Caleb went slower than normal, guiding her through many backroads until they arrived at a large complex of warehouses. He stopped at the gate entrance and swung off his bike, pulling his goggles and helmet off.

she quickly got out of her car quietly shutting the door.

Caleb kept his gaze away from Briar's as he said in a low voice, "This won't be difficult. This is an above-ground cover for a large, underground criminal hide-out. I stayed in one of the rooms for a year while I started making connections in the blackmarket. The guy who stole her lives here right now." He started walking for the warehouses. "It's going to be jam-packed at this hour, and no-body knows who you are, so stay close to me if you don't wanna be butchered."

she nodded and walked to his side.

Caleb cleared his throat when they got to a warehouse in the very back of the lot. "This may be uncomfortable, but may want to hold my hand. It'll show the others that you're under my, um, "protection"."

she nodded and grabbed his hand.

Caleb led her through the dark mustiness before arriving at a spot. He bent down and opened a trap door. He quickly led her down, the door shutting after them. He reached into his pocket, and pressed something. Lights flickered on, revealing a spiral staircase. He went down it, slowing down for Briar. Her hand felt as nice in his hand as it had 6 years ago. He sighed heavily.

she looked at him and squeezed his hand.

Caleb looked up, eyebrows flashing up in surprise. 'Why'd she do that?'

"sorry" she said looking away embarrased.

Caleb shook his head and squeezed back gently before looking ahead with a neutral mask on his face. "No, it's fine. I just didn't understand."

"okay" she said softly she loved caleb but refused to say anything thinking he had moved on,

Caleb still loved Briar, he thought as he continued down the stairs, but he figured he wasn't good enough for Briar. He was a criminal and had abandoned his own daughter, even if it hadn't been by choice.

Briar shighed following Caleb.

They reached the ground soon. Suddenly figures dropped all around them, dressed in black and training guns on them. Caleb had a bored look on his face as he held up a hand and said, "'Sup my friends." The guns went down and a figured claimed, "Eh! Caleb! Still up for Poker night Saturday?" Caleb made a finger gun. "You betcha." Another figure asked, "Who's the pretty lady?" Caleb gestured to Briar and lied, "My fiancé." The men and woman around him whistled appreciatively and backed up, revealing a door. "Have fun." Caleb walked through the door, pulling Briar along.

Briar followedd Caleb.

Caleb led her through many twists and turns down gray, white-washed hallways. Suddenly they walk though a doorway to a huge, huge bustling open space with tables, tents, and laughing people walking around with dangerous weapons dangling from their persons, occasionally a fight breaking out in the walk ways. Caleb leans over and whispers, "Welcome to the underworld…"

briar shifted her eyes to caleb slowly then to the front.

Caleb squeezed her hand gently and started leading her through the crowds, ducking and weaving around pick-pockets and murderers. "We need to get the living quarters complex. We're almost there. …Are you doing okay?"

She nodded softly "I'm alright" she said.

They quickly got to a strange complex built into the wall at one end. "He's in here. We'll have to try and lie low so he doesn't catch wind and move." Then he muttered under his breath, "He's fucking dead…."

Briar nodded and followed Caleb.

Caleb went up stairs quickly, pulling a pistol from a holster. "I want you to stay out here. If he doesn't see you, he'll think I'm just dropping by as a friend." He held out the pistol to Briar. "Take this, and wait."

she nodded taking the pistol "plesse be careful".

Caleb nodded and slipped through the door, looking around.
