“Of course I can. I’m doing it right now.”
Caleb raced into the room, phone in hand. “What the fuck? She’s missing? How?”
“No time. Wolfe is tracking her. Let’s go.”
They swiftly moved towards the stairs
“If you knew she’d run, why didn’t you tell us?” Aleki asked as they took the stairs down.
“I wanted to see what she’d do. Don’t worry, she’s perfectly safe. I have eyes on her,” Wolfe told them as they reached the lobby.
“What? Who?” Caleb asked.
“Micah is following her.”
“Fuck, why didn’t you tell us?” Aleki snapped.
“You should trust me to take care of her,” Wolfe stated.
Aleki gaped at him.
Caleb cleared his throat. “Wolfe, you haven’t always had the best track record for caring for others.”
“I know that she’s important to you both. Wait,” Wolfe said as they headed towards the door.
“What?” Aleki snapped.
“Are you sure you both want to get her back?” Wolfe asked them.
“Of course we do,” Caleb said.
“Why?” Wolfe asked. “We still can’t trust her. She left again and it’s unacceptable.”
“We have to find her, Wolfe,” Aleki told him.
Aleki didn’t want to feel anything for her. Didn’t want to be hurt by her again. But he also couldn’t leave her out there, alone and in pain.
“Fine,” Wolfe replied. “But I just hope the two of you know what you’re doing.”
Nope. He had no fucking clue.

They stood in the park, watching her. Wolfe moved his gaze around their surroundings, keeping watch for any danger.
“Poor thing looks freaking miserable and it’s not exactly safe out here,” Aleki said.
Wolfe bristled with indignation. “She was never at risk.”
“Where is Micah?” Aleki asked, glancing around.
“Hidden, so she didn’t see him.”
“He always was a sneaky bastard,” Caleb commented.
“He should be. He was taught by the best,” Wolfe replied.
“You need to stop being so modest, man,” Aleki drawled.
