(Kitchen)

Riley came down the stairs to see her father sitting at the dinner table, reading the newspaper, drinking coffee, and wearing a lime suit. Riley turns her head to the living room to see Mikhail sitting on the sofa, reading a book. Riley kept moving down the stairs and stepped into the kitchen and said, "Good morning, Baba."

Abe peered over the newspaper to see his young daughter dressed in a white tank top and a pair of black yoga pants, leggings, and running shoes with her hair in a ponytail. Abe said, Good morning, Riley. So where are you off to?" Riley said, "Morning run!" Abe said, "It's raining." Riley said, "I guess that means no running today. "I have to work out in the gym before I go to work."

Abe asked, "Where is the gym?" Riley said, "In the backyard, in the building that I had built after I bought a lot behind the house and had a gym built there, Abe looked surprised to discover that his young daughter had bought another lot and had a gym in place to keep up on her workout. Abe asked, "Where do you work?" Riley said, "At my book shop called The Hidden Treasure at the end of the street in Roll of Buildings."

Riley had walked over to the coffee pot and got her tumbler to fill with coffee. Abe said, "In less than a month, you will have to return to court for your court case." Riley stopped, put milk in her coffee, and said, Baba, you need to understand I can't return to court right now." "Because if I return to court, they will try to kill me." "Because I know the truth about this hind from everyone." "The reason they want to kill Queen Tatiana and make sure Dhampier could be queen." Nobody stop asking the most important question.

Abe said, "What is the most important question?" Riley asked, "How did Camille Conta become Queen when she didn't have any Royle blood in her veils?" Abe looked surprised to discover that their new queen had no Royle blood in her veils. Riley said, "Unless Camille Conta married someone who has Royle blood in their veils and she has an illicit relationship with Guardian Stone." Guadrian Stone and Guadrian Steel are the ones who arrested me for assassinating Queen Tatiana."

Abe's mouth had dropped open, when he discovered this little bit of information that his daughter knew. Riley turned around, stirring her coffee, to see for the first time that her father was speechless to discover this information that was hidden from everyone. Riley asked, Something wrong, Baba?" Abe shut his mouth and said, No, sweetheart. You just surprised Baba with his little information.

When they hear Janine's voice asking Guardian Tanner, if reading a book is the best way to keep the house safe." Riley said, "Mammy up!" Well, off to do my workout. Before I have to go to work. Riley walked over and kissed Abe on the cheek. Leaving the kitchen alone with his thoughts.

Riley said, "Mommy, could you please leave Mikheal alone and let him finish his book in peace?" Janine said, "Riley! Where are you off to?" Riley said, "Gym for morning work out." Mikheal said, "Well, it's Janine's turn to guard the house while I work out with Riley." Janine said, "Wait a minute!" Riley said, "Everyone here has to pull their own weight." "Evey you, Mommy." Janine realized Riley was right. Riley said, "Mommy, you have a day shift in guarding the house."

Janine said, "Your father has something he needs to do today." Riley said, I'm sorry. But the Queen comes first." Titanta over-trumps Baba, and this is not questionable." "As a guardian, you know how important she is." "You will not leave the house, leaving Dimitri, Mikheal, and Eddie to pick up the slack." "Because you're not doing your job."

Mikheal and Janine looked surprised that Riley was standing up for right." Dimitri said, Unless Queen Tatiana gives you the right to leave with Abe Mazur. "You will stay and do your job." Riley turned around, leaving her mother standing there, and realized Riley had become stronger in the two years she had been gone. Mikheal followed behind Riley to the gym.

Dimitri had gone to the kitchen to get his coffee. Abe said, "Riley has become stronger in the past two years to stand against her own mother for what is right." Adrian said, But nightmares come at night to haunt her dreams." Christian said, "Every night, she screams in her sleep and relives having lived for 18 months in prison facing her demons." Christian was checking the calendar to see if Riley had an appointment with her counter. Christian said, Today is Riley's appointment with counters.

Janine asked, "What do you mean by that appointment with her counters?" Christian said, "Riley has been going for a year to talk to someone to help her overcome being locked in prison and the demons that she faced." Adrain said, "Is this a human place?" Christian said, "No! Moroi and Dhampier help centers." Riley spoke to one of the counters there about what happened to her." Eddie said, "I have heard about places like that that help dhampiers overcome killing their first strigoi."

