Lilly fought as two men dragged her away from Eddie, before throwing her down into a dark room. She quickly rose, before realizing that the door had been locked shut, which meant that they were trapped. If things weren't bad enough, but not a clue to what the cult was planning next. Indeed they knew how to keep secrets, not even their members were aware of.
An hour later, the two heard the sound of the door being unlocked. Being two trained detectives, they listened before exiting the room. Lilly was unaware that Scotty was the person who unlocked it. He was nowhere in sight, managing to hide the key before returning to his room. Luckily, Cassie had undone his restraints, but also had left.
However, not before informing him about a trap that didn't come from the leaders. It seems as if she enjoyed going against the rules, but Scotty wasn't about to let Lilly get killed. He couldn't, especially knowing just how much he loved her.
Except that, someone had saw him; one of the head leaders. That wasn't a good thing, which had him being lead down another hallway and into a dark cell. After someone had bound both his hands and feet, the door slammed shut behind.
That now left him trapped inside of a small, claustrophobic cell, which further complicated the situation. Screaming or Yelling would only get him killed; but being tied up made it impossible for him to escape. Down the hall, Lilly remained silent, however as she peered into one of the room; she had discovered that one of the piece of furniture was blocking the door.
After Eddie had pushed it aside, he used something to unlock the door; which led into pitch black hallway. Using their flashlights to navigate, which led them directly out into another hallway. By now, the two had realized it wasn't leading them back to where they had started but now they were in another section of the building.
Only that this time, it lead into something useful. Lilly immediately began searching through the four file cabinets, before pulling out a certain file, "The victims," she whispered. Yet it still didn't give her anything of their killers or killer, or anything that could be useful. In one photo was the same house where both she and Scotty had stayed while undercover.
Her heart began quickening, before finding another folder. It contained all the rules that each victim had violated, but the name at the bottom was initialed. Lilly knew just how had signed off on it, but until there was some proof she couldn't rule that person out as the killer.
The paper didn't suggest of murder or violence, just a typical written up form. Yet, it didn't make any sense; none of it did, "What if this all was just a setup, the bodies being dumped in Philly? We fell into their trap," which was just the case.
With the sound of footsteps, the two fled but the cult had cleverly managed to separate them. It didn't take long for Eddie to realize that Lilly was missing. He knew that her life was in danger, and was going to anything he could to bring her home safe.
Lilly however, was caught after being separated and placed in a dark, cold room. Only that she knew that they were going to kill her, or make her think that. Whatever the real truth was, Lilly had to figure out a way out of here.
With a gasp, after one of the guards punched her hard on her upper right arm; she wasn't going to allow that to get in the way. No, weakness wouldn't be acceptable. That would only give them more cause to kill her.
Not far from where she was, Scotty was being brainwashed. Though now he was in another room, and not tied up; his headache continued to worsen. Sitting next to him was Dominic; who appeared to be around the age of sixty-seven and was one of the leaders, "How could you even love someone like Melissa, she even gave up your own son."
Scotty knew that he was lying, but showed a picture of Lilly holding Dylan; something in that picture told him it might be true. Yet, because of whom her mother was he feared she'd go ahead and arrange for their son to be adopted.
His heart broke inside, but wasn't ready to give in, "She wanted a baby for so long."
Dominic nodded," Melissa never loved you, her heart was with him," as he handed him a photo of Lilly and Eddie. That made Scotty's blood boil, knowing exactly why things were so tense between them. He knew she still had a thing for him, "If there's one thing I know is that Mel wouldn't give up our son to be with him, that's where you are lying."
"I never said it was because of him, Darren you need to understand something. She never fit in, so when the spirit ordered for you two to be divorce it was the right thing. You and Cassie were meant, she loves you," as Dominic now placed her hand into Scotty's.
Putting on façade, he remained cooperative," What do you want me to do?" seeing the look in Dominic's eyes. No sooner was Scotty instructed down to an area where it was cold and dark. Using a flashlight he found the room where she was sitting in.
Cassie gently led him away, and up the stairs into "Their room." It was small but as Scotty lay down on the bed, he began thinking about Lilly. He loved her, and that Dominic had no clue to who she really was. Just a few hours later, Scotty was about to sneak out of the room, past a sleep Cassie; and downstairs without being seen.
After undoing the locks, the door opened as he stepped inside, "Hey?" setting the candle aside so he could see her better.
Lilly was shivering," This isn't a homicide, it was a setup."
"I know, but I need to figure out how to get you out of here?" he whispered, before hearing the sound of footsteps approaching. After closing the door and locking it, Scotty turned seeing Eddie standing there. Indeed he didn't like seeing this man standing in front of him one bit.
Eddie knew what was about to happen, "This building's going to blow, open the door Valens!"
Just as Scotty began to speak, the two men began smelling smoke. That's when both heard the sound of Lilly coughing loudly inside. After opening the door and freeing her all three of them took off. Upon reaching another side, that's when they lost Scotty.
"We need to find him!"
Eddie knew her fear of losing him, "No time Rush," he said, "RUN!"
Once the two were outside, and away from the building; she was pushing down onto the ground; before looking over, "SCOTTY!" seeing him running towards but not near it before it exploded into fiery of flames, " NO!"
With one motion, Eddie helped her up, as they ran into the woods; running extremely fast. Once they were far from that place, the two continued running until finally stopping. Just then a car pulled up as Lilly hesitated, before hearing both Vera and Jefferies yelling at her to get in.
Once the car took off speeding, her fear increased.
That was only a week ago, but Lilly had no idea was to come next.
