Miss Right Part 13
As they entered the basement, Anna headed towards a paneled wall.
“Mom! Why are we down here? We need to get going! These guys are just killing people for no reason. We need help!”
“Honey, you need to calm down! I have a bit more experience when it comes to this!”
At that, Anna took a hammer from a work bench and started knocking holes in the paneling. When she finished, two safes were there. Kari hadn't remembered that..
Once opened, a large cache of weapons were revealed.
“Mom…what is all this??”
“After what happened with your father, your uncle decided that we should prepare in case we were found out. He used the last of his connections to prepare the house for a damn war. We will need to supply heavily just in case. There's also a safe house underground. It's accessed through a crawl space in the other side of the room. We can spend the rest of the night in there. It's safe. Assuming you were followed, we need to get some rest.”
“I doubt we were followed, mom. Stu was very careful.”
“Careful or not, I'd be willing to bet that we have company real soon.”
As if on cue, gunfire was heard erupting into the upstairs. Glass was shattering as bullets were tearing through the place.
“Ok, mom…you were right!”
“Grab all the weapons and gear you can and let's get into the safe room!”
They all three grabbed what they could carry as if the world wasn't crumbling above them. They made their way into a room that resembled the sleeping space for the crew of a submarine. Anna sealed the entrance and they listened to the continued barrage.
“This is what it means to be involved with the mob. The only safe places are the ones you create for yourself. Your father gave that to us. He knew what it would take. I do wish your uncle was here. He's much better equipped for a siege.”
At that, Anna laid down in a cot. It would appear she was more interested in rest than discussing a plan.
“ I'm sorry, Stu. I didn't know that things would go this way.”
It's ok. Del knew. That's why he sent me with you. He knew you'd take off. He figured we'd be tracked somehow. I know he hoped your mom had a plan, but I didn't follow your blindly. I actually agree with your mom. I...
