Chapter 65

Danny’s POV
“Have either of you seen Tim?” Claudia calls out, coming to the front of the castle where Jason, Oliver and I were chatting. “Yeah; him, Todd and Joanna started walking that way, 5 minutes ago” Jason answers, pointing towards the territory borders.
“You fucking idiot; Tim moved his car there a few days ago” Claudia screams. “Oh shit. I’ll get them” Jason yells, taking off. “Snow Blossom; stay here” I order her, as I shift into Jesse and follow behind Jason, with Oliver and Claudia watching us.
**“Jason’s catching up to Todd”** Jesse tells me. “Boo” Jason yells, grabbing hold of him. “Where’s Tim?” he snarls as I hear a shot fired from a gun. **“First part down”** I say to Jesse as he lets off a howl; running over to the car as Jason falls onto the ground.
Todd scrambles to get himself into the car and Jesse leaps as another shot is heard; **“Fuck; that hurt more than I thought it would”** Jesse says as he lets out a growl and falls down next to Jason. “Don’t just stand there, Todd. Get them into the car before the others come” Tim screams at him. I hear Claudia screaming as she is making her way to where we are. “Leave them” Todd screams. “We can’t; we need them as bargaining chips. Do you want Michael to kill you, like he did with James?” Tim yells as the pair lift Jesse up and put him in the back of the car.
“Fuck Jesse; go on a diet” Tim whispers. “Get Jason in the car” Tim orders as they pick him up and throw him next to Jesse. “Let’s get out of here” Todd screams as Joanna revs the engine and we scream out of territory. *“Matthew is at the gate of the Sapphire Moon territory and it looks as though someone is on the phone at the Silver Pride borders”* Tim mind links us. “Nice to see we had an audience” Jason answers. **“He could have cleaned the car out a bit”** Jesse says and I start to chuckle.
Joanna turns a corner and speeds down the road; “We’re on the highway, you can stop pretending you’re drugged” Joanna calls out as Jason and Jesse sit up. “I will pull over at the next stopping bay for you to shift back Jesse” she adds. “Hope it’s not too far away; it’s cramped with a wolf next to me” Jason chuckles, shifting in his seat a bit. “If we get pulled over by a cop; your script is; Bow Wow” Todd snickers as Jesse snarls at him; **“I’ll Bow Wow his ass if he doesn’t shut up.”**
“Here we go” Joanna says, pulling over into the stopping bay. “We have a tailer; I’ve got this” Tim says as the other car parks a few yards behind us. Tim conjures a silver collar and lead putting it around Jesse’s neck and pulling him out of the vehicle. **“Why does it have to be silver”** Jesse complains. **“He has to make it look authentic.”**
**“Can you smell that?”** Jesse asks me. *“Tim; that man?” “Yeah; he’s a hybrid. Wolf and Cat.”*
“Can I help you with something?” Tim calls out to the man, who is walking from the car behind, to stand near us. “I need to take…” “Look man; I was just giving my dog a toilet break” Tim interrupts him, holding Jesse as he crops his leg and pisses over the man’s leg.
“What the fuck” the man yells, as Tim stifles his laughter. “Bad doggy” Tim screams, tapping Jesse on the nose. “Sorry man” Tim says, looking apologetic. The guy lets off a growl; “We should go, sorry again” Tim says as they bundle into the backseat of the car and we take off again. “I’ll get the collar off you” Tim says, as it disappears.
*“Is he still following?”* I mind link Joanna, Tim and Jason. *“Yes, I don’t think we can lose him”* Joanna replies. I drop Joanna from the mind link, so she can concentrate on driving. *“Jason this is going to get a bit uncomfortable” “No; Don’t shift in the car. I’ll shoot out his tyre”* Tim yells. *“Then he will know it was staged”* I answer him. “Todd, remember that time you had me stop Ana from following you?” Tim asks him.
“Yeah; but where are we going to get some carpenter nails to do it?” Todd replies as Jesse growls again. “Dad made me pack for every scenario; look in the glove compartment for me?” Tim says as Todd gets the nails out of the compartment. “He is a few car lengths back. A couple of well-placed nails should do the trick. He is definitely having a bad day” he adds, pissing himself laughing. *“How are we supposed to place nails on the ground?”* I mind link Tim.
“Watch and learn” Tim smiles as he picks up an old soda cup.
“There’s one just up ahead” Joanna calls out. “Slow down Joanna, let him catch up until he is right behind us” Tim tells her as he places three nails into the soda cup. “Go really slow as we take the turn into the parking lot. He shouldn’t see it and run over the cup” he says, opening up the door of the car and dropping the cup behind the back wheel.
I hear a popping sound and a large hissing noise “Bingo; Go Baby; Go” Todd screams as Joanna pulls out of the gas station again. “You’ll be shifting in no time, Little Brother” he adds. **“The fuckwit can stop with the little brother bull shit”** I snarl to Jesse. **“Tell him when we shift”** he chuckles.
