Willow and Sky arrived back at their homes.
"Why did they ask you about grandmother?", Willow asked Sky.
"I don't know. They knew her name", Sky said.
"And where have you two been?", Gina asked.
Both girls smiled. For an old woman, Gina was fast, had good hearing, and spoke both languages with ease.
"Keeping an eye on the fence. We thought maybe they brought back Quinn", Willow lied.
Sky wasn't a good liar. Gina nodded.
"You don't need to do that. Your fathers are keeping watch. I want you girls to stay away from that place. Trust me", Gina said.
Both girls nodded. Gina smiled.
"Grandmother, what if they don't return Quinn?", Sky asked.
Gina sighed.
"Then I will go and meet with their leader, discuss a return or exchange of some sort", Gina said.
Sky nodded.
"I know you two are worried about her. I am too. She's my great granddaughter. I've already discussed it with Brie. If by the end of this month she is not home with us, I will go and get her", Gina said.
Sky and Willow nodded.
"Then we find you three husbands", Gina said.
Willow took a step towards Gina.
"There are more of us out there?", Willow asked.
Gina nodded.
"Where do you two think I go for weeks on end. I keep an eye on everyone", Gina said, winking at the girls.
"What if we don't like these suitors?", Sky asked.
"My dear Sky, there aren't many of us left because of the dark ones. My marriage was arranged, your parents marriage was as well. These men are smart, strong, and will provide for you", Gina said.
Sky thought of Dean. They couldn't say no to it. Its how things were.
"Now excuse me. I need to converse with the adults about trade options we can make with the people behind the fence", Gina said.
Both girls nodded. Willow looked at Sky.
"Your worried", Willow said.
Sky looked at her friend.
"Don't act like you didn't feel anything for that man you helped save. I see it, aunt Brie saw it.", Sky said.
"But nothing can come of it. We just need to keep a distance from them", Willow said.
Sky nodded.
Roman woke up to hear Dean and Seth calling him from the living room. He stood slowly as to not wake Quinn. Walking out of the room and closing the door behind him.
"Gina Bella is her grandmother", Dean said.
"And she use to live in the abandoned house near my parents.", Roman said.
Both men nodded.
"Her family, along with a lot of other families just suddenly disappeared. Not just from our town, but others. All around the same time the wild ones appeared.", Dean said.
"So this Gina, did all of this? How?", Roman asked.
"I don't think so. She just checked out the book, but I'm pretty sure the adults around her came up with the idea. We need to talk to someone who was there around that time", Seth said.
"You want to tell our parents, our dads, who need I remind you are guards, that we have a wild one in my house. They will take her from me.", Roman said.
"Relax big guy, we don't need to tell them that part. Just interested is all.", Dean said.
Seth nodded.
"And when they ask why we are suddenly so interested in this, then what?", Roman asked.
"I can tell them it's for my kids. New project. After my accident I enlisted you two to help me", Seth said.
Roman was hesitant, but this was important. If they could prove that Quinn's family once lived inside the fence, maybe, just maybe he could keep her.
"Ok, but first, let's check out that abandoned house. Maybe they left the book or pictures, something that can help us", Roman said.
Dean and Seth nodded. Roman went back to his room. Quinn was sitting up and wiping her eyes.
"Hey", he said smiling.
She returned. He sat beside her and kissed her. He moaned.
"I'll be back", he said.
He lifted her and took her to the living room. Making a sandwich and handing it to her.
"I won't be gone long", he said.
She took a bite and listened to what he said, not understanding it though. She watched as they walked out.
The guys arrived at the empty house. The windows were boarded up as the roof looked like it was about to collapse.
"How do we get in?", Seth asked.
Dean stuck some wire looking thing in the key whole and turned it hard. The knob popped right off.
"The house is old, doorknob was already coming off, just needed a push", Dean shrugged.
All three men walked in. It was dark inside. Roman turned the flashlight on his phone. The furniture was moldy and covered in dust.
"They didn't take anything. Just left", Dean said.
Seth walked over to the photos hanging on the wall. Blowing the dust off and wiping it with his hand.
"You think one of these girls is Gina?", Seth asked, showing them the photo.
"Take it", Roman said.
Seth nodded. They walked into the kitchen. Dirty dishes still on the table, flies and roaches.
"Didn't even eat dinner", Dean said.
"You think maybe they were in danger?", Roman asked.
"The only person who could tell us that is Gina", Dean said.
