I held up my hand for Skyler to stop talking
when my dad pulled into the garage on the side by side.
It might not matter to Skyler if other people knows he hooked up with Penny when they were sixteen. But that doesn't mean Penny wouldn't be embarrassed if others found out she was casually having sex with him at sixteen.
" Let's unload all this stuff and take it to my office.." I murmured, patting my little daredevil's thigh, to have her hop off the four wheeler. After helping her down, I climbed off myself.
We all grabbed an arm load of the evidence we had collected from the cave and headed to my office. Once inside I closed the door and we stacked all the evidence neatly in the corne,then everyone took a seat except my dad.
"I'll leave the there of you to sort out all this by yourselves" My dad said, nodding towards the evidence." But don't take to long your mom has mind linked me twice already. She's afraid we have all forgotten about the parade."
He sighed heavily and rubbed his forehead like he was getting a headache " She'll be on my case if we're late for picking up your grandparents." He grinned "So have fun, I'll see y'all later." He reminded me that this was no longer his headache it was mine now. My dad walked out the door leaving the three of us alone to discuss the situation.
I took my note pad out of my desk, the one I had used this morning when I interviewed Penny. I prompted Skyler to continue with whatever he might know "Now tell me everything you know about Penny's biological father."
"I don't know much about him, just what Penny told me six years ago." Skyler grumbled with a shrug of his shoulders.
" Well as of right now he's the only suspect we have. In not just the attempted kidnapping of Penny's little girl ,but also the kidnapping of Young Alpha Chase."
"What makes you think the two cases are related?" Skyler ask, reminding me that I haven't filled him in on the interview I had with Penny this morning.
"Those black clothes " I said, pointing over in the direction we had stacked all the evidence. "And the lack of scent. Penny told me this morning that the man who tried to grab her daughter was wearing black clothes. And when I ask her if the man was a werewolf or a human she said she didn't know. Her statement told me she couldn't scent him." I took a deep breath and paused a moment letting Skyler absorb what I just said before continuing " The reason I suspected he was a human,was because Penny said she hit him with her purse and he covered his head and ran off. The man made no attempt to defend himself while Penny flogged him with every bit of strength she had.My thoughts at the time when Penny told me this, was that Penny is a small shewolf. Any male werewolf wouldn't have a problem snatching Penny and her little girl up and running off with them.But now I'm not so sure ,since you told me about Penny's biological father. I can't help but wonder if it might have been him and he just didn't make any attempt to defend himself because she's his daughter. His only objective being to snatch the little girl to punish Penny and her mother."
"Did you ask Penny if the man spoke to her? I'm sure if he did ,she would recognize his voice. The reason I'm saying this is because one of those times when I went to her house she was crying. When I ask her why, she told me her biological dad had been calling and threatening to take Felisha to court over child custody. Oh yeah, another thing Penny probably couldn't even hurt a human man by hitting him as hard as she can. Penny has a week wolf, well she used to have. I'm sure her wolf got a little boost when she mated with Milo" Skyler murmured, giving Andie a quick glance he then sent a bit of interesting information through the mind link 'Fucking Penny was almost like fucking a human girl. Once or twice at the most was all she could take.'
"That's interesting'" I hummed and raised a brow towards Skyler. "I didn't ask, if he said anything to her. But I think her biological dad should have cooled off by now. If he was upset about child custody that's a moot subject now. Penny's not a child anymore she's a grown woman with a family of her own .He has no reason anymore to fight with her mother over custody. It's a possibility that he and Penny have patched things up and get along great together now. But there's only one way to find out. I want you to talk to Penny and find out as much as you can about her biological father. Ask about how their relationship is now, ask if she knows where he lives, or if she knows where he works. " I murmured glancing down at my notes I had been taking, remembering one more thing " oh yeah, ask if he's human that could explain why Penny had a week wolf."
Skyler's eyebrows shot up." Why me" he grumbled.
" I believe it would be better if you to ask Penny. She told you about her father as your teenager lover. She trusted you with that information and I believe she would be more forthcoming with you, then she would be with me. Just tell her that you and I are working on her case. Then ask her point blank if it's a possibility that her biological dad was the man who tried to kidnap her daughter."
" I'm not going to her house, Milo is a jealous son of bitch." Skyler protested "When is the next time she's scheduled to work? I'll talk to her in my office."
From my desk drawer I retrieved the work schedule for everyone who works here in the Pack house ,sliding it across my desk for him to take a look himself . " Here find a time and put it in your schedule, the sooner the better."
Skyler studied the schedule for a few seconds, typed into his phone sliding the schedule back across my desk.
