“Whhaatt? Me?” Dakota asked, stunned at the results.

“Yup,” Jackson replied. “Lucky for youandfor the rest of our brothers, if you catch my drift.”

“Aww man, I was sure I was going to win,” Carson said.

“Let me guess, if you won, you were going to order one of your brothers to do the rest of your punishment, right?” asked Jackson.

“Maybe,” Carson answered, surprised his brother knew him so well.

“Hey Kota, what do you want done?” asked Zane.

“I don’t know…I never thought I’d win,” answered Dakota. “I’ll have to think about it.”

“I have some ideas, babe,” Slate whispered in his mate’s ear. “But they’ll keep for later.”

“Zane, Carson, please clear the table and clean up the kitchen. Cody and Dylon, meet me in my study. Babe, please take Daniel to see his grandparents and then join me in my study. Dakota, give me about fifteen minutes, then please come see me.” Jackson handed his son to his mate before rising and headed to his study.

He was eager to see if Logan had sent the video of what happened to Fionn last night. Sitting at his desk, he scrolled his email and found what he wanted.

When Dylon led Cody into Jackson’s study, he saw their Alpha staring intently at his computer screen. His mate sat down in one of the chairs facing his brother and Dylon sat quietly next to him, waiting to hear about Fionn.

Glancing up and seeing only Cody and Dylon, Jackson said, “Where are the twins?”

“With Mystia and Jimmy. They wanted to give us some free time so as soon as you’re finished, we’re going for a run in the woods,” Cody replied, smiling.

Nodding, Jackson swiveled his monitor so they could view the video and hit the Play button. “This part shows the two men restraining Fionn and his attempts to break free. Then Groose and his men appear, freeing Fionn and taking him away.” Fast forwarding the video, Jackson continued, “There’s the third man who helped the first two escape after they were knocked out.” When the video ended, Jackson said, “During the attack, Fionn sensed another dragon but it wasn’t his father. That’s what caused him to panic.”

“But you’re sure he’s okay and safe?” Dylon asked.

“Yes, he’s with Logan right now. Groose has restricted access to their floor so no one can get close to him,” answered Jackson.

“Was the dragon at the club?” asked Dylon.

“Not according to Fionn, but it definitely was in Scotland,” replied Jackson.

“Any info on the men? Do we know who they are?” asked Cody.

“All Logan could find out is that it was their first time visiting the club,” Jackson said.

“Can you get me a copy of the video? I want to send it to some of my friends at the High Council. They might recognize these guys,” Dylon said.

“By email, okay?” asked Jackson. “Or do you want it on a DVD.”

“Email’s fine,” Dylon replied. “Cody mentioned that Logan wanted Fionn to come here. So how fast can that happen?”

“As soon as you say it’s okay for Fionn to do so. As legal guardians, I need your permission to fly him out of Scotland. Logan has spoken to Fionn and he’s for it,” answered Jackson.

“Will Logan and Kieran come with him? I don’t think he should be by himself,” Cody said.

“I thought of that, but that would leave Theo, Norman and Lizzie with Colton so that won’t work since he has his hands full with Ian’s parents and a mate who isn’t feeling perky.”

“What’s wrong with Ian?” asked Cody.

“The only thing Colton has said is Ian is very tired, which I remember being when I was pregnant,” Jackson replied. “I have someone else in mind and I think you’ll approve.”

“Who?” asked Cody.

“Dakota and Slate. I haven’t asked them yet because I wanted to see what you thought,” replied Jackson.
