* I wasn't sure how but, +Vincent Gaines​​​ got the information we needed and we were on our way to get +Chloe Cross​​​ and finish off that scumbag +Ricky Cross​​​. I was driving while +Beck Hadrian​​​, +Slade Michaels​​​ and Vincent discussed the plan. I listened but, paid attention to the road. I was breaking every law, speeding and shit but, we had a job to do. We were all armed just in case it came down to gun play. I hoped this would go smoothly, I promised Jules I'd be careful, and I kept my promises to her. We were all on edge, this had to go our way since we weren't on pack lands now. We drove for hours until Vincent told me where to get off the highway. We drove through a town that was mostly empty buildings, dirty streets. It seemed like the perfect place for Ricky Cross. I found the Comfy Cactus Inn and snorted. It was a fucking dump. Beck directed me to the very end of the lot. We made loop and drove around the building. The truck was no where to be seen. Vincent growled low and punched the back of my seat. I didn't say a word, tension inside the SUV was already thick enough.*

  1. * The room reeked of cigarette smoke and cheap whiskey. It hadn't been cleaned yet, which was helpful to us. The four of us walked around the little room. I noticed scratches on the head board. * Ricky must have had Chloe chained up here. * I heard a growl from the bathroom and Vincent walked out. * "I can smell blood, not a lot of it, but I'm definitely picking up on it." * We all nodded that we were smelling it too. Vincent had a permanent scowl on his face. I squeezed his shoulder. * You're female is feisty, I'm sure she's fine.

  2. As soon as the door opened I could smell my mates scent and I wanted to howl out in rage that we had missed getting to her in time. I moved around scanning the room as I did so hoping to find anything that could tell us where that fucker was taking my little wolf. I moved around until I stepped into the bathroom and still nothing but the scents of cigarettes, whiskey and of course blood. Moving back to the bed Chloe was chained, I looked around hoping to find a clue. My little wolf was smart and if she could I knew she would have left a clue for us to find. I pulled back the covers of the bed making sure I checked everything when I heard the sound of paper falling. Moving quickly I dropped to the floor and looked under the bed. Beck's voice rose in the room. "What is it? What did you find?" I reached under the bed and pulled out the paper and looked down at it as I stood. It's a map. Turning I opened it as everyone gathered around me. I glanced down and saw the small town and knew where that fucker was headed. I've got you now motherfucker. "What the fuck are you talking about Vincent?" I turned to face Beck. I know where he's going but we've got to move fast. Without another word I pulled out my phone and hit the number and put it on speaker and waited for him to answer. "What now Vin? I don't have time for this shit." I growled. Cross kidnapped my mate and he's headed you way. I need your help to get her back. It was silent on the other end and for a moment I thought the connection was broken. "That bastard called telling me he had my fucking payment. I'm going to fucking kill him. Get your ass here before him or all you'll find is the fucking scorch marks from where he was set a flame." I'm on my way. I disconnected and looked at Beck's question filled eyes. "Who the fuck was that?"

  3. Morelo. * Vincent's eyes met mine as we stood in silence. * I think Ricky intends to offer Chloe up to Morelo in exchange for his money. * Cole shook his head. * Why would you think that? * Vincent pinned him with a stare. * Morelo isn't the good guy here. He's a motherfucker but he's one you want on your good side. He's dabbled in the human trafficking but two of his associates were taken out down in Atlanta and he kind of backed away from it. He's more into the drug business than anything. * My mind put the pieces together. * So, its safe to assume that Ricky plans to offer Chloe up as a trade for his payment. * Vincent nodded. * We have to hurry. * Slade broke the tension. * Text Morelo and find out where this meeting is taking place. In the meantime, let's head west. This map shows him heading west. Let's head that way until we hear from Morelo. * Vincent agreed and he held his hand out. * Gimme the keys. * Cole hesitated. * Vinnie, you know I got your back, but dude...it's my truck... * Slade and I exchanged looks. * Keys. * Cole rolled his eyes and pulled the keys out of his pocket, slamming them in Vincent's hand. * You wreck it and you buy it. * Vincent was out the door and the rest of us followed suit. We had just made it to the truck when Vincent's phone dinged. He looked at it and nodded. * Got you, fucker. * He tossed the phone to me and as he started up the truck, I punched the coordinates into the GPS Cole's truck had. Vincent stomped the gas and the truck fishtailed onto the asphalt, gravel slinging behind us. The truck was pushing one-twenty before we ever reached the highway. I looked at Vincent. * Try not to kill us before we get there, Speedy Gonzales. * He glared at me, but nodded. The last thing I wanted to do was try to heal after being chewed up by the interstate. * Cole, check the guns. Slade, punch in these coordinates and tell me the nearest dwelling and police department. I want to avoid as much human contact as possible. This is pack business and I don't want nor do we need the authorities involved. * He nodded and pulled out the laptop he had. * This shit ends today.

