Salem and Bismarck this morning. Both female. One has been identified as a Kimberly Smith,
college student at Bismarck, twenty years old, dark hair, dark eves. The other was identified

save young girls from that town. I could still save the people of New Salem.
I raised my head, wiping the tears from my tear-stained cheeks and decided it was time to take back
that little part of me that they took
“It’s time for me to go back home.” I told them, my face contorted with rage. “It’s time to punish the as
sholes who hurt me, so they won’t ever do it again.”
Are you sure, honey? Are you sure you can face them?” Cristos asked unconvinced..
Xavier said there’s no expiration date on revenge. It has been nine years since I left. I’ve ed long
enough. If I don’t do anything now, more girls will end up in theke. That’s something I can’t live with
knowing I can do something about it… we can do something about it,” I said, my voice low from the
anger I felt.
“I’ll do it,” Xavier volunteered. “Give me forty-eight hours and it’s a done deal.”
“They don’t deserve to die that easily, Xavier,” I argued. “I want them to suffer. I want the
whole town to know the truth. I want their families to be ashamed of them. I want them to
feel pain.

“Alright,” Sebastian surprisingly agreed so easily. Remember, I have a debt to pay. But if
we’re going to this, we need to n meticulously. We can’t just be two steps ahead of them. We need
to be a mile ahead of them.”
“What do you propose, Sebastian?” I asked.
“Cristos, what do you know about the four men? Are they single or married with kids?” Sebastian
asked.
“Cristian Murdock is the only one among the four who’s married. He’s married to a Lisa Brent,” Cristos
replied. Lisa married Cris?! Oh wow. She nabbed her all time crush.
“Is this the same Lisa who lured you to the gym, Joy?” Sebastian asked me. I nodded my head.
“Cristos, gather information on Lisa Murdock. She must know something.”
“She’s a realtor,” Cristos mumbled, clicking rapidly on hisptop. “And on her agency’s website, there’s
a two-storey colonial dubbed “The Ol’ Taylor House” for sale.”
Wait a minute… My dad’s old house is for sale? I asked, surprised. Cristos showed me the screen of
hisptop and I saw my old house. The house where I had many fond childhood memories. “Make an
offer. I’m buying it.” He nodded his head and began to work his magic.
Okay, this is what I have nned,” Sebastian said. “The boys and I will be moving to New Salem to put
down some roots and learn about the people of the town while gathering evidence against these men.
We need new identities, a change of hair color or hair style. maybe contact lenses orser surgery. To
avoid detection by the Angels of Darkness, we will employ dummy look alikes who will pretend to be us
here in Califoria while we are there. Cristos, have Cas sandra scout for men and women who resemble
all four of us.”

illing to sell or if there are anymercial spaces open for lease. We will pretend ottery winners or
heirs to a small fortune when we move there,” Sebastian said.
“On it.” Xavier took out his phone and dialed.
“And what about me?” I asked. Sebastian sighed.
“You will be doing the most difficult part of our deception, Joy,” he said, taking my hands in his.
“Actually, it will be difficult for all of us. You are a beautiful and bright woman and they are men. I need
you to make them fall in love with you.”
