Jayse sighed and snuggled closer to the warmth in her bed, pulled out of her sleep by a deep rumbling sound in her ear. She rubbed her cheek against her pillow, frowning at the fact that it was warmer then usual and her eyes snapped open when she felt a hand run though her hair, another training sharp finger nails over her thigh that was drawn up over firm muscular thighs. She stiffened when she remembered that she had gotten into the bed with an unrestrained Dean to warm him up and she had obviously fallen asleep.
She opened her eyes and looked up into the clear blue eyes staring down at her, and the rumbling under her ear started up louder then before. She was supposed to have given him repeat doses of the repressor every few hours but she had obviously missed at least one. They way his eyes were crystal clear and his skin was warm, but not hot was any indication she had missed more then one. Which isn't surprising since the alarm that would have reminded her to give them was in the bedroom of the apartment, although honestly given Deans condition last night she wasn't sure she would have let the trial continue, she was already sure that the drug was not safe for humans in its current form.
Jayse tried to lean up but froze when Dean's hand in her hair closed into a fist, locking the strands around his hand, and the fingers that had been trailing teasingly over her thigh clamped down almost painfully. The rumbling increased in volume again and she realized that he was purring, the hand in hair pushing her head back down onto his chest as his eyes closed. She realized the lights were still dim so it had to still be sometime in the early morning, and she figured she would just lay with him a little while longer until he fell asleep and she could get out from his embrace.
She quietly slipped out of the bed a few hours later, giggling to herself as Dean's purrs still echoed in her ears. She stood on the safe side of the line and watched in amusement as he started to wake up, his hand rubbing up and down his chest where she had been laying as if looking for her. She bit her lip and looked down at the floor when he opened his eyes and looked down at his chest and then over toward her and she resisted the urge to go back just to wipe the look of utter sadness off his face.
"I'm sorry Kit Kat, but I have work to do." She said softly, hoping he would understand. She watched Seth bound over to his puzzle and start at it, his gaze jerking up to her and lingering for a moment before he went back to his puzzle, his gaze repeatedly drawn to her though. Jayse turned to go back to the apartment and found herself looking into Roman's intense grey gaze, his eyes roaming heatedly down her body, and his lip curled again, his usual growl even lower then normal. She blushed and hurried through the doorway to get dressed when she realized that she was only wearing her tank top and panties, wishing she knew why Roman despised her so much when the other two had warmed up to her.
She hurried though her shower and got dressed, heading back out to the boy's room in time to see Seth flip the table holding the puzzle over onto the floor and pull it away quickly. She laughed, going over near him to see a beautiful landscape of the Taj Mahal, not a piece out of place even after its ride to the floor.
"Very nice baby boy, I'll have to get you a new one while I'm upstairs." She laughed and clapped for him while he basked in her praise before she turned back to get them some breakfast. She let them eat and then bathed them all, paying special attention to Seth, rubbing his hair and scratching his belly again for finishing his puzzle. Roman's bath was much the same as it was every morning, his gaze on her was unnerving, and his growling kept up through the whole thing. He kept it up while she brushed out his hair too, his arms flexing as he kept pulling on the restraints and Jayse was more then a little wary of him by the time she had taken their blood and tissue samples and headed up to the lab with them.
"Did you ever stop to think that she is taking your growling and posturing the wrong way Roman?" Dean asked lying back on his bed and tucking his nose into the pillow that held Jayse's scent.
"I'll have her one way or another." Roman growled at Dean, curling his lip at his brother playfully.
"Wouldn't you rather have her willingly?" Seth laughed from his bed, rubbing a hand over his stomach where he could still feel her nails on his skin.
"She'll be willing once I start. Are you alright Dean?" Roman answered lifting his chin and winking at the wolf hybrid, and then turning toward the tiger.
"Yeah. That shit wasn't fun though although I won't complain about having her lay on me." Dean smirked at Roman and then inhaled her scent from his pillow again, sticking his tongue out at the other hybrid.
"Just remember I get her first." Roman growled, glaring at Dean even though all three of them knew Roman had laid claim to the woman first.
"Hey Jayse how is the trial going?" Randy asked her once she had stepped into the lab with the box of samples.
"The drug isn't safe for humans. It was horrible for Dean and I couldn't keep giving the repressor, I was afraid for him. He went from fever to chills in a few hours and his breathing was too shallow. If he had been a human he would have ended up in a hospital." She told him handing over the box and sitting up on her desk.
"Is he alright? You stopped giving him the repressor right? Of course you did, you just said you did." Hunter asked turning toward her and crossing his arms over his chest his face scrunched in concern.
"Yes, he's ok. He had a rough night though, like I said a person would have been taken to the hospital." She said and then looked toward the stairs up as a loud banging sound, like someone striking metal on metal went off in that direction. "What the heck was that?"
"Not sure." Randy said going over to the bank of computers and pulling up the security cameras. He sucked in his breath at seeing about ten guys dressed in swat gear and heavily armed outside the front entrance and Kane and Taker scrambling to set up barricades in the front hallway. He turned away from the monitor when a bright flash went off and the explosion echoed around the lab.
