“Yeah, but our team has unique skills that make us the obvious or only choice for certain missions.”
I shrug. Lil waves pointing to a camera inlaid in the frame of the window.
“Then we really need to relax one night.”
“You still the DD or have you graduated into the land of underage drinking with the rest of us?” Oliver’s attempt at being a smartass has Lil, Jena and I all laughing.
“I smile at him playfully, you’ll just have to find out. And this time the girls get to take body shots.”
“Yes!! I have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds like a challenge.”
Lil points at me. “I will always take a drinking challenge. When is this happening?”
“Sam is going to be so pissed he missed this conversation.”
Oliver laughs darkly.
Mateo smiles, but ignores his comment. “The twins should be done with their patrols around lunch and we will trade out with them. They have a few things going on with the Alpha this afternoon going over pack business since so many imported things have been restricted or slowed down because of the rogues. Maybe after dinner we can make plans. That’s really the only time we are all together right now.”
We get a thumbs up from Jena as she moves to the desk and opens her laptop then logs into the desktop. Her fingers are flying away on the keyboard, moving between the two devices.
“Is there anything we can do to help with supplies? That is one of Lil’s specialties.”
“Not sure, I think the twins have it handled. I mean I haven’t seen any shortages yet, but we can mention it to them.”
I just nod not really knowing how to respond.
After about ten minutes of silence, the only sounds are our breathing and the keys, Jena looks up.
“Alright I have all of the cameras on a loop for now. I’ll get a loop of the office empty here soon. Then we should be good to go. It doesn’t appear that any of them are recording sound, but the microphone was on when we walked in, which means someone is trying to record conversations. I have control of that as well. It’s just static now. That will eat up all the storage they are recording on and whoever it is will need to come and try to fix it sooner rather than later.”
She takes a deep breath. “I want to connect to the signals on the cameras in the hallways and we will need to do a full sweep of the school. I wonder if there are any cameras in the bathrooms or locker rooms too. It’s disgusting, but blackmail always needs proof and your little girlfriend has some kind of leverage on people to get them to do what she wants.”
“With the kind of pull her dad has, it wouldn’t surprise me.”
Lil says, seriously.
“We also need to make sure that this isn’t different people.”
I roll my eyes at their looks. “I hate the b*tch, but I’m not going to assume this is all her and her dad. Everytime we find something, this whole thing seems bigger than just the two of them. Maybe it’s connected or maybe we just have more than one sh*tty person in our pack. But I won’t just try to target because I don’t like them.”
“Let’s go figure out how deep your leech is in this then.”
Lil jumps from her spot on the edge of Jena’s desk, slapping
Mateo on the back.
“You need to stay here and figure out how someone got in here and how to prevent it without making any noticeable changes.”
I look at her.
“Ugh! Boring. We already know they came in through the window. And that is an easy fix.”
“What?! How do you know?” Oliver seems genuinely curious.
“This window was set up to be accessed from the inside or the outside. The way the latch sits here, it can be flipped from this spot on the outside of the window.”
She quickly goes through what she is explaining. “Either someone was planning to break into the school or whoever designed this office wanted to be able to get in and out without detection and the first thing any intelligent person would do is check the locks on the windows and doors.”
“Can you look at all the windows here and at the pack house for the same features? I’m curious, now that you are bringing it up.”
Mateo asks.
“Sure. It will be easier when Nathaniel and Wyatt can be here. They will help this process go faster.”
“Who are they?” Oliver almost keeps the jealous tone out of his voice. My brother is not successful at all and I smile.
