* My old truck rattled down the dirt road leading to the warehouse. The fights were on and, much earler tonight. Rick had asked me to go with him again but, this time I insisted on driving. He laughed, but agreed. He joked about the condition of the truck and I laughed it off. Sure it was old but, it ran, it was fast and it was mine. If I was going to get +Jordan McCormick​ out of this place, then I had to have my own vehicle, otherwise I'd have to steal a car and cops would be involved. That was a big no. Most humans didn't know about us shifters and, they wouldn't believe me if I told them what was going on. I parked so I'd have easy access to the road, saying that my truck was so big that I'd need the room. Rick agreed and we got out. I pocketed my keys. I didn't carry a purse, it and the backpack I had with some clothes and shoes in it were behind the seat of the truck. Now, I just had to get in and get to Jordan. Rick went straight for his bookie, telling me as he stepped away to find us some seats. I nodded but watched him and the guy disappear behind closed doors. I walked around, bought a beer from one of the little stalls and meandered around, just watching the comings and goings of the so called staff. I finally headed inside where the ring was located and found a place to sit. Rick joined me a few minutes later. He seemed excited, jumpy. He leaned close and told me he had a huge bet on one of the fighters. I faked enthusiasm, wishing him luck and letting him kiss me. I tried hard not to cringe and he bought my act. Now I just had to find the right time to excuse myself and hopefully find Jordan.*

    * When Jordan took the crowbar from me, I just let her have it. I wasn't going to fight her here. I led her out the side door I found and stopped her before we ran for my truck. I looked for guards, anyone with a gun but only saw shifters milling about. Some heading home already, probably after losing their money. The area was pretty clear since the action was inside. We darted across the field that served as a parking lot. Jordan stayed close to me. When we reached my truck I had us both inside in a flash.* There are clothes behind the seat, and shoes. * Jordan just scowled at me.* Suit yourself. * I started the truck and backed out. As I was looking behind me I noticed some of the men piling out of the front door, looking around. I told Jordan to duck and I causally drove out of there. It wasn't untill we were out of Darby that Jordan sat up and went for the clothes behind the seat. I said nothing. I just drove. We had several hours of road ahead of us and I dreaded going back to McGregor but, I couldn't leave Jordan there. Maybe, I'll be able to drop her off and then get out of there. I wasn't sure what to expect once we got there. *

    I made sure to follow the woman closely as I held the crow bar as tight as I could. There was no way anyone was going to pry this weapon from grasp. So help the shifter that tried to stop my escape. They would regret their choice once they felt my wraith. I listened to the red haired woman and hid once I climbed into the vehicle. When we were a safe distance away and I didn't have to hide any more , my cramped body felt so damn happy when I crawled out of the tiny spot. I took a few minutes to stretch out the kinks in my arms and legs before putting on the clothes that the female told me I could have. At least they were warm even if they hung loosely on my body. Sighing as I leaned my elbow on the arm rest and stared out the passenger window. Now that I was free, there were new problems that needed to be solved. I wasn't exactly prepared for the next leg of my journey, but when the choice to get out of the place or stay and be treated like a slave was waved in front of my face, I chose to run with the stranger. My stomach growled but I didn't feel hungry. I was given a bowl of food every morning. Now why it was protesting I had no idea. I was used to one meal a day. Maybe it was all the new smells my nose was picking up that the wind carried along on our journey. The silence between us could be cut with a knife but I needed time to think just like I figured the other female was doing. After another hour of traveling silently I realized my eye lids were starting to droop. I tried to fight the urge to sleep but the rocking of the truck along the road eventually lulled me into a fitful slumber

    * I let Jordan sleep. I knew she had to be exhausted. I stopped at a fast food place and got us some burgers. She'd be hungry when she woke up. I drive as long as I could before pulling in to a rest stop to sleep. With the doors locked and my gun under the seat, we'd be safe. I slept fitfully, worried something would go wrong. I'd gotten a few calls and texts on my phone from Rick but, I turned it off. He was probably just mad I left him at the fights. When I woke up, Jordan was awake and eating her cold burger. I excused my self to use the restroom and wash my face, I took my keys with me. When I came back Jordan was ready to go. It wouldn't be long till we got to McGregor. *

* 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. "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....
