The car journey was just over forty minutes, with Ashanti dropping them all off at a bus stop that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere because it was in a pretty rural area.

There were literally no buses anywhere, and the place she had dropped them looked like it could have fit in at least 5 farms. All around them was grass, and it had looked like the scenery for tumbleweed to roll as well.

All of them had acknowledged the journey, with Sotiria being the only wise one to ask how they had actually gotten to Silvercloud Holding Centre.

"You take the 77 bus, love. The bus stop there should be Forrester's Countryside. The 77 bus will take you right in front of the prison. It's in approximately 5 minutes. You can't miss it because the name of the bus stop you get off is the same as the name of the prison. So you get off at Silvercloud Holding Centre. Then it's a 5 or so minute walk to the main entrance. Good luck."

She was even surprised that there was a bus stop in a place like this, where it had looked like it hadn't rained in centuries. Maybe even decades; this was definitely the sunnier part of Santorini for sure. No doubt about it.

As You're So High Maintenance, since they were all high maintenance in one way or the other, went to visit Jackson, who was hopefully still there, Ashanti had driven away. She had also tried to find somewhere to park where the teenagers wouldn't have seen her car.

Even though Ashanti had connected Bluetooth to her car, so that she could have spoken to someone on the phone through her car's speakers, she didn't do that this time.

What she was about to tell Darius, Kesiena or Lilibet couldn't have been said out loud or overheard by anyone.

I hate betraying them like this, she sighed, as she had called Darius. But I have to do what I have to do. This isn't safe. Best believe, y'all have been deceived.

In the sense that even though Ashanti said that she wouldn't have snitched on them, that so-called promise was very short lived.

Goodness gracious, if only they had taken no for an answer. They seemed way too desperate to go to Silvercloud Holding Centre for Ashanti's liking.

Darius didn't pick up, so Ashanti called Kesiena instead.

At the last minute she picked up, surprised to hear from her as it had been a while.

Kesiena: Ashanti, how are you doing?! Long time, girl! How is my favourite sister in law? And how are Samira, Anaiyah, Davonte and Sierra?

Those were the names of her children, oldest to youngest. There wasn't much of an age gap between them. Samira was 22, Anaiyah and Davonte were twins, who were both 21 and Sierra was 18.

Darius had six siblings, three sisters and three brothers, though one died last year after an accidental car crash. Kesiena and Darius were both closest to Ashanti.

Ashanti: I'm good, baby girl. But I need to tell you something urgent. I don't think it can wait anymore. It might come as shocking news but it is true, and it is even happening right now.

Kesiena: Don't tell me you can't go to Rosalia's wedding. You didn't go to mine and Darius'.

Yes, because she was sick. Kesiena was acting like Ashanti had asked to be sick, because she wasn't.

It sucked really, but the past was the past. Darius and Kesiena showed Ashanti pictures of their wedding as soon as Ashanti felt better, though it inevitably wasn't the same thing as Ashanti actually being there, in person.

Ashanti: I am, and I'm astonished that you haven't wondered where Sotiria and Zipporah are. Or more so, where they are going.

She did wonder, but their phones were confiscated so she couldn't have communicated with them either way.

Kesiena: It did cross my mind. And believe me, I was very annoyed. I tried calling them, until Darius reminded me that they didn't take their phones with them because we confiscated them. They don't know where we hid it. For them to even have the audacity to run away when we specifically asked them to.... How dare they. They are in serious trouble when they get back home.

It wasn't unlike Kesiena to ramble on about things when she was unhappy, and Ashanti didn't blame her.

Either way, she didn't know how it came out but it did. They were going to the Silvercloud Holding Centre with Savannah and three of her friends.

Ashanti waited a while for Kesiena to process that, screaming at the top of her lungs when she did.

Kesiena: They went to Silvercloud Holding Centre?! Isn't that a prison?! And you let them go? No offence but what is wrong with you?!

Ashanti: Believe me, I tried telling Savannah all the problems and warnings with going. They said that they wanted to rescue Jackson. They found out last night that he was still alive. It genuinely didn't seem like they were leaving my house unless I was on board with their plan. I said no many times, trust me. They were too desperate. Now they just want to tell Jackson the truth, instead of rescuing him.

She didn't mention how Jackson may have still wanted revenge on Darius for putting him in a coma.

