112 Mike’s Reason 

Luke. 

“Where are you going?” Tia asked me while I was walking out. She walked up to me, and we continued together. Caleb walked past us with Monica and Stacy. Stacy turned right while Caleb walked towards the exit of the building. He was taking her to prison. I thought Stacy would follow, but she didn’t. Stacy wasn’t going to my father’s room either, which was thoughtful of her. I would not want to be in the same room as my dad right now. All though he needed some release to calm down from his rage, I doubted he would ever touch Stacy again. She was Regan’s wife. “Where are you going?” Tia asked me again, and I knew I shouldn’t lie to her. I urged her to walk with me to our wing so I could tell her. 

“Mike chickened out of Tetra, claiming Tasha was sick, so I demoted him to Delta. When I returned from Terra, I discovered he wasn’t here to protect the estate, and now Kirk said he hasn’t resumed duty at the headquarters. I want to go to his house to make sure all is well. If I find out nothing is wrong with him, I will dismiss him and have him punished for deserting his duties.” I said, and she was silent a bit, then spoke up. “What about Elisabeth? Clearly, she is trying to work against us.” She said, and I grinned at her. 

“It is time for that woman to go to jail too. I will send someone to arrest her and lock her up. I can’t and won’t deal with her directly. Monica’s claims would be investigated; if they are true, she will go away for a long time.” I told Tia, and she was in complete agreement. I really did not understand how Elisabeth’s mind functioned. Why did she agree to help Regan kidnap her own son? A boy that is receiving care. I wonder what she planned on achieving with it. That woman was just impossible. 

“I want to come with you to Mike’s house,” Tia requested. I knew she would flip if I said no, so I reluctantly agreed for her to come with me to keep her happy. I was annoyed with Mike and needed a valid explanation for his silence. 

We wore casual clothes and headed out. I decided to use the Jeep because I wanted to take my wife to the cliff after the issue with Mike had been resolved. Because I did not plan to go to the cliff initially, I intended to branch into a restaurant to pack food and drinks. I kept it a secret and drove.
