Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 0070 

The girl hangs from a tree branch with a rope around her neck, her long dark hair covers her face and she has the letter J carved into her abdomen. It’s not hard to miss the message. She looks very similar to me and the J has to be 

for Josie. 

“Mason give me your phone,” I pat his pockets in search of it. He reaches around to his back pocket and hands it 

to me. 

“Call Deacon and tell him to lift the wards, we are porting out of here now,” he orders. 

“Okay,” I nod, not fully sure what he’s on about but there’s something I need to do first. I open the camera and start snapping pictures of the body. 

“What the fuck are you doing you psycho?” Mason snatches the phone from me. 

“I’m not done,” I try to take the phone back. 

“Yes, you are,” he growls, “I’m deleting that shit off my phone,” 

“Mason, how many people can we really trust right now?” ask him. 

“None without screening them,” he frowns. 

“Then give me back the phone, there is evidence right in front of us and I can tell you a lot about that body by looking at it, which I’m guessing we don’t have time to do, so let me take the damn pictures so I can examine them when we are somewhere safe,” I hold out my hand for the phone and he gives it to me with a sigh. “I need to get around the back,” I say and attempt to move but Mason grips my arm. 

“We are not moving until the others arrive, call Deacon, and then you can get your photos” he grunts. 

“Why can’t you call him?” 

“Because I’m trying to listen for any threats, make the call he huffs. 

“Fine,” I click on his recently dialled and Deacon is the first name, I press it and put it to my ear. 

“What’s wrong?” he snaps down the line before it even does one full ring. 

“Oh, hi, erm, so we kind of found a body in the woods and Mason said I need to call you to lift the wardrobe or something.” I say nervously. 

“The wards for fuck sake,” Mason curses. 

“The wards,” I repeat. 

“I heard, okay it’s done, come straight to my office, I’ll get a team to your location,” he says as Luke, Axel and Theo run through the bushes. I watch as their faces take in the scene, a mix of shock, horror and disgust. 

“Okay, see you in a few minutes,” 

“Now, Josie, you will see me in less than 5 seconds,” he barks down the phone. 

“Make it 30,” I say and quickly end the call. 

Mason man handles me to meet with the others and I quickly snap pictures of the body from behind. 

“Let’s get out of here. Where did he say to go?” Mason asks

“His office, can someone quickly give me a boost up there 1 point to the body. I think I can just about reach her ankle if one of them lifts me. 

“Absolutely not. Luke, the wards are lifted, get us to Deacur’s office now,” Mason demands and grips me tightly against him. 

“I need to check something just let me touch her for 2 seconds,” I protest but it’s too late. Mason releases me and I crumple on the floor of Mr Collins‘ office. 

“Welcome back to Greys Academy,” Clarrisa’s chipper voice greets us and if I wasn’t too busy trying to keep my food in my stomach I’d tell her to fuck off.
