Phoebe didn't know how long they were in the air for. It felt like eternity before she heard the vibrations of the wheels touching the ground. She was filled with exhaustion, and fear as she didn't know what was in store for both her and Angela. The sun was long gone, darkness filled the sky with the moon illuminating the horizon. They were on the road for a few hours before the car finally came to a stop. Phoebe was trudged out of the car and was face to face with a large cobble stone mansion that sat on a hill.

She met the eyes of many guards holding guns, and holding the leash of k-9 working dogs. One reminding her sadly of Beau. Sandra smiles at the two woman. Her hand touching Phoebe's arm, while Abril held onto Angelas. "Welcome to your new home. It's beautiful, no? I had it built with the look of the old world with the comforts of the new." She says with a huge smile. Abril smirks and looks at the two "And the security. This place is defensible against everything short of an air strike. Para hacer fácil , I'll save you the trouble. We have six guard teams, two with dogs. But we rotate them daily so they don't fall into a routine. But you'll never get to test that, because for the next three months, I will not be leaving your side." She says looking at Angela.

Angela scoffs  "Lucky me" she says sarcastically. Sandra motions them inside as she gestures for Abril "Abril will show you to your room" she tells Angela. Phoebe shakes her head as she becomes scared. What if that was the last time she will ever see Angela. She looks at Sandra "No. no, can we stay together?" She pleads becoming teary eyed.

Sandra shakes her head no her finger gently swiping the tear away from her cheek "Mejia, I will show you to your room" she tells her. Angela gives her a reassuring nod before the two of them are separated from one another.

Phoebe was brought into a large sized bedroom that overlooked the desert. A older woman was standing in the room with a smile on her face.

"Bienvenida. You didn't tell me que están bonita" she greets. Sandra nods her head with a smile and looks at Phoebe "This is Dr. Morales. She brought my angel Diego into this world. And she'll be living here with you, solely focused on you and the baby." She tells her.

Phoebe doesn't say anything but places her hand on her belly in a protective instinct. "Let's get you settled so I can check your vitals make sure the baby's fine after all your recent stress." She explains to her.

Phoebe hesitates but nods her head. Scared to not follow any of Sandra's rules. Especially because she was so powerful and had no remorse. With a snap of a finger she could easily kill her. Sandra smiled at her and helps her into the bathroom.
