About That #5
I felt pain radiate through me and sucked in a breath. Oden linked, “Mate was shot.” I asked, “Can you still reach Freya? TELL me she had on a vest.” Oden answered, “Yes, I’m talking to Freya. Mate does have a vest on. Freya has already healed it.” I could tell that because I felt better.
Drake McAlister had noticed my reaction though.
My father in law surmised, “Melanie was hurt.” I said, “She’s fine now.
” Hastein stood and hit the table as the feed came up.
Dylan commented, “My eyes and powers of deduction tell me that the Crown Prince Ninja Assassin's mate is the one in that car being chased. Those poor bastards have no idea their entire future just went up in flames for their actions. Oh well, they are bad guys anyway.”
I turned to the screen and winced. I knew it was Kingsley too based on Hastein’s reaction. She was being chased, and they were gaining on her while shooting. Her back window exploded as voices came through my watch, but no one else’s watch was picking it up.
Hastein asked, “Why do you have their voices but no one else does?” Dylan yelled, “PICK ME! PLEASE, CPCNA!” Hastein rolled his eyes grumbling, “You abbreviated the nickname that YOU gave me?”
Dylan sighed, “Give me a break I’ve said it so many times now that it needed to be abbreviated. To answer your original question, MMSGAP’s watch will always have the comms, whereas the rest of the saps have to find the channel because his is a special watch.”
“From his special mate, who LOVESSSSS him oh so much. MMSGAP’s has other features that the other watches do not. I know this because, well I’m me and I have sources. A certain Fairy told me. He’s fascinated by MelAshley too.” I’d imagine it was cousin Marcious then.
Jason grumbled, “I'm her damn brother. Why don’t I get a special watch?” Dylan snorted, “Because you have lost out to someone with the last name Conners. Embrace this Jase because that’s what they do.
You just have to choose to rise above it and be their friend anyway even though they are annoying.
We’ve all been there. Me especially. It’s a hard lot in life, but it is ours and we conquer it so well. ”
The chatter on the coms was not helping right now, because I was getting a feeling I hated the plan being formed.
I could hear the roar of the engine of the car Melanie was in.
Gage linked, “Dear god, don’t be the plan I think it is.
” Phil even looked nervous. I’d check the bond if I had the brain space, but I didn’t.
Hastein’s knuckles were white. Dylan said, “Have pity on the table CPCNA. MelAshley has a plan. All is well.” A crash sounded. Dylan shrieked, “THAT WAS THE PLAN? Dear sweet baby Jesus! LOCK UP ALL YOUR WINDOWS BLACK MOUNTAIN, MMSGAP IS GOING TO BE ON THE LOOSE!”
I snarled while Melanie’s car crashed into the closest car behind Kingsley’s. My mate immediately reversed. She was going the wrong way facing all the cars after causing quite a crash. I could feel her pain from the wreck.
Melanie rolled down her window and fired. Someone yelled, “THAT WAS NOT A GOOD PLAN, brAVO ONE!” Melanie retorted, “I didn’t say it was a good plan! I said I had a plan. I did not use an adjective to describe said plan. Get out of here!”
Someone growled, “You are kidding me.” Melanie ordered, “GO!” A text flashed on my watch. Paige put up a portal to Nashville that Melanie was going to use. Hastein asked angrily, “What did your special watch say now?” I knew his anger stemmed from the situation and wasn’t directed at me.
I answered, “I know where they will be heading. As soon as we lose our visual, I’ll take you there.” Hastein nodded. Melanie ordered, “Bravo Ten open your sunroof.” Kingsley groaned, “You cannot be thinking what I think you’re thinking.”
Jason huffed, “Let’s safely say Ladybug is. Also, what does a sunroof tell us about what my sister is thinking? I’ve got NOTHING good. ALSO, WHO THE HELL TAUGHT MY SISTER TO DRIVE LIKE SHE’S IN THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS?!”
Chason motioned Hendrick and Mason into the room. I growled, “Him.” I pointed at Mason. Mason snorted, “I taught Melanie how to drive a motorcycle. I did not teach her how to drive a car.” I growled, “Then who the fuck did?” Mason didn’t say anything, but he smirked so I growled at him again.
Melanie’s car was now facing forward. My wife instructed my cousin’s mate, “Slow down, Bravo Ten.” Kingsley sighed, “This is such an interesting plan. I could just set some things on fire. I have matches in my pocket.” Melanie said, “It’s fine. No fire needed.”
My wife then opened her car door, and a motorcyclist hit it full force knocking the door clean off. It caused the motorcyclist to crash and get run over by a car behind them. The door hit the ground and bounced into the windshield of an SUV.
