I woke up in bed a little disorientated and mega confused, I remember driving home in the car with Morgan and then that's it. My normal brain starts to work telling me I probably fell asleep and instead of waking me up, I was carried here to bed. I look over and see Toby fast asleep beside, I was so busy yesterday that I didn't get to see him even once. This is just a glimpse of what life's gonna be like if I decide to stay here, unknowing of the next time I'll get to see my mate.
I little sigh escapes my lips as I sit up slightly, rubbing my eyes I turn to the clock, seriously it's 2am! Why can't I have a normal sleep schedule?! I debate whether to try and fall back to sleep, but something sitting on the floor catches my eye. The black rucksack from Richards was sitting on the ground, who would have carried that in from the boot? I even forgot it was there if I'm being honest.I carefully and slowly move Toby's hand from around me, once I was free I slide out of bI soon arrive at the door of the main room, the lights were on which tells me Morgan was already waiting for me there. I scan my keycard the door immediately, unlocking. I push my back against the door to open it, the boxes still taking up my arms. Morgan was sat at his desk waiting for me, but turns when I walk in smiling. "How do you know?" I ask walking into the room, hearing the door close behind me, he just rises from his chair with a smile. "I know you Taylor, I just sensed that you'd be awake right now" he smiles where his eyes soon land on the boxes that were in my arms, I walk over to one of the tables gently placing them down. "I found these at Richards place yesterday, they caught my eye immediately, for good reason" I say turning the boxes around so he could read the front "they were under his bed in a suitcase, these were the most looked after thing in that whole house, read the names" I tell him stepping back at little, he glances at me sl
I woke up a little late for me, Toby was actually the one to wake me up worried something was wrong. I assure him I was fine before getting my butt in gear, we had so much work we needed to get done today. What was plain on my agenda was to track my mum down, only problem was I had no idea how. Toby and I walk together to the main room, which also doesn't happen a lot either. The whole way he kept asking if I was okay, I was trying not to act off but it was hard when I learnt what I did last night, could my mum be helping Richard? Once we make it to the main room, the whole team and Lukas were already there waiting. I send them all a little smile before walking straight to Brandon, he was the only person I could think of that could help me. "What is it that you want my area expertise to help you with?" He asks before I even sat down, I smile taking my seat beside him handing the name of my mother. He immediately, begins to type away on his laptop hackin
I was soon walking back to the main room, Toby wouldn't let me leave until I told him he owned me, it took a lot of persuading on his part, that's all I'm gonna say. He did leave the room with me but we saw Lukas on the way, he was heading to the gym to burn some iron, or that's what he said anyway. He asked Toby if he wanted to join him which he agreed to, so that left me walking the halls by myself. This did give me some room to think about things, mostly about my family who are on the other side of the law. It's crazy to me that we've all took such different routes, they've became criminals and I've became the agent that is hunting them all down. If you would have told me a year ago this is who I'd be hunting down, I wouldn't have even known how to respond. But now I'm here living it, it's insane to me. I was soon scanning my key card and walking back into the main room, Morgan was over with Brandon having a conversation. While Julian's huge pile of papers fal
It was late the next day, the day of my dreaded party. Most people would be happy that their job is throwing them a party, while I am insanely grateful for everyone taking time out of their lives to celebrate my achievements, I just hate the attention. It's also the night I'm gonna have to arrest my family, something that seemed great at the start but after seeing that video, I didn't know anymore. The whole day was spent with us going over plans, there were many different options but we finally settled on one. After Morgan does the speech for me, I'm gonna be scanning the party to see if my family turned up. If I find them, I am to go over first and start having a chat with them just acting normal. When I'm ready, I will start saying the normal things I would when arresting people, which will alert the team and they'll run over to help me. In hindsight that seems like a simple enough plan, but I didn't know if I'd be able to handle it emotionally, it's been a weird few months.
