* I worked on paper work as I waited for +Vincent Gaines to show up. I could hear Ian in his office, moving stuff around on his desk. Making it his own. I had laid out paperwork for him and Vincent to fill out so we could get things rolling on getting them into the Police officer roles. I knew their mate's weren't happy about it, but we needed them and they were both a force to be reckoned with and would fill the shoes well. I heard footsteps coming up the hall and Vincent appeared in my door. * Vincent. Thanks for coming in. * Vincent came in and sat down in one of the two chairs I had in front of my desk. * "No problem, Slade. I told you I would help you with your mate's disappearance. I have someone I could call, I just need some information." * I nodded and filled him in the best I could on the date she had left, when her phone had been turned off and the location my pickup had been found. He wrote it all down. * "Okay, let me call my contact and we'll see if he can help."

I felt good about where Chloe and I were in our relationship. I’d reclaimed her and she had submitted fully, letting me know she was all in when it came to us. I dropped Chloe off at Meghan’s to meet up with the other females for their first official day of punishment. Tyler was already there talking to Rocky. They both looked over at us as I got out of the car, walked around and helped Chloe out. Morning Tyler, Rocky! Looking down at my mate, I kissed her then watched as she made her way into the house. Moving back to the drivers side of the car I laughed as Tyler said. “It’s about fucking time you forgave her, man. I was getting tired of pretending I couldn’t hear her crying.” Yeah, I know! To be honest, I didn’t like it myself. Check you later, guys. Driving away I watched as Rocky and Tyler walked off to check the perimeter. It didn’t take me long to get to the police station and as soon as I walked in, Burnice said. “It’s about time you got here. You need to get here on time. After all you work for the town now, you can’t just show up when you want.” I bit back a growl and headed across the room. “Slade’s been waiting for you for an hour.” I tried not to roll my eyes as I continued through the building and headed down the hall towards Slade’s office. He looked up as I stepped into the doorway. “Vincent. Thanks for coming in.” I walked in and sat down in one of the two chairs in front of his desk. No problem, Slade. I told you I would help you with your mate's disappearance. I have someone I could call, I just need some information. He nodded and filled me in on the date that she had left, when her phone had been turned off and the location where his pickup had been found, and I wrote it all down. Okay, let me call my contact and we'll see if he can help. I took a deep breath and looked at Slade. He needed to know who I was going to call and what it meant. I think you should know that I’m not sure if he can help us and he may want something in return. I took my phone out of my pocket as I looked at him. “Who is this guy and what do you think he’s going to want?” It’s Nathanial Morelo, Chloe’s father! “Well, fuck! I’m guessing he’s going to want to see Chloe?” I nodded then shrugged. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with him, but if he can help find your mate, she’ll do it. So don’t worry about it.
ReplyDelete* I scrubbed my face with my hand. * Are you sure about this Vincent? I hate to put Chloe in a position she may not be ready to deal with yet. * Vincent punched a couple buttons on his phone. * "Chloe would be upset, if we didn't do this because of her. Besides, I'll be by her side and she can be a feisty little thing when she wants to be. She can handle Morelo." * The phone began to ring and I was surprised that Vincent had put it on speaker. * "It's about damn time you got a hold of me Gaines. I wan't to know how my daughter is." * Vincent rolled his eyes. * "This fucking phone works both ways Morelo. You could have called. It wasn't like you worried about her for the last several years, I don't know why your so concerned now." * Morelo growled and before he could say anything Vincent spoke again. * Look, I need a favor. * The phone was silent for a minute. * "It's gonna cost you. I want to see my daughter." * Vincent grinned and gave me a I told you so look. * "I'll allow you to come see Chloe, but I won't promise that she will receive you with open arms. Or at all." * It was quiet again. * "Deal. What do you want?" * Morelo snapped. * "A friend of mine is sitting here with me. His name is Slade Michaels. His mate disappeared. I know how you have contact's everywhere, keeping yourself in the know of all that is going on. I was hoping maybe you might be able to help us figure out what happened to her."
ReplyDelete“Where was she last seen or the place she was before you lost track of her?” I looked over at Slade and he nodded for me to continue. Well, that’s the thing. No one has seen her that has reported in to the authorities. The only reason we know the general area is because Slade’s truck was found burned with a body in it. But it’s not his mate. Again the line was silent as if Morelo were thinking. We heard a movement in the background then Morelo was back. “Where was the truck found?” Slade sat forward and spoke. “The truck was found near the Bitterroot National Forest in Idaho.” A growl left Morelo’s mouth as he cursed. “Fuck, that’s not good. There’s a small town in Idaho run by a crazy ass bear shifter. He runs an illegal shifter fighting ring. He prays on shifters in pain, and kidnaps them for the fights. I’m not sure where the place is. Some say the fights are in that forest but no one knows for sure. It’s said that he had a witch cast a spell over the entire area so no one who is actually looking for the place can find it. Only his people can get in without getting lost.” Both Slade and I sat back in our chairs deflated as we took in his words. “So, I’ve told you what I know. When can I see Chloe?” You know where we are, come after the holidays. I don’t want you spoiling them for her. It’s her favorite time of the year. Plus I need to let Chloe and my alpha know you are coming. He Chuckles. “Your alpha? I didn’t know you took orders. But, fine, I’ll wait but I will be there. And don’t try and fuck me over Gaines, because there will be hell to pay if you do.” I growled. Don’t fucking threaten me Morelo. I don’t have to fuck you, Chloe’s going to be the one to have your ass heading out of town within an hour of you stepping out of that fancy car of yours. With those words I hung up and looked at Slade. I hate that fucker, but he does come in handy at times.
ReplyDelete* I was shocked by the way he spoke to Morelo. Morelo was right about one thing. It was surprising that Gaines didn't have a pack of his own. He was definitely alpha material. * Fuck, what do I do with the information he gave us? You wouldn't happen to know any witches? * I cocked a brow at Vincent. * "Sorry man. Bad ass vampires is where I draw the line." * I nodded. * I appreciate what you did though. Beck has some connections to the Realm. He may be able to help me. * Vincent stood. * "I'm sorry I couldn't do more. Good luck with the search and I'm here if you need anything you think I can help with. So? Paperwork?" * I sat back in my chair and looked up at him. * I appreciate that. I put the papers on your desk. You and Ian need to go pick out a uniform. There is a store in Minot you can go to. They should have everything you need. I set up an account with them so you could just charge it. I also have Chloe and Meg set up to come in and do some cleaning and painting in the jail cells. * Vincent nodded and walked out of my office. I punched in the digits for Beck's cell phone. I wanted to fill him in on what we found out today. *