* Once +Loretta Blackstone told me what she needed I got up and left. Julian handed me his car keys and +Takahiro Yanahi DPI followed me out of the conference room. I was on the verge of losing it, my baby sister was missing. Taken by a witch and I had no idea why they would even want her. The thought's going through my mind of what might be happening to her were dark. I feared for her. I hurried down the hall and burst through the front door of the police station. I needed fresh air and solitude, I knew I couldn't hold myself together much longer. * "Kimiko, yamero." {Kimiko, stop.} * I stopped, but refused to turn around, tears slid down my face and I was ashamed that I was so weak at this moment. Taka turned me gently and pulled me against his chest, slipping the car keys from my hand. Wrapping his arms around me, he let me cry. * "Watashitachiha kaiyo o mitsukerudeshou, watashi wa yakusoku shimasu." {We'll find Kaiyo, I promise."} * I wrapped my arms around his waist. His gentle voice, embrace and his scent helped to calm me. I looked into my mate's eyes. * Why would they want her, Taka? Do you think that Senichi could be behind this? * My mate seemed to think for a minute. * "You and I know Senichi best. We could guess his next move in any situation and act on it before he even had to say anything. He knows he's gonna have to do something that we would never consider. I'm not saying he is behind this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is." * I nodded, I knew he was right. Taka kissed me. * "Let's get to the house and get what Miss Blackstone needs." * I slipped into the passenger side of Julian's car and tried to pull myself together as Taka drove us to the house. *

