Maybe it’s this fucking place…
With that thought, Ro decided it was time to get the omegas out and get the fuck out of there.
Ronin grabbed his gear and headed over to the stakeout spot where Maddox, Nix, and Zander were watching the place like a hawk.
“Have a good rest?” Maddox asked, not looking in his direction.
“Yeah, I suppose.” For some reason Ronin added, “But the strangest thing happened. Something woke me up, or I woke up to the sound of something. It was a voice saying to ‘save me, save us.’”
Zander glanced at him brow raised. “Save us?”
Ronin nodded. “I know. I figured maybe it’s my subconscious... maybe it’s…” Ronin shrugged not knowing what else it could be. “I don’t know what the fuck it was, but the voice said, ‘save me…save us.’”
“It’s probably just your alpha pushing you to rescue the omegas, especially after seeing how terrified Cybil was,” Zander suggested. “It’s hardwired in us, you know. That’s why I can’t fucking understand alphas that treat omegas like shit.”
“Yeah, man. It was probably a dream. I wouldn’t put too much stake in it.” Maddox chimed in.
Ronin considered that, but he wasn’t so sure. The voice, along with the strong feeling… There was something urging him to proceed quicker. And he had to listen to his instincts.
“Just can’t shake the feeling,” Ro muttered. “Did anything happen while I was resting?”
Maddox shook his head. “Nope. Not a thing. Well, except we’ve seen at least three men, not including Anton. One came and left pretty soon after, the other two seem to be permanent fixtures.”
“Did you check in on Cybil,” Nix asked. “How is she holding up?”
Ronin nodded. “She was asleep when I left, but someone should go make sure she’s okay. I know we told her what was happening, but if she wakes up alone, she might freak out.”
“I’ll go,” Zan volunteered. “My turn to rest up anyway.”
“We’ll stay guard. Meet back here at 03:00 for breach,” Ronin instructed.
“Roger that,” Zander said before walking away.
Ronin turned back to the warehouse. “Either one of you need to go get a nap in or something?” Ronin asked.
“I’m good,” Maddox said.
“Same here,” Nix agreed.
At that moment, the warehouse door opened and out walked Anton. He had a woman by the arm that he was dragging behind him. Ronin touched his pistol, ready to pull it out, but then the two stopped suddenly.
They all watched as neither Anton nor the female omega said a word. Anton turned in their direction and Ronin, Maddox, and Nix froze. He hoped the building and overgrown foliage kept them hidden because Anton was looking right in their direction. They watched as Anton walked back the way he came, pulling the woman back into the warehouse.
“What the fuck was that about?” Nix muttered.
“Does he know we’re here?” Maddox whispered.
Ronin couldn’t get that image out of his head, and he shrugged. “It seems possible. But it just confirms what we already knew. We have to act tonight before it’s too late.”
Ronin’s phone started to vibrate. He stepped away from the two of them. “I’ll be right back,” he said.
He looked down at his phone and saw Roman’s number on the caller ID. He stepped far enough away from where they were observing before answering the call. Ro figured there was enough distance and that no one would have been able to hear him, but still he whispered. “Hello?”
“How’s it going? Anything new?” Rome asked instead of a hello.
Ronin groaned. “No. Nothing you need to concern yourself with.”
“Meaning there is something, but you won’t tell me what it is?” Roman guessed.
