“Of course, honey,” Abby cooed.

Jasmine nodded. “There are four cabins that I know of. I know there are bodies buried behind at least one because they made me dig one of the graves.”

“Thank you, Jasmine. You’ve been a good girl. I’m going to go outside with Dragon so we can talk about your release,” Abby concluded, walking out the door with the guys following.

Torrent closed and locked the door, following Abby and Dragon down the hall. Abby shuddered when she stopped.

“I’m glad I didn’t eat before coming, or I’d be puking. That woman is not a victim as far as I’m concerned,” Abby stated.

Maverick walked back down the stairs into the main room, holding out three different devices.

“Do I need to go upstairs for cell service? I need to ask Mace something before I can offer a solution," Abby asked.

Dragon nodded, and Abby walked upstairs.

“Four cabins?” Torrent grunted.

“Yeah, and are there women still there waiting to be moved to the next location? How the hell do we find them? The woods are deep and a lot of places are hidden,” Mav pointed out.

Abby walked back down the stairs.

“I told Mace what we found out. He and I both think it leans toward Eustace being a part of the group we’re hunting. The name she said is who my sister was prosecuting when she was killed. He’d like Jasmine sent with us. We’ll keep her in Time Out, squeezing out as much information from her until the time she’s no longer useful,” Abby revealed.

“Time Out?” Mav echoed.

Abby chuckled. “One of our members who has kids thought Time Out was the perfect name for our holding cells where we get information from people regarding their involvement. Plus, let’s face it, it sounds like we’re discussing a kid misbehaving,” Abby said.

Torrent chuckled along with the guys. That was funny and almost lightened the air if he wasn’t going crazy knowing how many cabins Useless had.

“There’s a club Mace knows who has their own helicopter. He could contact them about seeing if they could come up when you’re ready to hunt down those cabins and possibly help find them quicker,” Abby suggested.

“I’d appreciate that. I think I need a little time to think through the information you found out. Is your club still good with taking Jasmine to Time Out?” Dragon replied, chuckling at the term.

“Yes. They’ll be here tonight. I can give you their number so you can coordinate,” Abby promised.

“Thank you, darlin’. I appreciate it. We don’t hurt women and children despite that woman needing it,” Dragon said.

“That’s okay. Sometimes the psychological fear comes better if they’re threatened by a woman. Can your guy give me a ride back after I grab my tools?” Abby asked.

“Sure can, and thank you for your help,” Dragon smiled, holding out his hand. Abby shook it, nodded, and headed down the hall.

“We calling Church or thinking this through overnight?” Torrent asked.

“I vote for thinking it through,” Mav tossed out.

Dragon nodded. “Agreed.”

Chapter Twenty-Four

Cecilia stirred the sloppy joe mixture for supper. Tonight was a party night, and she needed something to do to keep her mind occupied.

Although Torrent said club business was club business, he had shared with her that Jasmine was not in town and would not be able to bother them. Due to the nature of what they’d found out, Sally, Willow, Chey, and she were told about Linny’s possible father and about the extra cabins.

They were getting back to a regular schedule with just a few more men on security duty and more frequent patrols around the compound.

Calliope and Harley would be at supper and then would hang upstairs during the party. Cecilia appreciated that Harley was giving up time on a party night to watch Calliope.

“Looks like we’re ready. Everyone can serve themselves from here tonight. I don’t want a lot of mess to clean up,” Sally said.
