Kian pov
Jessie pushes by me and walks over to where Cannon is standing.
"This is Elijah's office!" she says and I can't help but growl out loud.
"You're telling me Elijah is behind all this?" I say through gritted teeth and have to clench my hands into fists. When I get a hold of him he won't take another breath.
"yes, it is! But why would he be involved in this? He's just a human!" Jessie says when I see Cannon walk inside the office and we all walk closer to see him sniff around at everything before he comes to stand right in front of us in the doorway.
"He's a vampire! Who can mask his scent, something strange is going on here!" Cannon says when I try to remember if I noticed anything when I met him that day in the meeting room.
"I didn't pick up anything strange about him when we met at the meeting!" I say in anger and look at Cannon. How is it possible for us all to miss it? He has been right under our nose and none of us was alarmed about him!
"you ain't the only one! And we have been working with him for a very long time and none of us has noticed anything unusual" Zoey says and start to walk back and forth in the hallway.
"I know where his apartment is! But it's highly unlikely he has taken her there!" Jessie says and turns around in the hallway and starts to walk towards the elevator.
"Where are you going?" Zoey asks when we all start to walk after her.
"I'm going over there right now to look for any trace of where he has taken her and when I get a hold of that piece of shit he won't take another breath!" she says in anger and pushes the button repeatedly to the elevator.
"it doesn't help if you break the button!" Zoey says to her.
"I shouldn't have let her go alone when we knew she was under a threat! And how the fuck can we have missed what he is for all this fucking time we have been working here! We are supposed to protect her and keep her safe and what a fucking good job we have done!" Jessie burst out and curse a long sentence after.
"you are not alone in missing it! We all have missed it. But right now we have to focus and find all traces we can to save her! So pull your shit together Jessie!" Zoey barks out when the elevator arrives and the doors open.
She pushes by her and gets inside before we walk after her.
Seeing Declan pull her inside before the doors close and Zoey presses the button to the entrance floor.
"if it helps you to feel better about all this Selena has missed it too," Zoey says when the elevator starts to go down. Hearing Jessie curse again out loud.
"No, it doesn't! We shouldn't have let her go by herself since we heard what the rogue said!" Jessie says and it has me thinking.
"what if this isn't connected with the rogues!" I mind link Cannon and Declan
"or what if it is just that! Why would the vampires get together with the rogues?" Declan mind link back
"I thought they learned the last time they tried to invade our country. And the agreement they signed I have a hard time believing they would risk it all!" I mind link them when we have reached the entrance floor and the doors are opened. We make our way out of the building and head to the parking lot. Jessie turns to look at us when we are outside the building and have reached the cars.
"Whatever you are not telling us we need to know!" she says and stands in front of the cars with her arms crossed over her chest.
