Omega and the feat - Hookhill 2

~*~Reed's P.O.V.~*~

It was early in the morning when I woke up to the sound of a hurried knock on the door before Angus's head poked through a narrow crack that cast a streak of light into the room.

Ryan was clinging to me, him being quite restless and worried most of the night since yesterday's quarrel and everything with Benjamin.

"Something has happened," Angus signed to me not to wake Ryan."You must come."

I nodded before I pried myself free from Ryan's hard grip, kissing his cheek before I tucked him in under the thick covers. Mr. Sparkles moved to lie down close to his chest, blinking at me.

I reached for my clothes from yesterday that hung over the back of a chair before I left the room in a hurry.

"What is it?"

"There has been another attack," Angus said seriously. "Rogers called on your phone but you forgot it downstairs."

"When did this happen?"

"Barely thirty minutes ago I would guess. He asked us to come to the scene of the accident."

"Any witnesses?"

"A few. It's close to the nightclub, behind the mall. You know by the loading dock into the warehouse."

"What did the victim do there?"

"They were chased there." I met his serious look. "Reed, we have to make a decision about Benjamin now."

"Ben will continue with these deeds whether we give him Benjamin or not," I said as I dressed on the go. "Rather, we'll have to make a decision HOW to stop him."

"Benjamin told Ryan how he could try to make things better."

"Do you believe that?"

"I don't know," he shrugged. "But no, he would not be able to resist his alpha's demand. Just look how strongly he reacts to what Ben has ordered him to not talk about. He's too fragile."

Alex was already waiting for us down the hall. Otto would stay back at the estate but head outside with those who were on guard duty out in the reserve. Geneviève seemed to be awake too and I asked her to keep an eye on Ryan if he woke up.

Adam and Vivian would keep an eye on Benjamin while we were away. But it was obvious how this troubled everyone.

"Will we be okay?" Vivian asked low, not really daring to confess her worry. "Or are we in danger?"

"I hope not," I said, giving her a smile. "Keep in touch if Benjamin speaks."

"Yes, alpha."

There were several police cars at the scene of the accident whose flashing lights filled the area with an ominous glow. We exited the car and pushed ourselves forward among curious onlookers. It seemed to be mostly people from the nightclub, more or less drunk, as well as several curious reporters.

The police had once again cordoned off the area and prepared to have it cleaned up when we reached them. I ducked under the tape.

"Mr. Hook," Rogers said with a troubled frown. "I thought it would calm down by now."

"Me too, sir," I said with my eyes fixed on a large pool of blood. A serious injury caused so much blood loss.

"It isn't a beautiful sight," he sighed. "Those poor things."

"How many victims?"

"Two. A man and a woman. The woman's entire abdomen was ripped open. If she survives the night, I'll leave unsaid."