Melanie snorted, “I couldn’t do that ever again if I tried to.
You just have to love physics.” Kingsley answered, “I don’t think the guy driving that car would agree.
” Melanie sighed, “Touché.” Their humor indicated to me they were going to be fine.
Oden said, “Freya is confident. Freya is also confident in the fact we will hate the plan.” I replied, “I haven’t liked it thus far. So, that’s not shocking.”
Melanie cut in front of Kingsley's car and crashed into another car that was about to ambush Kingsley’s. I winced feeling my mate’s pain. I watched in astonishment, and my wife practically flew through the air jumping onto the front of Kingsley’s car hood.
Drake growled, “MELANIE JANE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Dylan said, “Not to point out the obvious, but she can’t hear you.
You just break all the rules about hallucinations talking and now you think she can hear you randomly.
MMSGAP would have to know how to talk back rather than just hear MelAshley on the coms for her to have heard you. ”
Kingsley yelled, “ARE YOU CRAZY!” Tristan growled, “YES!” Melanie said, “It was the best way… to….” My mate cut herself off when the car she’d been driving exploded. I went to my knees in pain when Melanie’s vest took another hit.
My mate grabbed onto the top of the car, turned, and returned fire. Once she stopped my wife literally fell into the car through the sunroof. Kingsley commented, “That had to hurt.” It had and I could feel every single bit of it. Pain was radiating through my back.
Melanie muttered, “You know what the people who made consoles and gear shifts never thought about? Coming into the car through the dang sunroof!” Oden asked, “Why would they?” I don’t know. Kingsley laughed, “Where would you have them put it?”
Melanie said, “Put the gear shift by the steering wheel…. Obviously.” Kingsley said, “Whatever you say.” I watched Melanie put in an address into the GPS. Kingsley was a good evasive driver. Luckily, the camera’s my uncle had placed by my cousin had us with them when they reached a building.
Kingsley grabbed Melanie and jumped onto the top of the building out of sight. Holy motherfucking shit. I gaped at the screen. Hastein’s mate had just leapt onto the top of the building like it was nothing. What on god’s green earth was she? She did it with Melanie too. Like she was weightless.
EJ linked me, “I still don’t know what Kinglsey is, but that was REALLY cool.” I agreed. Dylan squealed, “OH MY GOD! I have so many things to say. Ok the official betting pool for what CPCNA’s mate is has opened.”
“I was going to say Big Foot because why not? LSGAP over there is trying to collect rare things. CPNA is his nephew by marriage and there was a purported sighting here in our dear town recently. So naturally, my first guess was Big Foot.”
“Now I’m thinking she’s a panther. We saw Werebengals.
So, why not a Werepanther? It has to be one with wings because that ascent into the air was so graceful!
So, she’s a crossbreed and we love those.
We love ourselves some hybrids around these here parts.
CPNA’s mate is a Bigfoot Panther with some Ostrich blood in her. NOOOOOOOOO!”
Dylan squealed then continued shouting, “SHE’S A PEGASUS! THE CREEPY NINJA ASSASSINS ARE GOING TO BE RIDING THEIR WINGED DIVINE HORSES INTO BATTLE AND I WILL LIVE! CPCNA is Hercules!”
Dylan got on his knees in front of Hastein, “I’m retired now Crown Prince of the Ninja Assassins. I TOTALLY have time to show up when you fly on your Pegasus into battle with a bullhorn shouting, “HERCULES! HERCULES! HERCULES!” I MUST have you hire me for this role. I WAS BORN TO DO THIS!”
Dad chimed in, “I actually agree. He was born to do that. In another realm far away from me.” Dylan gasped, “You try to wound me while agreeing with me. It is the zing to our zang. I know you love me.” Hastein rolled his eyes.
Gage urged, “Go, Alexander.” I grabbed Hastein and popped to Melanie’s place in Nashville. My cousin stated the obvious, “They aren’t here.” I snorted, “They are coming. I can hear them outside and now they are in the elevator.” The elevator doors opened and both of us gave them looks.
Melanie pulled her mask off, followed by Kingsley. Kingsley's phone rang and she sighed. Melanie looked at who was calling and started playing water sounds on her phone. It sounded like someone was taking a shower. Kingsley answered, “What? Hello?”
The man on the other end said, “Open your door. I’ve been knocking but your music is turned up so loud you probably can’t hear it.” That guy obviously wanted my cousin to kill him speaking to his mate like that.
Kingsley said, “I’m in the shower. I’m off work tonight, John.” John said, “Well, I need to see you, Karlee.” Kingsley sighed, “Give me five to get out of the dang shower.” John warned, “Anything over five minutes and I’ll break down the door. You’d better be here.” He hung up.
