Going Hunting

I collected the clothes Gia had purchased for me and headed downstairs to sit on the steps. Elisabeth drove up in a dark black SUV and behind her, Francesca parked in a little green Prius. I smiled.

"Pick one," Elisabeth said.

"Whose are they?"

"Both are mine."

"Do you mind if I take the Prius?"

"No." Francesca handed me the key. Elisabeth handed me a cell phone and a roll of money. "It's about five hundred dollars. It's what I had ready."

"Thank you, Elisabeth." I hugged her. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. Where will you go? Your home isn't safe."

"I know. Trust my judgment."

She nodded. "I will."

I climbed into the Prius, maneuvered it around the SUV, and was soon on my way. I drove slowly until I reached the main highway, taking twenty minutes to get there. My headache had returned, but no one stopped me, and no one was following me. I pulled over, climbed out of the car, and searched the sky for airplanes. There was an airliner high in the sky, but nothing else.

I reached into the car and grabbed the phone. I called Elisabeth.

"Where are you?" I asked her.

"Still at the compound," she said. "What's wrong?"

"My head hurts."

"I thought it might."

"Maybe it would be better if you drove."

"I could do that. Are you coming back? Or I can have Francesca drive me to you."

"I'm at the highway. I'll wait here. Elisabeth, we're going hunting. I can wait if you need to pack. Bring a computer with a satellite uplink, if you have one."

"I love to hunt, Fox. I can't wait to watch you."

"Thank you, Elisabeth. You're going to make an awesome sister-in-law."

She laughed. "And you're going to be a pain in the ass of a sister-in-law."

"I wonder if I should wait for the alpha to ask me."

"Naw. Why do anything her way?"

"You're right. Why start now?"

She laughed. "Will you call her or will I?"

"I will. I'll be waiting for you."

We hung up and I called Lara.

"Gia? Why are you calling me?"

"It's not Gia. I was wondering whose phone this was."

"Michaela." Lara went quiet.

"Elisabeth and I will be wherever you are by noon. If you need her to bring anything or anyone else, call her now and call me back."

"One second, Michaela." Lara held the phone to her chest, but I could hear her talking, presumably to David.

"David will call her."

"Lara, I expect Elisabeth to allow me to do whatever I want, and we report to no one, not even you."

"That's not reasonable," she said.

"Lara, send everyone away. Everyone. Do it, or I drive away and no one finds me. Make sure with your own eyes and ears they all have left."

I heard her send everyone out of the room. There was a pause and a lot of background noise, then it got significantly quieter.

"I'm alone," she said.

"Absolutely alone, and you are completely sure no one can overhear me."

"Yes."

"They might be able to hear you, so you need to say nothing, Lara. Do you understand?"

"No."

"Trust my judgment, Alpha."

"I will say nothing."

"You have a traitor.
