Chapter 249
“I’m not answering that alpha, at least not in detail but it wasn’t good. The only reason I knew it was three days later when I woke was because Dr. Carter told me. Dad apparently called him and told him that he was showing me mercy by calling him. That he had eight hours to figure out where the training office inside the pack house was and get me to the hospital. If I was still there when he came back to the room he would take me outside and throw me in the bushes outside my bedroom window.”
He pauses his story as it's obvious that Jessa is taking his story hard, any mate would.
“Since you won’t detail what happened, will you detail your plan.”
“In general, I’m looking at packing a single pack with my laptop, whatever medication I have and what little money I’ve got. Leave the pack house, it doesn’t matter if it’s the window or door he’d see me either way, and put my pack in a dry location that only Jamie knows about.
I’ll link with him to let him know it’s been left before taking off for the border. When I get caught it will be grueling as I don’t expect any mercy from him this second time but if Dr. Carter knows what I’m up to he won’t wait for dad to allow him to come get me. He knows where the room is now.”
“You mean to tell me your entire plan is based on getting caught?”
I’m in shock that’s what he’s come up with.
“Unfortunately that’s the only way to get out.” He states sadly.
“Why can’t you just keep going? Plan hiding spots? Take days or weeks to actually cross the border instead of the same night?” Jessa is whining hard through her frustrated questions.
“When I got caught that first time I crossed the border, I lost everything I had with me. He never returned it to me and no one has ever found it. If I plan to escape and I’m caught then the laptop that I need to prove my innocence will disappear, making the whole thing worthless to go through.
If I plan on getting caught, yes it will be brutal. He came close to killing me before he stopped and it took months to fully recover, but if I plan it out then I can have people in place watching for him to leave. Dr. Carter and Jamie can get into the room and get me to White General at which point Jamie can return my bag to me.
The only way this works to my benefit, alpha, is for you to get them out as well. If dad finds that they took me from the room before he gives them permission their lives will be in danger too.”
I nod my head slowly as I’m starting to understand his plan and why it has to be this way. I don’t like it but he’s thought this through, quite possibly planned it since the first failure and the news of him being reported to the council as a rapist.
“What can I do to help?” I finally ask.
“I don’t have any contact with Dr. Carter outside of showing up unannounced to the emergency room. I can link with Jamie when I’m not in too much pain and let him know what’s going on. The best thing I can come up with is getting Dr. Carter’s contact information to him. I can link him and he can call Dr. Carter.”
“I talked to Jamie last week. As you already know, I canceled the run and everyone went home except for the three I was interested in offering sanctuary to.”
I give him a moment to process what I just said.
“You’re offering Jamie sanctuary?”
I knew he wasn’t prepared to hear it but it needs to be understood that I recognize the suffering Jamie and his family are going through.
“He’s a loyal friend and he has no interest in abandoning you. Both of you will be leaving for Red Fang after lunch on July 20th. We have until then to come up with a working plan for your escape based around this plan of yours. I will get in contact with Alex and explain what’s going on and if he has any sort of plan regarding his safety and the safety of his family. I can offer him temporary sanctuary here but you need to realize that he may have his own plan.”
“He has been trying for the last year to get me to agree to going to White General. He keeps telling me that he and his family will be fine. That as soon as I find a safe place to live, he’s leaving that wretched hospital as everyone acts as if everyone that comes in is nothing more than a bunch of feral rogues.”
“As much as I don’t want this to be the plan it sounds like it’s what it needs to be but I need to change it.”
“What do you mean? This is what it needs to be.”
His voice is panicked again, not liking my need to help him.
“I’m not changing the plan. What I am changing is what you take from your room.”
He cocks his head to the side, I know all his attention is on me.
“I want you to concentrate on evidence. Your laptop, any thumb drives or notebooks that have information on them, the notes that the littles leave, stuff like that. If you have any money, I know you said it’s hard for you to get, but any money or anything else of value to you that’s light and small, bring it too. Don’t worry about clothes or medication outside your rescue inhaler. Jamie and I have chatted about him being in a support role. He will be taking extras home with him. I’m hoping that with what I send home for you being labeled as his that your dad will leave it be.”
He nods his head but it’s obvious that he’s struggling with his decision to head home.
“Are you doing okay with all this information or do you need a break before Angela goes over the ferality trial process?”
“I’m as good as I’m going to be, sir. I need to know how much time I have to finally end the hell I live in.”
