(Rose Apartment)
Abe and Janine arrived at Rose's apartment door together. Janine reached up and started banging on the door. Abe could tell that Janine wasn't happy find one of her daughter locked in a cage like animal. Rose open the door soon after to find parents standing outside her apartment door. Rose was wearing a towel wrapped around and towel in hand drying her damp hair.
Abe followed closely after Janine as she forced her way inside Rose's apartment. Rose closed the door behind them and inquired, "Is there anything wrong?" Rosemarie Ann Hathaway, Janine spun on Rose around to face her and said, "Go put on clothing immediately." Rose was able to tell that her mother wasn't looking mood be mass with. Rose observing that Janine's mother's protective mask was on and that she didn't seem overjoyed about anything.
Rose grabbed her clean clothing and made dashed towards the bathroom. Trying to understanding the source of Janine's anger. Trying to figure out why her parents would knock on the door this time of the day.
Abe sits on the arm chair, while watching the shit hit the fan. He was aware that Janine was a very angry mother. Rose's phone was in Janine's hand when she reached down and grabbed it, simultaneously texting to Dimitri, Vasilissa, Eddie, and Adrian to come to Rose's apartment about something essential. Just come, don't call. Abe saw that Janine had sent a text.
Rose left the restroom. Rose asked, "What's happening?" Abe inquired, "How is Riley doing?" Rose said that Riley was on a covert mission for the late beloved queen. Abe declared: "Oh! Do you agree with that? When did the undercover mission of your twin sister begin?" "A period of 18 months. after the prior expedition." Commented Rose. Your buddies will be arriving soon, Janine added as she turned her glance to Abe. Rose felt uneasy, but she wasn't certain why.
Just after 10 minutes had gone, Dimitri, Rose, Vasilissa, Adrian, and Eddie had arrived at Rose's apartment. With a drink in his hand, Abe made his way to the armchair to front roll seat to watch Janine rip into them.
""Guardian Janine, Why did you think it was important to have us to come to Rose's house? Vasilisa asked. Does anyone know where Riley has been for the past 18 months? asked Janine. Riley is on a covert mission for loving late Queen Tatiana?" said, Vasilissa. Janine noticed that everyone would concur with Vasilissa's assertion. Who told you that? Janine asked. Guardian Stone, Eddie said.
Janine said, "Wrong! Riley for past 18 months hasn't been on covert mission for late beloved Queen Tatiana. Riley has been in falsely accused of assassination are late Queen Tatiana and falsely imprisoned for the past 18 months. Riley never when court and charged with killing the late Queen Tatiana.
Everyone was surprised to learn that Riley had been arrested for the murder of the late Queen Tatiana, as Abe and Janine could see. Adrian said "Wait! How could they believe Riley would murder their great aunt Tatiana? If Riley was carrying out a secret mission?" "Where was Riley's secret mission?" Dimitri inquired? "Siberia, Baia Russia," stated Abe. Riley saved your mother Olena and Paul from the strigoi. Riley team was dispatched to the area to confront the strigoi invaded the area."
Rose asked, "Is Riley still a prison?" "No!" Janine answered. Abe claimed that Riley had proof that she wasn't Queen Tatiana's killer. The documents and passport proving Riley was on a secret mission for Queen Tatiana at the time of her assassination. Dimitri said, Why would Guardian Stone say that Riley was on secret mission?"
Abe said, "Easy! We all know that Queen Tatiana was going to retire soon and step down as queen. While someone killed her. It would be easier to blame someone else for kill queen. While they tried to their person on the thrown. However, their person was unable to get the thrown. In order to hide their tracks, they make Riley the center of all the evidence. But we all know that Riley's silver stake wasn't found at the crime scene. Dimitri said, "It is unique has markings around the top that are made of coiled barbwire and thrown"s. Riley had her silver stake with her when she was arrested, according to Abe.
Vasilissa shouted, "Oh my god, Riley must think we forgot about her." After being held up in a cage for 18 months, Christian was apparently not too happy to find his best friend. Christian could be a little irritated with you guys right now. Christian is returned, Vasilissa remarked. Vasilissa! said Janine. Vasilissa looked back at Guardian Janine noticed how difficult it was to read her face. We're talking about Riley, not Christian, Janine remarked. Riley might catch you by surprise. Riley had grown out her hair and nails, lost a lot of weight, and had less mussel mass. She is nothing like herself.
