LOGINIt was 5 PM and I was about to close the laptop for the day when the message came through. Someone had just hacked into the Council’s server. I sat there and watched him as he accessed the lists of members on the Council and I started my own trace, copying everything he was doing while also searching his own computer.When he accessed Kiran’s emails I added both our names to the search on his computer and I sat back and watched him. I smiled and turned his camera on as I hacked his computer and I looked at his face. He turned to someone else and looked straight at the camera and the screen went dark.“And who might you be?” I asked out loud as I went back to the image of his face. I had his IP address and his location appeared. It was a coffee shop’s wi-fi in Leavenworth. I was confused for a second because Kiran had wiped Noah’s memories but something must have happened as I looked at everything on his laptop.They’ve been busy, I realized. He had information on me from Boulder, wher
We waited another hour until full darkness had settled around us and I explained to Malcolm how we would do this while we waited. Not one car had passed us as we waited and we crossed the road quickly. The open field was pitch black and I saw the dim lights of the house in the distance.We stopped at the corner of the house and I listened. I could hear movement inside and then her voice as she asked him to let her go and he laughed at her. I looked at Malcolm and I nodded my head. I had told him earlier that I would confirm first that they were inside before we just kicked the door down.I made my way to the back of the house because I had heard them in the front. I picked the lock of the back door and we stood in the dark kitchen and Malcolm closed the door quietly behind him. We had our guns out and I stepped forward.She was sitting on a wooden chair in front of the television with her hands tied to the chair. Jason was sitting on the couch two seats away from her looking at the te
I was busy tracing Jason Kingsley’s credit card and GPS and I was following his trail from gas station to gas station and shop to shop. This guy wasn’t a professional and he had just taken her, didn’t know where to yet but he was still using his card and he wasn’t that far from us.His phone had pinged off a tower just outside Harlowton and then it was switched off. I brought up a satellite image of the area and looked at the town. I found the location of where his phone had been switched off and I looked at the farmhouse a mile away.“Gotcha,” I said to the laptop and smiled.“Gotcha?” Jo asked as she walked through the sliding door and I laughed.“I was talking to the laptop,” I said and she looked at me.“Not weird at all, did you forget about Rayne’s penguin?” she asked me.“Shit, I did,” I said and stood up.“What’s keeping you so preoccupied?” she asked as she looked at the map on the laptop.“Malcolm’s niece disappeared and I think I just found her,” I said as she turned around
Noah and Fred spent a lot more time together unraveling the mystery that was Alex Jennings. They had traveled to White Sulphur Springs and Boulder and Noah would leave his phone with a pack member. If what Fred said was true then Alex would know his every move.“You do realize that they’re all in on it,” Noah said to him.“In on what exactly?” Fred asked him.“That Sinclair guy I met at Fort Bitterroot he introduced Alex as the second chair on the World Council, he knows exactly who and what Alex is,” Noah said.“Is that Sinclair guy even the real head Alpha?” Fred asked him. “I mean they could’ve concocted the whole thing as a set up.”“There’s only one way to find out, we’ll have to go see Christopher James and fish around, he could be in on it as well because he set the meeting up,” Noah said to him.“If he’s in on it and we give away too much information, what’s stopping them from coming after us?” Fred said.“Can’t you just hack into the Council’s site?” Noah asked him.“And do w
More than a year went by without any incidents and I began to relax. Noah’s location showed him in Leavenworth, mostly at his house and he seldom left the town borders and I relaxed more. Our lives went back to the way it was before I knew Noah Rivers existed.The kids grew at an alarming rate and before I knew it we had our second annual Council meeting and we encountered no problems. Levi didn’t show up for that meeting either but we didn’t replace him and I doubted we ever would.I kept myself busy with the construction of a meeting hall about twenty miles from our house on another property I’d bought that would mainly be used for Council Meetings. It kept me busy and I hadn’t killed anyone in six months. I didn’t really have time to go look for evil doers between the construction and the safehouse and I was quite surprised by my next visitor.I had just dropped Regen and Rayne off at daycare and I noticed his car following me. I drove to the grocery store and his car slowed down.
Noah opened the book again and continued reading. It felt surreal reading the words he wrote, but not remembering writing them. He had his work cut out for him. Someone wanted him to forget all this and now he was adamant at exposing the truth.I have no choice now, I’ll petition the World Council and give them Alex’s identity as the wolf killer. She forced my hand in doing this. Maybe when he’s dead I can go see her first as a friend and offer my sympathies. Once he’s cremated she’ll need someone to lean on and that will be me. I’ll be there for her and her feelings will come back.My dad managed to secure an appointment with Mr. Sinclair, head Alpha of the World Council, he would be in Montana at some retreat near Bitterroot Lake and we could go see him. I couldn’t believe our luck because it’s almost impossible to see the head Alpha and I would meet with him in six days.In six days I’ll stand in front of him and tell him that Alex Jennings is the wolf killer everybody’s wondering
Levi sat down opposite me and folded his arms on the counter. His face was unreadable, but his eyes held concern. I had allowed him to witness something private, something that I’d never planned on showing anyone, and I knew that I was going to have to tell him everything.“Is that your thing? The
I left the coffee shop and drove back to the villa I was staying at. I took a shower and settled on the bed with the burner phone.Unknown: Hello Samuel. Attached are photos that I hacked from your phone.Samuel: Who are you? Samuel: What do you want?Unknown: I want $20,000.00 in small bills. Mid
I thought about calling Jules and my mom. I hadn’t called my mom in a week and I hadn’t told her about Jules but I knew she’d have a million questions because she had called while I was in the shower. I called her and hoped that it would ring until I got her voicemail, that she would be busy with s
I went back to the villa and logged into Samuel’s bank account and transferred half of his money. I wiped the villa down after I’d showered and I got on the bike at three AM and started making my way to Concord, North Carolina and Lawrence Patterson.Lawrence Patterson was mainly a recluse who had