Dimitri said, "This is a good thing; it will help Riley in the end to face demons from her past." Janine said, I'm already proud of her for standing up for what's right." In her living room, Riley show standing against her mother and puts me in place." "I couldn't have been prouder of her." Dimitri asked, Where is Riley now?" Abe said, "In the gym!" Riley bought a lot behind her house and had a gym put in for her training. You can find her working out before she has to go to work." Dimitri put his coffee cup in the sink and let the kitchen work out with Riley and Mikheal.

Eddie asked, "Who morning detail?" Janine said, "I am!"

Christian and Adrian are cooking breakfast while Janine and Abe sit at the table. Eddie walked the house, making sure everything was alright, before checking on Queen. Eddie checked every window and door to make sure they were locked and to see if anything was out of place. Before returning to report, Janine.

(The Alchemists)

Riley is standing at her counter at her book shop called The Hidden Treasure. She looking through the box full of the new books that arrived earlier that day. When the door opened, the bell rang, and the scent of coffee hung in the air as Abe stepped inside Riley's bookshop. Riley turned her head and opened her mouth to say, Welcome to my shop." Riley observes her father, Adrian, and Eddie. Seeing her mother still at Riley's house guarding the queen

Riley said, "Welcome to my shop." How can I help you today?" Adrian smiled to see Riley treating her father like any other customer that would come through her door. Abe turned his head to his daughter and smiled to see Riley standing at the counter, holding a few books in her hands. Abe looked around to see Guardian Belikov sitting in an air-chair next to Western so that he could watch the full shop from the window seat.

Eddie slowly walked over to the middle roll of the books. Making it look like he was looking for a few books. While Adrian walked over to Riley to help with new books. Abe's eyes slowly moved around the bookshop to see cameras on the walls. Abe stepped over next to Riley to see the laptop open, showing a different camera views over the hold shop.

Abe asked, "What is on the second floor of your shop?" Riley said, "My office and antiques that I get from the estate sale." Adrian said, "Still want these books?" Riley looked over at Adrian and said, "They are not for sale, Adrian. "You just need to hold your damn horses until I'm done translating from the different languages that Annie wrote books in."

Abe asked, "Who is Annie?" Eddie said, "Annie was St. Vladimir's guardian." "It seems Riley discovered a piece of history at an estate sale." "Adrian wants to buy the books from Riley has." Abe asked, "How many books are in the set?" Riley said, "Five in a set and all five different languages. "I am only on the third book." I still have two more to go through. The third book is wrote in Russian. Dimitri speak up and said, "I could you translate the book because I speak and read Russian. Riley said, "Thank you! Mr. Belikov."

Adrian kept his eyes on Riley. Who went back, looking back at the books in her hands. Abe said, "I think I will check out your office." Riley said, "You might have trouble getting past the locks on the door." Abe looked at Riley knew that she had a new pass code or new locks for the office door. Abe reached his hand out and said, "Give me the keys and pass code.

Riley turned her head at her father and said, It's not so easy to get past the door between the first and second floors." "If you could get past the first lock, then you are going to have a really hard problem getting into my office." Abe said, New locks?" Riley smiled and said, "Yes!" Adrian, hand me my laptop, and Mr. Belikov could keep an eye on my shop until I return. Dimitri said, "Yes, Riley!"

The man walked around the bookshelf and said, I'm ready to check out." Riley turned her head to see the older man and said, "Hello David, it's good to see you again." "When did you get back from your trip?" David said, "A few days ago." "We had a clean-up in the north."

Abe, Adrian, Eddie, and Dimitri could see the golden lily on his check and knew David was an alchemist. Riley said, "You need an office here in San Francisco, as many times as I have called you." "It takes two hours for all of you to arrive to discover strigoi in the alley next to garbage cans." David said, "Our boss made the design to set up an office here in San Francisco in the next few weeks." So the dhampiers don't have to call out for us. Riley said,That's great news. So who will be working with you?"

Riley walked around the counter, reached out, took the books from David, started scanning them, and the total of four books was $67.84. Riley said, "The total is $67.84." David reached into his coat and pulled out his wallet to get his money and said, "Good to see Dhampier doing more guardian Moroi. Riley said, Thank you, David."

Eddie, Abe, Adrian, and Dimitri notice Riley speaking kind to David. David reached into his wallet and handed Riley his business card and said, "When you need cleaning up again, call this number, and we will come out to clean up the problem." Riley said, "So I don't have to call Sydney Sage anymore."

