A/N: Read and Review!

*Locus' POV*

We followed the man Georgie had assign to us inside the hotel. Walking inside I noticed a few people in the lobby were wearing scrubs, tactical gear and other types of body armor. The man lead us to an elevator that took us up to 20th floor.

He inserted a key card into a door labeled 2025 and opened it.

"You are to stay here until you are told otherwise. No leaving or wandering about. Understand?"

"Yes mommy dear, we understand." Felix said rolling his eyes before walking inside.

Siris was about to follow him inside but the man stopped him.

"Give her to me." He said looking at Amber.

"Why?"

"We have people here how can look after her while Kiara is in surgery and recovery."

"I got her."

"She's going to need someone who is more…equipped to take of— "

"I said I got her." Siris said sternly.

"Very well then." He moved to the side and let him walk inside. "If you need anything just use the phone in the master bedroom to the left, dial 1001."

I nodded as I entered the room hearing the door close behind me. As I took a seat on a nearby sofa I looked around the room then. It looked more like the inside to a house than typical hotel room. "Something's not right."

"What was your first clue?" Felix scoffed.

"Kiara said something about a House early, and when she got injured, instead of taking her to a hospital we came here."

"Maybe it's so the cops won't get involved." Felix said siting down on the couch. "Plus, Kiara hates hospitals."

"That doesn't explain why the people in lobby are wearing things like scrubs and body armor."

"Locus is right." Siris sat down on the opposite end on the couch. He laid Amber down on the couch on her back. "The people we walked passed on the way up, I know some of them. They work for the IPD."

"We need to find out exactly what is going and why Kiara is a part of it."

"Do we have to?" Felix groaned.

"Yes."

"But that sounds like a lot of work. Who knows, maybe she's working with them."

"And you're ok with that?" Siris asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, you seem kinda protective of her, despite everything you two been through."

"I wouldn't say that."

"It's ok to still have feelings for her."

"I don't." Felix rolled his eyes. "I just…it's complicated."

Amber stirred in her sleep a bit. Felix reached over and started tickling her feet.

"Felix, you'll wake her up." Siris said as he swatted his hand away.

"Dude she's out like a light. A little tickle isn't gonna hurt." He tickled her again. She giggled and squirmed in her sleep. "See? She likes it."

*Siris' POV*

"She looks a lot like you."

"Really? I don't see it."

"Well, it looks like she has your nose and eyebrows at least."

"Yeah, but she has Kiara's eyes though." He replied standing up and started walking to the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Gonna go take a walk."

"He told us to stay here."

"So? That doesn't mean I have to listen." He says as he opens the door and walked out.

A few hours passed since Felix left.

"Should we go look for him?" I asked Locus breaking the silence.

"I suppose we should, though, I'm half expecting him to be thrown back in here for leaving."

"I'll found a room to put Amber in then."

I carefully picked up Amber making sure not to wake her. I opened the door to one of the rooms on the right, the walls were half painted and there were plastic sheets on the floor as if it was being renovated. On one side of the wall had painting of pink hearts and elephants.

"I think I found the nursery but it looks unfinished and there no crib in here." I said loud enough for Locus to hear but no so loud as to disturb Amber as I closed the door. I checked the room on the left and found what must be Kiara's room. In the far-right corner of the room was a crib. I walked and carefully laid Amber inside. She cooed in her sleep making me smile a bit.

"One day…" I sighed.

We were getting ready to go when the door open suddenly, two men walked in wheeling Kiara on a stretcher.

"I told your little scrawny ass to stay in here!" Georgie said shoving Felix inside.

Felix stumble a bit but caught himself. "Did you really expect me to stay in here?" he asked facing him.

"To be honest, no, Kiara told me all about your crazy ass."

"Oh, did she now? Well then let's just go talk her about it, oh, wait, we can't cause she's knocked out cold, under heavy sedatives, not to mention SHE HAS A FUCKING HOLE IN HER GUT!?"

"Felix, calm down."

"No! He's the reason she got hurt. This is on you."

"I didn't tell her to get on top of the van!" Georgie yelled back. "She saw an opportunity to take them all out at once and she took it. She makes reckless choices all the time, I thought YOU would know that, but apparently not."

Felix was about to say something but stopped.

The two men came out of Kiara's room pushing an empty gurney.

"We hooked up everything up in her room." One of them said.

"Thank you." Georgie replied. "Page Meg and tell her to come up here."

"Yes sir." They left the room.

*Locus' POV*

"What about Amber?" Siris asked. "Who's going to watch her until Kiara gets better?"

"I will." Felix said staring at Georgie.

"You really think I'm gonna let you do that?" Georgie asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm her father."

"I don't give a fuck about that shit. Kiara doesn't trust you with her and neither do I."

"You can't keep me from her."

"Watch me."

"Is this a bad time?"

I looked at the door and saw a woman standing there dressed in scrubs. She was of average height, had brown skin, green eyes, and a short curly black afro.

"Shit, you got here fast."

"I was already on my way up here."

"Megan? Wha-what are you doing here?" Siris said surprised.

"Mason!" She looked at him shocked. "I—"

"Wait," Georgie cut her off. "that's the Mason you were talking about?"

"Yes, he's my husband."

"Megan, what are you doing here? Are you working with these guys?" Siris ask with a hint of anger in his voice.

"I-It's only temporary."

"What about the hospital? You didn't quit, did you?"

"NO! I just work here when I'm needed."

"But why? We aren't that strapped for money."

"These are good people here Mason, they just…fell on some hard times."

"How could you keep this from me?"

"I wanted to tell you, but I knew how you would react."

"So, what, you're their street surgeon? Megan you're better than that."

"Just what kind of place do you think we run here?" Georgie asked offend.

"The kind that works in an abandoned hotel, away from the laws watchful eye." Felix spoke up folding his arms then looked at both of us. "The entire first floor is a medical ward and the second and third are some sort of training and weapon facility."

"Georgie, you have to tell them." Megan begged.

"They wouldn't understand."

"Understand what? What's going on here?" Siris demanded.

Georgie let out a sigh. "To know what we do here, you have know about Kiara's past."

"What does that have to do with this place exactly?" I asked.

"Everything, she created this."

"Why?"

"And for what?"

He paused for a moment looking at Megan for a moment. "She's going to kill me for this."

"They deserve to know." Megan assured him.

"Fine. Has Kiara ever told you about Project Academy?"
