Wolves of Roma

Prince of Roma- Chapter 32

Chapter 32
----------------

Evy sat in the police station petrified.

Alex had been handcuffed and taken down with her in tow to the police station and since then she had been sitting on a bench in the waiting area and Alex confined to a room, probably waiting for someone to process him. She had been free to go and she had given the police her statement of what transpired but Alex had not yet been released.

Her attacker and his friends were also locked up in some room, she had seen them being led in.

All her high had instantaneously vanished and now a headache was threatening to blow her head apart with the feeling of absolute dread...dread to face Max.

She could only imagine how he would react, she had been having such a good day...and now it was going to be the worst day of her life...she could feel it. This was going to be terrible and the worst part was she had nobody to blame but herself.

Wheels were running in her head to figure out a way out. Alex was confined somewhere in this maize of a police station and her trying to talk to anyone had not yielded goodness.

It was time to take the plunge. She pulled out her cellphone with shaking hands and opened the address book and dialed the number and prayed to god he picked up.

Max, Adrian & Sebastian were seated in Sebastian's office, looking at plans for Colorado, which would serve as their base of operations for their targeted attack to get Charles.

"Where are we on the stealth team that we want to deploy in Montana?" Max asked.

Roma had signed off on a plan to send in a team of trackers in to Montana to try and locate Charles, it would be a risky operation as if caught it might lead to an all-out war but they were not making any progress, the security company they hired had come up with nothing and anyone who got close to the Montana wolves location encountered a wild animal attack.

"The team landed in Colorado" Sebastian said "They will need a week's time to get the lay of the land and acquire necessary supplies."

"Do we know where we want to look?" Max asked. You could not comb an entire state with ten folks, you need to look precisely.

"Patrick Lockbourne's pack" Sebastian stated and further added "If Gordon Lockbourne would trust anyone it would be his first cousin and biggest supporter, so he would want to hide his secret safe in Patrick Lockbourne's territory" He would not trust anyone else.

"How do we plan to infiltrate?" Max asked.

"The borders will be well protected by road or through wilderness, that is how they will expect us, so we fly our people in on commercial airlines in to different cities and then converge on their area of search"

Max nodded satisfied and asked "And extraction?" He wanted to make sure they had a way to get their men out if need be.

"We are having safe houses created in all major cities of Montana, the security team we engaged will arrange transport and drivers on standby. All our men have to do is reach a pre-arranged location and with a phone call they will be moved to a city and from there we can have a chopper pick them up." Sebastian explained. Safest way for them to travel would be air.

"Ok" Max said satisfied with the plan, they were taking all needed precautions.

"How about we..." Adrian started but was interrupted by Sebastian's phone ringing.

The phone had been lying carelessly on the table while they sat around discussing. Everyone's attention went to the phone by default.

Sebastian looked at it surprised looking at the name on the display.