David said, "Sydney Sage is going to work for us here in San Francisco." Riley said, "Sydney get shit done." "Sydney was a big help in Russian a few years ago." David said, "Sydney does things by the book." Riley had put the books in a bag from The Hidden Treasure and handed the bag to David.

David said, Thanks, Riley!" Riley said, "Come back and see again. David." David leaves the shop, and everyone turns to Riley. Dimitri said, "David is an alchemist.". " Riley said, "So what?" "David is a customer at The Hidden Treasure, and beside that, it's good to know Alchemists are going to be in San Francisco." "So we don't have to call out and wait two hours for them to clean up the area."

Abe's mind was spinning in good and bad ways, knowing that Sydney Sage was going to San Francisco. Abe had a foothold in San Francisco, so he could move on with his plans for dealing with mobs in the West. His daughter had a house and business here in San Francisco. It would help him in many ways. Plus, next door, Near by was sale their house. Abe was planning to buy that house next door to his daughter's house.

(Riley's Office)

Riley said, Baba." Abe snapped out of his thought and said, "Yes, Riley." Riley said, "Welcome back to earth." Adrian, Eddie, and Dimitri laugh to see Riley snap her father out of his thoughts. Riley was holding her laptop in her arm and said, "You want to see the second-floor office." Abe said, Yes!"

Abe started fallowing to the door, and Riley moved panel. Put her right hand on the scanner. When the door opened to show the stair case leading to the second floor of her book shop. Abe moved up the stairs to the second floor to find Riley had bought it at the estate sale. Seeing different items, from books to paintings," Abe asked, "Where did you get stuff from?" Riley said, At the estate sale where I get Annie books."

Abe asked, "Do you know how much they are worth?" Riley said, "This painting is worth a million dollars by itself." "That truck is worth a few hundred thousand dollars because of what's inside it." "If I had to add it up, it would be a few millions of dollars." "But I have been looking for a buyer for these items." "But no one wants at to pay what they are worth." Abe said, "I know people will pay a high price just for that painting, and buyers in other counties have been looking for this items, which will bring a high price."

Riley said, "Really!" "So what is your cut?" Abe said, "Half!" Riley looked at her father until he gave her an eye that said, "Don't mess with the little girl." Riley said, "Alright, if you get a buyer for this item in three days, you get half." "If not, you get 25% after three days." Abe looked surprised to see that his youngest daughter didn't fall for it. Like Rose does. He thought he needed to work on it. Riley said, "Deal or No Deal?" Abe said, "Deal!"

Riley turned and walked over the door, reached over and pressed on the wall, and panel fell to show a different lock. Riley, step up and let it do an eye scan. Riley moved to the next lock and put her hand on the second scanner so it could read her finger prints. The door opened to show Riley's office. Abe stepped inside to find windows showing the street in front of the shop at the road. Notice they were Moroi glass; they let in light. Abel said, "Moroi glass?" Riley said, "Yes, and bulletproof. Abe smiled to see that his youngest daughter was smarter than a normal person.

Abe asked, "Riley, tell me about your gift." Riley said, I can't control it. It doesn't matter if I sleep or wake." "When I have visions of a future event, when I wake, I get headaches after having visions." "But when I sleep, it's easier to see them. " I am scared." "What will happen to me, if I have vision in front of the strigoi?" "Will they kill me or kidnap me?" "So they used me to gain the upper hand."You've seen what happens when I wake and freeze up, and my eyes cloud over to have vision." "Queen Tatiana knew about me because of Yeva Belikov." "Yeva told the queen years ago to be on the lookout for another female Dhampier with the same gift." "She would be a twin female Dhampier with blue eyes."

Riley said, "When the queen discovered me, she sent word for me to return to court to become the new queen. "Because I have battle experiences, a level head, am loyal, true, brave, gifted, intelligent, and have a kind heart." "The Moroi's would fight over the crown while a Dhampier's would understand and listen to my order even if I was on the sidelines.

Abe said, The queen has an odd reason; she wants you near her all the time." Riley looked at her father, trying to understand what he meant. Abe moved closer to Riley and said, "As your father, I'm looking out for you and your torture." "As I do for your twin sister, Rosemarie," Riley smiled at her father and trying to understood what he was saying.

