"We're almost there."
Lily Crowe looked back in her rearview mirror at the battered and bruised mother and daughter duo of Jenna and Erica Nichols, true names unknown. Jenna was keeping her name no matter what. "Where are we?" Erica looked at all of the wilderness around her. In all four years they had been cooped up here in Wildwood they had barely been allowed outside their home, let alone on any scenic vacation. Jenna was in love with all the trees.
"The property belongs to Margo Needy. My brother Eric, Heath, and their friends live out here with her. I'm staying the week. I'm Lily by the way. That's my girlfriend Kim in Greg's lap."
"Hi!" Kim smiled wiggling over Greg's erection having chosen to sit in his lap to have enough room in the car for everyone. Mostly, because her thoughts on the heroic boy were changing from used toy to potential boyfriend. Still undecided but his lap sure was comfy. Rough roads only made it more enjoyable for her, for him too until it hurt. Scrotummm! Ow!
"Just know you're safe with us. We won't let anything happen to you." Lily added, less than a half mile from Margo's, the drive from the main road was distant but worth it in the end.
"How are we going to get them past Margo?" Lily's boyfriend Ben brought up from the passenger front seat. "Heath asked us not to let Margo know so she wouldn't be lying should anyone come out here asking about them."
"Heath said to take them to the treehouse. Can you find your way there if I let you all out just before I get to Margo's?"
"Yeah, long as we follow the tree line and you keep Margo busy, so she doesn't see us crossing the back forty. What if Margo is by the pool? We can't reach the path without being busted."
"I'll text you before you round the side of the house." Lily thought fast, "If she is I'll find a way to distract her long enough to give you time to run through the yard. I'll just type the letter K meaning run. Otherwise just hang out in the trees until I can keep her busy." Ben nodded at her ideas.
"Wait! Elliot had a treehouse. Why didn't you tell me that?" Greg asked, his arms wrapped about Kim's waist like a seat belt. She had to adjust her belt multiple times, it either rode too high, or far too low. It was fun discouraging him.
"Never crossed my mind." Ben shrugged, "It's big and badass though. It even has solar panels to warm it. There's a generator for power but the panels don't juice them up. Gas smell might attract anyone looking for these two though. Makes noise too. After dark anyone looking could see lights on. We need a flashlight for later."
"I'll gather some things and bring stuff out later. Flashlights, food, water, blankets! Whatever Kim and I can sneak out. Margo will ask why I brought you and Greg out without warning her, so you guys need to stay with the ladies. It's spooky out there at night anyway so I'm sure these two could use the company to feel safe." That and she didn't want Ben to demand too much attention when she was still confused over what she wanted. That and in all honesty, she wanted alone time with Brian, Jeff, and maybe Heath if he wasn't too preoccupied over Jenna back there.
"First aid kit too." Greg pointed out. "Lots of aspirin, those bruises Erica has, have to hurt."
"I got it covered." Lily slowed down just before the clearing. "Letting you all out here. Kim stays with me. Jenna? Help your mom there if she has trouble walking."
"I will. Thank you, Lily. All of you."
"Yes! I fear this will do no good, but I know we need time away." Erica weakly spoke up, "Wayne and Roxie will look for us. Without Jenna and I, Wayne will make trouble for the prosecutor's case. The FBI will search for us everywhere. If your friend Heath lives out here and they know of him, they will look here too."
"He was seen fighting dad at the pool today. Dad will tell Roxie his name and describe him. Master's... I mean Heath's number is in my cell."
"You're right." Erica pouted, "I used your phone to get in touch with him to help you get away. It is a certain Roxie will find her way out here."
"At least she can't track his phone if it's dead from being sunk in the pool. No rice is going to dry that out." Ben added.
"That agent knows our faces too. I left prints inside the house. We're toast!"
"We just need to let the ladies rest awhile." Lily came to a halt. "No matter what, we should be safe for a few days' way out here. We can relocate if necessary."
