Once they'd retrieved Brittney's car, they headed back to Afterlife. On the way there, Harper texted Sarah and Chloe to let them know they were alright. Neither of them responded for several minutes. Harper assumed they must have gone to sleep. Then her phone rang. It was Sarah calling.

Harper answered with a "Hey."

"Hey, girl," Sarah said. "Stay away from Afterlife."

"What? Why?"

"It's not safe there," Sarah said. "Someone tried to burn down Alec's apartment. They could still be around there. We don't want to take any chances. Plus, there's really not a place to go back to. The whole club has been evacuated due to smoke damage."

"What?" Harper pressed her phone against her cheek. "You're kidding, right? This is some kind of joke?"

"What is it?" Alec asked, but Harper ignored him for now.

"I'm not kidding," Sarah said. "We'll have to meet somewhere else. Afterlife is closed until repairs can be done. Alec can't go into his apartment. It's wrecked. They're not even sure they'll be able to salvage the structural components so they can rebuild. He's going to have to move."

Harper glanced over at Alec. "Alright," she said. "Where should we meet then?"

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and then Sarah said, "Meet us at the Lucky Sevens Hotel. We've booked connecting rooms. We don't want whoever is trying to kill us to track us back to our houses."

"Right, see you there," Harper said, hanging up the phone. It was difficult for her to even wrap her hand around, but she said it in a calm, almost serene voice. "Someone lit a fire at Afterlife. Specifically, in your home. Sarah and Chloe were inside. They're alright, but your home isn't. There's a lot of damage -- you can't go home. We're going to go to the Lucky Sevens Hotel. Sarah and Chloe will meet us there."

The day was starting to feel like one long nightmare.

"They burnt down my apartment," Alec said coldly. "Now that's really going too far."

"Why can't we just all meet back at our house?" Brittney asked. "We're fairly new to Afterlife, and nobody should know that we've moved yet. The house would be safe enough. Then we don't have to stay in a hotel. Nobody likes staying in hotels."

Conner shook his head. "We can't go back to our houses," he said. "The chances are that John fellow has someone tailing us to see where we go. We don't want them to know where any of us live; especially you and Harper. We don't want them to know you're living together. Once they have that information, it won't take them long to put together who you are, and we definitely don't want them knowing that. Then they'll know you lied to them, and that's going to create a lot of problems that we just can't afford right now."

"So, to the hotel it is," Harper said. "Make a left turn up here, Brittney."

"I know," Brittney said. "I grew up in Vegas too, remember?"

Harper nodded and sat back, silently contemplating their current problems.
