Selena pov
Turning around I look between the houses and try to figure out where she can be.
"I'm in the one behind the house we found the girls in. The second floor!" she says in the mind link and I am quick to cut the link and start to rush over there.
Finding the house I get inside and make my way up the stairs I find to my left when I enter the house. Looking in the first room I find she isn't there and quickly get out and look inside the next room. There are only empty beds in the rooms and some clothes, nothing else!
"I'm here!" she says and I follow her voice down the hallway until I come inside a large room with a big table and some chairs around.
I halt in my track when my eyes land on the walls and the table in the middle of the room. On the walls are maps and papers pinned. The table has folders, notebooks, and papers spread all around.
"what's all of this?" I ask her and start to walk over to the first wall and look at the map.
"From what I have managed to get out of all of this. There are notes on people they have kidnapped and in what villages they have been. Which targets they are planning to get and here are the most interesting of it all!" she says and points to a folder on the table.
I walk over to where she is standing and look at the table.
My eyes are about to fall out of their sockets when my eyes land on the folder.
"This is seriously good stuff! When can't leave any of this behind!" I say and look at everything in the room. To take all of this down without ripping it to pieces will take some time.
"yeah I figured!" she says and places her hands on her hips. I guess she understands how long it probably will take.
"did you find anything else in the other houses?" I ask her and she shakes her head.
"I came here and found this when it's only the house behind left to search!" she says and we have to look at that house two.
"Alright, let's get started with this one first. We start to take down from one wall at a time and place them in a pile before going to the next!" I tell her and head over to the largest one first and start to take the first map down.
"I will go and find something we can place all of this in!" she says and heads out of the room while I take down the next one. I got a moment for myself and manage to get from half of the wall when she comes walking back inside with a large bag in her hands.
"I hope we can fit everything inside of this one!" she says and places it on the table before walking over and helping me take down the rest from the wall.
"if it doesn't fit we can take the rest in our hands but I think we will manage!" I say and place the first pile down in the bag.
Only three more walls left and the table!
Walking over to the next wall I start to look it over and take down the first map when I stop. My eyes land on a map I know all too well, walking over to it I start to search for their notes.
"look here!" I say to Jessie when she walks up beside me and looks at the map I'm pointing at. On it is a map of our pack lands and the surrounding forest. It has the cave and the area behind it. Our pack lands are marked as dangerous swamps that they should avoid. The interesting is the mark on the other side of the cave and it has to be some notes we can find here that can explain what lies on the other side.
"I'll be damned!" Jessie says when she sees what I mean.
"I bet there are some notes here that can explain the cave!" I say before starting to take down the papers beside and she starts with the map.
"I wonder why they have all these notes up here and so far away from our lands!" she says and that's a question that has me puzzled too. It would take them several days to run over to our pack lands and the cave. It's not like they would be able to run back and forth once a week.
"the answer might be with all these notes. Make sure they are all with us in the bag. We can't leave a thing behind!" I say and get to the next map.
We work with the wall for what feels like ages before everything is folded and placed in the bag.
