“ How long before they get into the building?”.
“ Twenty minutes, if they have the keys. Longer if they're waiting for the Dean".
“ Okay we just need five minutes. Make sure you wipe everything. Have your brother or sister call you and be on the lookout. Take all the cars back out Of the campus one by one. Call your father and keep us updated". Caius said. I nodded and they left. Gideon called me and I answered.
Caius let go of the rope and Mac's lifeless body fell to the ground. He wore gloves, then cut the end of the rope he was holding. He undid the restraints around their wrists and feet. He then sprayed something on the marks that reminded where they were tied.He Then grabbed the rope again and tied it to the wall. He went to Bennett and did the same. “ The marks from the restraints will disappear in a few minutes “ he said calmly .Within ten minutes All the ropes were tied off. And we were waiting for Gideon.
“ They're just standing there, I guess they're waiting for the Dean “. Zeke said.
We left the gym. Caius wiped everything we touched. When we left the gym he locked the door in a Way that it would take hours to open by then they'll be truly dead.
“ All the cars are on the road. We've disabled the security cameras in the vicinity. Nothing will be picked up until we're miles away ". Cyrus said.
“ Okay the Dean just showed up. He drove in”. May said
We waited for what felt like forever until I heard Gideon. “ Dad ,they're in the building, leave now”.

When Dominic and the others returned to the hospital it was almost midnight. I just looked at him and he nodded. Sam was asleep. I saw Mia and Maya and they didn't look worse for the wear. He came straight over to me and kissed me.
“ How's he holding up?”. He asked, nodding at Sam.
“ He's okay ,in a lot of pain but refuses to Say so. We're just waiting for Amy to return. She'll Stay with him. We'll have someone standing guard. Jason's in the hospital Also “.
“ Okay".
When Amy returned,she promised She would call us if she needed us. We told her it was okay, And we'd Take care of Eric. She just needed to focus on helping Sam get better. When we got home it was almost two . Everyone separated and went home. Gideon and Mia brought Eric over to our place. After what happened today, I noticed there was an addition to the security and it didn't matter to me . As long as our family would be safe that was all I needed.
After I grabbed a shower, I laid in bed waiting for Dominic, I guess I fell asleep. When my eyes opened the sun was pouring through the windows. When I turned he was awake and looking at me.
“ Morning love “.
“ Morning, Sorry. I guess I was really tired last night".
“ That's okay love “. He pulled me into him and took my mouth. We both heard knocking on the door. He got up and opened it. Zeke and Cyrus were standing there. I got off the bed and walked over to the door.
“ What's Wrong?".
He turned the laptop towards us.

I Looked at Dominic ,he didn't seem worried about anything.
“ Get your cousin, breakfast in a few”. I said walking back into the room. After a shower I headed down to make breakfast. Mia came down and helped me. During breakfast no one said anything. We were almost finished when Detective Ryan walked in and sat down. The kids stood up and left.
“ We're heading over to grandma's “. Gideon said. They filled out one by one. I stood up,made a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Ryan. He didn't say anything ,he sat quietly and drank the coffee. He looked at me and Dominic.
“ Don't try lying. I know it was done by you , which one I don't know. I'm not in Charge of the investigation. There's another person whose Name is Agent Timothy Craig . He can't be swayed and he's meticulous in his investigation. I know because he asked me about Maria and I told him what we found. He'll be here, I don't know when but he Will. Make sure you are careful because he's good at his job “. He said standing up.
“ Thank you For the head's up. We'll be careful Ryan".
“ How's Sam doing? “.
“ He'll recover," Dominic said.
After he left we sat there. “ Get the family,meet me out back by the pool. We'll discuss this and.make sure There are no holes in our story“.

We were hanging around by the pool. The kids were swimming and we were barbecuing. It's been three hours since detective Ryan left and we came up with our Alibi's. Cyrus and Zeke were Told to hide their laptops.
It was close to four in the afternoon when I saw a car driving into the compound in the distance.
“ We got company “. Ryan said
“ Let him come". Bennett said.
The car drove up all the Way to the back. I saw the door open and a man got out.he looked to be in his forties. He made his way over to us casually. When he got close enough he scanned us. A normal person wouldn't notice it but I did.
“ Sorry for disturbing your gathering. My name is Agent Timothy Craig, FBI agent Craig “. He said flashing his badge. Dad stood up.
“ What Can we do for you Agent Craig?. Are you Here to inform us on the situation about my granddaughters?".
“ I'm sorry Mr Chase. We haven't found any leads on her death".
“ Yes but Also our other two granddaughters. There's an active case ,the case of their kidnapping and rape “. Collins said standing up.
He looked taken aback. “ I wasn't aware of such a case".
“ Kids, you keep relaxing. Agent Craig can we take this over to the patio. I'd prefer if my children and my nephews didn't hear more about this. They're already worried about a lot of things “. Allie said, looking at him.
“ Of course Mrs Chase".
We stood up and headed over to the Patio and we all took a seat. I would leave it to Tia.
“ Agent Craig if you're not to update us on our daughter's rape kit or the death if our neice then Why exactly are you here?”. Tia asked him.
“ It's actually a sad reason. Four students of the NYU university were found dead. In the same place and in the Same Way as your niece”. He said, his voice was quiet and full of sympathy but his eyes were alert.
“ Oh yes. This is terrible. My son found the article this morning and showed it to us. I'm surprised the FBI is taking an interest in this now “. Tia Said.
“ Why would you say that ?".
“ Well , When our niece was found dead. The Dean and the two responding officers refused to say anything. They didn't investigate her Death or anything they ruled it as suicide. It was all hush hush “. Allie said
“ Did you demand an investigation?”.
“ Of course we did but nothing came of it. What can we help you with?". I asked him.
“ Well we spoke to Kimberly Colthrap and Bartholomew Tristan and they accused your family of the crime “.
“ Agent Craig. One day ago the two officers Showed up here asking about Vanessa's disappearance. Then Yesterday Kimberly Colthrap showed up at our home,was rude then we had an incident. Two men barged in here trying to forcibly take my daughter and niece out “. I Said looking at him.
“ Well that sheds some more light in this situation. Have you ever had any interaction with any of the four deceased?”.
“ Yes. When our niece died and my daughter and niece disappeared". Tia Said calmly.
“ They began Laughing, when her body was found. She won't be buried until we know who did that to her". Leah said quietly.
“ I'm sorry for your loss. Is it possible to speak to the older kids as they attend the Same university with the deceased. You can be present. I just need to get some background information on the school life".
“ Of course Agent Craig “. Allie said .
“ Why don't you guys Head over with the others? Send Mia, Maya, Richy and Gideon over”.
“ Okay “.
