“She was in her human form,” Reggie said.

“That’s how we take hikes often. Are you a newbie, or what? One person needs to stay in their human form and pretend the wolf is their pet dog.” Fisher made up the story, figuring the newly turned wolf wouldn’t know the truth. Fisher wanted in the worst way to reach Kira and rescue her. “We met on a hike once and recognized we were both wolf shifters and really hit it off.” He hoped he was giving the other guys time to reach her while he kept Reggie occupied on the phone.

But then Reggie suddenly ended the call again.

“Crap,” Fisher said.

“Are you guys close to where Kira is yet?” Brock asked Tanner on speakerphone.

“We’re nearly there. We’re practically flying,” Tanner said.

Then Fisher got a call and he frowned. “The phone isn’t Kira’s. It’s an unknown name.”

“Hell, he might have realized we’re tracking her phone and we have sent others to go after him and Oscar,” Brock said.

Demetria called Everett and relayed what they were worried about.

Bridget called Leyton to let the CSF agents riding together know what was going on. “Leyton says they’re at the location. Has her phone moved?”

Fisher looked at the tracking. “No. When Reggie switched phones, I’m afraid he knew we were tracking Kira’s phone.” His heart sank. “Is her phone around anywhere there?”

“Call it,” Leyton said.

Fisher called her phone and Leyton answered it, “Crap, it’s here. We’ve got it.”

But that meant the kidnappers had moved her.

“Do you see anyone who looks like they could be watching you?” Fisher asked, his heart sinking.

“We’re checking now. The phone was lying in the grass at the edge of the parking lot at another mini mart/service station,” Leyton said.

Jack said, “Dan is sending a dozen men. We need to end this, incarcerate all of them, and get Kira back safely.”

“I’m getting hold of the group from our jaguar headquarters in Houston who are supposed to meet up with us and help take Royce back also,” Demetria said.

Then Fisher got another call. “It’s Reggie.”

Everyone got quiet.

“We need to make this exchange now,” Reggie said.

Fisher was surprised Reggie wasn’t just dictating the way this would all go any longer. He had to figure he was in way over his head while he was dealing with a bunch of shifters, if he realized several were working together to take him and Oscar down.

“So how do you want to work this?” Fisher knew they couldn’t let these three get away.

He could hear arguing in the background and he assumed Oscar and Reggie didn’t agree on what they were going to do. Finally, he heard Reggie say, “He’s caught. Okay? There’s nothing we can do about it now. And if we try to get him, we’re going to get caught too.”

Fisher agreed with that. Oscar was silent.

“You know, this could have happened to any one of us,” Reggie said in the background. “And if we keep on with this, it will.”

Oscar said, “He’s my cousin and I got him into this. All of this.”

Jack came over to speak to Fisher and pointed to his phone. Fisher put his on mute since the kidnappers weren’t talking to him at the moment, still arguing with each other in the background. “Dan has triangulated the call from Reggie to you and has their location. We’re going to grab them.”

That was really the best situation.

“I’m going.” Fisher was elated to hopefully free Kira.
