Striking a deal

The museum actually had two floors, although the general public, as well as the trained swat members, stayed on the bottom floor. However, Ryan had his office placed upstairs, and this was also where the supplies for the group were kept as well.

It was a strange room with a lock to which only he and Brandon knew the combination to. Of course, a simple lock wouldn't stop someone with a gun from shooting at the door and opening it, but something like this would alert the others, and this fact alone was a good deterrent.

While heading upstairs, Brandon continued to talk about what they had done to the place, including the troubles they had faced and was also giving background to the groups in the area.

He also told them that there were some groups who ideally weren't the best to work with. At the same time, there were natural territories that they respected. However, how long this would keep up, they didn't know.
