191- Technology and teamwork


    It’s another long night of watching Kiara sleep. It’s boring, but also kind of soothing because at least if


    she’s asleep I know that no one is hurting her or traumatising her any more than they already have. I


    sort of zone in and out. Sometimes watching her and sometimes properly sleeping myself in blissful


    ckness. I wake up properly and I can immediately tell that it is WAY too early to be up. With a groan I


    roll away from Bemy and grab my phone. Ugh, it’s not even five am yet. This is disgusting. But I went


    to bed so early there is no way I am going to get back to sleep. Bemy hasn’t woken up and is still


    sleeping heavily. I think he didn’t sleep as much as I did yesterday so he probably needs it more than I


    did. I decide to use the time to sneak downstairs and look at some of the emails from Shifters asking


    for assistance. I haven’t gotten to spend a lot of time on them the past couple of days. I get out of bed,


    careful not to disturb Bemy and I stop to pull on a pair of socks before heading downstairs because


    my feet are kind of cold and I haven’t reced my unicorn slippers since the incident at my old ce


    where I got blood on them. I creep down the stairs and I stop off in the kitchen to make myself a hot


    chocte before heading to make myselffortable in Bemy’s office.


    1 answer a few emails, sticking to the ones I’mfortable answering without asking Bemy for


    further information and I write draft responses for a couple to confirm with Bemyter before I send


    them. It’s just after six am when Bemyes downstairs looking for me. He finds me in his office


    and greets me with a k*ss on the top of my head.


    “Morning love. Did you sleep well?” He asks, his voice still rough from sleep.


    “Yeah, Kiara was resting most of the night so I was able to get at least a little bit of proper sleep. How


    about you?” I return the question. Bemy smiles sweetly.


    “I always sleep well when you’re with me.” He answers. He leans over my shoulder to see what I’m


    doing and I show him the emails that I wrote. With a few adjustments I send them off and conclude I’ve


    been productive enough for it being so early in the morning. Bemy and I work together to make


    breakfast, it’ste enough now that Megan and Darrien will probably be up soon. We make more food


    than I would have guessed four people can eat, but I guess three of those people are Shifters with


    extra fast metabolisms so it makes sense. Darrien appears in the kitchen about forty seconds after I


    start frying bacon. No surprise there. Megan joins us not long after. We discuss our ns to try the


    tracking spell today and Darrien updates us on the arrangements he made to get a team with us for


    tracking and hopefully finding and rescuing Kiara. We’re expecting a visit from Alex any time now. He


    stayed upte working on Cheryl’sputer and phone so we figure he will turn up when he is ready


    and then we can continue to n from there. Once we’ve spoken to Alex I’m going to try to speak to


    Kiara, then I can use the tracking spell and we will just have to hope for the best.


    Megan and Darrien are just washing up the dishes from breakfast when Alex knocks at the front door. I


    let him in and he settles at the dining room table with Cheryl’sptop and phone in front of him.


    “So, I didn’t really find much in her phone. I suspect she must have a second disposable one


    somewhere that she dumped before we found her. All the messages and calls in this one seem to be


    on the up and up. Mostly just to her workce. Herputer was a little more interesting. I managed


    to find a series of messages back and forth in a chat online. None of the information is particrly


    revealing but they do mention a date and time which I think fairly well lines up with when Miss Gale’s


    home/was vandalised. The chat hasn’t been used in weeks so I suspect that after that day they


    changed tomunicating with throwaway phones or magical means.” He exins. Huh, I mean I was


    kind


    i


    of hoping that he would find some message with an exact address, or at least a name. But it seems


    that Cheryl and this other woman were fairly cautious damn them.


    “Is there anything else relevant?” Bemy asks.


    191- Technology and teamwork.


    “Well, aside from an attachment with a file that contains an obsessed stalker level amount of research


    about Miss Gale, Alpha Kane, Miss Kane and the girl Kiara, there is one other thing in the chat. It


    doesn’t actually tell us where to look, but when they were talking about vandalising Miss Gale’s home,


    the other woman wrote ‘at least it won’t be a long drive to get there.“” Alex adds.


    “Ah, implying that the other person lives reasonably close.” I conclude and Alex nods.


    “So we should start the tracking spell from your old ce.” Megan adds cheerfully. SHe seems awfully


    happy given we’re about to attempt a rescue operation. I think maybe she is as hopeful as I am that we


    can finally end this. Save Kiara and get our freedom back. She isn’t enjoying being cooped up. She


    likes to go out a lot more than I do and I think she’s struggling with it. Not that she’sining. But


    she’s been restless. I think she wants to go for a run in her feline form, but even going out on a rescue


    mission is appealing to her at this point if only because it provides a


    chance to leave the house.


    Alex confirms that he has nothing else useful to contribute and then Bemy sends him home to sleep.


    He stayed up most of the night going through each and every file and message on Cheryl’s devices


    and at this point he is practically asleep on his feet. I think if we left him unattended he would probably


    fall asleep on the dining room table. I suspect it’s only his anxiety around Bemy that is keeping him


    from dropping off right now, Bemy and Darrien call the team that will be going with us. I head upstairs


    and have a super quick shower. I don’t even wash my hair! Once I’m dressed and have my wet hair


    wrapped in a towel. Iy back in the bed to try and contact Kiara. I manage it faster than I ever have


    before. Maybe because for once, I don’t have any other thoughts in my head. All I am thinking or


    worrying about is Kiara. Or maybe the connection between us is getting stronger. I can only hope so, it


    makes it more likely the spell will seed. Kiara seems aware that I’m watching because she is talking


    quietly to me, telling me about all the strange Witchy type stuff in the basement. Or maybe she’s just


    been talking to me the whole time in the hopes that I might be listening. I don’t want to say too much or


    hold the connection too long as I always end up exhausted afterwards and I have a lot to do today if


    we’re going to find her. Still, I want her to know we’reing. I want her thinking about me and


    focussing on it, it gives the spell the best chance of working. So I push one word.
