Arriving at the coordinates that Henry has to send her, Sarah James is shocked to find an inviting cabin so deep in the swamps.

The light inside and outside the cabin is her beacon of light in the darkness of the light. Because of the changing seasons, the winter moon is already descending upon the treeline when Sarah leaves her car to knock on Henry's door.

Despite having skipped her evening workout Sarah is exhausted from her mother's scam and fighting her stepfather, so much so, that she after waiting for two minutes tries to go in, technically being invited. To her utter delight, the front door is unlocked.

Moving inside, Sarah is instantly enveloped by the warmth from the crackling fire in the chimney. Looking around she is instantly surprised by two things. First, everything is squeaky clean, totally at odds with her impressions of bachelor pets. Second, nothing seems misplaced as if this cabin was a showcase house for potential buyers, because nothing is indicating that someone is actually living here.

-It must be because he just came back from overseas...- The starlet thinks to herself further exploring the ground floor. To the left of the entrance is an inviting state of the art kitchen. White Italian marble used on the floor and on top of every surface make this kitchen seem not only expensive but also homey. Centerpieces of the kitchen are for one the silver extra large fridge and the kitchen island in the middle of the kitchen. The walls are either occupied with two-piece cabinets, one overhead and one underneath marble work surfaces.

-What a masterpiece! - She can only think of when describing this kitchen. Taking a glass out of one overhead cabin and getting water from a gorgeous sink, she moves into the next room.

Coming into the dining room, Sarah is blasted away by the view looking out of the huge wall-sized windows. A silent creek and a small pier are illuminated by moonlight but also the outdoor lighting. -Looks perfect. Just like a painting.- She thinks before averting her eyes to check out the room. Seeing a huge flat screen on the wall a library of movies and video games on the shelves, she is instantly reminded that a man is living here.

-Still a man cave...- She thinks to turn on the TV and starts looking through the shelves until she finds a picture of Henry and his family. On the first casual look, the family seems normal a beautiful Asian looking woman, a tall good looking black man, and a Henry around six years. On the second look at which Sara focuses less on the cute Henry but at his parents, her breathing freezes. Only now does she recognize the adult male in the picture remember his name.

-Edgar King, the Founder and current Ceo of King Investments, a multibillion-dollar investment firm and a social circle above even her Stepfather Jack Kyles.- Thinking about the implications that this man being Henry's father entails. -Holy freaking shit! Henry is rich?!-

With that moving on to the next room is suddenly a lot harder to do.

-Is he too good for me?- Having depressing thoughts as these she goes into the next room that as it turns out is a bathroom. There she instantly falls in love with the family sized hot tub. Huge and comfortable at the same time Sarah instantly can imagine herself lounging inside of it looking over the creek.

Forcing herself to exit her new favorite place in Henry's cabin she comes full circle, rentering the entrance, where one set of stairs lead to the second floor. Wanting to move up the stairs curious about what she might find in her new rich friend's bedroom, just like a child on an adventure, she hears a motorcycle outside.

-Is that Henry?- Sarah asks herself, moving to the front door, spying through the window next to it.

___________

Being surprised by the Ferrari on my lawn, my mind doesn't connect it to the timid, hoody wearing Sarah from the airport.

-Hm. That is odd. Does Bets or dad now have a Ferrar? And how do they have my address already.- Asking myself that a notification pops up, reminding me of its existence?

< Notification: Incoming call [Betsy King]>

<Connect?>

Establishing the connection I instantly hear my sisters voice in my mind accusing me: ''Did you have to shoot at my fiance?''

Remembering Michaels stone cold face even when bullets fly his way, I am shocked that the psycho is able to tell on me. -Should have aimed between his eyes.-

''Relax Bets the bullet only grazed your hubby's skull,'' I tell her but am instantly cursed to the moon and back. Hearing her berating come to an end I am finally able to ask her the pressing question of the Ferraris owner.

''I know I did wrong, but please tell me that the Ferrari parked on the lawn of my cabin is yours and not dads?''

''Have you already forgotten dad hates Ferraris and only buys Bentleys and Porsches, never Ferraris and it ain't mine. My monthly allowance doesn't cover a Ferrari. Wait a minute, you have bought a cabin? When did that happen?''

Hearing my sister's words of the car neither belonging to her or my father I instantly draw my gun, equipping the silencer on it and move out of sight from the front porch. Out of side, I command the system to show me the map and instantly a mental minimap appears in my mind showing my current position, the cabins structure and one single green dot behind a window near my front door.

Moving around the house I hear Sarah's voice from the gaming room saying: ''I always tell them, 'Chanel No.5' because it's the truth… And yet, I don't want to say 'nude'. But it's the truth!..''

My mind short circuits and I move into action without any care, only thinking the worst. -Could be CI, but they don't drive in Ferraris. Could be Michael holding a grudge because of scamming him by paying only a dollar for the land, but he also doesn't have the pockets to fit the bill. MI7 taking Sarah hostage? Most likely because they have the pockets and keep grudges for a long time...-

Moving through the open bathroom door connecting the back porch with the inside, I first go to the entrance, expecting an armed intruder.

Gun pointed high I sneak up on the blond woman still looking outside. My right covering her mouth and left pointing my gun at the small of her back, I instantly take the intruder hostage warning.

''Don't move I have a 9 mil aimed at your kidneys. One wrong move and you will painfully bleed out.''

Wordlessly I direct the woman into the game room where I think Sarah is held captive. Without looking at the women's face I am ready to hit her unconscious the moment I see Sarah.

What I find in the game room is not what I expect to see. Nobody tight up on the sofa, but a turned on TV showing Sarah for a short moment in the woods before showing a title screen of an upcoming movie called 'Dawn 3-Until Dawn part I' before switching to another saying 'Starring Sarah James and Robert Paiton- in theaters- December 21'.

''What the fuck?'' I say thinking out loud before turning my blond hostage around. Looking at the woman's face framed by blond and partly covered by my hand mouth, I remove my hand from her thinking.

-Sarah is a movie star?-

''I am sorry for entering!'' Sarah tells me frightened looking at my still drawn gun aimed at her.

Lowering my gun embarrassed, I tell her guilty admitting my fault. ''You don't have to be sorry for entering. I invited you. It just didn't cross my mind that the Ferrari on my lawn was yours. After my sister...'' I stop explaining and stop apologizing because am amazed by one blond heading angle.

''Stop talking and let me hug you.'' I hear coming from my chest and feel a sudden wetness on my chest. Hugging Sarah back, I press her even closer to my chest, asking her: ''How can I make this up to you?''

Hearing a light sniffing, I look down, finding Sarah look up at me. Just when I am about to kiss her she answers me in a childish voice totally ruining the mood: ''To make it up to me, let's watch 'All I Want for Christmas' with Leslie Nielsen and eat pizza!''
