Trinity

~~

“Trinity?” Rawlynne called out to me from the middle of the room after Shawn and Dietrich made their bombshell statements. “We can run all the names against the databases that we have access to. We can see if anyone matching their descriptions has recently come into the country. On top of that, we can have someone at the bureau check out the laptop.” She was already getting straight to business with all the new evidence. “Also, we’ve already sent the rocks from Crescent City to be dusted for prints and the DNA from Waterton to be checked against all known offenders. We are on top of these things, and we will stay on top of them. I know that we will find these people soon.”

“I appreciate that, Rawlynne.” I nodded at her. “I want us all on this case as much as possible. We need to find these people and we need to find them now. They are threatening our home. They said that they were going to bring the fight to our courtyard. To me that means that they are bringing it to our city, our home. I fear that the next time that there will be someone killed will be here in Colorado, possibly even in Colorado Springs or Trinity Falls. We need to be on guard. We need to stop them before anyone else is hurt.”

In the middle of my little speech, another phone rang in the room. I wasn’t all that upset about it though, since I had also let that happen at the beginning of the meeting. However, I did hope that whatever it was it was actually important.

“Sorry.” Jackson said as he pulled his phone from his pocket. “I..it’s the lab.” He looked up at me.

.....

“Answer it. Hopefully it will be something important.” NoᴠelFɪre.net

“I’ll put it on speaker.” He said as he swiped the screen and stopped the phone from ringing. “This is McIan.” He greeted the caller.

“Hey Jackson, it’s Reggie.” The woman on the call answered him immediately. I knew who this was. Reggie was Regina Danylo. She was a bear shifter that had moved here from the war-torn Ukraine region eighteen years ago. She had started working with Jackson and Rawlynne when they completely revamped the local FBI office and often does business that pertains to the supernatural people of the world. She was also the head of the local FBI forensics lab. A useful insider that was there to help us.

“Hey Reg, what do you have for me?” Jackson asked when he heard who it was on the call.

“Well, the rocks that you and Raw sent were a bust. There were fingerprints galore, but none of them matched anything in the system. And none of them matched the other scenes either. We’re still having them scanned regularly so that we can see if anything new comes up later on. The DNA was run, and it comes up as a familial match for the other DNA that we’ve been able to run, so these people are all related. Somewhere on the cousin level. However, this person has been in the system before. He attacked a woman in a bar a few years back. There is no name, and he was never caught, but there is a physical description of the man that the woman and witnesses gave at the time. That’s the best that I can do for now, I am sorry.”

“It’s fine Reg. I understand. Hey, I need someone that is a computer specialist. We have a laptop from Germany that we need to have investigated. It was just brought in. Can you send someone my way?” Jackson moved past the information that wasn’t going to help us at all and got right to work on the other information.

“Yeah, I think that Darrol would be a match for that job. He’s a feline that works out of Aurora. I will have him sent to you right away. He will be there in the morning.”

“Thanks Reggie.” I called out before Jackson could speak.

“Oh, I didn’t know that Queen Trinity was there.” I could practically hear her blushing in embarrassment.

“Yes, we were in the middle of a meeting when you called. I put it on speaker so that Trinity and Reece could hear what you had to say right away.”

“O..oh. OK.” She was still embarrassed, but she was moving on and getting back to business.

“Reggie, would you send us the files that you have on that assault case? We have some files here that we can compare them to.”

“The files I brought back also included fingerprints. They are from when they were all kids, but they’re in there. We can compare them to the fingerprints that we have so far and see who these assholes are. The ones that have been killing people and leaving behind evidence at the very least.” Shawn spoke up as he told me and the others about that added little bonus in the files.

“And the fact that they are all coming up as related tells me that this indeed is Alaric’s family that is doing this. This is definitely the Jaegan family that is doing all of this.”

“What did you just say?” I did a double take at Dietrich’s words just then. “What family?” I was already bringing back the memories from Star and Artem’s place. That man that killed himself in that room earlier today.

“Jaegan. That was the family name. Alaric Jaegan.”

