LOGINZale is trying to be diplomatic - let's see how he goes. Thanks for reading, I hope you are enjoying reading as much as I am enjoying writing.
“Just had an idea.” She links back.“Dr Gamwell, when you and Anders removed my details from the medical records, you said once it was logged it couldn’t be fully removed but could be buried in the archive. Right?”Dr Gamewell looks up surprised by the change in topic but answers anyway. “Yes that’s right, but you need to know what you are looking for first. If you are still worried about your files we have tagged them to let us know if they are ever accessed and no notifications have been made yet.”“I’m not worried about that, but I do have a follow up question for you about the archives. Are they linked to all Clan hospitals?” She checks carefully and I know exactly what she’s thinking and it’s a clever way to investigate Brett’s family.“Well yes they are all linked, every Clan. Why are you asking me this.?” He can sense that she has a motive behind her questions and is trying, unsuccessfully to hide his frown.“Hypothetically speaking, how would you feel if you found out that a
“Can I raincheck or does it have to be today? That tired me more than I thought it would, and I think I should talk to GeGe and Pops about my training.” I link back and lean again Zale as he motions to the camera above the door and we are buzzed out of the cell block, Dad and Thomas trailing behind us with Anders the last one to leave and make sure we are all out safely.“It doesn’t have to be today; you can definitely have a raincheck.” Zale promises, his arm pulling me in closer to him as we continue back to the car.“Well, that was an interesting technique you used there, Wills.” Anders comments out loud and I think it’s a compliment, but I can’t be sure. I give him a sceptical look, and he holds up his hands in defence. “I mean it.”“I know that you got a lot of information about the attempt from them but there was something that niggled at me, it didn’t make sense at the time, and I wanted to find out why is all.” I shrug and try to explain as simply as I can. “Right before he sho
He sighs heavily, his head hanging as he tries to find the strength to speak. I want to reach out to him, give a small hand of comfort, but know I can’t. I haven’t forgotten he tried to kidnap me and neither has Zale or Anders, but I feel for him and whatever trauma he has had that influenced him to make the bad decisions that led him here.“The Alpha heir of the Waterson Clan. She was his secretary and he used her as a test subject, he tested on her and my pups, and they all covered it all up.” He starts to explain slowly; every word dragged from him. “She wasn’t feeling well for days, neither were the girls. They went missing for three days, I could feel them for that whole time, but I couldn’t find them and no one believed me. Then the bonds snapped and they said it was a car accident. But I know that’s not what happened.”A feeling of déjà vu hits me and sends a chill down my spine. I hope I’m wrong. “Your mate and pups were sick, what did they say was wrong, what were the symptoms
“What’s you name?” I ask softly, trying to let him know that I not here to hurt him, to appear at least a little trustworthy given his current circumstances.“Brett.” He huffs and shifts his legs uncomfortably, his arms chained behind him.“I’m Wills. Have we ever met before Brett?” I move to lean back against the wall beside the door, keeping to the rules Anders set but trying to relax a little.“No.” he mutters not looking up.“So, I didn’t offend or do anything to you?” I prompt.“No.”“Then why would you shoot me, twice, with a tranquiliser and try to kidnap me?” I ask, trying to understand his motives – somehow I doubt they are his.“I was paid to.” He shrugs.“Hmm, what were you going to get for me?” I cross my arms, I don’t know why but I don’t think it’s money alone that was driving him. If it was he wouldn’t have apologised before he shot me.“Twenty thousand. Five upfront and fifteen on delivery.” He states, his voice cold and his eyes still not looking at me.“Wow, that’s a
The sound echoes making me jump at little.“You are safe, but we can leave if you want.” Zale links me, giving my hand a squeeze. I give him a grateful smile, but shake my head, I was startled but not enough to forget what I am here to do – what my intuition is telling me needs to happen.Anders takes us to the end of the hall, past some offices and then down a flight of stairs to another guarded metal door. He turns to face us all. “Ok, before we go into the cell block we need to reconfirm the rules.”He gives me a pointed look that Zale, Thomas and my father all mirror. “Sure, pick on the only girl. Ok the rules are that Anders goes in first and I stay behind him at all times and close to the door.”“Correct. If anything happens you leave the interview room immediately no arguments.” Anders turns to the guard on his left who steps away from another console. Anders types in some codes, has his hand scanned again and then looks up and signals at a camera above the door. The locks relea
WillowThe drive to the cells takes about twenty minutes and is located under the training grounds. I hadn’t been to the training ground before and my head is on a perpetual swivel as I take in the athletic like stadium before me with a large auditorium style gym attached on the right.Anders jumps out of the car first, holding the door open for Thomas to follow him, while Zale walks around from the driver side to get my door. He’s big on being a gentleman. He already made me promise to stay in the car until he could come and get me. He’s feeling overly protective again, which I can understand.“This is my pride and joy!” Anders says, his arms stretching out wide to show off of the building in front of us. A look of parental pride on his face. “Designed, built and birthed her ten years ago and she’s done me proud ever since.”“He does know it’s a couple of buildings, right?” I whisper as Zale takes my hand to lead me to the front doors of the stadium on the left.“Shhh, baby girl. It’s
“Get more scouts in there – get me her name.”“I have two scouts on route already – I’ll notify you as soon as I get word.” Kieran gives me a nod and disappears, closing my office door carefully.I end the conference call with my client and close the laptop lid carefully, even though I want to slam
“What’s the story with Ryker, I saw your reaction when she said his name – you don’t like him.” Thomas states.“I don’t know him, but with the way he acted with her on Monday, she said he was weird and asking her questions about her background, kept asking what Clan she was from. That and the way he
[“What are you two idiots up to now.” ] I demand, suspicious that they have been up to their office pranking again.“Ah… it’s a just a joke…” James tries to explain his eyes on me instead of Wills. A buzzer sounds loudly in the room cutting them off and I see the colour drain from their faces.[“Wha
“Yes, you two, please explain to our guests what a Knotter is.” Zale says behind the two of them. My lips twitch as I meet Zale’s eyes, he gives me a wink, having caught on to the mischief I am making.“Ah...it’s... it's a typo, the mug is completely ruined, we meant to write…” James looks at Gary f