After a few more tears and me having to fix my makeup, we were walking down the hall on the way to see the team. I was so nervous about the next few hours ahead of us, Toby assumed it was just because of the party I was feeling this way. Morgan doesn't want the little fact of us inviting my family, or the plan of us arresting them to get out to anyone who isn't in our team. He thinks that will just have everyone on edge so it won't look like a normal party, which will just make my family see all the red flags and will probably leave. It did suck that I couldn't talk to Toby about my nervous fears over arresting my family, but I knew I couldn't jeopardise the whole of the plan, unfortunately.We soon meet the rest of the team at the exit door to the building, even Cooper was standing there waiting. He isn't a main member of our team but works on the documents and files, which is why he knew about Lukas and Toby arriving without clearance. "Taylor, you did not disap
Morgan and I both walk off stage together, it was really nice of him to say all of what he did. I'm kind of glad he didn't let me read the speech beforehand, I would have spoiled how great it was gonna be. Now the speech was over, it was go time. Toby told me he just needed to use the bathroom, which left me alone to get the job done, thankfully, I wouldn't have to try and explain the situation away if he asked. I began to weave through the crowd, every now and then someone would stop to talk to me, I would have to smile and be polite but in my head, all I was looking around for was my family. I had just finished my first lap of the ballroom, when my eyes go to the outside patio door. As I take a look through I see Jasmine sending me a huge wave, I think I just found them. I take a look to Morgan who was still stood by the stage, I lock eyes with him for a second he immediately, knew where I was about to go. He sends me a nod and a smile before I walk over to the door, to
My family were carted away kicking and screaming, mostly rude comments sent my way. I would just smile and wave them goodbye, like anything a criminal says towards me is gonna affect my day in anyway. The only people in my family who were still sat in what was left of the hedge, was my father and his brother Dominic, they weren't going down without a fight but they were definitely getting one back.Stood by the patio doors of the mansion were, the Director, Morgan and Toby. All of them looking my way, isn't great when you know people are talking about you but you have no idea what is being said. I finish my conversation with Brandon before making my way over to where all of them stood. "Well this has been an explosive party, but I wouldn't expect anything less from you Miss Westlake" the director smiles as I bow my head a little in respect, I'm glad she wasn't mad about the whole secret operation we had going on right under her nose thing "the way you handled your
I was now making my way back into the alliance building, having to drag two very hungover men with me. Both still in blindfolds, but I knew they kind of enjoyed the fact they didn't have to look at the sun. We decided it would be better to stay at the pack last night, the party didn't end until maybe 4am and both Toby and Lukas were completely hammered. But it did give me a chance to see Toby's house and pick out some clothes for me when I visit there. We're making plans for me to stay there but I still don't know what I'm gonna do at this place, I wish there was a way for me to continue to be an alliance agent and stay at Toby's pack. "Our pack" he groans pulling the blindfold off now we're in the building, Lukas keeps his on and tells me just to lead him to the main room. I just laugh a little leading both guys into the main room, where the team where already waiting for us in there. Both guys just walk over to the back of the room, Lukas forgetting to take his
We pull into the alliance with Richard in the back, we didn't even have to stop at the gate as it was already open. The guard at the door sends me a clap as I drove in, I guess the news of us finally catching Richard has got out. Lukas was sat beside me in the same blindfold, but the smile could still be seen on his face. "I can hear everyone's so happy that you've caught him" he smiles as I round the corner to our section, everyone still clapping as we went by. "We caught him, I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help" I smile pulling the car up in the parking space, I get out the car thanking the people that would congratulate me as I went by. I open Richards door unclipping his seatbelt, he hadn't said a word since I placed him in the back. But he follows where I pull him to also get out the car, I than go around and help Lukas to get out of the car and lead them both into the building. Once we were inside, Lukas was able to take the blind
The metal stairs creaked under our feet as we climbed them, maybe having two of us walking up them at the same time wasn't the brightest of idea's. In no time my hair began to blow in the wind as we climbed higher, maybe I should have brought a hair band of some kind. We soon take the last step and were standing on the roof, but it appeared to be only us on this roof. We walk away from the stairs slightly and look around, there isn't anywhere he could be hiding on this place! "We know he has to be here due to the note" I say holding the note in the air looking around, I couldn't help the bad feeling that was growing inside of me. "Or he's just done this to mess with us, why is the man that is supposed to be my father like this?!" Lukas asks throwing his arms in the air in frustration, I just sigh looking out into the distance where I actually see the pack house in Toby's pack, I didn't know we were this close to that place. "Now you may see why I left y
