The Stray Omega

12-Hour Drive

"How is he coping with his leg?" 

"It is rough for him but he seems to be getting used to it. He's been too lazy to get filed for a prosthetic." 

Nicole laughed lightly and grabbed Mitch's hand. "I miss you a lot, Mitchie. I'm glad you have a happy home." 

Mitch gasped and reached behind him for his parcel, bringing it to his lap and finding his phone. He unlocked it and went to his Snapchat to hold it out to Nicole. "Put in your Snapchat so we can still talk when you go home." 

Nicole took Mitch's phone and typed in her username, the account syncing and her phone vibrating in her back pocket automatically. She handed Mitch his phone and opened hers, friending Mitch back and getting off the bed. 

"Well, it was nice hanging out, Mitchie. I have to get home and work." Nicole said, holding out her arms.  Mitch climbed off the bed and hugged Nicole tightly before walking out of the room and to the front door. 

"How are you getting home?" 

"Uber. My Lead Alpha trusts me enough to ride by myself." Nicole chuckled. "It'll be here soon." 

Mitch and Nicole talked again before the Uber honked outside, Mitch watching Nicole leave then shut and locked the door. He turned around and jumped when he saw Scott behind him, shifting on his crutches. He walked forward and hugged Scott before following him to the couch. 

"How are you feeling?" Scott asked, wrapping his arms around Mitch's body and holding him close. 

"A little sad... It was nice to see Nicole after so long but I miss everyone else from the Shelter. It's scary not knowing where they all are and how they're doing." 

"I understand, love." Scott pulled Mitch close and kissed him on the cheek. Mitch smiled and cuddled close to him, enjoying his warmth.

Nicole ran her hands over the shaved side of her head and groaned lightly before tapping at her laptop. She then gasped and jumped off her bed and stuffed her laptop into her bag then slug it over her shoulder. She phoned a Uber as quick as she could then ran to the front door.

Just as she was about to step outside, she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around.

"Oh, hi Alpha Austin."

"Where are you going Nicole?" Austin asked, crossing his tatted arms.

"I found out where the car is! I have to get back to the police station. " She explained quickly.

"Hey, be careful, you hear?" Austin said, holding onto Nicole's shoulder before she left.

"I know, Alpha. I'll be back before midnight, promise." Nicole hugged Austin before leaving as the Uber pulled up and honked.

"Mitch! Scott hobbled into Mitch's room loudly, the brunette jolting out of his sleep in a hot second. He squinted when his lights turned on and whined. "Wake up!"

"I'm already awake you meanie... " Mitch yawned.

"They found out where the car is and they offered for us to come with them!" Scott said, going to the bed and grabbing Mitch's arm to pull him to his feet.

The brunette was even more awake when he heard his Alpha's words and ran around him to pull pants on and a shirt and slipped on some house slippers. Scott being in the same attire, gave Mitch a quick kiss before following him downstairs, though he obviously took a lot longer.

The two got down into the lobby in just three minutes and saw the cop car already waiting outside the apartment building. The two got in and were driven to the police station where they were then escorted inside to the forensic room where Nicole was talking to several officers.

"Nicole, is it true? Did you find the pups?" Mitch asked, walking forward and politely excusing himself to stand in front of the Alpha officers.

"Yes. It's very far from here though, it's almost an 12 hour drive." Nicole said.

"We're willing to take it." Scott said. "We need to get our babies back."

"I'll contact the surrounding police forces in that area and see if they're willing to help." An officer said, rushing out of the room.

"Nicole, when can we leave?" Mitch asked, worry in his eyes.

"We're not sure yet but the best bet, sometime in the morning."

"The morning? Nicole, we can't wait any longer. We have to go now and get my pups back." Scott growled, making Nicole take a small step back.

"Sir, please calm down, we have a rule here, no threatening any Omegas in this building." An officer said, grasping the back of Scott's arm.

Scott's red eyes glanced at Mitch then relaxed. He calmed down, letting the other officers talk it out as he did his best to glance at the computer screen, marking where the car was located at.

"Let's go." Scott said, ushering Mitch out of the room. "Call Kevin, tell him to come pick us up and bring his car with the others."