“I’m going to pull over up ahead. You can shift and Todd can take over driving” Joanna informs us. “You need to shift quickly; so, we can keep moving” Todd includes, looking behind at Jesse. **“No shit!”** Jesse snarls as Joanna pulls to the side of the road and Tim lets Jesse get out of the car.
He looks around as we shift, to insure no-one saw us and I hop back into the car; grabbing my clothes sitting on the back seat. “Go” I yell; as Todd takes off again.
“If Michael and Callum are at the River Moon Packhouse; Todd, you need to let us escape. We will be at Grandma Nelly’s place, hiding” I tell them. “Dad talked me through this scenario also. You will escape but it will be Michael or Callum that fucks up; not Todd. Is there a way you can manoeuvre yourself from the captured to the capturer? Tim asks, looking at me.
“Todd; do you want to answer?” I question, smirking in his direction. “Yes, he can” Todd snarls and Jason starts laughing. “What?” Tim asks. “Did you not tell him, Todd? That was my legendary move” I say chuckling, looking at Jason who is laughing even harder.
“We will need to have a chain between the shackles around our wrists” Jason informs Tim, who starts to understand why we are laughing. “Oh right; the choking thing with James. I should have remembered. The way Alpha Henry tells it; you were awesome. He was so proud of how you were able to shift the momentum” Tim responds.
“It was impressive, I guess” Todd growls as Jason and myself laugh even more.
“We will need to put the shackles on; we are coming up to the Cedar Moon Pack territory” Todd explains. “Don’t go near the driveway; not unless you want the tyres of the car to be blown out” Tim warns him. “What did you do to the territory? I didn’t go on there when I saw whoever was hanging up in the trees” Todd asks us. “Let’s just say, we put measures in place to stop anyone from coming onto our land” I answer him, smirking.
“Where are the shackles?” Jason asks, looking around the backseat of the car. “I have to get them, one good thing about producing what I need. It’s not just weapons; if I need to detain someone, I can” Tim says, as he opens his hands and two lots of silver shackles appears from thin air; held together by a silver chain.
“Put these on” Tim says, throwing the shackles and chains over to Jason and I. “Can you see Callum or Michael?” I ask Todd as we drive into the River Moon territory. “No; I can’t even see their cars. They mustn’t be here” he exclaims as he parks the car. “Let’s walk you into the cell and we can assess the situation” Tim includes, as Todd hops out of the driver’s seat.
“Are you ok, babe?” Todd asks Joanna. “Please don’t call me babe. I want a different nickname, not one you gave all your whores” Joanna spits at him and I smirk. She does have his cock in a vice. “What do you want me to call you?” Todd asks her. “My goddess, Todd. Don’t you have a brain of your own to think of one?” she snarls at him as the car that was following us, comes screaming up the driveway.
“Let’s go inside to my office. These assholes will have to come in. Danny; get ready to escape because of our friend; who is still having a bad day” Todd whispers, “No; I have an idea. I also know how you can release the shackles. Follow my lead” I say to Todd and Tim as the man, Jesse peed all over gets out of the car and heads over to us.
“Why are you following us?” Todd demands, glaring down at the man. “My name is Josiah from the Silver Pride. I was asked by Michael to make sure your prisoners got here safely” he responds, scowling at Jason and I.
“They did; you can go now” Todd booms, as a few pack members come through the front door. “I am to take the prisoners to Michael” he snarls at Todd. “Not likely” I sneer at him, looking at Jason who nods at me. “Fine by me. I didn’t want them here in the first place. Too much responsibility” Todd shrugs, turning his back to walk inside as Josiah comes over to grab me by the chains
I swerve my body and wrap the chains around Josiah’s neck as I hear Josie scream from the doorway; “Todd, Tim; it was a nice drive. But I’m not your prisoner and thanks to our friend Josiah here; I’m not his either” I spit, looking at Tim. “Oh; just a warning to you Tim. You can’t use the gift I gave you, against me” I say nodding at him as the chains and shackles disappear instantly.
I push Josiah to the ground, gasping for air as Jason and I take off towards the eastern border. “You fuckhead; we would have had him in the dungeon if you didn’t interfere. Michael is going to hear about this. I’m not going to take the blame for it” Todd screams and the sound of him kicking him in the stomach, echoes through the territory.
“Why aren’t you going after them?” I hear Josiah scream. “They only have one place to go; the Cedar Moon territory. Won’t be hard to track them down” Tim yells back to him as I stop myself from laughing and continue running to Grandma Nelly’s house.
*“Tim; make a copy of those files; I know you heard Quinton tell me the password”* I mind link, while I still could. “Tim, let’s go inside the packhouse. Figure out a way to get those two assholes back before Michael gets here” I hear Todd yell at the top of his voice, so we can hear him.
