That was definitely something wrong and Mae could feel the terror on Elyse. "Don't worry about anything Elyse. This is exactly why Carmen hired Nox in the first place. Not only was he one of them, he's one of us. You know this better than most of us. Sage likely wouldn't tell any of us if we were on the Atharim hit list. He'd just let Nox take care of it, but you were one of them, you know how to take care of yourself." Mae moved around to the other side and sat next to Elyse and put her arm around her. "You should stay at Nox's place. While it's full of kids, those kids are probably in the safest place in Moscow. And if Ashton can kidnap Nox, then you can damn well guarantee he won't let any one in that house to hurt those kids." Mae took out her phone and started tapping away while she poked at her chocolate cake.
The phone rang and a strong voice picked up. "Sup, Mae?"
"Elyse's got a some heat on her, and we are gonna stay at Nox's new place. Can you and some of the other boys when not on duty crash there with us, keep an extra eye out while Nox is gone. Hacker boy is on the job and doing his best to delay the hunter."
"You got it, Mae, I'll send some of the boys over to crash. They'll be disappointed Nox isn't there."
Mae laughed. "We all will be. Hopefully one of this kids knows how to cook or we'll be eating a lot of take out."
Mae hung up the phone. "So what do you need from your place? I should have everything I need at Kallisti for a few days."
