Chapter 4

"Connor, I'd like to introduce Lucy, she's a friend of Mishy's." Dr Laas watched Lucy carefully for a response, apart from the impression of a wide mouth bull frog she was currently going with.

The huge man walked slowly over to Lucy. He was as tall as Keegan and probably slightly bigger. Long brown hair with streaks of silver at his temples gave him an aged appearance. Lucy suspected more serum injections. The shaggy stubble was also lightened with a touch of silver at his chin. She'd never seen eyes so piercing. Sort of pale blue but they stared hard at her. She felt like she were being studied as prey. He took her hand and kissed the back of it before releasing her. All the while he fixed his eyes on hers. Lucy felt uncomfortable, like she'd just been undressed. Keegan tightened his grip and gave her another squeeze.

"As you can see, Connor has been receiving the serum and he's aging quite nicely." Dr Laas was obviously proud of her work and her 'boys'.

"Well I don't know about anyone else but I'm exhausted, I hope you'll excuse me. Please make yourself at home Lucy, stay as long as you want, I'm sure Keegan can find somewhere for you to sleep should you wish to stay over." She cast a grin towards Keegan before giving Mishy a hug. "Goodnight darling, I'll talk with you tomorrow about the arrangements for extracting Kala. Don't you worry about anything, we've got it all covered and before you know it, you'll have him back." She finished with a peck on the cheek before turning to face Drogo, "You coming?" Drogo gave a quiet growl followed by a wicked grin. It seemed Lucy was correct, they were an item.

Connor turned to Mishy, his eyes were wild and crazy looking, as if he were excited. "Are you staying over Mishy?" There was a moments silence before Mishy answered, "I think I'm going to go home thanks Connor, I've got some things I need to organize for tomorrow." Mishy looked at Lucy and could see she really wanted to stay with Keegan but knew she wouldn't. She was right, Lucy couldn't bear the thought of leaving Keegan but it wasn't proper staying in someone else's house just after she met them.

"I'll wait for you in the hallway Lucy." Mishy thought she should give them chance to say goodnight, it was only fair after she'd ruined their dinner plans. Connor followed Mishy.

"I guess we won't be having that dinner date anytime soon?" Lucy looked up at Keegan, his puppy dog eyes were almost willing her to stay. "Once we shake these agents for good I promise we will. You could stay you know." He touched his hand to her chin and brushed his thumb over her lower lip. Lucy sighed, she wanted badly to say yes but thought now wasn't the right time to get intimate. "I have to go, I want to stay really I do but I wouldn't feel comfortable." He pressed his thumb to her lips to stop her. "Not a problem, like I said before, this isn't over." He leaned forward and swapped his thumb for his lips, kissing her softly and squeezing her she felt her heart would break. "I'll call you tomorrow okay?" Warm sweet breath brushed her skin as he whispered, "Goodnight darlin." She gazed into his eyes and felt the pull on her heart. "Night hon." she managed a smile although inside she was sad, she turned to leave. She only took a step before a large hand caught her by the arm. She was still facing the door as he pulled her to his chest. Wrapping his arms around her he nuzzled his face into her neck. She whimpered when he slid his hands under her arms and cupped her breasts. "I need you." His words were soft. "I can't stay Keegan, not tonight. Please don't make this harder than it is." His lips felt hot against her neck as he brushed them over her skin. When she felt his teeth sink into her flesh she drew in a sharp breath. "Mine" he growled after he released her from his bite. Lucy closed her eyes and relaxed against his hard body. "I promise." She managed to speak. Keegan squeezed her gently, his hands had moved down to her waist and he nestled his face close to hers. They took a moment together, not speaking and not moving before he released her. Turning to face him she reached up and put her arms around his neck. She pulled him lower so she could kiss him. The soft caress of his lips made her want to stay. She had to pry herself away before she tempted herself to change her mind. "Goodnight Keegan." She pulled away and hurried out the door. Keegan watched her leave and groaned loudly as he ran his hands over his erection. He would explode unless he took her soon.

Lucy was quiet on the trip back to their apartment. Mishy didn't push her, she already knew what was going on in her mind. She'd been there.

When they arrived back at their apartments Mishy took Lucy's hand. "Why don't you come to my place and have a nightcap. I'll make us a snack and a rum hot chocolate, what do you say?"

"I'd love it, thanks. I'm gonna get changed into something comfy though first."

"No prob hun I'll do the same, I'll leave the door open you just come in when you're ready." she squeezed her hand before letting go.

When Lucy was in her apartment and she closed the door she slumped against it and let out a huge sigh. It had been a fun packed evening and she was shattered. Managing to drag herself to the bedroom she undressed and threw on her sweatpants and baggy T-shirt. After cleaning her face and removing her make-up she made her way over to Mishy's.

The most wonderful smell of sizzling bacon and mushrooms filled Mishy's apartment. She could always cook up a good snack that managed to hit the right spot. Lucy didn't realize how hungry she was until she'd smelled the bacon cooking.

