send someone after her,” Dante said.
Orfeo, Tripp, Dante, Brin, Bane, and Marshall were all in the conference room where Orfeo had called them while the women were in the room adjacent having coffee. The men were keeping a close watch; Cami and the other girls had been talking to Fredi. Although she had discovered she could block conversations from others, they could still feel the magic as she used it. It was something Fredi was grumbling about when she was called on it.
Orfeo had been in the process of letting the men in on the plans for Cat's surprise birthday party this upcoming weekend, when he had gotten the call from Striker regarding Mia.
Mia knew where Roarke’s compound was, she was just blocking it. “I hope that being away from the crazy asshole, she would begin to remember more specific. Although according to Jordan and the other women, when she remembered she would be a mess. The poor human had been through a lot, and witnessed even more. When she escaped with nowhere to turn, she remembered the mention of Milliken, that is where she chose to run, thank the gods,” said Orfeo.
Cami would never turn away someone in need and decided she was safest with the Senate for now, her men could only agree. So, she put Mia on a plane with a couple of guards and sent her to them with a layover in London, which was where Orfeo had decided to send Striker to meet her.
Orfeo was wary of this human who had obviously been a part of Roarke's compound for a time. He needed to know that it was safe to have her within the Senate's compound. The only way to do that was to send Striker. Striker was an old friend of Dante's from way back. Striker was good at what he did and Orfeo knew he would be able to determine if it was safe to bring Mia here.
Now add in the fact she was going to be part of the Senate, they needed to make sure Roarke and Diavolo had no idea where she was. Staying on the back roads with Striker seemed the only course of action since they knew Diavolo was close to them.
"She is frightened and wary, we can only hope Striker will be able to bring her to us safely. He assures me she is safe and recovering well. However, I think maybe we should send more men out or have one of our trusted friends, like a Fae, go. That way it will not seem like the Clan is preparing for her arrival,” Orfeo said as he took a sip of his after dinner brandy.
"Striker is good, he will ensure her safety and the safety of his clan. Roarke doesn't stand a chance against him if he tries something. That's why I didn't hesitate to urge you to send Mia there. But I can see where they would need more protection. Let me make some calls and see what we can do,” Dante stated as he poured himself another shot of brandy.
Just then, the door to the room blew open as Jax breezed through and shut it quickly. "Hurry up! Fredi has her in the kitchen going over a recipe that she wants to try. We have five minutes at the most."
“ What? Your distraction is having Fredi show Cat how to cook, are you fucking nuts?” Tripp yelled.
“ Shh, I had to do something, so quit bitching,” Jax ground out. “Your mate is difficult, you know since you have allowed her to talk to Cami and the others daily, she has become quite bold. I am liking the new bitch Cat.”
Orfeo rolled his eyes and looked at Tripp, “Do we have Tums at least?”
“ Well hell yeah, stocked up on them the last time she made us a romantic dinner,” Tripp said.
“ Quit being a baby, we have important things to discuss,” Jax smarted off and then tried walking to Tripp shaking her finger.
Brin, who had jumped at her entry, grabbed her hand and turned her to him, and said, "Darling, don't worry, everything is under control."
"Well, I want to make sure. This is her first birthday here in the new compound and I want it to be special,” Jax said as she stuck out her lip to Brin, knowing he would come to her if she did. She looked over her shoulder at Tripp and stuck out her
