Chapter 0441 “Oh?” I asked, waiting to hear what he had to say.
“Crash it and let everyone know that you have ears everywhere, even without your informant...” “Or?” “Or stay in the shadows and see what you can hear. However, 1 did gather sinformation that might intrigue you.” Alec got a weird glimmer in his eye.
“What?” I asked, suspiciously.
“The old man that lives there. He hates Vin. Rip funded his operation so the old man turned a blind eye and did favors for Rip. Since Rip was killed, Vin hasn't paid him, It might be worth our while
to pay him a visit with a check and see what we can do.” “That’s.... an idea.” I stewed over it for awhile before I spoke again. “We could give him money and he could betray us or give us wrong information.” “True. He could take our money and not want to work with us since he has spent his life around everything illegal.” Alec agreed. “However.” He leaned forward. “He could give us all the information we are missing.” “1 mean, we could pay him a visit and see what he has to say.” I felt a little uneasy about this.
“If we did, we couldn’t use the quiet, shadow approach. Our cover would be blown.” “What’s even worse, if we did approach him and he said he would
help us. We get to whatever event is going on and then he announces who we are. There isn’t another way. out. We would be dead.” I stressed. “I gota look of that place when I approached Gunther. Plus, I had my hand around his neck. He wasn’t exactly a fan of me.” “Money changes a person.” Alec gave me a look as he said it. He wasn’t wrong. Money does change a person.

“It’s not like we can send Zac anywhere and Gunther and Kara have been hiding in scabin. We are running out of tricks to see but I would like to figure out what he has to say.” “That might be our next move. See
what Gunther thinks.” Alec agreed.
“You said he slept at the old man’s house. Maybe Gunther will be able to gage on if he would work with us or not.” “We would have to see if Vin is around or watching.” “We could send that pack of wolves.
Blake has been with them since a few days ago. He doesn’t have a family and I'was thinking he would be good to have undercover in case we needed something.” “That would be helpful. Blake could give him a message or figure out the best way to communicate with Gunther.” I was surprised he sent Blake to live with the pack of wolves but it made sense.
“The only problem with that. If Vin
recognized them, that wouldn’t be good.” Alec said.
“That is assuming Vin has enough man power to do anything about it.” “They ran to that cabin with no hesitation. Other than the helicopter we sent to look at it, we don’t have eyes. Who knows what security he has.” Alec didn’t sound too sure himself.
“Think about it. Kristen wants to go to your house for supper. She doesn’t Penny isn’t going to cook so she is wanting to bring something with us for everyone.” @ “Is everything okay?” I asked.
“Oh yeah. I think she just misses you honestly. You have been so busy with things that you haven't spent time
with Kristen and she is missing her twin.” “Look at her heart showing.” 1 ~~ laughed.
“She has been a little more emotional ~ butshe does have something she wants to talk to you about.” “Emotional like Emmy?” I asked.
“Fuck no. Nothing like that.” “What does she want to talk toabout?” I asked, unsure of this supper.
“That’s between you and her. My only job was to tell you that we are coming.” Alec held up his hands.
“Thanks for the warning.” I said, dully.
“Anytime.” Alec smirked as he stood up. “I'm going hto tell her I | delivered the message. We wiil see you | at six.” “Okay. See you then.” Alec nodded and walked out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDeciding I might as well go break the news to Penny, I stood up and walked out of my office. The packhouse was busy. People were coming and going and the warriors were all on high alert.
Since the attack on Vin, I have expected an attack in retaliation but so far, Vin has been quiet.
Getting into my car, I was able to make it hin complete silence. Just looking at the house, I was filled with happiness. Raising my kids here meant everything to me.
“Penny?” I asked as I walked in the
front door.
“I’m here!” Penny yelled from the ; kitchen. pe “What are you doing?” I asked as I walked into the kitchen. She was looking in the fridge, while holding an opened jar of pickles. As she looked, she kept picking one out and eating it.
“Looking for something for supper.” She didn’t even look over at me.
“Kristen wants to bring supper over for us. She has something she wants to talk to us about.” “Oh? What's that?” Penny sighed and shut the door.
“Alec didn’t say.” Grabbing a pickle, I ate it as she walked to the livingroom.
“I think I have an idea of what it might be about.” Penny looked atand sat down.
“What's that?”
