Chapter 0598
Chapter 0598 “Right there.” Oliver pointed to a rather large building that was shaped in a big circle. The dome had a clear glass top but it was how every single door was opened wide. The closer we got, the more I could see people huddled together in the center of the floor. Their warriors were standing guard but as promised, no weapons.
Only their soft cries and whimpers were being heard as we walked inside.
The men all straightened their backs but bowed in respect. “We mean no harm.” One man who was brave enough said to me.
Women were laying on top of their children as if to shield them from me.
“None of us wanted Ann to begin with and none of what he did was a reflection on how we felt.” Oliver whispered as I looked at Colt.
We shared a look before looking back at the people before us. “Jace?” I looked around for him.
“Yeah?” “We are going to look at Anthony’s office. Stay here and guard everyone.
Wait for my instruction.” “Okay.” He didn’t dare argue with me as I took Oliver and headed towards the packhouse.
“Time is running out if he took Kristen to a different location.” Colt muttered.
“She is still alive.” I said with full
confidence.
“Better be.” Colt’s wolf said.
“You don’t have any idea where they might be?” Jerking Oliver up the steps of the packhouse, he lead us towards the office.
“I don’t. I swear. I will pledge my allegiance to you right now if you want to prove my innocense. We didn’t know what he was planning.” Oliver showed up the door but it was locked. Handing Oliver to Colt, I took a few steps back before using all my strength to kick the door down. It was probably a little much but it was more to get some frustration out.
His office looked to be ransacked.
Papers were on the floor, folders were opened but my eyes landed on the
shredder that was full. “Did someone else look in here before we got here?” Colt asked.
“No. This was honestly how his office looked all the time.” Colt put Oliver against the wall. To Oliver’s credit, he stood straight with his hands folded in front of him. He didn’t move or even look at the door.
“This is just trash. Brochures on a beaches?” Colt tossed them to the side and kept going. “Here is folders on each of our packs.” That caught my attention. “Anything interesting?” I mean, we all had them so it wasn’t very unusual.
“Yeah. This is a had written schedule.” Colt handed me a piece of paper.
“That’s Vivian's handwriting.”
“Where is Vivian?” Colt looked at Oliver. } “Oh, um...” Oliver looked panic for a second. “I think she was with Anthony in that helicopter. I know for a fact she didn’t come back with the one. I even asked the pilot where they all were and he didn’t know.” “She had been keeping tabs on you guys since the beginning.” Colt pulled out more stuff. It was details about our basic lifestyles. How much she watched Adalynn, when we liked to shower or what foods we ate. There was a written diagram of the floor plan.
“She must have watched us program our fingerprints and put her own in there. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any possible way for her to get Adalynn out of the panic room.” I tried to
rationalize it.
“Kristen must not have known because if she thought Adalynn was safe in the room, she wouldn’t have opened it.” Colt kept going with my thoughts as if we were one.
“She would have let everyone die before that door got opened. Anthony must have known that and brought her out of hiding otherwise he would have kept her under wraps. Since she was his only back up plan, that probably forced him to move quicker.” Colt looked at me. “His plan was to always abandoned the pack. He knew we were stronger and would be able to take him down, even without Jace and Lars’s help. He never stood a chance.” “He had been planning this after he
found Ann in your cells.” It all fell into place and how we fed right into his plan.
“He could be anywhere.” Colt closed his eyes.
Looking at Oliver, he seemed to just be intently listening. “Where would Anthony go? Does he have a vacation property?” “He wouldn't go there.” Colt started pacing. “He wouldn't go anywhere that he has paper ties to. It would be somewhere that isn’t linked to him at all.” “Ann likes the sun. Maybe somewhere south?” Oliver whispered.
“The mountains provide more coverage.” Colt argued.
“Would it be remote or over populated
area?” I tried to think out loud so they could bounce ideas off me.
“A populated area would provide a certain level of coverage but it would also open you up to rogue attacks.
Since he isn’t an alpha anymore, he doesn’t have that extra strength that comes with it.” Colt kept going.
Oliver chimed in. “However, he is still a skilling fighter and probably believes he could defeat anyone. His ego is huge.” “Where would he take Kristen?” I asked, hoping Oliver would have a suggestion there.
“I don’t know. There are abandoned buildings everywhere in the mountains. He could have went to any one of them. He didn’t have a favorite house he used.”
“Do you have any su-" Colt’s phone started to ring. After looking at the caller I.D. His body froze.
After hitting send, he hit speaker phone. “Gunther?” “Fucking about time someone answered! I’ve been trying to get ahold of Alec for hours!” “In case you haven’t fucking heard, we are a little busy. What do you want?” Colt growled back.
“That’s why I am calling. I had a hunch and it paid off.” “If you don’t start talking, I am going to hang up.” Colt pinched the bridge of his nose.
There was a little shuffling on his side before anyone spoke again, “Colt?” The voice that came through the phone
sounded like Kristen if she smoked a pack of cigarettes.
