questions regarding the chemical testing’s currently commissioned by the government. Getting answers to pointed questions seemed impossible. That stopped today. The Chief of Staff, who Silas had on speed dial, was authorized to find the answers. Silas didn't like dealing with the man, he sounded oily, slippery, as if he weighed each word so he wouldn't be accountable. Silas had little use for a man who didn't want to stand by his words.
" Tyrese? Tyrone ?" The twins hadn't returned from their vacation on the private island Silas owned in the Caribbean, and hadn't responded when he tried to reach them. Jasmine hadn't become concerned yet, which not only surprised him but was the only reason he hadn't sent Asia or Angus to search for them. The inability to communicate with them bothered him, he'd try to follow his mate's lead and remain calm for another day. After that, he'd send a search party.
Alpha Bartholomew's report regarding the itching stood out in his mind. A few days past when the Alpha had first alerted him of the itching, he hadn't thought much of it. Not until Damian sent a video showing the full-bloods suffering in the clinic. When he saw the video his beast reacted so strongly he'd scratched his arms, leaving long bloody trails. Hawke created a team to fix the problem since several more outbreaks had been reported in the Everglades and Miccosukee Reservation, doubling the number of patients the small clinic now held. Bart secured another, much larger facility, but it would take a few days to gather the required equipment and bring it online. Jacques had stepped in to find equipment from hospitals in Texas and Alabama. Those deliveries would arrive by the end of the week.
The new cases were from remote areas and had nothing in common with the full-bloods in Homestead. Perhaps Hawke's question regarding government testing of a new concoction held merit even though Silas wasn't prepared to make direct inquiries yet.
" Angus?"
"Walking in your office now ." A few seconds later, Angus entered and closed the door behind him. "What are we doing about the twins?"
Silas sensed his littermate’s deep concern. "Nothing until tomorrow. They get one more day."
Angus' brow rose. "Jasmine's not upset?"
Silas understood the disbelief in Angus' voice. "Not yet. But if she says anything, be prepared to leave immediately."
Angus nodded, sat back in the chair and crossed his legs. Similar in height, build, black hair, and signature green eyes, it was evident they were kin. But Angus hadn't been assigned to the new world over 200 years ago to bring order to the packs roaming across the land. Angus' body lacked the scores of Alpha challenges Silas had fought to secure his place as La Patron, with 50 Alphas and the entire United States pack following his lead. Nevertheless, as Jasmine said when she met Angus, he was family, and it was good to see his concern over the twins and their mates.
"You talked to Hawke about the virus?" Angus asked.
"Yes, he's looking into it." Silas paused, ordering his thoughts. "The outbreaks went from east to west into sparsely populated areas." He held up his hand. "Not that I'm complaining, it's just... unusual. Bart cannot find a link between any of the infected, yet there has to be something."
"Also, it targets full-blood males with just one case of a bitch affected. Wonder why nothing happened to Damian and Raoul? They were in the clinic."
"From the little Bart could tell me, it doesn't spread like that. Seems more targeted or something."
"Yeah, but in the Everglades? How'd that happen? Pack members who live there are in remote locations," Angus said.
"True, but like I said, somewhere in all of this there is a common thread, something tying all of them together, we just have to find it. Asia sent Russell the patient files to help Damian filter the information and find the link. As far as Damian not being impacted... must be because he's a hybrid, his internal sensibilities are meshed
