Looking at the kidnapper in the other room, he decided to take his anger out on the real monsters who had a fetish for locking girls in cages. Why not he didnt have anything better to do.
Micah followed Titus into the observation room to find Tasuki leaning against a chair glaring at the restrained guard through the two way mirror. If looks could kill then the other man would now be a greasy spot in the chair.
Can we get an electrical current running through that chair in there and make him dance? Tasuki asked only half joking.
Tempting, but no, Titus responded. Phillips reason for coming over here did bring up a genuine concern though.
Tasuki nodded, You need to get some clothes to put in there with her just in case she does wake up and decides to shift back. He looked over at the two shifters when neither of them moved. Maybe the female officer that was in on the raid has a change of clothes in her locker. Want me to go check?
No, shes going to have her hands full getting the other girls checked out by a doctor, Micah informed him then rubbed his chin when a solution to both of his problems dawned on him. But Ive got an idea.
Thats a first, Titus said then smirked when Micah elbowed him.
Ha, ha, Micah growled. As I was saying let me call Alicia and have her bring over some clothes.
Whos Alicia? Tasuki asked.
Micahs kid sister, Titus informed him. Hes been a little moody since she got herself mated to a Sun God recently.
A Sun God? Tasuki asked with a confused expression. That was a new one on him, though he didnt know why he bothered being surprised. Youd think hed be immune by now.
Stop letting everyone know what I had for breakfast, Micah grumbled and took out his cell phone. As he dialed the number he sighed knowing that Titus was right. Hed definitely been in a funk lately because he missed his sister and Damon was being an ass keeping her hidden for days at a time. This just so happened to be a great excuse to get to see her and find out if she was still happy with Mr. Possessive.
Youd have Alicia come clear across town just to bring us a set of clothes? Titus cocked an eyebrow. Desperate much?
What the hell is a Sun God? Tasuki really wanted to know so he could add it to his growing list of things to put on his mental Wall of Weird.
Micah had been about to hit send on his phone when Titus had questioned his motives. Thinking quickly, he immediately came up with an even better excuse.
Actually, I think we can kill two birds with one stone, Micah smirked. Alicia told me that Damon has been teaching her how to put people under her thrall.
He pointed to the man on the other side of the mirror. We could probably beat the hell out of that worthless lamebrain and not get as much out of him as Alicia could with a couple simple questions. Plus, hed have to tell her the truth where with us we have no way of knowing if hes feeding us a line of bull to keep his ass out of hot water with Lucca.
Its okay, Tasuki sighed accepting the fact that he was being completely ignored. Im sure that Ill figure it out eventually.
Chapter 3
Alicia had just finished making herself a cup of coffee when her cell phone started ringing. Rushing toward her purse, she grabbed the device taking a quick glance at the caller ID. She put it to her ear with a bright smile.
Hey Micah, whats up?
Do you have some time to spare for your big brother? Micah asked turning his back on the other two men in the room so they couldnt see the relieved expression on his face. Hed half expected Damon to answer her phone.
Alicia shrugged, Yeah, I guess so. Damon went out with Michael and Kane. He probably wont be back for a while yet.
Good, because I really need a favor, Micah began. Weve got a she-wolf in one of the holding cells here that we just rescued from a raid on the underground slave trading. She hasnt shifted back yet, but when she does shes going to need a change of clothing. Do you think you can bring something down to the station for her?
Alicia looked over at her huge closet full of clothes before nodding, Yeah, I think I can dig up something. When do you want me there?
As soon as you can get ready, Micah answered. We dont know when shell wake up from the tranquilizer.
Ill be there, Alicia said. Anything else you need?
Im so glad you asked that, Micah said letting Alicia hear the smile in his voice. I need you to put another wolf under your thrall and get him to answer a few questions for us. Do you think you can do it?
Yes, Alicia answered a little too quickly. Give me some time to get dressed and grab a few things for the poor girl and Ill be down.
She hung up the phone and a wide grin spread across her face as she rushed around getting dressed. It was nice to have something to do while Damon was away. At least now she felt useful and, with any luck, she might be able to prove to Damon that she really could do things on her own.
Throwing on her favorite pair of jeans and one of Damons black button-up shirts, she got out a black leather duffle bag and removed two set of clothes from the closet. One set in case she liked soft frilly things and another set that would make her feel tough and in control. Why not give the girl a choice between dressy or badass. Besides, Damon had stocked over half of her closet with bad girl outfits so she would match the bad boy act he had going on.
Once the clothes were packed, she went through some of the new undergarments she hadnt worn yet and something for the girl to sleep in before putting them in the bag as well. She figured after being held prisoner, any girl would appreciate the little things like clean underwear, toothbrush, and maybe a little makeup.
As an afterthought, she took one last look around the room to make sure she hadnt missed anything. Spotting her collection of hair things, she grabbed up a comb and brush along with a few hair ties so the girl could put her hair up if she wanted to.
Alicia smiled as she put the strap of the bag over her shoulder and headed toward the bedroom door. It felt good to know that she was going to be seeing Micah again even though it had only been a few days. She missed him.
The fact that hed called for her help specifically was exciting enough. Putting someone under her thrall for legit reasons, and the fact that her target was a werewolf and not just some human would mean a challenge for her.
Humans were far easier to place under a thrall because they had no real immunity to it unless the human was psychic or wore a charm like her necklace. Damon had told her that shifters were harder to penetrate because all of their five senses were higher. Unfortunately, she hadnt had much of an opportunity to even test it out on humans with Damon barely letting her out of the bedroom.
Alicia squared her shoulders. This was a prime opportunity for her to get some real practice in without the sexual distractions. Just as she walked out of her and Damon's bedroom, Kane stormed in the front door muttering under his breath.
Is something wrong? Alicia asked.
Kane didnt appear to hear her and continued muttering about a woman named Olivia. Suddenly he froze and cursed loudly.
Damn it! Kane shouted. Not Olivia Victoria.
