popped up to connect any of them to other human trafficking schemes. Both Jay and the General had then asked Kenzie to snoop around on some chat rooms to find out about who might be in the market for some Caucasian women. She’d uncovered a Saudi prince, one billionaire Egyptian, a Swiss scientist, and a half dozen Russians who’d been querying online about procuring women. They claimed they were interested in marriage, but Kenzie said only one or two might actually be legit. Bottom line was that they were still unable to locate the buyers. Jay then called in a few favors from his FBI contacts, but so far no one had provided him with any viable leads.
    His cell rang, and he welcomed the diversion. It was the General. “Yes, sir?”
    “We have a little situation, but it’s nothing serious.” He explained that Michelle, the missing nurse from Statler’s warehouse, had been saved from a certain death, and that she and the guard who beat her, were now in his safe house in Lippett Falls. “I’m sending MacKenzie and Sam up there to escort them both to Florida.”
    A rush of relief shot through him that the nurse Sarah liked so much was safe, but he wasn’t sure having the guard around Michelle was smart—unless the General thought the man could be useful. “What would you like me to do?”
    “Go over to this safe house and make sure the transfer goes smoothly. No telling what will happen if Statler finds out they’re still around. We don’t need him learning we’re involved. Just so you know, Trax and Dante were keeping watch, but Trax just called and said he and Dante had to leave. The man has been secured.”
    “I understand.” Jay had a ton of questions about who had saved the girl, and why hadn’t he been told about the rescue, but if the General had needed him to know beforehand, he would have told him.
    Armand gave him directions to the house and said to expect his cousin and her fiancé by tonight. They were flying up on the General’s private jet and would then be transported by helicopter to town.
    Happy to have something constructive to do, he headed out. Jay agreed that if the woman was injured, she shouldn’t be left alone. He texted Riley and informed him about his plans. Given his roommate’s protective streak, if he returned and found Jay gone, he’d assume the worst.
    The safe house was about seven miles from the motel. Most likely the General decided Trax and Dante should be the ones to stay there since they would need a lot of space to set up their surveillance equipment.
    Kenzie and Sam wouldn’t be there for another five hours, and he’d need to eat soon. He could only guess the woman and the guard might appreciate something, too. When the same convenience store where they’d met Sarah popped into view, he stopped and picked up sandwiches and some fruit, along with some soup for Michelle in case eating was difficult for her.
    He was still trying to figure out how Michelle ended up in the General’s care when the house came into view. A black truck that looked similar to the one the giant drove sat in the drive. Armand hadn’t said anything about Trax and Dante having company, unless Statler had found their safe haven. Well, fuck!
    Jay’s heart raced. He rushed on past and then pulled off to the side of the road a half-mile later. If Statler’s man was there, the entire operation could be compromised.
    Decision time. He could wait in his wolf form, and when the giant brought out the guard and the injured woman, Jay could attack. The problem would be the giant might drop her in order to shift. Shit.
    He texted Dante: General asked that I watch Michelle and guard. One of Statler’s men is here. Please advise.
    He hit send but immediately realized the giant might be there to kill Michelle and free the guard. There was no time to wait. Jay turned around, drove straight back to the house, and pulled into the drive, blocking the giant’s exit.
    Fighting with him would have an uncertain
