Chapter 92: The General

Reid slows the SUV just outside the entrance to the warehouse where the rest of his pack waits.

Something is wrong. There are no guards outside, no vehicles. Syracuse usually waits for them to report, but the man's

car is missing. Reid shuts off the headlights and pulls over.

"What are you thinking?" Marcus peers across Reid into the dark parking lot.

"I wish I knew."

"Let me check it out." The seat belt buzzes its way back into place when Marcus hits the button, but Reid stops him

before he can open the door.

"Together."

Reid turns off the ignition. The engine ticks softly as the two of them climb out and circle the fence that edges the

yard. The chain link is achingly familiar, but this one is old and cold, and the gate is wide open.

The closer they get, the more paranoid Reid is feeling until he is vibrating from it. Marcus looks just as tense, a

silent snarl twisting his face, shoulders hunched forward as he walks without sound on his rubber soles.