"I guess, if you can't think of anything else right now, we're done for today. And we can get started on processing all the evidence we took from the cave tomorrow. Andie and I will take one of those shirts to Jessica for her to run some test on it. And you can take the DNA evidence down to the morgue. Ask Doctor Henderson to work up a DNA profile and send it through the National database along with prints from those bastards."
" When are we going to shoot those Ak-47,s." Skyler murmured, glancing over at the two assault rifles with a mischievous grin.
" Sometime this week." I confirmed. "Now let's go get ready for the parade. My mom is gripping in my head for us to hurry up."
I grabbed a quick shower and put on the black chinos and white button down that my mom insisted I wear .Actuality it was a joint decision between my mom and Skyler's mom, for me and Skyler to dress alike today.
I actually styled my hair again something I usually never do. Ran my trimmer across my stubble, touched up my neck line and sprayed myself with a bit of cologne so that I smell good for my girl. Then I hurried down the hallway to Andie's room.
After a couple sharp taps on Andie's door I heard my sister say " It's open "
She must be playing dress up with my girl again. I wonder what kind of outfit she's put on
Andie this time. After that little naked ass dress she picked for Andie last night I'm a little bit worried about what she's got planned for the parade. I don't want the whole damn town to see my girl naked. Fuck That!
I shoved the door open ready to stand my ground, then my whole world started spinning my girl looked beautiful. Julie had put those big curls back in her midnight black hair pulling it up in a ponytail. She left some small curls loose in the front to frame her gorgeous face.
I believe Julie put some makeup on my girl ,but I can't really tell. Andie's cheeks have a soft rose color to them and her lips look wet.
And best of all, the little black pants suit fits her perfectly and covers most of my girls beautiful skin. The top with the sweetheart neckline fits like the upper part of a wedding dress, only leaving her neck and shoulders exposed. The big white bow on the front covers most of the chest area and the little shirt is the perfect length. Meeting the top of the black straight leg pants right at the waistband. With no risk of exposing her cute little belly.
Instead of those dangerous black sandals with a pointy heels, my girls wearing a more practical black wedge sandal that shows off her little pink polished toes. So fucking adorable.
Glancing down at myself and back up at my girl, I can't stop myself from grinning. Our clothes are matching. What is that girls call it?Oh yeah ,now I remember, couples outfit. I need to check on line to find more of them for us to wear when we appear out in public together.
" Well Zack, don't just stand there gawking say something?" Julie squawked,placing her hand on her hip acting all haughty.
Letting lose a long low whistle, I stepped closer, making a half circle around my girl. Not even trying to pretend that my teenage mate didn't affect me. "You look beautiful sweetheart ." I murmured, held out my hand and waited patiently for her to take it.
She placed her hand in mine, I grinned like a love struck fool when those little tingles danced across my palm and almost sighed out loud when that warm fuzzy feeling started traveling up my arm.
I gave her hand a little tug and head out the door shouting over my shoulder at my sister. "Thanks."
"I didn't do much, she's a beautiful little treasure. But you're welcome anyway." I heard Julie shout back.
We made our way down the stairs to the front entrance. Where my other family members and Skyler's family stood waiting on us, so we could all leave together.
All four generations of the Randolph family Alpha's and their Luna climb into the black of a stretch limousine parked at the entrance.
With both sets of my maternal grandparents, my sister and her husband in a limousine right behind us.
Skyler, his sister Addison and three generations of the Johnson family Betas all climbed inside a different limousine behind my maternal grandparents.
Warriors dressed in black uniforms rode in the Escalades as escorts . One Escalade in front of the limousine I was in and one behind the limousine Skyler was in. Reporters from paws magazine traveled behind everyone else snapping pictures left and right.
It was a big deal, this is the first time in history four generations from the same Alpha and Beta bloodline has ever served the same pack. All my paternal grandparents and Skyler's have been best friends every since Great Grandpa James built the Pack House here in Alaska.
With all the security and the press we looked like the presidential motorcade . We headed down the driveway and turned in the direction of our small town, the sight before me made my heart swell with pride.
Our Pack members stood out lining both sides of the road all the way into town. Some just waved and others held onto big signs that said (Welcome to the Parade Alpha Zack and Beta Skyler it's our honor to have you as our leaders.) Awesome!
Our motorcade came to a stop right in front of the city hall where the big wooden stage had been placed on the front lawn.
Everyone exited the cars and moved towards the stage where we will all sit and enjoy the parade. Everyone expected my maternal grandparents who will be seated on a separate platform next to us.
A long table covered with a white table cloth and decorated with white flowers and black candles was placed right in the middle of stage.
Bottles of wine,chilled in ice buckets about every three feet from each other ran down the length of the table. No doubt a gift from Mr. Wheeler, who makes the best homemade wine in the country. Well of course that's just my opinion, but he never fails to win first place at the fall harvest festival.