(Riley voice)

After dinner at Riley's house, Christian and Mikhail were doing the dishes. Eddie and Janie are standing guard. While Dimitri was working on the third book that Annie had written. Adrian and Tatiana are sitting in the living room together, watching news from Royle Court on TV about what's happening at court. Abe was on the telephone, talking about selling the painting in Riley's shop. Abe was having trouble with the buyer, who didn't want to pay full price for paint.

When they all started hearing the piano start playing in a different room. Eddie and Janine looked at each other as they heard the piano playing. Then they heard Riley's voice sing a song called Berlin: Take My Breath Away." Everyone froze when they heard Riley sing the song and play the piano.

Christian enters the living room with a tray of hot tea and cups. Christian heard Riley's voice and enjoyed hearing her sing again. Tatiana stood up from the sofa and said, "Guardians, take me to the music room." "I wish to listen to Riley's beautiful voice as she plays the piano." Eddie and Janine moved forward to help the queen. Adrian turned off the TV and stood up next to his great-aunt Titania.

Tatiana said, "Christian, take my tea to the music room." Christian said, "Yes, Tatana." Janine moved next to the queen and took her arm to help queen to the music room. Adrian followed Christian as they moved out of the living room, past the staircase, to the hallway. Until they arrived, door after stair case on the left, Eddie opened the door to see Riley sitting at a piano playing a new song called "Carrie Underwood: Blown Away."

Adrian found something about Riley he didn't know: making her heart jump and beat faster. Eddie turned to see Adrian, who had listened to Riley play and sing. Until Eddie realized that Adrian was in love with Riley. Janine helped Tatian to chair in the corner. While Christian placed tea on the side table with her cup.

Janine took her place by the wall to listen to her youngest daughter play and sing. Eddie took his place next to the wall on the other side of the queen. When the door opened, Abe, Dimitri, and Mikhail walked inside the music room to discover Riley had a beautiful voice while she played the piano. While Dimitri and Mikhail took their place on the wall to listen and watch Riley sing and play the piano.

Abe sits down in one chair to listen to his youngest daughter. Janine leaned over and said, "I didn't know our youngest daughter could play and sing so beautifully." Abe said, Our youngest daughter is full of surprises. While Adrian and Christian sit down on the sofa to listen to the music that Riley sings. Christian said, This is the only way that Riley can work out her feelings through music."

Riley changed to a new song and started singing the song called "Kelly Clarkson: Piece by Piece. Everyone could hear Riley's range, making their mouths drop open as they listened to her voice. Adrian wants to hold Riley in his arms and show her his love. Eddie looked at Adrian's face and saw how much Adrian cared for Riley. He knew at that moment that Adrian was in love with Riley. Adrian hid it and never showed it. He thought he would talk to Adrian about the love he had for Riley.

Abe sits down in one chair to listen to his youngest daughter. Janine leaned over and said, "I didn't know our youngest daughter could play and sing so beautifully." Abe said, Our youngest daughter is full of surprises. While Adrian and Christian sit down on the sofa to listen to the music that Riley sings. Christian said, This is the only way that Riley can work out her feelings through music."

Dimitri and Mikhail were surprised by Riley's voice and beautiful music. The music carried so much that Riley felt like she was hidden from everyone. Tatiana looked over at Adrian and saw the love he had for Riley. Tatiana looked over at Adrian to notice how Adrian was looking at Riley. Soon realized Adrian deeply cared for Riley. Tatiana always knew that Rose wasn't the woman for Adrian. But find out Adrian was in loved with Riley." Does Riley care about Adrian the same way he felt about her. That was question that need to find out.

Riley moved on to the next song, Toby Keith's "God Love Her." Janine could see her youngest daughter keep playing the song and singing until the song came to an end. Riley looked up to find everyone standing around the piano and asked, "Did you all enjoy listening to me play and sing?" Tatiana said, "Always enjoy when sing and playing the piano." Christian and Abe weren't surprised by Riley's singing and piano. Eddie, Mikhail, Dimitri, and Janie found it really surprising that Riley hid it from everyone.

Adrian stood up and walked over to Riley, pulled her out of the pinch, and kissed her in front of everyone. Abe jumped out of his seat and yelled, "Adrian." Adrian pulled away from Riley to look at Abe and Janine's faces. Riley blushed and looked surprised. Christian moved forward, grabbed Riley's hand, and led her out of the music room.
