The Hunter's War

Chapter 3

The line cut dead and I let out a small sigh. I fell back into my chair and let my head fall into my hands. A soft knock was heard on the other side of my door as I got up and threw open the door.

"What?" I snapped, only to see that it was Anthony standing there looking slightly taken aback.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to bring you some food." he said quietly and my face fell slightly.

"Here, come in. I'm sorry I snapped, it's just...nerves." I reached out and held the side of his face with my hand.

"You tried calling Logan didn't you?" a small tear escaped his eye and traveled down towards my hand. I reached my thumb out and stopped it from travelling farther.

"Where's that food you brought for me?" I asked, trying to distract him. He looked shocked and confused for a couple seconds.

"Oh, yeah!" he turned back around to grab a plate with some food on it, walking into my office, and setting it on top of my desk. I followed him slowly taking in his presence. He turned around slowly, looking up at me from behind his hair. It had gotten longer and his now present bangs hung over his eyes, making him look small and innocent. Grabbing him by the waist I pulled him closer to me.

"How have you been?" I asked quietly, placing one of my hands under his jaw. He looked at me sweetly as I brushed his hair away from his face. I cupped his face with my hands as I leaned closer to him, resting my forehead on his.

"I love you." I kissed him slowly, taking in every bit of him as he leaned in closer.

"I've missed you," he gave me a quick kiss.

"So fucking much." and another. He put his hands on my chest and pushed up, standing up by my side again.

"Now, there is a big group of wolves out there waiting to hear what our next move is. So get your ass ready." he gave me one last kiss, before slapping me on the ass and giving me a cute smile. He then reached over, grabbed the plate of food he got me and started to walk out of my office.

"Um, wasn't that my food." I questioned him, still sitting on my desk.

"Well, I don't want anything distracting you from work." he gave me a quick wink and with that he left my office. As the door shut behind him I let a small sigh and went to sit behind my desk. That kid was something, always making my head whirl and my stomach do flips.

"What's happening to you Stahr?" I said quietly, turning my attention to the files on my desk. I had punched a few numbers on the phone and it rang throughout the small room. The ringing was broke by someone picking up the other line.

"Uh, hello Mr. Stahr, sir." a voice rang out.

"Yes, hello Stanley. What's the news?" I rested my feet upon the desk top, leaning back slightly as I heard the young man going through some papers.

"So, ummm...do you have those files that were sent to you out?"

"Yes, Stanley I do." I brought my feet down and turned my now curious attention to the files that were placed in front of me.

"We got the information that you were looking for and the names of each person. If you look through the top one you will see the one girl you had told me before." I flipped through the file, looking at all the information they got for me.

"Her name was Scarlet Rosemary. She was 16 years, born in Holmes Chapel, England, at 3:05am, January 2nd, 1997. Her father left her and her mother when she was just a baby. Her mother got into heavy drinking afterwards and..."

"Stanley, just give me the important overview." I interrupted, god that kid could talk.

"Oh okay, sorry sir. Um, so a couple years ago she ran away from home after she called the cops on one of her mother's boyfriend, who has had many charges against him..."
