* I stopped in and picked up a couple coffee's and cinnamon rolls at the diner before I headed to the hotel to check on +Brennan Walker. I held the coffee's in one hand and put the paper bag between my teeth so I could knock on the door when it flew open. Brennan smiled at me from inside her room, my fist was still in the air ready to knock. She took the bag from my teeth. * "It's about time you got here! Come in, I have something I want to show you." * I was stunned for a couple seconds by her greeting, but followed her into the room and handed her a coffee. * Um, I brought you coffee. * She laughed and took it. * Thanks! I was up early, I couldn't sleep. So I got to work on all the information you wanted from me. * Something about her had changed since I dropped her off yesterday and this morning. Looking at the table in front of us, I noticed a paper with a drawing of a building. * Is this.... * Brennan nodded. * "This is the building the fights are held in." * She watched me as I studied it. She had tagged different area's of the building. I'd forgotten all about the coffee and rolls. * Walk me through it, don't leave anything out please.

    * I sat down at the little table and took a sip of the coffee. * The warehouse is old. It looks like it was built for manufacturing but, it's in the middle of the woods so it makes no sense. Tje road and parking area are all dirt, no gravel. And the woods are thick, you have to watch for the turnoff from the main road or you'll totally miss it.
    * I took another sip of the coffee.* The place is run by bear shifters and a few wolf shifters. I even sensed a feline shifter but I'm not sure what role they play. There's a main door, like a garage door. That's where you enter and pay. Then there are people selling food and beer. Beyond them is the arenas. But if you go around the vendors theres a big metal door, through it is where they keep the fighters, supplies, crates of god knows what. It's cramped and dirty. And the cages the fighters are in are no bigger than some dog crates but, they are all padlocked. I think they drug the fighters to keep them quiet because when I went in, not one of them batted an eye.

    * I paid close attention to detail, asked questions when I had them. She placed another paper on top of the drawing she made. * "This is a few of the member's I know that work there. These guys are bear shifters, though I know they have some wolf shifters working too.* I nodded, I was impressed with all the details she was able to give me. * "Slade?" * I looked at Brennan and sensed a little fear coming off of her. * "You're not gonna make me go back there with you, are you?" * I shook my head. * No Brennan, I'd never ask you to do that and put you in harms way. * I saw her visibly relax. * You did good Brennan. Thank you. * She smiled. * "So, will you take me to my families home now? I promise, I don't plan to leave town, so if you have any more questions, I'll be available to answer them. But I am a little anxious to see if my home is still livable." * I smirked. * Okay, but only after you eat the roll I brought you, It's from the cafe and they could seriously be in a food group all on their own.

    * Laughing, I reached for the bag and took out a cinnamon roll. Ot was sticky and sweet smelling of cinnamon. I took a bite and was suger heaven. I gave Slade a thumbs up as I chewed. After I swallowed, I took a drink of coffee and looked at Slade. He looked tired but in good spirits. * How is Jordan doing? Is she remembering anything? I feel bad, Slade. I wish I could have gotten to her sooner. Maybe she'd remember faster. * I took another bite and sat back in my chair.* Whoever made these needs a medal. They're wonderful.

    * I agree'd with her, they were amazing. * She refuses to see me, but I trust Lily and have faith that my Jordan will be back with me soon. * We both ate in silence until our cinnamon rolls were gone. Brennan finished off her coffee and washed her hands. * "So? Would you be willing to take me to my families home now." * I smirked. * Yeah, I'd be happy to take you. * She smiled at me and grabbed a key out of her backpack. Then she pocketed her room key. * Is that everything you need. * She shrugged. * "It's all I got!" * I opened her room door. * Lead the way Brennan! Let's go check out your house. * Following her out of her room, I made sure the door was locked. We took the stairs and headed out to my pickup. * "It's on the west edge of town on Canal street." * McGregor wasn't a large town so it only took about 3 minutes to get to Canal street. It had taken a minute, but I knew it was her house the second I saw it. * I remember, it's the yellow house right? * Her face lit up when it came into view. * "Yeah!" * I pulled up into the dirt drive. The grass wasn't too tall yet, but I made a mental note to have someone come by and mow it for her. We had teenagers that would mow it for a small fee. I put my pickup into park and looked at her. She had tears in her eyes. * Come on, let's look over the outside and then check out the inside. * She nodded and let herself out. Walking through the small gate of the stone fence, we walked around the whole outside of the house. The siding and paint looked a little ragged, but the foundation of the house looked to be in tact. There were no hole's, I did notice one window that was cracked, but that would be easily replaced. * I think the outside could use new siding, the porch needs to be sanded down then the whole thing repainted. * Brennan sighed. I knew she worried about the money, but we took care of our own. * Listen, I know you worry about the money. But were a pack, we take care of each other. Let us help you and then you can pay us back a little at a time. It's really no problem. * Brennan nodded and unlocked the door. She took a breath before opening the door and walking inside. *

    * I was nervous when I opened the door but, Slade was right behind me. The door swung open easily, which was good. I let my eyes adjust to the light and stepped inside. The hard wood floor creaked but, it always had. It was dusty, cobwebs clung to corners. I looked down at the floor and choked back some tears. My mothers hand made rug was still here, the colors were faded but, it still looked to be in good shape. Most of the furniture was gone from the living room but, the heavy oak table and chairs that had belonged to my grandmother was still there. I teared up at seeing the table. I actually thought I never would again. Slade followed me quietly as I went from room to room. The bathroom was is good shade and both bedrooms were empty. The only thing left of my youth was the pink paint on the wall in the room that had once been mine. I didn't spend a lot of time in there, instead I turned and head back towrds the kitchen to check out the screened porch and washer/dryer hook ups. I looked out over the wide backyard and crossed my arms over my chest.* I think it just needs to be cleaned. Then it'll be livable again. What do you think. Slade?

    * I looked under the sink in the bathroom, checking for leaky pipes. There didn't seem to be any, the toilet looked good too. I followed her through the house and once we made it to the kitchen I did the same thing. Looked at the pipes under her sink. I turned on the cold water. It took a minute, water began to trickle out and then the pipes shook a little through out the house and soon murky water was coming out. I let it run until it was clear. I smiled at Brennan. * We need to check the hot water heater. It may need to be replaced since it has set so long unused, but I think everything is good. * Brennan smiled and then sighed. * "I don't even know how to start." * I pulled my phone out and sent a text to +Raechel Hadrian. The female's were almost finished with their community service, but I knew they'd be willing even if they weren't being punished. * Don't worry, I got you covered. Just be here in a couple of hours okay? * She nodded. * "Okaaay, I figured I would hang out here, maybe open up the house and I'm sure there has to be a broom around here I could start knocking down these cobwebs." * I nodded. * Sounds good. Reinforcement's will arrive soon. * I smiled, with those four she had no idea what she was getting into. I hid my chuckle. * Make a list of things that need to be repaired if you come across anything else. I'm gonna go, but I will have one of the enforcers come by to check on you. * Brennan smiled. * "Thank you Slade." You're welcome, glad your back Brennan. * I left and headed to the Hardware store. I spoke with Frank about the window and hot water heater. He'd send a crew out this afternoon to take care of it and whatever else she might need. I thanked him and headed into the office. *

* 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 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....
