shaken by the intensity of his protective feelings for the girls.
Jax moved into the room as Reven approached and sat heavily on the corner of the bed closest to the door. “Everyone is in place. They won’t get out of the door before they are caught.” Jax told him through the Shengari’ before standing up and pacing with worry.
It wasn’t until they heard the rustling of wrappers and the giggles of the baby in the next room that they collapsed on the same bed and hugged in happiness. Until Jax realized what they were doing and pulled away.
Not giving her time to recover and dwell on anger and regret, or yell at him, Reven held his finger to his lips and stood near the wall pretending to have heard something. Thing is, he was more concerned that he hadn’t heard anything since the initial sounds of the wrappers.
Jax became immediately concerned for the children and headed to the door to check on them when Reven stopped her. “We need to knock on the wall first. We can’t just barge in there.” Reven urged, not wanting to scare the girl more than she already was.
Jax nodded her head, hating that he was right, but knowing now was not the time for her irritation with him. “I have an idea. Trust me?” Jax said, looking into his blue eyes as if challenging him. She was taken aback by his instant response.
“With my life.” Reven said, meaning it.
Reven stepped out of her way and watched curiously as Jax grabbed a bucket and what looked like a garbage bag. She slid out of the door to the left; her brief glance in the open door didn’t show her where the children were in the room, and she shook her head at Reven to let him know before disappearing.
Reven paced the room, listening for any sounds coming from the children in the next room. Worried, he called through the Shengari’ to find out if the other teams, guarding the outer perimeter of the motel, had seen the children leave.
When they all responded back with a negative, he contacted Grai to give him an update and to hear his thoughts on the situation, as a father of a special child.
“Grai?”
“Are the children well, my friend?” Grai asked, his concern bleeding through the Shengari’.
Reven explained the situation to him, the condition of the girls and the unique camouflage ability that they still weren’t sure which child was doing.
“I will ask Amun to be on standby. I have no doubt that he would want to be the one to ensure their health. And he has an uncanny ability to ferret out the secrets of the gifts and energy of our hybrids. He may be able to shed some light on things.” Grai said, trying to keep his anger and frustration under control.
He wanted the children in Dillon. Now. However, from what Reven had told him, they had no choice but to try to earn the trust of the older child first. Unsure of the extent of their gifts, they could easily make a mistake that could drive the girls from them and directly into danger.
Reven ended his conversation with Grai when he heard Jax coming back down the hallway, making no attempt to silence the clinking of the bucket she carried.
“Just ice, guys. I’m just bringing in some ice for your drinks. I’ll put it in the sink and leave; I promise.” Jax said quietly, but loud enough for the children to hear.
Jax glanced at Reven when they still didn’t hear anything. Pulling her shoulders back, she walked into the room and stopped in her tracks. She sucked in such a sharp breath, and the bucket of ice rattled.
Reven could feel the riot of emotions emanating off of a distracted Jax and couldn’t stand not knowing what she was seeing and if the girls were ok.
Striding through the door behind Jax, he grabbed the ice bucket before it could slip from her hands. He placed it on the dresser absently as he struggled to understand what he was seeing.
He looked to Jax to explain it to him and saw