* Raechel Hadrian​​ was finally sleeping as I quietly dressed and left the house. I had to deal with Mia before I dealt with the females of the pack. I was still furious, but everything with Jordan McCormick​​ overshadowed it. I still needed to tell Mikaela Kieschnick​​. Maybe I'd call Damon Kieschnick​​ first. Let him decide the best way to tell her. She'd taken to Jordan right off the bat and I think Jordan had loved Mik too. I kicked the truck engine over and rubbed my hands together. It was cold and the sky was just turning a bright orange in the eastern sky. I didn't relish the tasks ahead. I put the truck in gear and headed into town. We didn't have a large police department. It was a few offices for Slade Michaels and Cole Ross, the other enforcers were directed by them. Slade and I had talked about bringing Vincent Gaines on, but it hadn't gotten any further when we were called to help Bianca. Now that the females had pulled the stunt they did, he may not stick around long enough for me to offer him the position. We had eight holding cells, each one made with reinforced silver. They stayed empty most of the time with the exception of a drunk or two needing to sleep off their drink. I parked in the space designated for me and made my way inside. * Alpha. * Bernice ran the front desk and she greeted me with a smile. * Good morning, Bernice. * She stood up. * You look tired, sir. * She handed me the file on Mia. This was a small town, she knew why I was here. I flipped through the contents. * Its been a long two weeks. * I told her as I made sure everything was in order. * Who's running the morning shift? * I asked, closing the file. * Stretch and Monty. * They were relatively new trainees, but Slade and Cole had trained them well. * Thank you. * I nodded as I slipped past her. Stretch was working the radio system we had in place and I nodded to him as I made my way towards the basement and the holding cells. Monty guarded the door leading down. * Good morning, Alpha. * He opened the door for me. * Thank you, Monty. * He nodded in return. * Good luck with that one, Sir. * I headed down the stairs, the air growing colder. I stepped down the corridor and she was in the first cell to the left. I typed in the code and a small section of the silver bars opened, allowing me to step inside her cell. She sat up when they slammed closed. She smelled like day old booze and her make up was smeared. She stood up and made her way over to me. * Alpha Beck. * Her voice was anything but respectful. * I'd hoped you would come and see me so we could sort this misunderstanding out. * She stepped close enough to run her fingers up the arms of my jacket. She shivered. * Such big muscles. * Her eyes met mine. * Maybe we can work out a deal, hm? * Her fingertips grazed my neck and jaw and for the first time in my life, I wanted to throttle a female. I shoved the file folder between us. * For starters, seducing me will do nothing but get you killed. My mate would have your head. Secondly, we'd both suffer the mating rash. And last, I would rather be dragged behind a truck, over broken glass then continue to be this close to you. * Rage darkened her eyes. * You're a son of a bitch! * Her hand flew up to slap me and I caught her wrist. * I can be. Why don't we find out just how big of a one? * She jerked away from me. * I don't understand why you're so mad at me. Why I'm to blame. I didn't do anything wrong! * She sat on the bed in a huff. * So, you didn't steal drugs from Dr. Tukami? * She was silent. * And you didn't meet Jules and my mate to give them the drugs you didn't steal? * Her eyes snapped fire as they met mine. * Or, you did do all those things, but dont want to admit it. I find it difficult to believe that you did this for the females out of the kindness of your own heart. * I opened the file that I had. * You attempted to seduce the doctor, your boss and was fired for it. I see you lived here during O'Donnells reign of terror. Your mother left with some rogue shifter. You stayed behind with your father. * She moved from the bed. * I know my life's story. I dont need you narrating it. * She tried to snatch the folder from me. I didn't allow it. * And I dont need someone of your calibre in my pack. * That got her attention. * What do you mean? * I shrugged. * Exactly what I just said. I'm banishing you, Mia. * Tears filled her eyes. * Beck...I mean, Alpha, sir....please. * I steeled myself against her pleas. * I don't trust you. In fact, you attempted to seduce me, which means you will stop at nothing to get what you want. I have yet to determine what exactly that is. But its detrimental to my pack. And I will not allow it. * She was sobbing now. * I just wanted Julian. I just wanted him to love me! * I shook my head. * He doesn't feel the same, Mia. The last female like you caused a lot of hurt as well and she almost killed members of my pack. I cannot stand by and let this happen. I will not. You broke trust. And you crossed the line thinking you could seduce me. * She hit her knees. * Alpha, please! Give me another chance! I will stay away from Julian! I'll do anything, ANYTHING to make this right. Just please, don't banish me!! * I shook my head as I gave the signal to be let out. * You'll be escorted out tomorrow morning. You will have exactly two hours to pack and clear out your things. * She was still sobbing. * Where will I go? * I stepped out of the cell. * I don't know, Mia, nor do I care. But you won't be here. And I shouldn't have to tell you that if you attempt to come back to McGregor land, you'll be killed on the spot. * I slammed the bars closed. * I hope that you take this chance and become a better person. Perhaps find a pack that will accept you. * She hit the bars, screaming. * I don't need you or your fucking pack! I didn't act alone! And everyone knows that the only reason you won't banish the others is because of who they mated and your mate is one! * I growled. * You know nothing of what I will do. Don't push me, Mia. It's too easy for me to have you executed. And it'd be supported. * I left her screaming behind me as I made my way back upstairs. I was due to meet with Jules, Meghan and Chloe in an hour. I wanted to be done with this whole thing so I could move on. I had bigger issues to deal with and this was just pissing me off. I left Mias file for Cole to finish up and then headed to my office for round two. *

* I finished checking in at the front desk then sat down next to Caiden Bauer​. I was nervous. I worried about what they would find today. I worried that Gabriel Jericho​ was going after Quinn Cooper​. I just wanted to be tucked inside of Ama Maes bed and breakfast with Caiden. My leg bounced as anxiety pumped through my veins.
