was all over his face that what he really wanted to do was run out the door and vamp speed it up to where Liam was searching.
    I peeked over at William, hoping that he wouldn’t notice me looking. I wo ndered what it was like to be head over heels in love with someone. How long did Jackie and Garrett know each other before they kissed for the first time? I’d never kissed anyone seriously. I looked down at my way-too-skinny body and ran a hand through my messy hair. Who’d want to kiss me anyway?
    Garrett sat down and spoke, “I’m going over this once more. Rob will be here from dawn to dusk. He'll organize the search here at our home base, overseeing Sinc and Bridgett on the phones and computers or any other work that he feels is necessary. He's in charge, If he's called away for some reason, Sinc will step up."
    " Sasha is in charge in the evening." I couldn't help wincing, but luckily, Garrett didn't see it and neither did Sasha.
    Garrett looked at me and William. "You two will cooperate and follow their orders, do you understand?” We both nodded. Garrett looked back at Sasha. “Elizabeth may be in and out once in a while to check the sovereignty of her wards. Work on the new house is suspended until Jackie is back. The wolves will be contacting other packs to get information and will be calling the house. If something important comes in you'll get the info to me or Liam immediately.” Sinc nodded.
    “At night, Heinrich and Sasha will take tur ns patrolling the grounds. Sash, you, Will and Rick will have to take turns feeding. If for some reason it isn’t safe, you can bring a donor here to the house, but only as a last resort. Glamour them so they don’t remember where they've been. You'll lose your heads in a heartbeat if anyone gets injured. Do you understand?”
    "Yes Garrett," Sash answered.
    “Will, you’ll need to make sure communications get sent to the correct party when Rob leaves and Sinc and Bridgett are asleep."
    "Yes, Garrett. I'll go over everything with Sinc."
    “And this is the most important thing. Except to feed, no one leaves the grounds until I get back with Jackie. You're all stuck here together until this danger is past. I can’t be worrying about you and her.” It was obvious that he was stressed to the limit, and yet he was somehow holding himself together. His fists were clenching and unclenching and I wondered if he even knew he was doing it. I felt like I wanted to say or do something to help him.
    “Garre tt, I know she’s alive. You’ll find her soon so don’t worry about us. We’ll do what Rob and Sasha and Sinc say.”
    H e actually smiled at me, losing some of the tension in his face. “Thank you. I appreciate that. You can go and organize yourselves now. I’ll be leaving within the hour.” He stood and said, “Sasha could you come into my office for a minute?” He turned and left the room followed closely by his second in command.
    I felt a hand squeezing mine and I froze for a few seconds. When I turned to look at William , he was smiling at me.
    “What you said was perfect.” I smiled back and looked down at our hands joined together on the arm of my chair. “Do you want me to take my hand away?” he whispered .
    I looked up into his lovely light blue eyes and saw something there I’d never seen in the eyes of any other young man: admiration and maybe even…attraction ? Maybe with a little fear thrown in for good measure. He was scared, like me. I felt too warm and my heart was beating faster than normal, but it was all good.
    “No . Leave it where it is.” His shy smile turned into a true grin and I watched him breathe in my scent as I turned my hand over and threaded my fingers through his.

    Garrett : 4:15 AM Wednesday
    I jumped ove r the fallen oak tree branch and hit the ground without a break in my stride. Vamp speed was a definite perk and I was making the most of it tonight, racing through various towns leaving behind only the
