* Wandering through my small cottage, I gathered the items I knew I would want or need to take with me, placing them into my suitcase. I wasn't at peace with this mission, like I was with all the other's that I had done before. It seemed sudden that Senichi came across the information on my mother's killer. But also, this person lived in the United States. Why come all the way here, attack my mother and then go back? It wasn't adding up. My second worry was being alone with +Takahiro Yanahi DPI, I'd hidden my feelings for him for months. How was I going to get through this mission with him by my side? Kneeling down in front of my suit case, I packed my stash of normal clothes. When I went on missions, I didn't wear the traditional kimono. I needed to be able to move and the dress didn't allow that. It wasn't exactly easy for me to hide my weapons on me either. I carefully placed mother's old dolls into my suitcase, placing clothes around them to be sure they didn't break. After another layer of clothes I placed my swords and knives on top and then zipped it shut. Takahiro had texted the information to me so I knew that Senichi had booked us a private plane. It meant that I could take anything and not worry about security. I carried to suitcase to the genkan and set it down beside the other one. Leaving under the cover of night, meant that no one in the village would see me in my untraditional clothes. I stared out into the pond that bordered my cottage and waited for Takahiro to pick me up. *

    I had my suitcase packed, along with my weapons and the money Senichi had given me to spend while Kimiko and I were in the states. At first I had refused the money, I had my own but, Senichi didn't want a paper trail leading back here. His words were true enough but I'm sure there was some hidden meaning. Not one part of this mission had any truth to it, I felt it in my bones. I shook it off. Kimiko and I would figure everything out. I loaded my things into my car andd hot inside. Everyone in our village was sleeping, so I was as quiet as I could be as I drove over to Kimiko's cottage. She was waiting for me outside. I popped the trunk as she moved out of the shadows. I grabbed her bags and set them in the trunk. As she got into my car I closed the trunk and got in behind the wheel. We said nothing as I drove us to the small private airport.

    * Getting into Tamiko's car, I put my seat belt on and said nothing. I was still upset that Senichi thought I couldn't handle this mission on my own, I knew it wasn't fair for me to take it out on Tamiko, but I couldn't stop myself. I watched in the side mirror as he drove away from our small village. I would miss it, but a part of me was excited about going to the states.

    I pretended to nap as Tamiko drove. It was just easier that way. He wouldn't feel the need to fill the silence with words. It wasn't that I didn't like him. It was the exact opposite, I did like him, but I've been hiding my feelings for him for so long. It wasn't safe for me to care for other's. Senichi would use my feeling against me. I felt the car come to a stop and opened my eyes. There was a black sleek business jet sitting not far from us on the tarmac. My eyes widened. * Is this for us? * Tamiko nodded as he looked at it too. * "It is, this will make it easier for us to get close to our destination without all the security issues." * Reaching for the door handle, we both exited the car at the same time. A man approached us, introducing himself and shaking both our hands. * "My name is Bruce and I will be your pilot. We are clear for take off as soon as we get your luggage on the plane." * Thanking him Timiko and I grabbed our luggage out of the trunk and we boarded the plane with the pilots help. I gasped as I took in the interior of the plane. It was luxurious, definitely business like and almost a little intimate as in there wasn't much seating and what there was was so close together. There was one single chair and I claimed it as Tamiko and Bruce took care of the luggage. Bruce pointed out the bathroom, a small refrigerator with refreshments and beverages in it and then showed us how to contact him if we needed him. As Bruce walked off to the front of the plane. Tamiko took one look at me and then looked at the soft leather double chair that would have held us both comfortably, shook his head at me and then settled into it alone. *

    * Kimiko had rushed to sit in the only single seat. I could only shake my head. If she only knew how I felt about her. I settled into the soft leather double chair and fastened my seat belt. We had a few hours of flight time and I brought the papers about the town we were heading towards and the info on the cabin we'd be living in. I wanted to know as much as possible. The plane took off and I unbundled my seat belt so I could sit more comfortably. Kimiko got up and went to the fridge for a soda and a bag of chips. Her snacking was a distraction, that and the way she moved around inspecting everything. I set my papers aside and leveled my gaze on her.* Are youu excited, or just anxious about this mission? I only ask because you are going out of your way to ignore me. * Her lovely face flushed pink and she quickly took a drink of soda and sat down. I chuckled to myself. This was going to be a most interesting mission, that I knew for sure.*

* 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.

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. "Im looking for a more permanent living situation." His hand settled just above my knee, stopping the nervous bouncing. My eyes met his. "Really?" My hand closed over his, my heart pounding. "Yes, really. I want to be with you." "I want to be with you, too." He leaned over and kissed me. "It's going to be okay, Gina. I can feel it." "You're a mind reader." I accused softly, tasting his lips. "Only yours. Let's find a place together. Somewhere Kristen and I can work from too." "Alright, I don't have a job yet, but I have money." "I'm not worried about that....
