Gavin had been asked why he wasn't at the house when the cured were released. He had told them he went home to sleep. He told them how he had woken up late and left for work as quickly as he could. Even showed them that he tried to call Scott to let him know he was on his way.

They had believed him. There was no one to say otherwise either way. Now he was burning the dead bodies of the cured. It made him sick to his stomach the first time. He threw up behind a tree and cried.

Children. The children were the hardest. They had lists of the missing cured, even the international ones. He even kept up with the mess Axel was making through Florida. He got away every time, Gavin didn't know if he should laugh or be afraid.

"Gavin, they are looking for you inside", one of his coworkers said.

He nodded and walked into the building. The smell of the burning bodies never left his clothes, taking it home with him. He stopped when two men in suits turned to him.

"Can I help you?", he asked.

One man nodded.

"You were the one that was in the house Charles was keeping patients zero?", one asked.

He nodded. The other man lifted a photo of an I.D.

"Do you recognize this woman as one of them?", he asked.

Gavin shook his head no.

"Charles kept men, not women.", he answered, which was true for the bit.

The man didn't look like he believed him.

"Do you know her?", he asked.

"No sir. I would tell you if I did", Gavin said.

The man nodded. He handed Gavin a card.

"If you remember anything, call me. Maybe Charles mentioned it in passing and you've just forgotten.", the other said.

Gavin nodded as he looked at the card. He placed it in his back pocket.

"I should get back to work", Gavin said.

They nodded as he left. He couldn't believe she would use her real I.D. Then he wondered if maybe something happened to Angelo or Lilly. She wouldn't give away where she was if it wasn't important.

He watched the men walk out and drive away. He had to get to Lena before these men did.


After figuring out who would ride where, squishing adults into cars. Some wanted to stay behind to help Jax and Kace with the new cured arriving.

"Angelo", Kace called.

Angelo turned. Kace walked up with a beautiful young woman.

"Angelo Rollins, meet my girl, Taya. Taya, Angelo", Kace introduced.

"Its nice to meet you, Kace talks about you all the time. I almost thought you weren't real", she giggled.

Angelo smiled.

"Its nice to meet you too. Do me a favor and take care of this one, huh.", Angelo said.

Kace chuckled.

"Oh, I will", she said.

Kace kissed the side of her head.

"So will you be coming with us too, or will you be staying?", Angelo asked.

"We discussed it and I should stay. We need money coming in and no one knows about me and Kace. Its not much that I make, but it can buy food. Gas to get you back and forth", she said.

Angelo nodded.

"Which reminds me", she said, pulling out her wallet and handing Angelo a wad of cash.

"For gas and food on the way. It will be a seventeen hour trip. I'm sure you all will be stopping to stretch your legs and let the kids get some fresh air", Kace said.

"Kace", Taya stopped Angelo.

"We are family. Its cruel what the government is doing. We need it to stop", Taya said.

"Thank you", Angelo replied.

She nodded. Henry Helmsley poked his head out of the rv.

"Everyone is ready to go", he said.

Angelo nodded. He hugged Kace and Jax. For now Kace was staying here, as more people arrived, Kace would drive them down to Wyoming.

"Be careful", Angelo said to them.

"You too", Jax said.

Angelo got into the rv. Eli and Nathan smiled at him as they played with the other kids. Everyone had been given walkies for when someone had to stop.

"Its going to be a long drive. If you need to switch, let me know", Angelo said to Henry.

He nodded. Henry's wife, Rachel was asleep with their daughter. It had been a long night. She couldn't sleep because she was afraid someone would come and raid the warehouse.

Kace and Jax had assured her it was safe and they had look outs just in case something happened.


Lena had helped Devin clean out a few of the cabins. Rob Corbin, the owner of the camp grounds had gone to buy groceries. Wanting to stock the fridges for when everyone got here.

"I drove the car to the next town, in case someone came looking for it", Devin said.

"When did you do this?", she asked.

"Early morning. I couldn't sleep, I figured if they found the car in the woods, this would be the first place they search. So I drove it to the next town. I ran back, you'll be surprised at the speed we have", he said.

"We should test out how we function.", Lena said.

"I wouldn't mind being the test monkey", Devin chuckled.

Lena nodded.

"Lets finish here and then we can go into the woods and figure this out", she said.

He nodded.


Axel was living with his pack in the woods in a broken down cabin. His girl was pregnant, they had just found out. He had also found another woman that he had the same connection he had with Torrie. He shouldn't say the same, because it really wasn't. It was less strong, but he still kept her.

Keeping both women satisfied. He walked out of the cabin, the men sitting around a fire and laughing.

"Alpha", one man said, standing.

Axel smirked and approached them.

"What now? We can't go into the city without being shot. That bill they passed, they're adding onto it.", one man said.

"I heard. Making us an official hunting season", Axel said.

The men nodded. He knew his men weren't strong enough, but he did know a few who could help him deal with the problem. He just didn't know if they would agree. They didn't see the world the way he did. Things had changed and they needed to realize that.

"I need two men to come with me. We are going on a little road trip", Axel said.


Lena and Devin were not too far from the cabins, but deep enough that no one can catch them.

"I noticed that we haven't shifted since the full moon. I've been wondering, maybe we can trigger the change without the moon", Lena said.

"Like, change whenever we want?", he asked.

She nodded. He took a deep breath and tried, but how could he do it if he didn't know what would trigger the change.

He sighed.

"This isn't going to work", he said.

"Your son is in danger. Men are coming to get him and kill him. How can you protect him if you can't change. You'll need to be able to change whenever you want in order to protect him.", she said.

She could see he was thinking about that.

"They killed your wife and now they want to kill your son. Are you going to let them? Don't let him down. Don't let your wife down.", Lena said.

His eyes glowed.

"Protect him, Devin. He needs you", she said.

She could see his skin ripple, his nails grew but then went back to normal. His eyes stopped glowing.

"I felt it", he whispered.

"With more practice, I think we can do this", she said happily.

Devin nodded.


They were still a good distance away from Wyoming, but they had to stop to rest. Making dinner for the kids and letting the drivers catch up on sleep.

Angelo noticed Rachel was up and sitting outside. He joined her and sat beside her.

"Couldn't sleep?", he asked.

She shook her head no.

"I can't help but feel like we won't ever be safe. We'll just be running for the rest of our lives, our kids", she said.

Angelo nodded.

"I wish I could tell you we're going to be okay, but I can't. I can promise that I'll try my hardest to get our freedom back", he said.

She looked at him.

"Would you be willing to do whatever it took?", she asked.

Angelo raised a brow.

"Even kill?", she asked.

"For my wife and kids? Yes", he said.

She nodded and stood.

"Good answer. I would too. Just be sure that you can go through with it, no hesitation", she said.

He nodded and she walked into the rv. Could he really kill someone? If this deal didn't work out the way he hoped, he would have too. He just hoped everyone else agreed. Including Jax and Kace.


Lena was putting Lilly to sleep. Seeing headlights flash on the roof of the room, she stood and made her way out of the house.

"Angelo?", she asked.

She sighed when it was Gavin who climbed out of the car.

"Lena", he said.

She smiled.
