"Accept? Just what did he mean by accept?"

"And how could he so easily tell that jerk that he has the USB? Is he really going to give it to him?"

"I still don't get what's going on."

"Why did you slap him so suddenly? Did he say anything?"

"Of course he said something. Iris wouldn't hit him for no reason, right?"

Lucy looked at Iris who was quiet thinking about all the questions that everyone else was speaking out loud. They were at the secret hideout along with George and Arthur. She explains to them what he said.

"How did he found out that you know Logan?"

"Maybe he saw you two talking."

"Yeah before all this happened, you were talking to him and Duncan."

"Which reminds me, what was that about?"

Iris then explains to them about how Duncan claims to have changed and is on their side now.

"I sure hope that is true. We don't want him coming after us."

"It is true."

Arthur who was silence this whole moment spoke up. He had known Duncan since he was a small kid. He grew up with them as family and even though he may have went to the wrong path, he was never bad from the heart.

"I think so too. I believe him. Logan seemed to believe him too."

Iris added, nodding

"The question remains, what happens now?"

"Rikky publicly shut down the organisation. They're only gonna focus on the crimes part, I presume."

"Yeah so what's going to happen to us?"

"Did he give you any kind of orders or anything?"

George asks Lucy who shakes her head in disagreement,

"No. He didn't say anything."

"We still forgot one thing. Why did Logan go with Rikky?"

"They're all friends you know. Or used to be."

Iris explained about those three being in a band in high school. Everyone's eyes went round at this except Arthur and Lucy who already knew.

"What?!"

"Wow....."

"That is so unexpected...."

"I never imagined this..."

"Should we begin the rebellion?"

"I think it's time."

They all started nodding and sharing their agreed thoughts but Iris instead stated the opposite,

"No. Not now. He has the government and the military with him. We can't win against such odds."

"How do we get rid of these unfavourable conditions?"

"There must be some way for this alliance to be broken..."

"There is."

Iris smiled, making everyone remember the USB

"But.....Rikky is going to kill you and everyone around you if you do anything...."

"We will take precautions."

"Your family can come live with us."

Arthur offered,

"They'll be safe there. I assure you."

".....mom would like that....."

"Then it's settled. I'll send my driver over right now to get them. You can explain everything to her later on. She will be shocked but I'm sure she will understand."

"...I hope so..."

"Everyone else, we need to be safe and discreet then ever. It's better if we don't live at our current locations."

"I'll stay with Lucy at the restaurant."

Luke replied

"Then Amelia, Ella and I can go live at my father's house."

Alex offered. Her father was a politician and he would surely protect her daughter.

"He would't say anything?"

"Nah."

"Plus I have a feeling he is with us."

"Max and I can stay here, at the hideout."

Henry added

"Well that settles it, we need to be on our guard."

"Did Rikky or anyone else contact you to give you a mission?"

George inquired, looking at Lucy who shook her head,

"No. I have no clue what that guy wants."

"We will have to wait and see..."

"What about Logan? What is he going to do?"

"He managed to save you for now, but he won't be able to do that for a long time. We need to plan our move before that."

Lucy retorted at Iris's questions

"For now, we should all get some rest and think about this. Let's meet tomorrow night at the restaurant."

Everyone nods in agreement

"Wait...where do I stay?"

Iris asked

"Why, of course, with us. I told you your family can stay as long as they want, it includes you as well."

Arthur politely replied, in response Iris gave a soft smile.