"Ugh I'm so hungry, you're a babe." Lucy thanked Mishy as she handed her a plate filled with sandwiches stuffed full of bacon, mushroom and ketchup.

"Me too, sorry 'bout your dinner plans hon, I know this doesn't come close to what you were expecting but it'll do right?"

Lucy nodded, her mouth was stuffed full of sandwich. They moved over to the sofa and got comfy. One at each end with their feet up meeting in the middle.

They scoffed the snack quickly and quietly, only an occasional 'hmm...' could be heard. Once they finished eating Mishy made hot chocolate and laced it with rum.

"You okay hun?" Lucy asked as she watched Mishy staring into space seemingly somewhere else.

"I'm good, just thinking."

"About Kala?"

Mishy nodded. Lucy could see she were fighting back tears and couldn't speak.

"You're worried about seeing him again aren't you?" Lucy took a sip of chocolate and waited for Mishy to compose herself.

"What if he doesn't have the same feelings for me that we had? It was a long time ago. We spent a lot of time together when I was helping Melanie and although neither of us actually said that we were an item we sort of just got on with it, you know?"

"I do, and I'm sure he'll be pleased to see you. I can't say wether it will be the same or not but I think you should just take it slowly and see how he is. Don't forget he's been held against his will for some time, who knows what state he's in."

"I know, I'm trying not to be selfish about this, it's about getting him back and I should be happy that he'll at least be free and with his family again." Mishy blew her nose on her hankie and managed to stop crying.

Lucy thought she'd changed the subject to take her mind off Kala but all she could think about were the days events. Dr Laas and Drogo looked comfortable together and she wondered about Connor. He'd asked Mishy if she were staying over, had something happened between them at some point? She wanted to ask but thought it might not be the right moment.

"So what did you think of Connor?" Mishy asked with a grin.

"I was just thinking about him did you read my mind?" she giggled.

"I saw your face when he walked in, somewhat of a predator isn't he?"

"I thought the same, I felt like he was stalking everyone in the room, you know? Like he was assessing the situation or something."

"It's his DNA, he was spliced with Wolf DNA. Dr Laas was not pleased when she found out. She didn't actually have any part in his creation, it was one of the other partners that did the experiment."

Lucy thought there was something different about him, compared to the other two.

"I thought they all had other DNA mixed with theirs? Isn't that how they get their 'extra' gifts? The pheromone thing and the heightened senses etc."

"Yes, but they're selective and the partner that was experimenting didn't tell Dr Laas what they used, so she just thought it was a different mix of what they always had done. When his reactions to training etc were different, they knew they had trouble. He's wild. It's the reason Drogo and Keegan don't want him to help when they go to get Kala. They're worried he'll lose control, there could be problems. He has control issues." Mishy chuckled. "However, according to my friend he's a pussycat in the bedroom. Well...I say pussycat but he isn't what you'd think. It's not like he's a savage or anything, he can be quite the charmer." Her eyes widened and a wicked grin beamed across her face.

Lucy wasn't going to mention it but it seemed she'd been given the opportunity to bring it up, "Don't tell me, you've..."

"NO! Not me! My friend Chrissie. She met him a few weeks ago for the first time and I swear it was lust at first sight." She laughed and pointed to Lucy, "You thought cause he asked me if I were staying over that we'd got groiny at some point, right?"

Lucy bit her lip and grinned, "The thought did cross my mind." They both giggled.

"How did you friend get to meet Connor? You never told me about your involvement how did she get to be so special?" Lucy was half serious half joking when she asked but she was curious why this person had been given preferential treatment.

"It's Chrissie that tipped us off that Kala was being held at the hotel. She was having one of her parties for her other rich buddies and one of them blabbed that they'd had a Shareem. It was all they talked about for the next few weeks. You'd think given their financial status they'd stay clear of illegal stuff but oh no...you wouldn't believe some of the shit they get up too. Anyway I digress... Chrissie, being the nosy bitch she is, had to go and see for herself. She couldn't wait to tell me but obviously made me swear to keep it a secret. But she said that something wasn't right and that he was obviously held there against his will. He had some bruising and scars on his body which had most definitely been done recently. She said she felt sorry for him because although he did what he had to, I mean, he's a Shareem at the end of the day and sex is in his blood-but she said it was if he wasn't quite all there, you know? Not quite into it shall we say. I told Dr Laas and she said that maybe she should have a chat with Chrissie. And that's how she got to meet Connor and everyone else. She's actually a crucial part of our rescue plan, which is what she's coming over for tomorrow. You should meet her, I think you'll like her."

"Oh okay, I'll pop over with some cheesecake, I'm planning to keep myself busy in the kitchen tomorrow so make sure you don't eat a big lunch."

Mishy smiled, she loved Lucy's cooking and cheesecake was one of her favorites. "Okay that would be great, just come over when you're ready, she's turning up here around one-ish."

