Chapter 207

“Yes, it is.” I said before we hung up.

“I think I have it set up. Each van holds six. However, we are going to try to shove eight or more depending on size. I drew a line under each section. If we have three vans and Penny sends us some…”

“This will still take us hours.” I concluded. Emmy nodded as she emailed over her list to Penny.

“What do we do now?” Emmy asked.

“I guess I need to mind-link the entire pack and tell them to gather at the front of the packhouse in twenty minutes.” I hadn’t done this yet and I’m not sure I know how.

“Yeah, make sure you put some authority and urgency in it.” Emmy looked at me with concern.

Nodding, I prepared myself. Closing my eyes, I focused on expanding and opened my mind-link to the entire pack. “Attention everyone! We will be evacuating all women, child and elderly that are unable to defend themselves. Report to the front of the packhouse in twenty minutes.” I commanded. I was met with a series of ‘yes, luna’ before I closed it.

“Was that okay?” I asked Emmy.

“Yeah. That go the point across.”

“I guess we need to head down there and be ready.” I said the words but my feet didn’t move.

“I’ll stay beside you.” Emmy held out her hand to me.

“Thank you.” Taking a deep breath, I took her hand and we walked out into the hallway. The entire atmosphere was completely different. It was panic and chaos. More than once, we were bumped into as we made our way to the foyer by people`running around.

“Everyone listen!” I heard Alec speak with so much authority that I was even surprised. This is the first time I heard him speak this way. “Make sure you have all your required equipment. Double check everything!” We walked into the foyer and Alec immediately saw me. We made eye contact before he continued on. “Review the plans and pee if you need to. It will be hours before you are allowed to do so.”

We stopped walking and stood in the back. Everyone was shoulder to shoulder as they moved around and tightened straps on each other backs. Dressed in all black, their combat clothes looked lethal. Most had face coverings that were pushed down around their necks. Others just had painted some black and green around their faces.

Alec came around to us. “What are you doing?”

པ +15 BONUS “Going to the foyer to put people in the correct order.” I said with a little shakiness. This was the first time I was being seen by the pack and I was getting sympathy looks from pretty much everyone.

“Come on.” Alec took my hand and walked us to the front door and out into the porch. He had changed into black combat pants and had a spandex black long sleeve shirt on. His face had some green and black paint on it.

“I thought you weren’t going.” I said looking at him.

“I’m not, I am prepared just in case there is something happening here.” Alec answered without looking at me. There was already a few people in the distance walking to the pack house. “I have four vans coming to transport people. There wasn’t any SUVs left.”

“That is fine. I figured as much.”

“You are doing great.” Alec said without looking at me.

“I’m still missing something and we both know who knows what that is.”

“Leave it to me. You focus on getting everyone out of here.” Alec said.

“Kristen!” Luna Erin came out of the packhouse in a run.

“Mom.” Alec said with a clear annoyance.

“I’m here to help.” She said giving Alec an annoyed look.

The vans pulled around. “Penny is sending more vans as well. They are traveling the road to make sure it is safe.” I said to Alec, ignoring Luna Erin.

“That is good. It will speed it up.”

“Emmy, why don’t you and Luna Erin start sorting people out into their groups. Assign them a place to stand and wait.” I told Emmy.
