She watched as Cecil expertly swerved to the right, entering the compound. Laurel was eager to get down. It's been 3 days but she truly missed her apartment. The dull paintings and tidiness of Boss Lucas's apartment was driving her crazy. She wanted nothing more than to take one last look at her colorful and messy room.

It was an odd request but Laurel knew it would make her satisfied. Immediately Cecil packed neatly, she tried to open the car door. It was locked. She narrowed her eyes at the rearview mirror, finding two pairs of eyes watching her critically.

'Is this really necessary?" Laurel had to ask. Did they think she would run away in her bunny love pajamas? Clearly they didn't know her as she thought they did. Laurel shook her head as she waited for the lectures.