"So whats the plan then? To rescue Kala?" Lucy was interested, more so because Keegan would be involved.

"Chrissie has made an appointment to have Kala for the night, Sunday night I might add, She's going to pay for extended time. Which will give us three hours to execute the rescue. The last time she was there, she gave Kala the heads up, told her who she was and that some other Shareem and Dr Laas were going to help him escape. When she has her three hour special, they'll be alone and the last time it was in a ground floor room set apart from the actual hotel. We've checked it out and it's a room they used to host private parties before they added the extension on the main hotel. It has been turned into a fancy room with all the oils and toys that he uses when he's...um...working. So Drogo and Keegan are going to secure the outside, meaning they're going to quietly remove any body guards. Dr Laas has been preparing a knock out spray that they just have to activate in the vicinity and anyone not injected with the antidote will pass out. Cool huh? She's so clever, I wished I had half her brain-cells..."

Lucy glared at Mishy, she was always going off topic and digressing with another side story before finishing the main subject matter. She gave a little cough.. "hem..hem.."

"Oh sorry! I got carried away didn't I? Anyway-where was I? Oh yes... So Keegan and Drogo will have taken out all the guards while Dr Laas is going to be ready with the van out of sight. She's had it painted just for the rescue! It's going to be a cake delivery van." She giggled then realized Lucy was glaring at her again so jumped back to the plan. "Chrissie will be wearing another set of clothes under her own. She's planning on wearing a large baggy T-shirt with jeans, ones that will fit Kala...they'll be mens jeans fastened with a fancy belt. She'll have some leggings under those and another tight t-shirt which obviously she'll need after she gives Kala the other one. She always wears huge full length coats so they won't pay any attention to what she's wearing. They'll probably think she's just got underwear on underneath her coat to save time!" Mishy roared with laughter but then saw that Lucy wasn't finding it so funny so calmed herself to continue, "She won't be able to get him any shoes, obviously, but Keegan will have those with him, so once he's done his part he'll give them to Kala and they can sneak out to the van! Easy huh?"

Lucy had listened and while it sounded perfect she couldn't help but worry. What if something went wrong?. Mishy had made it sound like they were going out for a bit of fun and that it would all work out tickerty-boo. These gang member would probably have guns or weapons. While Keegan and Drogo had size on their side...how good would they be in this kind of situation? They were bred for sex not war. She nibbled her lip nervously.

"You look worried hun, don't be. Drogo and Keegan can handle themselves, I've seen them in action."

A wary smile crept across Lucy's face, she wasn't convinced and would worry herself silly on Sunday. She didn't pray usually but on Sunday she'd be on her knees if she thought it would help. The silence between her and Mishy made them realize it was getting late and they should maybe call it a night. When they both stifled a yawn they laughed and decided to get off to bed.

"Goodnight hon, I'll pop over tomorrow with the cakes 'n' stuff later in the afternoon." Lucy gave Mishy a hug.

"Perfect, can't wait, you sleep well and think about Keegan, dream about all the wonderful things he's going to do to you once this mess is over." She wiggled her eyebrows and gave a naughty chuckle. Both of them laughed and Lucy blushed, she'd not thought of anything else since she'd first set eyes on Keegan.

When Lucy got into bed and turned out the light she thought she'd be awake for hours because her mind wouldn't shut down, however the next thing she knew the alarm was ringing loudly in her ear. She felt like she'd only just gone to bed. But she did feel refreshed and ready to tackle anything so jumped out of bed and headed for the shower. She'd decided she was going to keep herself busy and not sit around and mope.

Lucy had been busy all morning in the kitchen, so far she'd made a strawberry cheesecake, fresh cream puffs and coconut cookies. She was ready to take the stuff over to Mishy's but fancied a quick bath to refresh herself.

It was the first chance she'd had time to think about Keegan while she lay soaking in the tub. Their first kiss, the tough of his lips and the wickedness in his eyes. She gave a huge sigh. Maybe if all goes to plan tomorrow they might get to spend the rest of the evening together, but it still bothered her that something could go wrong. The gang boss's would be extremely pissed once they realized what had happened. Anything could happen. She tried to be positive, she didn't know anything about Keegan or Drogo to assume they wouldn't be able to pull it off so told herself to stop thinking negative. She'd laid in the bath long enough. After getting out she spent a little time pampering herself, she deserved it after the stress she was under. When she's finished doing her hair and make up she slipped on a comfortable dress, it was quite new and she'd only worn it once. It was a floaty number with buttons up the front. A beautiful choral color which made her feel good. She'd gotten everything ready in a basket and headed for the door. Just as she reached it there was a knock. She grinned to herself, she knew Mishy wouldn't be able to wait. When she opened the door she almost fainted. Keegan. He had both his hands on either side of the door frame and gave her a look that made her go weak at the knees.
