Calvin stood at the window of the hotel, one hand on his lower back, the other holding the curtain slightly to the side. His red eyes scanned the parking lot, making sure that he didn’t see any signs of anyone suspicious. They had been coming and going from that hotel room for far too long, and he needed to get somewhere else that would be safer for all of them.

“Calvin,” Sofia called from behind him.

Calvin turned around, wiping the concerned look from his face and putting on a smile. “Yes, my love?”

Sofia smiled. “Are you all right? You seem to be awful quiet today. Not your usual self at all.”

Sofia’s father and mother looked up. They were all sitting at a small table in the corner, playing cards to pass the time. Calvin nodded. “I am just fine. I am putting all the information together in my head right now, trying to make sure I have everything straight.”

Sofia’s father furrowed his brow. “For what?”

Calvin took a deep breath and walked across the room, shutting the tv off. “I think we’ve stayed at this hotel long enough. I think I have taken too many unnecessary risks driving to the house and back here again. We could have someone watching us here, looking for us. I don’t want to put you in more danger. I think it’s best if we all get as far from here as we can, at least until I can figure things out and find out who was behind this. Once the threat is neutralized, you can all go back to your lives.”

Sofia’s mother shook her head. “But where would we go? We can’t keep hopping hotels, not with Sofia in this condition.”

Sofia rolled her eyes. “Mom, I’m not in any ‘condition.’ I’m just pregnant.”

Calvin chuckled. “But still, she has a point. That is why the three of you are getting an all-expenses-paid trip to a little base in Nevada.”

Sofia gazed at Calvin, a smile on her lips. Calvin knew it would make her happy to see the team, even if it was because she couldn’t go home. Calvin could see the dislike for the idea on her parents’ faces, though. They had no connection to the team.

Calvin walked over and sat down in the chair. “Look. I know you all have lives. And I know those lives are important and you need to get back to them, but I have to protect you. For the first time in my life, I have absolutely no idea what is going on. One minute everything was perfectly fine, the next minute things went downhill, and fast. This is no longer a safe place for any of you to be.”

Sofia’s father straightened his face. “What kind of base is this? Army? Marine?”

Calvin held back a chuckle. “None of those. It’s Katie’s mercenary base. I know for a fact that you will be safe there while I go through the process of checking things out.”

Sofia’s mother put her hands on Sofia’s cheeks and looked at Calvin.
