A/N: NOT EDITED.
Chapter 55 – Gabriel POV
Heading back into the kitchen, still I have no plan in place to find Chelsea, Logan’s people have left, but Zeke, Greta and the rest are here, sans Jack. I hand Ava over to Casey, and see that my Nona Clara has arrived as well. I need a starting point I tell myself. I can't plan if I don't know where to begin.
“Gabriel my men have left, using the list of places she’s been in the last week Molly wrote up for Alpha Logan’s men as well,” Marx let me know, watching me in pity, and if this wasn’t so fucking painful, I would have told him ‘I told you so.’ I just got her, and was losing her, but I wouldn’t give up without a fight. I nod and he walks to speak to his parents.
“Gabriel, no one on file with those parameters has been near Chelsea,” Kai informed me just as my grandfather hung up the call to whomever he was speaking too in fluent Italian, “Kai, check updated feeds continuously on loop,” I instruct, “also, scan the black limo for any distinguishing marks, try hacking into the GPS system if it has one as well.”
I looked at the screen not really seeing it, “Kai, also, track that same car back from June 1st,” I add on.

“I know you do not care at the moment son, Rian is still in the cellar but Jay took the children and left,” my Nona Clara starts, “look at Rian’s family,” he advises me. Jay left Rian and took Jayda and Jaxon?
She’s right, I don’t care. When Nonno comes to sit next to his mate, I’m jealous, of him for the first time in my life, “The only lead I have right now is Scarlet and Madeline,” I tell him feeling like a little lost boy all over again. The same little boy that saw Anya run away with them; her, my mate.
Nonno holds Nona Claras’ hand and I stare at it, “Do what you have to do son,” he said gravely, I nodded.
Pulling my eyes from their clasped hands, “Kai do you have anything yet?” I asked strained and barely in control, because Max is already aching not being able to reach Aria nor Avena. Each time nothing comes come we both feel a little more disappointed.
I start to become anxious, anticipating any pain that Chelsea will feel, to be felt by me as well.
Still question roll in my mind, I’m not sure how to even begin to find her if none of my enemies are involved.
Too many things were happening all at once to decipher a clear opponent, which meant mine was intelligent. Jax? Who is that? The restaurant getting shot up? By whom? My mom’s car bombing? Samuel? The ambush that nearly killed Andrew and Ethan? Rian? Vampires? Hunters? Irish Clan? Russians? Was it the Elders? I wonder when I think of the conversation Nonno had with Chelsea. I was being mindfucked by my own thoughts.
Thankfully Kai interrupted it, “Gabriel I was able to find two distinctive marks. A scratch, on the black paint near the left back bumper revealing white primer and a small dent on the driver’s side; would you like to see the video surveillance?”
“Yes.”
“Very well,” I said, as Logan came to stand behind me, the video began, driving from an alley way, goes to the Omni Hotel in LA, and then it’s leaving the hotel heading to my fathers’ property, it heads back to the same alley it started from, but nothing else plays after that. I rest back stunned, this car was apparently nowhere before leaving that alley, it turns back after dropping Madeline and Scarlet, meaning it’s still there.'
Dread fills my stomach “Kai, where did it go after that?” I asked confused. With its length... How did Scarlet and Madeline get away from USC?
“The alley has no garages or spaces to hide the vehicle. There is no CCTV of the alley only the exits and it has not been recorded leaving from either direction,” Kai explains, but the dread remains. This car hasn’t been anywhere, comes out of this alley “Kai, go back further, two years,” I order.
If it hasn’t been caught on camera, then logically, the car should still be there, jumping up I take James, Saul, Rico, Jack and Noah with me to the same alley and as Katie said, there’s nowhere to hide the limo, in fact there are no garages, or parking spots. “Fuckkkk!” I roar angrily. How does are car disappear? Vanish into thin air? Max thinks which is what Noah and James say a loud. Nonno’s words planted earlier in my mind growing with every second passing.
Like I could throw fire?‘Do what you have to do son’
Like Chelsea could heal? ‘Do what you have to do son’
Like I could teleport?‘Do what you have to do son’
Like Ava has a shield? ‘Do what you have to do son’
Chelsea and I had our problems to face where we would feel helpless and I couldn’t help think that this was one of them. The only thing I could think was what or who had the ability to make a car vanish? I turn to Logan, not even sure what I want to ask. He has dealt with this before, “well?”
He shakes his head, “Gabe, I – I don’t know man…” he says as stunted as I was, and me with all the bravado I had shown at the Summit, fear seeped and settled into every inch of my body as I turned around, in that deserted alley way.
‘Do what you have to do son,’

We teleport back home, and I leave quickly setting up things in my warehouse, grabbing six neck cuffs I created before returning to the kitchen, handing one to James, Anton, Rico, Saul and David.
“Kai, pull surveillance feed for Scarlet, Ames and Madeline’s’ room,” I command knowing that they still hadn’t taken down the camera’s I set up all over the house, probably because they didn’t know I had done it. From the feed we place Scarlet in her room and Ames and Madeline in Ames room, which was mostly used as his office.
“Were we going Boss?” Rico asked and all I could think was, see right there. That is why I had James as my Beta.
“Our old pack,” James answered in a ‘duh fucker’ tone.
“Scarlet first, then Madeline and Ames in his office,” I stated. When we teleported to Scarlets room, she was in, she had already left. Listening we placed them all in Ames office. I give them a nod, we had the element of surprise, I immediately cuffed Ames, while the others went for Madeline and Scarlet, in less than 80 seconds we were at a private warehouse of mine that absolutely no one but Kai and myself knew about.

“What the hell Gabriel?!” Madeline shouted as David and Anton stripped them down to their bra and panties, trapping them in the chairs I created, their neck cuff linking into the chair.
“You’ve lost your goddamned mind!” She continued to shout as she fought against the restraints as was Scar and Ames.
I laughed, “Stop with the fucking struggling! You can’t get loose, Ames, when was the, no – name one time when you’ve stood where I stand and you saw some fucker get free?” I laughed harder when he stopped walking to the table picking up the control for the chairs.
“Don’t you dare hurt them Gabriel! Don’t you dare-” he stopped, shaking as I pressed the button that control his cuff.
“Stop! Stop!” Scar shouted trying to get free again, pulling a spinning chair; I sit in the middle of the three of them, each person a point, creating a triangle.
Both girls have tears, streaming down their faces, I laugh at that too. Human stop laughing, and question them! Max growled.
“Chelsea,” I say my mates’ name, listening to their heartbeats, “Start talking,” I said looking between Madeline and Scarlet, but neither said a thing, just continued crying pitifully. Nonno was right, I would do what I had to. I was going to get Chelsea back.
