**McKee POV: **
For months since I found out Bas is alive, I have been tailing John to make sure he doesn’t find out that he did not kill her. I put a tracker on his car and every Friday he does to this particular house and then leaves on Sunday night. The only time he leaves before Sunday night is when we have a meeting with Abrams. Tonight is the night when I find out whose house this is. I park two blocks away and walk to the house. Peeking through the back door I can't believe what is seen. John is in the kitchen kissing Terry, well damn he moved fast. I wonder how long this has been going on?
They had to start this relationship after he shot Bastet. Terry didn’t meet him until the night at the karaoke bar. The same night when she threw herself at me. This can be good as long as he is fucking Terry, he won't be looking for Bastet. He has been playing the concerned husband all this time he has been fucking his wife's best friend. I walk back to my car and was shocked to see Abrams sitting on it.
“Sir, what are you doing here?”, I asked nervous.
“McKee I should be asking you what are you doing here following John”, he said while crossing his arms over his chest.
“How did you know I was here?”, I asked.
“McKee I am commander and chief you think I don’t know what my men are up to. Especially when I get a bill of five thousand dollars for a car tracker smaller than a battery. I hope to God, you don't lose it”, he said laughing.
“I just had my suspicions about something”, I said shrugging.
“Yeah, so do I. How about we go to my house and talk about it”, he said then got into his car.
I followed him to his house. I would have never thought he look at all the bills himself. Especially since he has been busy with Bastet's alleged death. I can't tell him that she is alive, if I do, he will go and get her. We pull up to his house together we don’t say a word to each other. Instead, we quietly walk into his office, he pours us a drink.
“So, care to tell me why you have been tailing John", he says as he sits down in his chair.
“Only if you care to tell me why it matters”, I said.
“Jason, I know you love my daughter so you will be honest with me and I with you”, damn he called me Jason he pulling out all the stops.
“Okay, something in John's story about what happened on the mission. There is no way I would have left there alive after seeing her die. I would have died avenging her, with my gun or on it”, I said.
“I went back to the area there were two pools of blood. One was Bastet the other non-human”, he said stopping to take a sip.
“But sir that would be normal if we go by what John said. The Alpha killed Bastet then John shot him”, I said.
“The pools of blood were three feet from each other. Meaning there is no way John lied when he said he ran up to the Alpha shooting him”, Abrams said a part of me wants to tell him she is alive. He gives me a fold and I read it was his personal investigation.
“According to this, the Alpha would have to run towards John attacking him. And John shooting him once he was close enough”, I said knowing how it went down Abrams the report is on point.
“Meaning that son of a bitch watched my daughter die before he even acted. Which means he could have saved her if she is dead”, he said.
“What are you going to do with this info, Sir", I asked worried he might mess up Bastet's plan.
“We are going to invade the pack. I will ask a question if Bastet is dead, I will put John on trial for treason”, he said finishing up his drink.
“Honestly Sir I thought his statement was pure bull shit. He was attacked but why didn’t the wolf finish the job? Why attack him and let him roll down the hill? Something must have stopped him from finishing the attack”, I said.
“Bastet, maybe she attacked the wolf while he was attacking John”, I said trying to make him see some sense of this to him without telling him the truth. When he finds out he will have my ass.
“So, tell me Jason what made you start tailing John?', he asked again.
“I think he left her to die. I thought watching would give me proof of that”, I said halfway telling him the truth.
“And what did you find out about watching him?', he asked.
“I found out that two months after the mission every weekend Friday to Sunday night he started going to the house you saw me at. I wanted to know which house it is and now I know”, I said.
“Well don’t keep me waiting boy tell me whose house is it?”, he asked pouring another drink.
“I looked through the back window and saw him kissing Terry”, I said with a shrug finishing off my drink.
“As in Bastet's best friend Terry, that whore”, he said not even shocked.
“Sir, I was wondering if the information in the file will affect your relationship with John's uncle”, I said I don’t want any issues.
“I am sure John's uncle is not aware of anything. If he did then, he will be trailed for treason as well”, Abrams said without a care.
He gave me the go-ahead to keep tailing John and to give him a weekly report. I leave and go to the home I build for Bas. This home is the last place we made love and I can't wait for her to come home so we can live happily ever after. I want to kill that bastard myself but that honor will be given to Bastet.
