“Your father is being arrested for bribery, conspiracy, and public corruption. He’ll be going away for a very, very long time, so I’d prepare yourself for that.”
She blinks up at me, her eyes wide with shock. Then my words seem to hit her all at once and she collapses to the floor, wailing and screaming like I just told her he was dead.
Brandi’s mother hurries down the stairs in her robe, running her hands through her hair. The glazed look in her eye tells me why she hadn’t come downstairs until now, despite all the commotion.
I guess turning to alcohol when you have a husband like the chief and a daughter like this makes sense.
“You can go, now,” one of my friends, Officer Beck says, clapping a hand on my shoulder. “We’ve got it covered now. I know you probably want to be out with the rest of the force doing the sweeps to try and find your mate.”
“Really?” I ask, scrubbing a hand down my face.
“Really, we’ve got it handled here.”
Thanks to my position, we practically have the entire force searching around areas Milo thinks Reyna could be located.
I’m getting ready to hop back in my squad car when my phone rings.
Milo’s name fills my phone screen and I immediately pick up.
“Hey,” I say.
“Give me a second to patch the others in,” Milo says, his voice almost breathless.
“Hello?” Killian says a couple of seconds later. “Sorry, I had to get out of that stupid meeting.”
“What’s going on?” Theo asks.
“I found her. I—I have her location,” Milo says, his voice breaking. “I’m sending it to you all now.”
“Holy fuck,” I breathe out, slamming the car door closed behind me. The engine rumbles to life and I peel out of the chief’s driveway. I don’t even know where I’m headed yet, but there’s no way I can just sit still.
Not when we know where Reyna is.
My phone buzzes and a location pops up on my screen.
I spin the car around, my tires screeching against the concrete as I turn my lights on and pull an illegal U-turn.
“I’m heading there now,” Theo says. I can hear the rumble of his car too.
“Me too,” Killian growls, his voice low. There’s some commotion on his end of the line as he tells the people he must’ve been in a meeting with that he’s leaving.
“How were you able to find her?” I ask.
“She—she managed to get a hold of a phone,” Milo says, his voice coming through my car’s speakers. I hear a car door slam in the background. He must be driving too. Like hell would any of us miss the chance to rescue our girl.
“She called her mom from a phone she stole from someone, and even though it was a short call because she had to hang up because she was worried a guard was coming, I was able to trace it,” he continues.
“She stole a phone? That’s our girl,” Theo says.
“But if a guard was coming, she could be in danger,” Killian growls. “Especially if she was caught with something like someone else’s phone.”
“I’ve conveyed details to the Ward Pack and they have their teams mobilizing to help with the rescue and extraction.”
“I’ll let the force know and have our units sent over to help with things,” I say. “We’re getting our omega back safe.”
I’ve never felt more certain about anything in my entire life. We’re getting Reyna back or we’re going to die trying.