Janine and I are taking Riley to the hospital and guardian building to collect the items they took from her on the day arrest her. If you want to come and visit Riley tomorrow. Riley will receive assistance from Christian. Belikov, you may give your mum a call and find out how she's doing. Yes, sir, replied Dimitri.
(Riley house)
They crossed the court grounds to get to Riley's rural townhouse. Vasilissa, Eddie, Dimitri, Adrian and Rose froze in front of Riley house. Vasilissa said, "Damn! Riley's house makes Adrian's parents' mansion looks like apartment building was comparison to Riley's lovely home. They could see Riley had a wrap around porch with three floors the walls was stones and stone path leading to front door. Rose said, "You know Riley always had an eye for beautiful things." Do you believe Riley would consent to us moving in?" Adrian asked. Eddie and Dimitri both nod simultaneously. Rose said, You could ask her.
Before everyone else, Dimitri arrived and noticed scuffs on the door's edge. The scratches along the edge of the door, which indicated that guardians had likely attempted to force it at some point, were revealed by Dimitri when he began to examine it. Roza and Eddie, have a look at this, Dimitri remarked. Moving on, Eddie and Rose noticed scrapes on the edge of the door. Rose stated: "The guardians must have struggled to enter Riley's home. Because the windows and door are built of steel, and the windows are bulletproof." Eddie and Dimitri were surprised to see Riley's was build differnet from the others.
Dimitri banged on the door and they waited for an answer. As they wait for someone to open the door. Vasilissa asked, "Rose, do you not have the key to Riley's house?" Rose reached into her pocket for her key ring and began looking for Riley's house keys. Rose walked over to the entrance. Putting the key into the keyhole, turn the lock left, and then right. Rose reach down and move a panel out of the way. Rose place her fingers on scanner. So that scanner could read her fingerprints. When the door open by it self. "Odd lock," Eddie exclaimed. Keeps the alarms from going off, Rose added. Riley's home is filled with exquisite collectibles and priceless items. Rose looked at her friends that surprise that Riley would have exquisite collectibles and priceless items.
Rose looked friends see their mouths drop open and in surprise. Rose said, "I don't understand why you be surprise that never realized that Riley was different from me. Have anyone notice that Riley always had a eye for things. " Now that you mention something about it," Vasilissa remarked. Yes!" Dimitri said, "Riley was silent and waiting, Rose yelled in your face, Dimitri added. You two are as different from each other like day and night.
When the door opened, Rose retrieved her key from the keyhole and entered. The darkened room was obvious to all. Vasilissa called Riley. But they never received a response. When Rose turned on the light, she was surprised to see nothing out of place.
Eddie and Dimitri began looking in the adjacent rooms encase something happened. Meanwhile, Vasilssa, Rose, and Adrian moved into the living room. Rose noticed many objects missing or move from it normal place. Vasilisa remarked, "Riley receives new furniture. Rose stated: "It had to be Abe. The guardians searched Riley's home for proof. While searching the house for evidence, the guardians could cause damage to other furniture. Riley owned some lovely furnishings. Vasilissa said, "Oh god!"
"Little Dhampir!" Adrian said. Adrian was standing in front of the cracked mirror. When Rose turned around and approached him. Rose looked up at Adrian asked, "what is it?" Rose asked. Adrian said, "Look!" Rose turned to discover a broken mirror attached with a folded letter. Rose reached up, retrieved the letter, and began to read it.
To: Rose,
I was here and you was gone. Now your here and I am gone. When I need you the most. You was never here for me like you would be for Vasilissa. So have left to get my head on straite. Someday I might return. Please don't search for me. In about two minutes the alarm while sound and house will go in locked down. There will be a strigoi attack on the court.
Good Bye! Riley
Dimitri returned to the living room to inform everyone that Riley and Christian were nowhere to be located in the house. Rose said, "Riley left court! " Oh gosh," exclaimed Vasilissa. Adrian comforted Rose by placing his arm around her shoulder and pulled Rose to him. Rose started cry feeling the lost of her sister.
When the alarms started going off. The shutters came down covering the windows and door. Locking everyone inside of Riley house. Dimitri found it impressive that Riley house had alarm system.
Eddie came out of the kitchen with a sandwich in hand and said, It seems the locked in side the house. Dimitri took the letter from Rose and began reading it aloud to himself before realizing Riley's secret. Riley shared the same gift as his grandmother Yeva, who had the ability of sight, he realized. But it was discovered that Riley had kept it a secret.