"Found a phonebook. Numbers, addresses, and names.", Seth said, shaking the brown book that was falling apart.
They walked out of the kitchen and towards a room that had a television and toys. A coloring book was left open on the floor, crayons beside it.
"Kid stayed inside the lines", Dean said chuckling.
They went upstairs and found kids rooms. Two girls and a boy. Gina was written out on one door.
"Charlie and Diana. Her siblings", Dean said.
The covers on two of the kids beds were thrown on the floor. The parents and Gina's beds were made.
"I don't understand, there were five place settings at the dinner table. All had food. So why are their beds messed up?", Seth said.
"Obviously Gina must have been the one coloring since her bed was made. Explains why she stayed inside the lines as you pointed out", Roman said.
"It looks like they stormed in here and just picked the kids up and left.", Dean said.
"Why would they make it look like they were enjoying dinner? This place is staged. Why?", Roman asked.
"To make it look like they were one big happy family.", Dean suggested.
"Unless the kids weren't the ones at the table with the parents", Seth said.
Roman and Dean looked at him. Seth went back downstairs and into the kitchen.
"What?", Dean asked, once he and Roman joined him.
"Gina must have been listening in. I don't think she was at the table", Seth said.
He walked over to trash can and tipped it over. Chicken bones, along with a bottle of wine and a few beer cans rolled out.
"Are you thinking maybe her dad made some kind of deal or owed people money? Once the guys left, maybe he grabbed his wife and kids and got the hell out", Dean said.
"We need to talk to our dads and now", Roman said.
The guys nodded. Walking out. Night had fallen and the temperature dropped.
Quinn limped into the kitchen. She wanted something to drink. Remembering where Roman had the cups and opening the fridge. She stopped when headlights flashed on the ceiling. She didn't know how to brighten the room the way Roman did. The only light was from the tv.
She walked out into the living room. Peeking out of the curtain, she saw a blonde woman walk up to Roman's door. She made her way back to the kitchen and hid under the table. Seeing the woman's feet walk back and forth.
"I know he moved that whore in. I've been watching his house and no one comes in and out.", Lana said.
"You realize you're stalking him now", Charlotte said.
"He loves me still Char, I know it. I'm going to find proof that she exists and then wait for them to come inside and throw it in his face. I'm going to let her know that he's mine", Lana said.
"I can't wait to say I told you so", Charlotte said.
Lana sighed and walked into his room. Quinn poked her head around the corner and noticed this woman throwing Roman's things around. Seeing her shadow, Quinn went back under the table. She watched her lift books and papers. She was looking for something, Quinn knew. When Lana disappeared again, Quinn lifted the latch on the back door like she's seen Roman do.
She made her way out into the cold and closed the door quietly. Her leg was hurting from the weight she was putting on it and the cold. Hiding in the small house Roman had in the back. She sat on the floor and hugged her body. She needed to stay warm.
Getting to the guards office. All three dads were in there with a few trainees.
"Hey boys, what can we do for you?", Dave asked.
"We need to talk about Gina Bella", Dean said.
The three older men froze and looked at each other. Dean pointed at them.
"What was that?", he asked.
"What was what?", Hunter asked his son.
"That look. You three know something", Seth said.
"Look ok, it's important that we know what you know. You three know that when we start investigating something, we won't stop till we find out the truth", Roman said.
"And not some made up story either. We want the truth. All of it", Dean said.
Sika sighed and nodded.
"I guess you three are old enough to know the truth", he said.
"But not tonight. Lets do dinner tomorrow, it's a long story", Dave said.
Roman, Dean, and Seth nodded. They would take that.
Once Roman got home, he noticed Lana's car in the driveway.
"Shit", he mumbled as he got off.
He rushed inside and he could smell something coming from the kitchen. Lana was in there cooking.
"Dinner's ready", she said smiling.
"What the hell are you doing in my house? We talked about this Lana", Roman said angry.
When she wasn't looking, his eyes were glancing around for traces of Quinn.
"I bet she doesn't do this for you. She doesn't know what your favorite dish is. I do.", Lana said.
Roman sighed and rubbed his eyes. Lana walked over to him and placed her hand on his chest.
"She doesn't know your favorite position. She doesn't know how to satisfy you like I can baby", Lana said.
Roman smirked.
"She does just fine, and as for my favorite position, she knows", he said, moving away from her.
"We've known each other since we were kids Rome. You are really going to throw that away for her. Give me a second chance, please. I won't fuck it up this time. Let me prove that to you", Lana said.