“That man that we interviewed in Crescent City, the one that used the rune to kill himself, his name was Angus Jaegan. That was what he told us.”

“You got a name?” Reggie said from the phone. “I can run a search on him.”

“We’ve already done that.” Jackson told her. “We didn’t find anything.”

“That was with someone else’s system. Let me or even Darrol search for him. I am sure that we can locate something on that man. And if you have other names then we can search for them as well.”

“Done. You and Darrol meet us here tomorrow. I want these people found as soon as possible. This can’t wait any longer” And if it wasn’t already so late, I would have the two of them here right now. The sooner the better. At least I was being nice and letting them wait until the morning.

“Yes, Queen Trinity. I will call Darrol and let him know right away. We will be there tomorrow first thing.” She sounded nervous now. Like she thought that my anger was going to spill over or something.

“You have until nine in the morning.” I told her. “I am driving my kids to school in the morning.” I remembered my promise that I made to them, and I meant to keep it.

“Yes, Queen Trinity. We will be there.” I knew that Reggie was close enough to be here at that time. Darrol, though, would have to leave early.

“I will send a helicopter for Darrol. Tell him to be ready by seven thirty in the morning. Our pilot will be waiting for him.”

“Y..yes, Queen Trinity. I will tell him. Thank you. S..see you tomorrow. G..goodbye and g..good night.” With that shaky goodbye, Reggie ended the call. I don’t think that she planned on the call going quite that way. Still, this was the closest that we were to this case so far, and I didn’t want to lose our lead.

“I think that we should go through these files first thing in the morning. We will learn all their names and descriptions so that we can recognize them if we come across them. It’s getting late though, so we need to stop here for the night. All of you get some rest and be ready to work tomorrow.”

“Got it.”

“Understood.”

“Roger that.”

“Will do.”

A chorus of affirmations greeted me as they all started to get to their feet.

“Riley, Carter, Trevor, Aunt Glory, Athair mòr, I am sorry to all of you.”

“What for?” They paused and looked at me with wide eyes.

“Well, for one thing, you didn’t plan on sleeping here, so you have no luggage. For two, your families aren’t here with you.”

“That isn’t an issue, Trinity.” Riley smiled at us. “They understand that there are extenuating circumstances at the moment.”

“Plus, you can always open a door for us to see our families if we need it.” Trevor added.

“And I think that all of us have clothes in our homes here. I know that I do. I never know when I need to make an unexpected trip home. So, keeping things here and ready is an essential thing for me.”

“We’ve had peace for a long time, Trinity. That had been wonderful, and it would be ideal for things to stay that way. However, this is something that is affecting us all. A girl that was half Fae has been murdered as well. And there are others that are of our kind too. So many people in our united communities have been hurt. We understand the need for us to come together right now. We understand that and you need to as well. We’re here to help you, Gariníon. Out of love and respect for you.” Athair mòr, always a calming voice of wisdom, put his hands on my shoulders as he spoke to me in a soothing voice.

“Thank you, Athair mòr. I love you.” I hugged him tightly then, taking in his warmth and kindness as it helped to settle my nerves a little bit.

“I love you too, Trinity.” He squeezed me tighter and kissed the top of my head like I was a child. I knew that he couldn’t help but treat me as a child. Even though I was an adult when I met him, he was about three thousand years older than me. To him, I was just a little sprout that was starting to bud. Definitely nowhere near as mature and knowledgeable as he was.

I watched them all leave the room with a heavy heart. I knew that this case was disrupting their lives and I didn’t want to do that to them. I didn’t want to be the cause of them having strained relationships with their family or staying away for so long. I just wasn’t able to do anything about it.

“Come on, Little Bunny.” Reece took my hand as he started to pull me toward the hall. “We should get some rest too. We’ve got a busy day tomorrow as well.” He was right. There really was a lot for us to do.

“Alright, Fido, let’s get to bed.” I gripped his hand a little tighter. A surge of excitement coursing through me. I was going to be sleeping in my own bed, in my own room, in my own home. It had been a while since I was able to do that and I really had missed it.
