Chapter 0604

“Okay.” Colt sat down in his chair-He I just shrugged and started working on his I computer.

/ Iwas so caught off guard that I wasn’t i sure what to say. I figured he would have argued that I needed to heal more or it’s too dangerous or something. Alec moved over to a chair and sat down, leaving me to stand by the door, looking lost.

“Okay?” 1 repeated as I moved to sit beside Alec.

“Yeah. That has been the plan since we found out they were going to the beach. It was more of making sure you lived as for timing.” Colt didn’t even look at me as he kept typing away.

“Done!” Penny slammed down her fist before she stood up.

(o\ it? v : “Got it?” Colt asked, looking up at hernoveldrama

\ and holding out his hand.

\ “I do. It took some... convincing but it’s y I done.” Penny looked a little devilish-but I who was I to comment on looks right now.

{Colt took the paper and looked it over before handing it out to Alec. “Thanks, hun.” Colt smiled at Penny.

“What is it?” Standing up, I walked over to look over Alec’s shoulder but he pulled me down into his lap instead.

“This is how we are going to get to Florida undetected. We will be taken to this location. There, we will hide out and wait for information on where Adalynn is being held.” Alec pointed at each address and traced his finger on the map.

“So when do we leave?” My eyes locked with Alec. “Tonight. We need to move in the dark.” I knew he was right but my heart didn’t

want to listen. “What am I suppose to do } all day?” “You are going to come with me.” Periy I sounded way too cheerful as she bounced over to me.

{My body reacted on it's own and leaned away from her. “Doing... what?” Penny rolled her eyes. “You can whip off that grimace off your face. We are going to slather you in cream. It is a herbal remedy for burns.” “I think I am looking pretty good...” Not that it didn’t sound like fun... I didn’t want to be away from the information as it came in.

“You look like a puffy tomato with bug bites.” Penny folded her arms over her chest.

“Damn, Penny.” I was both proud and I annoyed with her sarcastic remark.

“Come on. You can act like I hurt your

\ feelings as I cover your entire body with ) cream.” Penny nudged my arm and walked to the door. “Come on, tomato.” “I'll mind-link you if anything comes I up.” Alec promised. He slapped my thigh I before nudging me to get up.

\ “Did you know about this?” Alec didn’t even try to hide his guilt.

“Sure did. You wouldn’t have came if I told you. I love you so go get better.” Standing up with my arms folded over my arms, I just looked at him. “You realize she is going to touch every inch of my skin. Touch me in places that you haven't in days.” “Gross.” Colt fake vomited.

Alec frowned at me. “She is going to wear gloves. Don’t be so dramatic.” “Fine but when I like it, you have only yourself to blame.” Stomping away, I could hear Alec snort.

\ “That’s the spirit!” Penny smiled at me ) asl passed her.

I kept walking even after I heard the office door shut. “It won’t be so bad.” \ “Penny, would you want to leave if it was {your kids that were kidnapped?” “No but I wouldn’t have gotten out of bed. You are stronger than you think.” Penny led me to the hospital room in the packhouse. “In here?” “Yeah. Get naked and lay down on the table.” Penny walked over to the table. Putting on gloves, she looked at me and snapped them like you see in the movies.

“Really?” “Yes ma'am.” All I could do was stare at the stained ceiling tiles.

Penny started at my feet. The cream was cold on my skin, making me twitch every

I" time she put some on.

I “You do look better.” I “My wolf is asleep and probably will for another day or two.” “Well, it might take a couple days so let I your wolf sleep. I have a feeling you will need all her energy in the end.” Penny sounded like she knew something I didn’t.

“What do you know?” I didn’t have to look down at her since she was working on my stomach.

“Just that Colt said it would be you and him verse Anthony and Ann. I know Ann isn’t a fighter but I do need to ask something.” “What?” “When the time comes... help Colt kill Anthony.” “What do you mean?”

“I mean that Colt intends to challenge ) Anthony if it comes to it. He isn’t going to I let Anthony get away. \ I Don’t let Colt challenge Anthony. Just kill Ann and it will be two against one. You [can fight Anthony right?” “Colt intends to challenge Anthony?” I wasn’t shocked but yet... was. “Yeah.

Adalynn might be your child but she is his blood. You know better than anyone that you don’t mess with your blood. Colt is handling it personally.” “What about Alec?” “The plan is Alec will get Adalynn away.

If Anthony manages to have backup, which we don’t believe he will, but if he does than Alec will be the best option to keep her safe. Everyone knows that Ann is yours. Alec wanted to be the one to till Anthony but Adalynn won't go to Colt like she would Alec. Colt promised to kill Anthony by any means necessary.”

“Does Alec know he plans on challenging ) him?” By this time, I was completely covered in the front.

a I Sit up for me.” Listening to Penny, I sat up so she could get my back.

I “Well?” ) “No.. well, not to my knowledge.” Penny sighed. “Stand up.” Doing what she asked, I tried to not mess up any of the cream. “Colt doesn’t want to let Alec down and Alec is putting a lot of trust in Colt to handle it.”