"Plus wouldn't you want to meet your sibling if you realised you had one that you've never met?"

"Not if it was linked to a dark past, or if they're in a bad place. Besides, did they not consider how Jackson might use the truth against them? Against Darius? Against Lilibet?"

Ashanti told Savannah that in private. Either way, none of them knew that Sotiria and Zipporah had been reported.

She didn't want them to know either, because she had more or less deceived them.

Kesiena could have told Darius. Ashanti tried to but he didn't pick up. She was going to tell Lilibet after this.

They shouldn't have said a word to anyone, especially Sotiria and Zipporah until after they had come back.

"I'm sorry, Kesiena."

"It's not your fault; my daughters can be very demanding and stubborn sometimes, when they want to be anyway. They can never really take no for an answer. We're going to tell them off and correct them for that."

That was the end of the conversation, with Ashanti calling Lilibet after, telling her the same thing. She didn't want her to tell Savannah off until she had come back from prison.

Ashanti told Savannah to let them know when they had finished.

But Savannah didn't know that Ashanti had deceived her. And that she wanted to know when she was coming back, because she cared about her, yes, but also because Lilibet had to deal with her.

Speaking of Savannah, as Ashanti had gone to meet Kesiena to help her for tomorrow's wedding, the six of them arrived right in front of the centre, but they hadn't actually gone inside yet because they were still talking about their plan.

Their plan wasn't the only thing that they were talking about. Josiah was kind of concerned that Ashanti had told their parents what they were up to.

His parents may not have been involved, though that didn't mean he was any less concerned about Savannah, Sotiria and Zipporah.

"I appreciate your concern, Josiah, but I can promise you that Ashanti isn't two faced. She doesn't break promises like that." Savannah assured him. "When she says something, and promises it, she hardly breaks it."

"Hardly?" Khalifa grimaced, staring at Savannah intently. "I mean, I get that people can't always keep promises, and I admit that I'm guilty of that. Even then, aren't you the slightest bit suspicious about Ashanti just agreeing to drive us with no strings attached? Especially after those warnings and problems that she told you about our plan to talk to Jackson?"

"As much as I agree with you, what's done is done and there's nothing we can do," Reminisce answered, just as Sotiria was about to speak. But she didn't interrupt her intentionally, she didn't actually know she wanted to speak. "Apparently there's a Portuguese restaurant 15 minutes away from here by walking. I've always wanted to try Portuguese food. I've always wanted to go."

They had a breakfast menu and an afternoon one. It was 37 past eleven. They could have waited until 12 for the afternoon menu, by the time they had gotten there, the time would have been in the fifties.

Khalifa wanted to know why his sister had only realised now that there was a Portuguese restaurant and not when they were walking here or something.

"One, no service, two I just got service now and three, we didn't even pass it on the way here. I just typed the closest restaurants on Google Maps and it was the closest. Apparently it's cheap as well."

Either way, Reminisce, Josiah and Khalifa were going to go to the restaurant, aka Divinia Churrascaria. The place just meant that it specialised in barbecue (churrascaria) and it was divine (divinia). A divine barbecue place basically.

It only seemed right that Sotiria, Zipporah and Savannah were going to go and meet Jackson since they knew more about everything, plus Jackson was their brother. Even if they had to talk about how they should have split up, it was self explanatory.

Like good friends did, Khalifa, Reminisce and Josiah wished them good luck, hugging them and vice versa before they had departed.

If anything had gone wrong, and there was a chance it could have, Savannah would have let them know and in the worst case scenario, they may have had to switch up the groups.

Kind of ironic that there's a restaurant close to a prison, don't you think? The girls heard Josiah ask Reminisce and Khalifa. Reminisce was in between the two boys with Khalifa's arm around her. Khalifa was on the left and Josiah right.

It's a good reward for if you've just been released from it, or if you're on parole and coming back. Khalifa responded, then everything else the three of them said to each other after that was out of earshot so it was inaudible.

Whilst they went to the restaurant, which Reminisce had suggested walking slowly but not too slowly to, so that they could have been on time for the afternoon menu, the girls talked to each other instead.

"This is it, we're finally meeting our brother," Zipporah muttered. "Let's do this thing."

The girls looked at each other one more time, nodding. They also prayed slightly, though they wouldn't have blamed God if their prayers hadn't been answered. This was pretty perilous.

Then inside they went.
