Chapter Eleven

The sanctuary was a deceiving bit of property. It sat on a cliff overlooking the ocean, but the majority of the stronghold wasn't above ground—it was beneath it. There were no gates and no guards to bypass, only a long drive on a road posted Private Property. Trees crowded the pathway after two curves, then broke away to expose a rather modest structure built of stone.

Less than a thousand square feet, the building resembled a maintenance shed more than it resembled a home, with no windows anywhere on the four walls. Security was tight, with cameras angling in from five different positions, all invisible to the naked eye unless one knew where they were hiding.

A steel enforced door was the only way in or out. To open it required a key for the lock, a long sequence of numbers for the keypad, and the correct thumbprint for the thumb scan.

Inside was an elevator shaft and a stone spiral stairway beyond another door that needed to be opened the same way as the first one. The elevator only worked with a correct sequence on the keypad.

After a two flight descent, the elevator doors slid back to reveal a subterranean home. A large room with polished floors, rugged walls and a high, jagged ceiling sported updated, modern furniture in earth tones that complimented the design. Three bedrooms, an office and an interrogation room were located off the living area. A galley style kitchen sat to the right with a view of the elevator and stairway door.

The biggest draw of the sanctuary was the ceiling to floor windows along one entire wall. Cut out of the cliff face, it overlooked a commanding view of the ocean. Bulletproof and all but impossible to breach with the treacherous rocks below, the panes allowed copious amounts of light to pour in unabated.

Dragar had found Roman stirring a drink in the kitchen when he'd arrived and they'd wasted no time getting down to brass tacks.

“She what?” Roman queried, looking shocked.

“Disappeared. I don't know what happened to her. One second she was in the restroom next to me at a truck stop, the next she was gone.” Dragar rattled ice around his glass. Christian was in the interrogation room, asleep. He let him have his rest for now.

The debate about Minna went on for several hours before Dragar finally woke his son. They had an extensive discussion where Dragar leaned on the young man regarding honor and his commitment to the cause.

He did not mention where his brothers were, or that the daughters of Eve were with them. Dragar especially did not announce Minna's disappearance.

After dinner, Dragar checked the supplies in the large storeroom off the kitchen. They kept three months worth of food here at all times and Roman had added to that as he'd asked. Eight more flats of bottled water were stacked against the wall and the shelves were full. If they needed to stay down here for an extended stay, they were ready to go.
