    “You better come to my house.  The team and I will tell you everything.  It’s not good though, Jeremiah,” Angel whispered.  “It’s not good.”
    Jeremiah replaced the receiver, and immediately picked it up again, calling to have the plane ready for takeoff as soon as possible.  He was going to get his mate back.  No one was taking her from him.  And when he got her back, he was not letting her go. 
    Jeremiah got up and walked out of his office.  “I’m leaving,” he told his agent, Cord.  “I’m not sure how long I will be gone.  You’re in charge for now.” 
    “What are you talking about?” Cord asked.  “You can’t leave.  We have this huge case on the verge of exploding and..”
    “Yeah, well I have something more important to take care of,” Jeremiah interrupted.  “I’m leaving. The big boss man can fire me if he wants, but I’m outta here.”
    “Where are you going?” Cord asked in confusion.  “To save my woman,” Jeremiah growled as he slammed out of the office.
    Jeremiah went straight home, loaded up one duffle bag with clothes and another with various weapons and supplies he might need to rescue his mate.  He may have been an office boy for a while now, but he still knew how to kick ass.  He was going to join RARE on this one whether they wanted him to or not.  Rikki was his, dammit, his.

Chapter 5
    “W hat’s going on?” Nico asked as Angel hung up her cell phone, slowly sitting it down on the table. 
    “Well isn’t that craptastick?” she whispered, her big blue eyes wide with surprise. “What?” Nico asked.  “Jeremiah Black is Rikki’s mate,” Angel said as she sat there letting it all sink in.
    “Oh shit,” Jaxson said.  They all knew Jeremiah Black.  Good man. Bear shifter.  Tough as nails.  He was going to come in guns blazing.  But Angel was thrilled.  She needed him.  She would have asked for his help before, but she hadn’t been sure she would get it.  He worked for the FBI.  He was under their rules and regulations.  RARE did not answer to anyone.  They did not answer to the FBI, the CIA, not even Homeland Security. RARE did its own thing.  They contracted work out to several different agencies, but they handled things their way, with no questions asked.  As long as the job got done, everyone was happy.  Jeremiah Black worked for the FBI, but he was a badass bear shifter.  All bets were off now.  Someone had taken his mate, and Angel knew he would do whatever it took to get her back. She was glad he was on their side.
    Just then, Nico’s phone rang.  He answered, listened for a few minutes, and said, “See ya as soon as you can get here.”
    Turning towards Phoenix he said, “We are in luck, my brother.  A couple of weeks ago a new girl, Summer, showed up at the facility.  She was really young and scared to death.  Becca, a scientist that worked there, snuck her into Serenity’s room the first night to comfort her.  Serenity had a necklace that she had been wearing when the General’s men stole her from her pack.  For some reason, they let her keep it.  She gave it to Summer that first night and told her it would help keep her safe.  Chase is getting the necklace and bringing it here.”
    Phoenix did not want to get his hopes up, but this was their best bet so far.  If Angel could connect with Serenity, then maybe they could figure out where the hell she and Rikki were.  It would take Chase a good 45 minutes to get the necklace and get to Angel’s, so Phoenix decided now was a good time to go beat the shit out of something. 
    Nodding once at Angel, he turned and walked out of the room.  Going up the stairs and into one of the guest bedrooms, he quickly changed into some shorts he found in one of his bags.  He was going to hurt someone if he didn’t get rid of some of his anger.  As Phoenix slammed out the back door, he heard Nico call his name.  He just kept walking toward the barn.  He could not
