a parking lot, suggested where they entered the building was the front, side, or back for that matter.

“What is this place?” Diego asked again. “What do you even do here?”

Luv shot a glance over her shoulder, grinning as though she got way too much enjoyment out of Diego’s ignorance. “A bit of everything.”

“Like—”

“Some people live here. Offices are kept here. Training. Work. Whatever, you know?”

No, he certainly did not.

He wondered if that was such a bad thing.

Rounding another long hallway, Diego was surprised to find the few doors they passed in this one were actually open. Black doors. Like every other door in the place. He didn’t spend too much time peering into the rooms they passed, but he saw enough to make his eyes widen a bit.

Like the room with bars of gold.

The one full of weapons.

None had people.

As they reached the far end, clicks started to echo behind Diego. Luv kept walking ahead of him even though he stopped to look back. Behind him, the black doors for each of the rooms started to close one after another.

Fast, but quiet.

Electronic, maybe?

He wasn’t sure why or how they closed the way they did. It just did it. One door after another.

Click, click, click, click.

“Come on,” Luv called, her voice echoing around the next corner she had taken.

The entire place felt cold.

And dangerous.

Definitely not like home. Certainly not like he belonged there. And that was the thing he recognized first and foremost inside the building.

He did not belong.

Diego hurried to catch up.