"Son of a bitch." Randy said under his breath running to his desk and yanking open one of the drawers as Hunter dragged Jayse over to the walk in refrigerator that held all their cold supplies pushing her inside in front of him.
"What's going on?" She whispered as Hunter pushed her down into the far corner of the cold room and went to the other side messing with the shelving as Randy opened the door and slipped inside.
"Jayse this is the key to the boy's collars." Randy said holding up a small keychain with a single key attached to it, putting it into her hand and pulling an envelope out of his coat pocket, handing it to Hunter who put it inside a black backpack he had pulled out from behind the shelving he was messing with.
"They trust you; you have to get them out of here. There's enough money in that pack to care for them for the rest of their expected lives, and a new identity for you. There's instructions on how to get to a house that's been set up in case of emergencies, none of it will tie back to your old name. There is a tunnel behind the shower in the apartment that will take you away from the building, get the boys to move it and get out of here Jayse." He told her, putting his body in front of hers when gunfire started going off what seemed like right outside the refrigerator door.
"Shit!" Hunter growled looking out the door, and Jayse peaked around Randy's body, seeing both Taker and Kane behind the lab's work benches along with Show and Mark, and noticeably less of the men that they were fighting crowding the doorway to the lab firing at each other.
"When you get down to the boy's room slide your card and punch 1548 into the panel before you shut the door. It will deactivate the reader for any card but yours and give you some more time if needed." Randy said taking the gun that Hunter handed to him from the hiding spot in the shelving.
"We're going to open the door and go out first, you stay low and get over to the door Jayse. Get them out of here." Hunter told her handing her the backpack and squeezing her shoulder, before pulling open the door and firing off his weapon, ducking behind one of the work benches with Randy following behind.
Jayse took a deep breath and crept up to the doorway, ducking out and sliding behind one of the benches, moving to the end of it, trying to block out the noise of gunfire ringing in her ears. She mentally counted to five and sprinted from the end of the bench she was at over the next one, diving behind it and sucking in in air, resting her back against the metal surface and trying to calm her erratic heartbeat.
The door going down was about seven feet away and she would be exposed as she opened it and she swallowed hard, thinking that she had really not signed up for this. She gripped the pack, and took a deep breath, pushing up onto her toes and sprinted for the door, her card in her hand, sliding it though the reader and pulling the door open, slipping inside, biting down on her lip to stop from screaming when she felt a burning sensation in her hip.
"Shit." Jayse grit out, clamping her hand to her hip, feeling blood leaking out of the wound, soaking into her jeans and staining her coat already. She grit her teeth and leaned on the railing, making her way slowly down the stairs, leaning heavily on the door at the bottom, sliding her card though the lock and pulling the door open, groaning at the pain in her hip and the wetness running down her leg and soaking into her sneaker now. She punched in the code Randy gave her and slid though the door; sliding down to the floor leaning against it once it had closed.
"What the fuck?" Dean mumbled looking over toward the door, seeing Jayse sitting on the ground with her chest heaving and a line of red behind her down the door.
"Shit! Jayse! Baby come over to me come on." He called out to her scrambling off his bed and moving as close to the line as he could, crouching down and watching her slowly pull her body across the floor, leaving a trail of blood behind her. "Just a little bit farther baby come on." He coaxed her reaching out his hand for her.
Jayse grit her teeth, pulling herself along the floor toward Dean, sure her that she was hallucinating because of the blood loss. She got about a foot from his hand and had to stop the pain in her hip too much, and she rested her head against the floor closing her eyes for a minute.
"Just a little bit farther baby come on." His deep raspy voice came again and she opened her eyes seeing him holding his hand out toward her. She grit her teeth and pulled herself a little farther, reaching her hand out, feeling his fingers wrap around her own and pull her toward him, settling her gently in his arms.
"Shhh baby I know." Dean whispered to her, cradling her body to his when she groaned. He lifted her carefully and took her over to his bed, grabbing the blanket and tearing it, lifting her lab coat and tying the cloth around her putting pressure on the wound in her hip.
"Dean." Jayse whispered, raising her hands to his shoulders and pulling weakly on them until he leaned over. She slid her trembling hands to the back of his neck fumbling to insert the key into his collar and turn it, glad when the lock clicked and he took over pulling the metal collar off his neck.
"Take care of your brothers Dean." She whispered, resting her hand against his cheek and holding the key out to him. "The bag has everything you'll need, I know your smart enough to figure out the directions to somewhere you'll be safe. Pull the shower out in the apartment, there's a tunnel." She said quietly, stroking her thumb over his cheek before dropping her hand, her breathing shallow. She watched with a smile on her lips as Dean unlocked both Seth and Roman, the two of them disappearing into the apartment and she heard a loud scraping sound a few minutes later.
"Keep them safe Dean." Jayse called out as he gathered up the backpack and paused in the doorway of the apartment, looking back at her, before closing his eyes and heading inside. Jayse shut her eyes and breathed through the pain in her hip glad that the boys were going to be safe when she heard Roman's low growl. She opened them slowly and saw him stalking toward her, a scowl on his face before her vision dimmed and she closed her eyes again unwillingly this time.
