“Yeah.”

“You really can just use their names.”

“What fun is that?”

“Wait. What am I listed as?”

“I’m not telling. You’ll figure it out.”

I shook my head as I clicked on ‘Badass Alpha Bitch’ and waited for it to ring through.

“Why are you calling Kelsey?”

“She owes me a favor.”

“Kelsey Westin owes you a favor? She doesn’t give favors or put herself in a position to owe anyone anything.”

“Hey Taylor.”

“It’s Lachlan. I swear everyone answers her calls that way.”

“Lachie? What’s up? Are you okay? I heard about your mate.”

“That’s kind of why I’m calling, Kels. I found her.”

“What? That’s great! I hadn’t heard.”

“It’s not so great. Just because I found her doesn’t mean I have her back. She’s being held at a facility next to the auction house.”

“You’re sure of this?”

“I’m positive. I smelled her there.”

“But you didn’t find her?”

“Not yet.”

“Well, you wouldn’t be calling me if you didn’t need my help.”

“Remember that favor you owe me?”

She sighed. “Time to pay up, I get it. What do you need?”

“All teams in Australia called in here. I need an orchestrated attack, one that they won’t see coming, but also discreet enough not to alarm the Collectors next door.”

“Aren’t the Collectors the ones running the place?”

“Maybe, but I don’t think so. Which is why I’m going to need Marie here.”

“Marie fought to get an exemption from this trip.”

“I know, and I know why.”

She chuckled. “Why doesn’t that surprise me?”

“I don’t need you to convince or force Marie to come. I’ll handle that. I just need you to get Kyle and Patrick to approve it.”

“Is there more?”
