every port conceivable to escape from. Maybe one of them would call soon, he had to get a lead, or Diavolo would have his hide.
Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and barked, "What?"
"Sir, we found them. They are in Portsmouth at the waterfront waiting on a ferry,” one of his men informed him.
"Excellent. Keep your distance. I am on my way ,” he ordered.
"Yes, sir."
He hung up and headed out. He was only a couple of hours away in driving distance. He could hop a copter and be there in a half hour. He smiled, they wouldn't know what hit them and he would finally have a bargaining chip against his brother. He would have to help him or risk being outted to the masses.

As Striker watched Mia play with her food, he felt a ripple in his scanning. He immediately became alert and that alerted Eric. They both began to search their surroundings , keeping everything calm at the table. They didn't want to alert Mia and get her upset yet; soon they would lose her to the fear again. It angered Striker and Eric both to know that whoever was out there had once again already taken Mia away from them mentally and emotionally.
Striker let his rage roll through him and was surprised when he felt Mia's hand on his own. She had felt his emotional shift and responded to it. Their mate link was strengthening and it was surprising how strong it was. He turned his hand to give hers a squeeze of reassurance. He turned to look at Eric.
'Be ready to take Mia away from here. My father sent an email for us to meet a plane in a town called Ver-sur-Mer, France. Go there. You both will be safe, ’ Striker sent.
'What about you? ’ Eric asked.
'I will be fine. I am going to stop whoever this is from following you , ’ Striker told him.
"No. We all go together. ” Mia cut in and both men looked at her then each other in shock. When she saw their looks to one another, she said, "It's easy to read you both. There is danger, I understand that. But we go together or not at all."
"Mia, you need to let Eric take you away from here. I need to stop this threat against us ,” Striker said to her.
Mia shook her head. "I can't leave anyone behind. They are evil. I know what they will do ,” she said in a whisper of emotion.
Striker could see she was full of emotion that would boil over at any moment. He wanted to keep her calm, not lose any of the headway they had made so far. He scanned the area again and knew there were two men watching them from an SUV in the back of the parking lot. For the moment, they seemed to be staying put as their heartbeats and breathing didn't show any aggression. They were to watch, that told him there were more Rogues on the way. If they were going to go together, they needed to go now.
Chapter Nine
The jet touched down and Orfeo, Dante, Tripp, and Marshall got out of the SUV. Bane and Brin were back at the compound working with the leaders of the different groups who had moved onto the Senate's compound. They were trying to use every form of magic they had at their disposal to build a barrier to keep the Rogues out.
The jet door folded out to reveal stairs and then two Enforcers came out, scanned the area, and then moved to the bottom of the staircase. The men on the ground watched as Jaden stepped through the doorway first and then turned to help his mate exit. She took his hand and they descended the stairs together. Cami looked regal as she stepped onto the ground, turning as the other members of her flight joined her. Jo, Tey, Darien, and Cloe joined them at the bottom as they all converged on the Senate members, shaking hands in greeting.
"Orfeo! ” Cami gave him a hug and he awkwardly hugged her back. She had the same greeting for all the men, and then said, "Let's go. We have a lot to do."
Everyone chuckled as Cami gave orders, loading everyone in the SUVs , they all knew not to interfere with
