Will went into the kitchen to search for the ice cream.
Remy came striding over to me and pulled me into his arms. He carried me over to the table and sat down, keeping me in his lap. “Noah’s not answering the phone,” he growled lowly. “So, you’re not doing anything else for the rest of the night. If you want anything or need anything tell us.”
“Remy,” I said gently. “I’m not an invalid,” I insisted.
He didn’t say anything merely pulled me closer.
“Is it story time yet?” Jemmy asked as she sat down. Everyone else, except for Jax, sat down too.
We all looked at Will expectantly since he was the patriarch of the family.
“Well, I got a phone call tonight stating that Horatio was moving kids and Mo seemed to think there was at least one or two children of interest in the group. One of them had to be Blake’s younger brother,” Will explained.
“I told you he had to be Blake’s brother,” Rachel playfully hit Jemmy.
“But I thought your mother was dead…and that makes three of you,” Jemmy said. “What is up with these gifted people giving birth to more than two?” she frowned as she looked at Will.
Will shrugged, his expression perplexed as well. “Until I met Rachel, I never personally met any gifted with the capabilities of having more than two children.”
“There’s five of us, that I know of.” I stated quietly.
I knew I shocked Drake, Will, Jemmy, Rachel, and Remy.
“Alex was able to reach out to my…brother, Micah. He’s living on the streets and he noticed today he was being followed,” I added.
Will rubbed a weary hand over his face. “And no one went with Troy?”
“He said he knew a few guys in the neighborhood and he was taking them,” Jace reassured his father.
“Micah can…teleport,” I explained further.
“All from your mother?” Jemmy asked in wonder.
I nodded. “That I know of. Alex seemed really confident in it and Micah seemed to recognize me immediately.”
“You saw him, and he saw you?” Will clarified with a look of disbelief.
“Yes,” I nodded. “Alex touched my hand and he ‘took’ me too him and were able to talk to each other too. That’s how I saw Mr. Young and those two guys in the trailer. Alex reached out to me and showed me them.”
“Mr. Young was there?” Jemmy gasped. “I knew he was a rat, just like his daughters. Did you pick up his whole family?”
“His connections are in questioning right now,” Will confirmed. He leaned back and looked at me. “Horatio isn’t even capable of doing that. He can go into a person’s mind, but he can’t have people see what he sees or take people to see and talk to other people.”
“Maybe it’s because they are related,” Drake said tentatively.
“That can be it.” Will slowly nodded in consideration. “Years ago, Horatio took an interest in Blake’s parentage, but I never knew why or to what ext
ent, maybe he knew her mother was capable of producing powerful offspring.”
Jax came back downstairs carrying a very sleepy, very clean Alex, but he perked up when he saw the junk food and me. “He’s safe,” Alex cried happily. “He’s with the man in the red hat.”
Seconds later our phones went off and we all opened our phones to see a picture of Micah and Troy sitting side by side in Troy’s helicopter. They both had wide grins on their faces.
We spent the rest of the time filling Drake, Jemmy, and Rachel in on our night. We tried to figure out what our next steps should be, but we knew it was all a waiting game.
I had to wait for Alex to locate my other brother. Hopefully, before Horatio found him. We had to wait for Troy’s guys to figure out what doctor may be helping Horatio with these ‘mentally’ ill children. We were planning to locate Alex’s father and have him placed in Will’s custody. I was okay with this decision.
We had to wait for the interrogators to get done with the Young family to find out how deep the betrayal went in Will’s community. Rachel seemed hell bent on interrogating Tamara, believing she knew more. Will hadn’t ordered any of the girls to be picked up, but after Rachel argued her culpability, he decided to allow Rachel to question her in the morning.
