When Ryder and i pulled in there were a few girls already standing outside. A few of them weren't wearing a ton of clothing. I mean let's not fall out shall we. We walked up. "Hello ladies, so glad you could make it." A tall leggy blonde giggled. "Of course, thanks for doing this. You make me feel so much safer." She said. He unlocked the door and we all went inside.

       Alright ladies let's head over to the matts. "First thing i want us to do is get in a line. This here is our dummy. He's going to be the bad guy. I'm going to show you where you can hit him. If you do it correctly his eyes will light up red." He hit the guy in several spots. Then he had us line up to do it. It took a while as there were about fifteen girls in the class. 

       Once we were done he handed each of us a thing of pepper spray. It had a whistle attached to it. "These will be your best friend. Attach it to your purse. If a guy comes up to you and tries to attack you, you can spray him with the pepper spray it will impair him. Should you be in a public place blow the whistle and hopefully help should arrive. Now we've learned where you can kick or hit him. Now were gonna work on some take downs. I need a volunteer." He said. Every single hand went up.

       "You there, the sexy girl in the green." He said pointing at me and winking. Gasps and whispers went around the room. "She's not even that cute." A busty brunette said. I walked up. He instructed me how to stand and he did various hold's and escapes. I had to take him down. But now that i'd been working out in the gym and practicing with him i could do it without hurting myself. My first time taking Jake down hurt. But now i didn't even wince. His Class went for about an hour. Already there were women showing up for the next class.

       I grabbed my phone and checked my messages. Two more sales. I had to get the rest of the materials ordered and put into the storage unit. Carl was going to start the work this week. I felt movement beside me. If it was one of the crazy girls i could take them down. "Thanks for coming." Ryder said. "Oh it's you, well i was happy to do it. I'm really proud of you!!" I said. "Well thank you. It means a lot to me. "Where are you headed?" He asked. "To my mom's neighborhood. I have to more houses to buy. I'm going to paint all the houses i buy white. Like first off. That way Carl's crew will know which houses are mine."I said. "You are so smart." He said kissing my nose.

       I giggled. "Thank you, i wasn't sure i wanted to hire a crew but i guess i can't do all of the work myself eh?" I asked. "That's true, they will paint it and replace the floors and counters and paint the cabinets. It'll be good." He said. "Yea, i'll do some flowers out front and some light staging on my model house." "A model house?" He asked. "Yea, you know most of the floor plans are the same. So i'll just have one house and then they can pick which one they want." I said. "Oh that sounds good. Well i should get back in there. I gotta pull out the dummies real quick." "What dummies?" I asked. "Oh the heavy ones that they can practice the escapes on." "Aha, you're naughty." I said wagging my finger at him. "You like it, have a good day. See you soon." He said.

       I headed to the neighborhood and purchases the two houses. One i had to take over the house note because she still owed about twenty thousand after i took a trip to the bank and settled the note i went to the hardware store. I got a really good deal on bulk orders. I let Carl know where the materials were and dropped him off a key. I headed back home just in time to make dinner.

       We all gathered around the table eating the pizza i had cooked. "Okay so school is starting soon for Liam, Sydney and i." Caleb started. "We have two big bust's coming up. One at a convenience store selling alcohol to minors and a strip club hiring underage girls and possible soliciting prostitution. And the cherry on top is taking down Conner's dad. We need to blow up all twenty compounds. I think Liam and Sydney are working on something to be done at the press of a button. Sydney why don't you take the floor?" He asked.

        "Right so we have to do this carefully. We need to monitor the buildings so we can ensure nobody get's caught inside when all the bombs go off. As soon as I see it's clear i'll hit the button and boom. Done and done." I said. "Can we get something that will blow up everything? At once?" Ethan asked. "Liam?" I directed. "Yes so Jake got me a really good bomb. I've been testing it out. I want to make sure it'll get the whole thing. So once i figure that out then the task of how do we get the camera's inside the buildings to monitor. It won't be easy." He said.

       "I have a thought. I have something i can put on the camera feed where i will be able to feed directly into their cameras. But we'll have to split up the locations and fly out to where we need to go. While we are there we can get the bomb's on top of the buildings." I said. "Well that all sounds great." Caleb agreed. "I'm gonna go over the missions and i'll let y'all know who's gonna do what." Caleb said. "I wanna go on the strip club mission, i have this dress that makes my legs look killer." Ethan said. Jake shoved his arm.  "you're so stupid man." Jake said. We wrapped up the meal and the meeting. The new school year was going to start. We had already done some amazing things this year and i couldn't wait to see what the new year brought.
