My Mate: The Player

Chapter 10 - Rescue Plan

Jake's P.O.V

The morning after Becca was taken...

    I have been in my office all night looking at maps and trying to figure out how to get Becca back, but nothing is going right. I start to throw everything around. I already broke my chair. Every once in a while when I get frustrated I break a shelf on the book shelves that I have behind my desk. I only have three shelves that are still standing. I've flipped the other chairs and couches over and destroyed the pillows and cushion. I have the stuffing and feathers all over my office. All that stands is my desk and computer. 

    There's a knock at the door, but I choose to ignore it and hope that they go away. But unfortunately they enter, but it's Holden so I hold back any anger about him interrupting me. "Hey, man. You really need to get some food and water. Maybe even take a nap real quick or at least a break from looking at all this stuff. Or have some of us help you. We love Becca too and we want get her back just as bad as you."

    His little speech just gets me riled up again. "How dare you! I want her more, hell it's more than that I need her. She is the best thing to ever happen to me! I won't be able to handle it if anything more happens to her. This never should have happened. Not to her." I sink down on to the floor in front of my desk.

    "All I'm saying is you need to rest a little. You are not going to be any help to Becca if you are too tired to carry her home." Holden tries to convince me.

    "You're right." I whisper. "You guys look at the maps and try to figure something out. I'm going to eat something and then lay down for a little bit, but don't let me sleep more than four hours. We need to save Becca." I slowly stand up and head downstairs.

     I can see that everyone is just as devastated as me that Becca is gone. I can tell that some people have been crying just like I have. They all give me sympathetic looks. When I get to the kitchen I can see that Sarah is cooking breakfast for everyone. When we make eye contact I know that we both can see our bloodshot eyes. She stops what she's doing and hugs me. To my surprise I hug her back. We take a moment to miss Becca together. Soon she let's go and goes back to preparing breakfast. I grab a plate of food and sit at the counter to eat real quick. Out of the corner of my eye I can see Warrior Shawn Connor rush in and upstairs. I'm sure to help Holden figure something out. I finish eating say thank you to Sarah and then head up to my room. 

Three hours later...

    I slowly start open my eyes. Strange, I don't even remember falling asleep. I definitely feel refreshed though and now I have to quickly get back to finding my Becca. I get up and quickly change my clothes. I run to my office to see Shawn, Connor, and Holden all huddled around my desk. They all look up at me as I barged in. "Did you guys find her or have anything about how to get her back?" I ask, sadly.

    "I think we found her son. But we are going to need a really good plan to get her out and find specifically where she is." Shawn tells me as I walk closer to look at the map.

    "Her scent was so faint that I could barely follow it, but with the help of Connor I was able to keep track of it. They went East about thirty minutes. That's why they were able to distract us and capture Becca at the same time. While we were all busy fighting and protecting the pack. Chase and Sally were able to break in through the chaos." I growl a little at the thought of Connor smelling out for my mate.

    "Sorry, I know you're just trying to help. I can't help it sometimes." I apologize quickly for my outburst. "Okay and you guys saw their camp?" I get back to the issue at hand.

    "Yes we saw it. It's not as big as he is leading on. He has a decent number yes, but if we went there and caught them all off guard then we would be able to take them with no problems."

    "There's no doubt that Chase is keeping Becca as close to him as he can." I say with disgust. 

    We continue to talk about how we want to go in and get her back. We go over and over every possible outcome to make sure that we pick the best and safest plan we can think of. After hours are debating and planning, Sarah comes in with dinner. After she sets it down she goes straight to Connor. Seeing them together makes me miss Becca even more and what we used to have. I angrily walk over to the big windows that look over the back yard. I can feel the heat rising up my neck into my face. I feel Holden's presence next to me.

    "We're going to get her back, I promise my life on it." Holden says and all I can do is nod my head in response.

    We all eat dinner in silence. Everyone is in so much pain without Becca. She brings so much light and joy into everyone's life that everyone suffers without her. Sarah takes all the plates and leaves. That's when we all get back to coming up with the perfect plan.

    "Okay, so we leave a hundred warriors here to protect the house just in case, can never be to be careful. Then we take the other four hundred with us. That's double the amount that Chase has so we should be good in that area. Then Jake and Holden you two are going to go search Chase's house and surrounding buildings that he has to find Becca. As soon as you find her and she's safe then signal and we all head back home. Agreed?" Shawn explains one last time to make sure that we are all on board of our basic plan to get Becca back.

    "Agreed." The rest of us say.

    "Great then two days from now we attack at three a.m." We all nod.

    "Becca here we come." I say to myself.
