Cricket never recovered as quickly as the others. She finally stirred and looked up at Rylee’s stern face. “Hey, boss lady.”
Slade sighed. “About time.”
Lev narrowed his eyes. “Rachel was abducted.”
Cricket pushed away from Slade and sat. “Crap.”
Lev paced in frustration. His hackles rose and his wolf, or rather bear…no, lion begged for release. “This is Team Greywolf’s fault.”
Rylee glared at him, her heart steady, not fearing his capabilities. The one person besides Rachel who trusted him with their life. He calmed. “Sorry, ma’am.”
“No one is hack proof, not even the Pentagon.” Rylee muttered. “And no longer LIA.”
Slade placed a protective arm around Cricket’s shoulders and growled at Lev. “We’ll find her.”
Cricket squealed, “That’s it.”
Lev and the others asked all at once. “What?”
Cricket flipped her hair back. “Her jacket. If it’s not here, we have a chance.”
Lev cocked his head. “Why?”
“Because, comrade, I lined the inside of her coat hood with a GPS device, undetectable even from wolf noses.”
Cricket took out her phone. “We can track her with my phone.”
Rylee winked at her. “Good work.”
“Thanks, ma’am.” Cricket frowned. “But I should have done more to protect Rachel.”
Slade reassured his mate. “Even the most powerful alpha couldn’t have withstood the sonic weapon.”
Lev stiffen
ed. “I can withstand sonic weapons. She is mine. I should not have left her side. She would not have been taken.”
Rylee turned to Manny. “Are we back online?”
Manny sat with a laptop near the fireplace and gave her a thumbs up. “Yes, ma’am. Power and anti-LRAD on.”
“Good. Grab your laptop and let’s go to the situation room.” Rylee turned to Lev, Slade and Cricket. “You too.” Manny grabbed his laptop and followed them into the elevator.
Cricket wrinkled her brow as she turned on her mobile. “Unless, she throws her coat out of the helicopter, we should get a fix on her soon enough.”
Lev growled, “Real soon.”
“At least they won’t kill her,” said Cricket.
Rylee sighed. “They plan on sacrificing her during the lunar eclipse.”
Cricket shook her head. “What, why?”
Lev scowled. “Necromancy.”
They stepped out of the elevator and went inside where Manny’s crew manned their computer stations. Manny barked at his team. “Faster.”
Rylee turned. “Slade.”
