"Dmitri," Brock smiled. "You're alive."

"Indeed I am, Brock, but its not safe for you to get involved with me for now. I'm leaving again soon, but I swear I'll meet you before I do."

"But I just found out you were alive." He thought back to when he didn't listen to his brother and lost him. "Nevermind, Dmitri. I just need to know where's Evan and Alice's father, please."

There was a small silence on the other end, leaving everyone in angst. "Look, Brock. Listen to me and listen carefully because some shit is going to go down very soon."

Without Dmitri knowing, Brock put the phone on speaker so that the rest of the gang could hear.

"The plan was executed perfectly and Evan believes I killed Alice. I'm currently in hiding since he's been tracking me down, but I know he'll give up soon. Once he does, he's going for your gang. I know where you guys are and thankfully, Evan has no clue that you even own that place. Before I 'killed' Alice, Evan told me his plan to bomb the house. As for Alice's father, he's currently still in Michigan but I have a team travelling there as we speak. I have to go now, Brock. Be safe."

"Same to you, Dmitri."

The entire explanation had calmed everyone down. They knew Evan's plans and they were one step ahead of him.

There was a sudden bang above them and all heads turned to the top of the staircase where Alice was standing, a serious expression plastered on her face.

"He's lying."

"What?" Lui asked, his brows furrowed.

"Dmitri is lying," Alice said through gritted teeth. "He's working with Evan and we have to get out of here now."

Jonathan stood up and walked towards the stairs. "Alice, calm down. We can trust Dmitri. There's nothing to be afraid of any more."

In silence, Alice walked down the stairs and it wasn't until she reached the bottom that Delirious and the rest of the gang noticed that her hands were heavily splotched with blood.

"A tracking device," she bluntly stated with a very small chip in her hand. "It was planted in my wrist."

"Oh God."

The raven haired girl's wrist had a large, deep wound. Blood dripped onto the floor and the skin around the wound was bathed in blood.

"Either we leave now or we risk dying here."

"No. Dmitri wouldn't do this," Brock argued.

Alice frowned. "He wouldn't kill you Brock, but I know for certain, he doesn't give a shit about the rest of us. He was probably planning on luring you out of the house so you guys could meet and he'd kill the rest. Now stop and get your shit packed. We're leaving again."

Nobody questioned Alice since she had evidence to back up her argument against Dmitri.

"I'll fix this up, okay?" Tyler said as everyone rushed upstairs to pack their things.

Alice didn't protest and sat on the couch while Wildcat went to get the med kit. The amount of blood loss was beginning to affect her. She was too dizzy to sit upright on the couch.

"Woah, there," Tyler exclaimed, pushing Alice up as she was falling off the couch. "Hey, focus on me."

"It hurts."

"No shit, Sherlock. How'd you even know it was there if you haven't noticed it before?" Tyler asked as he scrubbed some of the blood of her forearm with a wet cloth to see the wound more clearly.

Alice winced as the cloth came into contact with the cut. "I noticed that there was a scar and I've never seen it before in my life."

She knew that it was Dmitri's work though. She would know since she would've seen the wound before she went swimming. There was also the fact that he was there when she was weak from almost drowning and held her so close to him.

"So you just decided to cut open your skin?"

"Yeah. The chip itself had sharpened metal on one side and he probably pushed it into my wrist when he almost had his guys drown me."

That caught Tyler's attention, but he didn't look up from Alice's wrist. "I could see why you wouldn't notice since its so small, but why is this cut so big."

"Well, I used the dagger I keep under my pillow and I felt the chip with this first cut I made but it was so tiny that I had to deepen the wound and ise tweezers. Its fine though. I know I didn't damage any nerves, just a bit of tissue and I lost a lot of blood."

"You're one crazy bitch, you know that? Now, I need you to calm yourself down. I'm going to have to use alcohol before I stitch this up since I have no time for something less painful."

A single drop made Alice scream and as Tyler continued to clean around the corners of the wound, Alice's screams even became painful to hear. Then came the stitches, which was another five minutes of screaming and shouting.

"Its done, babe."

"Don't call me babe, but thank you Tyler," Alice said with a smile. She got up to start packing her own things, but immediately regretted it after she stumbled and Tyler had to catch her before she fell again. "Fuck."

"You put yourself through some painful shit. I'll tell Craig to pack your things up too. Just rest for now. We'll leave soon, babe."

"Dumbass!" Alice called out as Tyler walked upstairs laughing. She obviously couldn't get him to stop calling her babe since Tyler mostly responded to physical threats and she was in no condition to even stand up.

Life was already difficult as it was, but the gang's new situation would lead them into a lot more mess and Alice wasn't mentally prepared for the things to come.
