Channing smiled, finally seeing how I was on the better-thinking ground than before. He patted my shoulders, "That would be a good start. Also, I wanted to let you know that Zelda was put into the prison by so technically no law or court can free her unless I agree to it."
"What?" I asked, getting more confused than I already was.
"See, when an Alpha orders imprisonnt without making a case with the police, it is not official rather a matter of security," Channing explained. "Like the eight followers of John who put into prison, it is registered in the prison case but not in the police case. Exactly the sa with Zelda's case."
My brows creased, trying to grasp the situation, "So you an to say that Zelda would never get a court bail without your permission?"
"True," Channing agreed imdiately, "the police are not allowed to interfere. But Jack had quite so nerves."
He looked in the direction of the police station, the muscle at the back of his jaw bone clenching with anger. I could understand he was not pleased with what had happened and was waiting for the right opportunity to have Jack in a trap. I exhaled with a different kind of motivation as the gears in my mind started rotating, "Okay, I know what I need to do."
"Do you?" Channing asked, raising his eyebrows.
I nodded with a smile, pretty confident of what I had just thought, "I do."
"Pry tell what it is?" Channing inched closer, and I unconsciously gulped seeing his grey eyes attentively look at .
I cleared my throat before slowly drawling my words, "I will go to the prison supervisor, get proof that Zelda is not here, then to the court to get proof that Zelda was bailed without your permission. And..." I thought for a second more before sighing and hurrying my words with a wave of my hand, "Well, that would have Jack in a cri. I would be happy and then I will bring Zelda here. With the main criminal in the hands, we will try to solve the situation from escalating further."
Channing looked at with awe, "That is quite a nice plan. I hope it goes smoothly."
"Why won't it go smoothly?" I asked, because I sensed a tease in his words.
Channing shrugged, "I just think it would be hard to find Zelda."
I sighed, "We'll see about that later. Right now, I need to change and start with my investigation. I hope you will take care of the things here well, Alpha Channing."
"Yes Beta Selene," Channing did a salute to before waving a bye, "I will go to the gym and see how the new training is coming along." That was one of the things I would probably miss out on, even though I was the one who had started it. Nevertheless, I knew that Channing would be aiming to grow the pack more in the coming days with it.
I smiled back at him, "Thank you." There was a little taunt laced in my appreciation, and Channing did not miss it.
We turned our different ways before I heard Channing call , "Selene." I turned around to look at him and his lips were set in a thin line, "I am really sorry for what I did there." His hand pointed to the police station, and it was obvious what he was talking about.
"Okay," I could not reply with 'it was fine' because it truly wasn't.
But there were no more words that were exchanged between us as I turned and headed to my house. I was feeling a little unstable and now that I think about it, that feeling was probably because of Ellie and Sam. I wanted to save them and everything in front of just seed heavy. As if I carried a huge weight on my back while climbing up a mountain. I always knew it was going to be a tough mission, but I was not ready to lose people.
I unlocked the door to my house and closed it before I rested my back against the main door. My eyes closed as I took in a deep breath.
As I exhaled, I opened my eyes and headed straight to my bedroom.
I picked up comfortable bell-bottom jeans and a turtleneck. The mark had always be conscious of what I used to wear. The weather was getting cold and gloomy. Soon it would start raining, so I wore my overcoat and tagged an umbrella with .
I left my house and made my way to the prison. On my way, I noticed the police station's door was now opened, and it just made vexed rembering how Jack had closed it.
It took a long ti to reach the prison as it was located at the far corner of our village, beyond the agricultural land.
I went inside and luckily the gatekeeper recognised as the Beta, "Beta Selene, what brings you here?" He had an oddly sunny smile on his face, and it made feel a bit uncomfortable
"Yeah, I was here to et the prison supervisor," I said.
"Oh, he -uh- is not here," the guard replied, "He was actually at the hospital with miss Suzan. Is it sothing urgent? Do you want to call him here?"
"That would be very much appreciated," I said with a smile, "It is quite urgent."
The guard opened the door for and an eerie silence braced my ears, which I had experienced here even when I was locked up. He pointed inside showing directions, "Go straight from here and take a right. The first door would be the supervisor's room. I will call him imdiately."
"Thank you," I smiled at him as I stepped inside and he pulled the door to shut behind .
I walked as I was instructed and found the prison supervisor's room with a big naplate which was slid into the place made for it 'GALE BRAYDON'
I gingerly opened the door, not knowing whether I was allowed to do that because there was literally no one around. I stepped inside the room, which was neatly kept with plants at the two corners behind the main chair for the supervisor and a steel table in front of which were the typical steel chairs of the prison, but in a good shape. There were large drawer cupboards and only one shelf behind the main seat, which was filled with books and it was well kept, unlike what I saw in the police station.
I took a seat on one of the chairs and waited. The wall clock was showing the ti 10:30 right now, and I closed my eyes, knowing it would take Suzan's dad so ti to co here from the hospital.
In the next ten minutes, the door to the room flew open, and I jolted in my seat.
"Beta Selene," ca a hoarse and heavy voice and I got up to see Suzan's father holding a big grin on his face, "I have been so eager to et you since my daughter introduced you as her best friend."
