**John POV **
Bastet is missing captured, killed, or worse. It seems everyone is mad at me for some reason. I didn’t tell her to run after that woman. Nor did anyone tell her to engage with the wolves. How the fuck I was supposed to know what would happen? When Abrams came down the hill, he put the woman in the bus and took off to take them to safety. I waited for the last bus to be filled as I provide it with cover just in case any wolves come. When the bus was filled, I got on and left with them.
It wasn’t until we get back to the association that anyone realized that Bastet and McKee were missing. I tried radioing her but no response I even radioed McKee as well no response. We had men double check the buses just to make sure, but neither of them was there. Abrams and McKee uncle are barking orders trying to come up with a plan then we hear the radio go off.
“Hello…. hello”, someone said over the radio I hopped it was Bastet but there was static I couldn’t hear.
“Hello who is this I repeat who is this?”, I grab the radio from the operator.
“McKee, can you hear me?”, he asked. I gave the radio back to the operator.
“McKee, Alpha team and some members of the Beta team are here at base. Is Commander Bastet with you?”, the operator said, and my heart stopped beating hoping McKee will say yes.
“Negative I check the field she is not one of the dead I am not sure if she is captured.”, McKee said and everyone who was in hearing distance looked worried
“How…. how was this possible for her to be captured of left? WHERE THE FUCK WAS HER BACK UP”, Abrams yells.
“Have the extraction on standby I am going back for her”, McKee says.
“MCKEE, WAIT FOR BACK UP. I REPEAT WAIT FOR BACK UP!”, Abrams yell on the radio.
“NO, SIR SHE IS OUT THERE I HAVE TO FIND HER”, he sounds like he is on verge of tears.
“DO NOT DISOBEY MY ORDER IF SHOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU SHE WILL KILL ME SHE IS ALIVE. As her father I know she is”, Abrams said sound just as bad as McKee do, one his words left his mouth everyone looked at me.
“JOHN WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU?! OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SHOUD HAVE HAD HE BACK IS YOU, HER HUSBAND. I SWEAR TO GOD IF SHE IS HURT I WILL KILL YOU, MY SELF!”, he yells as he pins me to the wall and my uncle is the only one to try and get him off me.
“GET READY TO MOVE OUT WE ARE GOING BACK FOR MY WIFE”, I yelled to everyone in the room and they stared reloading their guns checking their tactical gear and heading out the cars.
Getting to the car my uncle was waiting for me he got in after I got in. The ride was quiet. I can tell my uncle had something on his mind. I check the review and I see Abrams as well as McKees dad following me with four cars following them. My uncle was rubbing his eyebrows he dies that where he is having conflicted thoughts.
“What’s on your mind uncle?”, I asked.
“Did you leave Bastet on purpose hoping she would get killed for you can take over the association?”, he asked.
“ARE YOU OUT OF YOU FUCKING MIND?”, I asked.”
“No, I am not, and you didn’t answer my question”, he said looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
“She is my wife”, I said gritting my teeth at him.
“Yes, and she is also your way to the top. You know your father married your mother thinking it would get him into the association”, he said causing me to pause and look at him.
“My father loved my mother”, I say trying not to flip out on him.
“He did and he also loved what marring her brought to him. So, answer my question BOY. Did you leave your WIFE to get killed?”, he asked again.
“No, I didn’t why would you think some shit like that”, I am getting pissed by the second if my uncle thinks I left Bastet on purpose I can image what every else is thinking.
“Because I know you left your mother, father, and siblings to die the night of the attack”, he said looking at me like he wanted to say that for a while, and I won’t deny it.
“I was a fucking kid I was scared. I never knew the supernatural word exists until that night. So yeah, I ran to the saferoom and didn’t open the door as I heard them get slaughtered”, I say as I start to tear up thinking about that night.
“I know why you did it. The crime scene told the story, a part of me is glad you did, or I would have a piece of my sister with me”, he said as he passed me a tissue.
“I always wonder why they attacked us in the first-place mother didn’t know about your involvement in the association and father thought it was a secret society liker the Free Masons”, I said.
My uncle goes to tell me that my father did know what the association was in fact he tried to get a vampire to invest in his company. His company was going to be a medical facility the store blood, organs, and other body items. However, in reality he was using the company as a front for a black-market medical facility that sell blood, organs, and other body items to the highest bidder which is illegal in the United States.
The vampire told him to not start the business because he would be stepping into the vampire territory, my father threatened the vampire and told him his brother-in-law is part of the hunter associations and if they don’t invest, he will send his brother-in-law after him. That sounds like something my father would do.
Anyway, the vampire pretended to be on board and had father under watch. He was able to get our address, dad schedule, my schedule, my sibling as well. He even had a blueprint of our house. My dad was so fucking stupid he got my family killed because of his greed. I was surprised when my uncle told me the mission where Bastet had to save me was actually the coven of that vampire. When Abrams and dad when back to inspect they found all the information on my family's murder.
We arrive at the house once we get inside, we see McKee cleaning his wound. Abrams order someone to stich him up. Michael set up the drome is it now dark I doubt we be able to see anything now. If she is alive, she might be locked into a room or in a dungeon. Out of nowhere McKee charge at me they break us up. And of course, he starts talking shit.
“GUYS I GOT HER”, Michael yell for the other room.
“Where is she?”, McKee asked.
There he pointed to the screen we see Bastet fast walking out of a house, she has no shoes on she is dress differently from the last time we saw her. We can tell she have her dagger in her hand. Michael lowers the drome to get her attention but then a man run out the door after her. Who the fuck is that? I think to myself. Whoever he is she elbowed him then turn around to kick him in the nuts. She tries to kick him again, but he catches my leg and pick me up bridal style before she could fall. She is kicking and screaming as he carries me back to the house.
“Okay she I alive thank God”, I said exhaling my breath.
“Yea, no thanks to you she is alive”, McKee said.
“ENOUGH both of you. She is alive, that is what matters now, we have to come up with a plan to get her back. First thing in the morning I want all the intel we can get”, Abrams said
“First thing in the morning she could be hurt by then or worse”, McKee said.
“He still have a weapo.n I know my daughter she can make a weapon out of anything we will get her back, even if we have to have a war with werewolves”, Abram said.