Neither of us spoke on the car ride to the warehouse, the vibe in the car was tense and anxious over the next moments ahead. In a few short hours, this whole situation with Richard could come to an end or take an even bigger shift and turn no one is expecting. In my mind I was going over the plan and everything that we knew, which helped me not to worry over the little details. From all the letters Richard has been sending me, we know he has some kind of care towards me so I don't think I need to worry about him surprise attacking us. But I also know how much Richard goes over things, he could have been coming up with this plan from the start and wants me to feel comfortable, then he'll attack. What was keeping me even more calm were three things, how close Toby's pack was to the warehouse, the fact Brandon and the team would be watching our every move and finally, the fact I had Lukas with me. If I had to do this all by myself I don't think I would have agreed so quickly, but with h
I was soon walking back into the main room with the information that I knew, a lot had changed for me while I was in that room but nothing had in here. Toby and Julian were still having a screaming match in the middle of the room. Brandon was sat at his laptop but sends me a look when I walk in, while Lukas was sat with a blank face watching the two guys in front of him. My eyes go to Toby where I could just tell by his face, if he could he would have shifted by now. I sigh making my way over to the middle of the room, moving past Morgan to stand in front of Toby blocking his view of Julian. "I think we all need to calm down, how is any of this helping to catch Richard?" I ask placing my back against Toby while walking backwards, slowly he was walking back with me "while you two were comparing penis sizes, I was doing work with the help of Brandon" I say having to really push hard on Toby, after the penis comment he didn't want to move. "You don't need to compare, you already know
I walk back into the living area where Brandon was sat on the chest of drawers, I know he just heard the whole conversation I had with my mother as he opens his arms up. I walk over accepting the hug thanking him. "What you said back there was all true, she deserves to be put away for hiding Richard" he tells me giving me one last squeeze before we both pull away, I nod my head agreeing with him while the Alpha walks in the room with my mother, also closing the door. Before I had the time to walk over to see what he was doing, Julian runs out from wherever he was holding a piece of paper in his hands. Without speaking, I'm handed this mystery paper. It read. "Dearest Taylor, Once again, I know you're so close to finding everything out so you'll find this no problem. Now you know about my secret identity and your mother and me marrying, I know I'll soon be caught. You're so kind that I know you might allow me this, before I'm willing
"Get on the ground!" I shout as she takes even more slow steps out of the room, her eyes go to me where she immediately, starts to well up. "Taylor" she says starting to cry as she went, I've had enough of people crying when they see me so this wasn't bothering me anymore. "I said get on the ground" I repeat walking closer to her, she finally does listen and drops down to her knees full blown crying. Brandon runs in the room behind her to check if Richard is in there, but he soon runs back out shaking his head. As he was still behind my mum, he cuffs her hands behind her back before pushing her down to the floor. "He isn't in any of the other rooms either"Julian says from behind me, either he wasn't home and we just picked a bad time or he saw us and fled, I needed to know which one is was. "Where's Richard?" I ask pulling her to stand up, she was still in floods of tears shaking her head "I don't care how upset you are, we need to k
When I walk back into the main room, it was pure chaos. Brandon and Julian were running around working, Morgan was shouting down the phone at whoever knows who and the two guys looked as though they were gonna puke. I stand on one of the tables and throw a box of files on the floor, it landed which a thud which did make all eyes turn to look at me. "This room is starting to resemble the lunch hall and we all know how much I despise that place, I know we have so much work to do but let's not go crazy!" I exclaim as Morgan hangs up the phone, I guess that person is having a little break from all the screaming."We've been trying to track down Charles Peterson or even Venessa Peterson, but we can't find any record of them on any high tech computers" Morgan tells me still standing behind his desk, what I had to work out was how I'm going to be able to get off this table without injuring myself, I didn't think this plan through."That's because you're looking
"I will answer anything you ask me" he says as I open the file on Richard, this could be the closet we'll get to catching him, I know I keep saying that."Do you know anywhere we could find him, we know about his place in no territory but is there anywhere else?" I ask pulling the photos Brandon took of that building, before all the rouges turned up and caused trouble. "I rarely had any contact with Richard throughout the years, I always went through Denton to keep who I was hidden from Richard" he tells me which wasn't great, all the things he's gonna tell me might be what Denton has already told us since being here "but once you guys caught Denton, I knew I'd have to do my own research on Richard so I know he wouldn't turn against us" he says successfully peaking my interest, he might be useful after all. Brandon is amazing at his job and can find things that no one else can, but when it comes to criminals sometimes they're able to hide some things tha
