grabbed another
disposable tip and placed it on the otoscope. “After that, it was Slate’s
mother and sister who were attacked, and they flew down to rescue them. Let’s
see.” Seamus stopped and looked at the wall as he brought up his memories.
“Then Slate and a few others were shot at and crashed their car. Uh,
Havana—that’s Alphy’s sister—she was abducted, and
Nix’s mate crashed a plane with Alphy and Gale in it. Alphy had a branch spear his stomach from it. And it
would be just a week ago tomorrow, Nix was shot.” Seamus turned to her and
smiled as he indicated he wanted to look up her nose.
Maysa sat quiet, absorbing all the drama this pack had already been through. But
Seamus wasn’t finished. Throwing the disposable tip away, he leaned his hip
against the table. “And everyone is still talking about Slate’s mate, Katie, my
nurse, who it was just discovered is pregnant and expecting triplets.”
Maysa couldn’t take any more. “Hold it, stop. Triplets? Shootings and plane crashes? All that stuff has happened in just one month?
Seamus, how could this pack be through so much and still take me in? The people
who are after me are powerful.” Maysa felt doubt
swamp her. There is no way this little
pack can help, she thought to herself.
“Stop,” he said gently as h e took both of her hands in his. “ Alphy is very powerful, and fate has blessed him, a lot.
He’s not one to back away from a challenge, believing he’s given it because no
one else can do it. And both of us believe that you were brought to us for a
reason. Don’t underestimate us.” His thumbs rubbed over her hands, both calming
her and exciting her.
She dropped her eyes and exhaled a breath she didn’t
realize she was holding. Seamus moved closer and drew her closer, pressing her
head against his chest. She could hear the thump, thump of his heart, the sound
and rhythm further calming her. She leaned back and asked. “So did you see
anything in my exam? A mucous covered scent - stealing monster or
mite or something?”
Seamus laughed. “No monsters or mites. Everything
looks and sounds normal. I won’t be able to do more until I get a chance at
seeing your blood, and I won’t push you on that just yet. If I detect your
health is compromised in a life - threatening way, I will be
honest and say I will push to take some then, but we can just wait and see for
now, if that is what you want.”
Footsteps were heard making their way up the stairs. Maysa answered with a nod just as she heard Alphy’s voice. “Knock, Knock.”
“Come on in, Alphy ,” Seamus
called out. He grabbed her hand and helped her off the bed. They met at the
table, sitting down in the chairs. Alphy held a
tablet up for her to see what he had on it. It was Google Maps, with the
satellite view. “So here we are up here.”
They spent twenty minutes looking over the map,
pulling up street pictures until they found the building she had escaped from.
“That’s it! That’s the one. I escaped out of that window, right there.” Maysa was excited she had found the building. It was in the
area of Buffalo, New York. She wasn’t sure if it was a good excitement or a
terrible excitement, because she was happy she was successful in locating where
her family, and others, were being held, but was sick with the memories of what
she endured there. She really didn’t want to go back.
“Good work, Maysa . I’ll get
a plan and a team together. Sea, I have to ask that you come with us.”
“Undoubtedly. Maysa .” Seamus brought her closer to his side, his arm already
around her . It hadn’t moved since he had helped her off the exam
bed. “Would you like to come with us?” Maysa felt the
blood drain from her face. Seamus’s eyes widened, and he quickly added, “I
meant to wait for us at a hotel. If your family is still there, I just thought
you would like to see them, and seeing you could help them feel more at ease,
in return.”
