The Hybrid

Chapter 28

Later that day my dad called meeting. Me and Sam were already in my dad's office when Rick and Will entered. My dad and I informed them of the phone call and my worries over Alex being captured by Henry.

"Ok, so what's the plan," asked Will standing by the wall leaning against it.

"To get them out...unnoticed" answered my father, concern flashed in his grey orbs as they flicked towards me.

"I have no idea where he keeps them," I said reluctantly, standing by the massive desk. I doubted he kept them at his mansion. He must have a place where he kept his prisoners.

"I think I know" my dad's voice rang in my ears, my eyes shot to him. I gave him a questioning look when his greys met my flaming orange.

He shifted on his comfy looking chair "there is a place just outside of the city by the docks where he keeps his prisoners. He probably keeps them there"

I furrowed my eyebrows, my eyes narrowed at him "how do know that"

He let out a sigh "When I was looking for you, I got a word of that place and went there to see if he managed to get you" his eyes never left mine and I didn't miss the sorrow that flashed in his depths. I just averted my gaze. All this time he looked for me couldn't have been easy for him. He must have suffered the same way as me.

"Ok, that's sorted" I heard Wills voice.

I shook my head "no, the plan is not sorted" I stated glaring at Will. "It's not guaranteed that Henry has Alex. Liam said he thinks Henry took him because he couldn't find him anywhere but that doesn't mean Henry have him. Maybe...maybe he just ran." I explained and hoped it was the case. However, I knew Henry had Markus and he needed to be rescued if it wasn't too late. "I need to go back to the safe house" I added as my eyes flicked over everyone's face.

My father looked uneasy with the whole idea of me going to New York and facing Henry. But that wouldn't stop me, I had to go and find out if he got Alex or not. However, I just couldn't sit and hope for the best.

Both Sam and Will looked determined and I was glad they both insisted on coming with me. I knew Will was a good warrior from our sparring sessions. I never saw Sam fight but from Will, I heard he was very strong. Plus he was an Alpha, strength comes with it.

"Ok, so we go to New York and go to the safe house and then we'll see from there?" Will asked a bit confused, his eyebrows were high on his forehead.

I nodded "we leave in two days"

After the meeting, I rang Liam and told him about our plan. He and Olivia insisted on helping and they would meet us at the safe house. I felt a slight joy of the fact that I would get to see her but was a bit worried about her leaving the safety of the Base. I felt incredibly protective of her, I knew she was well trained but at the end of the day she was human, they are fragile.

As I sat in the back of the SUV my eyes were fixated on the nature that moved in the window as we sped through the highway. Those two days were the longest days of my life. I felt extremely nervous and worried about what I would find in the apartment or worse, what I wouldn't find. That sinking feeling about Alex being taken by Henry tormented me and how it was even worse since Liam's word rang in my ears. There was a tiny hope in the back of my head that Liam was wrong. That rather than him being taken, he took off after I left him.

The entire ride to New York was quiet as everyone was drowned in their thoughts. I caught Sam gazing at me a few times through the rear mirror and it brought memories of the night in the club with Alex and Marcus. I felt slight heat rushing to my cheeks as faint rosy colour flushed my face at the thought of Alex's possessiveness when the guy tried to hit on me. As I tore away my gaze from the rear mirror my eyes glanced out the window next to me and a shy smile appeared on my face.
