Page 71 of Whispered Warnings: Part Two

I give him a smirk of my own, “Because you are fucking hot, and I want to lick you, and then I want to fuck you, but I really don’t have time right now, so get dressed while I wake the others up, and then I will explain.”

His eyes heat, and he chuckles, “I’ve missed the way that you always speak what’s on your mind. Give me two minutes, and I’ll come and help you wake them up.”

I nod and then head to the next door. I end up walking through the whole floor and banging on doors, grateful that everyone is at least on the same floor and not spread throughout the house. Once Van is dressed, he goes behind me and wakes up the guys that are a bit harder to wake.

Thankfully, it doesn’t take too long, and everyone is gathered in the hallway and looking at me questioningly.

“What’s going on?” Doc asks, his eyes moving over me, assessing what I’m wearing and the packed bags.

“I got a call from an old friend, and she needs my help. I didn’t want to go without telling you guys,” I explain, “I will be back, but I’m not sure when.”

“Okay,” River says, “what’s the issue?”

“She’s had a few people go missing, and now there’s footage that someone has captured that’s apparently really concerning. She needs me to figure out what’s going on before the humans realize that there’s something to be concerned about,” I explain, I figure there’s no reason not to.

“Do you want some help? We can come?” Raiden offers.

I still, it hadn’t actually occurred to me that they could come with me, and it definitely didn’t occur to me that they would want to.

“Do you want to?” I ask them.

They all nod.

“Of course we do,” Reed replies with a slight frown, like he’s confused about why I’m asking.

“It sounds like something that we can help with anyway,” Ransom points out.

“Yeah, actually, it would be really helpful to have you guys there, and I will be able to fix it a lot quicker if I’m not trying to do it by myself,” I reply.

“It’s settled then,” Griff says as he starts to turn back to his room, no doubt to go and get changed.

“Wait,” I call out, and he turns back. “Are you guys going to be able to get time off? Especially you, Doc?”

“You realize that you work for SID as well, right?” River asks with a smile.

I shrug, “I was going to ask for forgiveness and not permission.”

Evander chuckles, “Of course you were.”

“It should be okay,” Doc replies.

“We’re all just waiting for another hybrid lead anyway since Ty moved us, so we are only working on that case. It’s been suspiciously quiet,” Evander adds with a frown.

“Yeah. It has. Maybe we freaked them out when we got so close to the portal that they were using?” Raiden suggests.

“Guys, we’re on a time limit,” I remind them. It’s usually me who derails the conversation, but I have learned that they are quite capable of doing it themselves.

“Shit, yeah,” Van says. “Get dressed and grab your go bags.”

Everyone disperses as they walk back to their rooms, and I call out after them, “Make sure you’ve got enough warm clothes, it's fucking freezing in Ireland at the moment.”

They all freeze, River poking his head back out of his door and looking at me excitedly.

“Wait, Ireland?” he asks. “We’re going to Ireland?”

I nod, “Yeah, Sully’s waiting, so we need to get to his place quickly.”

“Why?” Doc asks, looking confused.
