“Hold it. You stole it from one of the other guys. We are just here to get you.” Fiona gave me a super innocent look.
“Thanks for getting me,” I replied.
“I mean, if you can’t save your alpha what sort of omega are you?” Fiona grinned.
Would the police believe that? But we were outside the city. County sheriffs were built different out here.
Also, I’m not sure people like Clegg would admit to being bested by a little omega. Though I’d shot someone in the leg.
Still, itwasself-defense.
“We’re fine. Headed towards you,” Saoirse said into her earpiece. I couldn’t hear the reply.
“Stop right there,” a voice said. “County Sheriff. Drop the gun.”
“Yes, sir. I took this off one of Clegg’s men back there. I’m Hale Thorne and I was the one who called about being kidnapped by Clegg.” I set the gun on the ground and put my hands in the air.
He looked me up and down, a flashlight in my eyes. “You don’t look kidnapped now.”
“They rescued me. When I didn’t come home, my pack came looking,” I replied honestly.
“A little reckless of you ladies, isn’t it? Why didn’t you call the police?” He gave them a patronizing look, ignoring Dusty completely.
Fiona gave him a patronizing look back. “Who says they weren’t called?”
They were?
“The local police were called when his truck was found abandoned. Video footage was submitted, they said it wasn’t proof. Someone else also called to report suspicious activity,” Dusty added, a hint of alpha fierceness in his voice. “No one did anything. So, we came. Wouldn’t you do the same for your pack?”
The officer nodded. “We did find a truck and two people a littlebit from here.”
Two people?
“That’s his truck, his mate, and his roommate,” Fiona replied, looking at the flames. “Shouldn't we move?”
I could hear more sirens. Hopefully, no one was hurt in the explosion.
We were brought to a couple of police cars. Carlos stood there with Big Tad who was dressed in camo.
“Hale, you’re okay.” Carlos ran to me and hugged me tightly.
“I’m here. I’m okay.” I hugged him tight. “You came for me.”
“Of course we did.” He hugged me tighter, relief coming through the bond.
“Is Mercy here?” I looked around. I could see her coming with them.
“We felt like we could handle it without her having to miss her game, but she did help considerably,” Fiona explained. “My turn.” She hugged me tight. “We rescued you.”
“That’s my mate,” I said proudly. “And my pack.”
“You’d do the same for us, man.” Dusty hugged me. Saoirse nodded.
I looked at Big Tad and nodded. “Thank you.”
“Of course.” He nodded back. “I worried when you never came back for your dog. Then Candy mentioned that your truck was just sitting at the Titty Tank, which made me worry more, especially with Clegg hassling you.”
“That’s exactly what happened. Clegg was upset I wouldn’t sell him the formula. So, he kidnapped me,” I explained. “He was the one who broke into our house and the lab.