Doors opening Ben hopped out and ran around the car to help Erica out, "I got you Mrs. Nichols. Jenna can carry your bags. Greg can... stop feeling Kim up and help out here."
"Oh, right!" He paused in rubbing Kim's thighs. "I might need up." Okay, Kim let her seatbelt slip now and then.
Giggling she opened his door and climbed out, waiting on him to get out and close the door. Shocking Greg she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. "Be careful out there."
"I think I love you." He whimpered. With a blush she left him to get in the front seat beside Lily. Ben walking Erica mostly steadied her as Jenna backed him up. Once meeting up with Greg, the boy joined in helping Momma Nichols along. Ben did find the energy to blow Lily a kiss. She refrained but did wave him on with a smile. He was doing a good deed in everything today. Brownie points, maybe!
Driving off Lily hissed, "What did we get ourselves into?"
"I know, right? I mean I'm glad we could help but this could go so bad. Can we really keep this from your friend Margo?"
"We don't have a choice. Just be cheerful and don't look stressed. With the boys outside all night with the Nichols we can act like nothing is up and party hard."
"Party hard? Are we drinking?"
"Maybe if Brian has beer. You are going to see his dick if I have to beg him to show you."
"Awesome! I can beg too." She giggled.
"You kissed Greg. I thought you were just using him to get at Eric?"
"I am! I just... he's being really heroic. Everyone loves a hero, right?"
"So is Ben. Ugh! Don't confuse me any more than I already am. I don't know what I want."
"You obviously want to see Brian Hancock's dick again."
"Jeffrey's too." Lily laughed pulling up in front of Margo's, her dog Studly barking and hopping about on his extra-long leash tied to a pillar. "Heath's three! What is happening to me?" She squealed with bulging eyes.
"Are we masturbating with the boys like you did last night?"
"No idea! With everything going on Heath might be too preoccupied. If Brian and Jeff are up to it..."
"What about Eric when he gets home and realizes I'm here?"
"He can watch you. I'll just flip him off."
"I hope he takes me to bed." Kim fidgeted with a puffy lower lip. "I love your brother Lily." So much for Greg's admission. Leaning across her seat Lily hugged her bestie, she wanted her as a sister-in-law someday. Highly unlikely!
"I know. We're family no matter what happens." Their heartwarming moment faded as Lily found an unpredicted visitor trying to open her door. "Oh, shit! Studly got loose. I hope Cabot brings his collar back soon, his leash is just not strong enough to keep him restrained long term. Let's go before he runs off." Hug ended the girls got out and joined forces in hauling the sheepdog back to the porch. "We'll take him inside, so he doesn't get loose on us while we're busy. We got lucky this time."
Entering the front door bags in tow they let Studly roam free. Sniffing around the pup took off upstairs before the girls could even consider being in the lead. This being the first time Kim aka Kym when she felt sassy, Lisa at other times just to confuse people by utilizing her middle name, was in awe of the decor. Sports related, there was even a basketball hoop on the wall. No basketball in sight however to shoot hoops. Too many breakables belonging to Margo, it was forbidden now that Darryl was no longer here to practice. "This place is awesome."
"It's huge too. Margo plans on turning this mansion into a Bed & Breakfast so there will be a massive edition for more bedrooms, a bigger kitchen and dining area, hot tubs, you name it. She wants to hire me as a hostess, maid combo." Lily started for the stairs seeing Studly pacing the second-floor sniffing. "I don't hear Margo she must be napping, or out by the pool. If she's outside I hope she doesn't see the guys, they'll need to cross some grass to reach the trail. I'll check." She went into Margo's bedroom and saw an empty bed and bath. Looking out the window onlooking the pool she saw no one. "Huh! Maybe she went on another run. That would suck if she ran into the guys." Regardless she texted Ben that letter K to get them moving.
"Can I snoop in Eric's bedroom?"
"Sure! In a minute. Ha! I should record you playing in his bed and send it to him at work."
