Maxine couldn't concentrate anymore when Kal didn't stop crying. So, when they reached the safe area, she quickly stopped the car and unbuckled her belt. Then, she crawled to Kal and hushed him. A woman knocked on the door and removed her mask. She quickly unlocked it as Violet opened the door. The dogs growled but Violet signed them as the dogs hushed.
"I want to hold him," Violet said as she climbed inside.
Maxine quickly removed the belts and Violet scooped her son, quickly and gently locking him in her arms. Kal was still crying and then she wiped his tears.
"Mommy's here, love." She kissed his lips as Kal slowly calmed down. Shortly, Harvey came and went to the driver's seat.
"Okay, everyone," Leon said as he checked the engine. "We need to leave now."
Violet put the baby back as the dogs moved and she stayed with her while Maxine went to the shotgun seat, put her seat belt on, and was still in an adrenaline rush. Leon drove back away from the area. At the back seat, the eager mother was busy talking to her son to calm him down which works. He smiled up at her and kissed her.
"Where are we going now?" Maxine asked.
"I don't think that Kal is safe even in the Rossie Empire. We set up a safer place." Leon said and glanced at her.
"Okay, and Terrence?"
"He's doing fine." He only said although he knew that currently, Terrence was inside the facility of the Charles Empire.
Maxine only nodded and didn't ask further since Leon was concentrating on driving.
Leon was too focused on the road when the team reported that they wiped out the traces of the Charles Empire and they are currently cleaning up fast. After a long drive, Kal was now busy sucking on the bottle that Violet provided while he was staring up at her full of love. Violet couldn't stop but smile to finally hold her baby.
"Later, mommy will feed you." She promised.
Shortly, Kal fell asleep and they reached the destination which is a house in a secured subdivision. Leon opened the gate and he drove it to the garage. Then, he hopped out and opened the door while Maxine followed and called out the dogs. They wiggle their tails and sniff around. He took out a cloth and made them sniff it as they started sniffing around and running.
"It's clear," Leon said as he took out the bags and went to the main door while Violet was holding her baby. He opened the door and turned on the lights.
"Whose house is this?" She asked.
"It is my girls' house. We bought it and decorated it. But we couldn't move in because she was too busy in the main city."
"Okay," she nodded her head. "So, did you already stay here?"
"Yes, and it is safer here."
"You got food, Leon?" Violet asked. "I need to eat for my baby."
"Yeah. I set it up three days ago when we stayed here for weekends." He said as he took the bags upstairs. "Guest room is ready. You can stay there Max. I will set up another room for Vi and Kal."
"Okay," She nodded her head as she looked at Kal and Violet. She somehow got attached to Kal and she didn't know what to do if she would sleep alone.
"It's fine. We can stay in the same room." Violet said. "Kal felt comfortable sleeping with Maxi."
"Okay," Leon called out.
"I will see what I can prepare," Max said as she turned back.
"First, you need to drink water. You are shaking too much." She said, "Hold Kal for me. I have to get rid of these clothes."
Maxine carefully held the sleeping angel as she removed the ho lister and a few things on her suit. Then, she removed the top leaving her tank top, her boots, and carefully took Kal from her.
"Hey, I will take him upstairs." She said softly. "Don't worry, Terrence will call you soon."
Maxine only agreed to her as she went to the kitchen.

In Terrence's memories years ago, he knew well about the map of the facility. But some things changed. They had more rooms and more discoveries. Not only that but he managed to take a few samples and record them. He arrived back at the facility in three hours and he was surprised when Johanna, Harvey, and Connor greeted him.
"Okay, what's up?" He asked as he quickly took out his phone to check on his wife. However, everything was blocked. He frowned and glared at them. "What happened?" He quickly checked the recordings. His eyes flared in anger and horror then. He glared at Harvey.
"They are safe," Harvey said as he took out a new phone and gave it to her. "Vi and Leon are with Kal and your wife. Go to them."
Terrence didn't have time to take a shower as he went to his room and grabbed things he needed. He drove his motorbike directly to the location which is two hours drive with a car. But he made it there for an hour. It was already morning when he reached the house. He rang the doorbell many times and quickly and the dogs barked at him. They wiggle their tail excitedly when they smelled him as Leon opened the gate. He waved at him and he drove his big bike inside.
"Where's my wife?" He swiftly asked as he parked his car and removed his helmet.
"She's with Kal and Vi in the guest room." He said.
He rushed inside as the dogs followed him. Then, on the stairs, Max was standing wearing a pair of pajamas. He rushed to her as she did the same and they hugged each other. He kissed her forehead hard, smelled her, and sighed.
"You are safe."
"I am." She smiled up at him. "I did what you told me. They came just right on time." She said.
"Okay, I will set up another guest room," Leon said but he was ignored by the couple.
"How is Kal?"
"He's perfectly fine and being pampered by his mom." She held his hands. "I think it is better if Violet stayed with Kal. He looked so happy."
"Okay," he sighed and caressed her hair. "I smell bad, right."
"No. It is fine."
She pulled him.
"I will prepare food for you. What do you like?" She asked. "It is a good thing that there is a convenience store in this subdivision. I bought enough ingredients for some snacks."
Terrence kept his eyes on her. She helped him remove his gloves and then his coat.
"Relax, love. I am perfectly fine." She winked at him. "Wash your hands." She said, "Would you like coffee or tea? Or perhaps, milk?"
"Water is fine."
She did her job like every housewife would do.
"How's work?" She asked.
"I would take the job of protecting you and Kal. I don't want to be away anymore."
"Hmm," She nodded her head. "You aren't hurt or injured anywhere?" She asked.
"No, love. I am physically fine. I was not in my right mind for a while because of what I saw in the footage. But I am glad that you are perfectly fine. I don't know what to do if something bad happened to you."
She started slicing the tomatoes and washing off the seeds. Then, she took out the slices of chicken from the air fryer and placed them over the lettuce. She then put his favorite Thousand Island Dressing and gave it to him with water.
"Thank you. Perfect as ever." He reached for her hand and kissed it. He sighed, relaxed his muscles. He took a bite and hummed while chewing. She walked around the counter table and hugged him from behind as she kissed his neck.
"I miss you." She whispered.
"I do too." He nodded his head.
Shortly, Leon called them, mentioning the dogs using the bathroom. So, he let them free in the garden.
They went to their room, and his horny wife quickly helped him remove his clothes. He does the same, nearly ripping the only pajamas that she had left since most of her clothes were in their wrecked house. The couple made love and snuggled at each other. None of them couldn't fall asleep because of what happened.
"I swear," Terrence said as he lifted his hands and intertwined them with her. "I won't leave you again."
"Love, it is fine if it is work. But yes, I prefer you around me. We can have babies on our own without any danger."
"That's what I thought too." He kissed her temple. "We can go abroad." He suggested. "I think Kal is safer there."
"We can do that." She whispered.
"Where do you prefer?"
"Somewhere, harmonious and peaceful. Somewhere safer."
"Alright, we will settle it. I will have it ready in a few months. But for now, let's stay and process a few papers."
"Perfect," She hugged him. "I can't wait for us to be safe and happy, Terrence. We could run a little farm if you want."
"Hmm," He smiled as he caressed his cheek.. "I like that."
