Thor beams at him. “Bro-dude—we're going to get along great. You're the hacker, Purge, right?”
“Sure am. I can’t wait to check all this out.” Purge is practically salivating seeing all the latest tech.
Thor salutes us as he turns back to his computer, and we file out of the room.
“I’m going to show you the kitchen, then your rooms so you can put your stuff down. I think Jax wants to make introductions after that,” Hunter tells us, side-hugging me. I smile up at him, a goofy, love-struck grin on my face.
We follow him to a huge kitchen.
“Damn!” Trikk starts freaking out again, as our resident cook.
There's a couple of guys at the table, and they nod in greeting.
We’re then taken down a series of hallways until we reach a bunch of closed doors.
“These are some of the resident rooms. We'll all be in this wing,” Hunter explains.
He unlocks the one on the end. It's huge. It has two king-sized beds, a full living room suite complete with TV, and massive bathroom.
“This one is for me and Cynthia. Since its two of us.” Hunter looks down his nose, mainly at the guys.
Cynthia jumps up and down in excitement. “For us? Oh my gawd. I feel so lucky. See this, wifey? I get a giant bed.”
“You deserve it.” I smile sincerely, meaning it.
Hunter then goes to the room at the far end. He opens the door, and it’s almost as big as the first one. There's one king-sized bed instead of two—otherwise it’s the same as the first.
“This is for you, Pretty Girl, and 3 to share,” Hunter says, eyes sweeping my face.
“Um, one bed?” Razor shouts, his face turning red.
“Yeah... I don’t motherfucking think so,” Synn rages.
“This is bullshit,” Ghost pouts.
“Okay, settle down. You need to understand the boy needs the closeness with her. Be reasonable.” Hunter shakes his head, his face looking weary already.
Synn flips him the bird.
Hunter sighs, showing us the other rooms. The one on the left of mine is Synn’s. The one on my right is Ghost’s. Then, Valley and Bryan’s room is across the hall from me. Trikk, Razor, and Purge are across the hall. Frost is a couple doors down from mine.
We all drop off our bags, and head out with Hunter to meet the other team members. Hopefully, they’re all as cool as Jax, Thor, and Bill.
Chapter 6
Purge
We all managedto get our stuff in our rooms.
Harris got a message from Jax that he has something to take care of, then he’ll introduce us to the ZYGOS team.
I walk circles around my room, but I’m too anxious to stay cooped up. I decide to head to the roof to think.
Taking the stairs, I go out the door. I curl up in a seat close to the ledge. The view is incredible. I can see cherry trees all around, and a cloudless sky with an uninterrupted view. No buildings or smog to get in the way. I can spot a large garden in the back of the property. There are also flowers tastefully spread around the roof.
Leaning my head back on the loveseat, I let my mind torture me with questions. My father... fuck. I would never admit it, but I’m scared. He really does want to kill me. When he’s done he is done. There's no changing his mind.
The fact that he’s responsible for The Retreat is mind-boggling. The sick bastard is doing it all. But why? What does he have to gain? More money and power? I don’t think the other families know either, meaning it’s something horrific. What'sthe purpose of The Morgue? Where the hell are the patients that weren’t sold going?
