1104 Chapter 89- Beech – Like Any Other Day Part 4 (VOLUME 6)

Beech

~~

From the moment that Luka had seen this guy, the one that had the bombs in his bag, I had known that something was wrong. That something was off. Unlike Luka, I can’t sense that many things about people. However, I am able to read a situation better than most people. I think that it is just a preternatural gift that was given to me by the heavens when I was born. I especially can read the situation when there are people that are exceptionally close to me.

The more familiar that I am with the people that I am with, the more that I know about the current situation. And that meant that the moment that Luka, who I am with all the time and had grown up with, felt that something was wrong, I too felt that something was wrong.

This gift of mine wasn’t that amazing, but it helped me to stay on top of the way that people felt and what was going on. I always knew what it was that people needed, often before they even knew it for themselves. It also helped to establish me as a reliable and trustworthy person, which I didn’t feel I deserved, because it was granted to me supernaturally.

At the moment though, having been the one that reached the man first, I was the one that was needed and the one that was trying to help. I was asked to hold this man down, while my sister and I waited for the police and others from our extended family to arrive.

While I was sad that my brother and sister were here, involved in all of this drama, I was glad that Ilana and Rowan weren’t here today. They didn’t have a cla.s.s today, neither of them did, and that meant that they had stayed home while the rest of us were here. This worked out better in my opinion. They weren’t in danger at the moment.

Speaking of danger, while I held this man down, who was still struggling vainly against my hold, I watched my sister walk off toward the fountain, toward where we usually sat. I knew that they had seen on the detonator device that the man had placed bombs over there. Ashle was over there to locate those bombs and to clear out the people in the area that hadn’t been smart enough to leave when the others ran away screaming.

There were bouts of panic and calmness that were spreading over the campus. Some people were running away scared when they were told that there were bombs on the campus, but the others thought that it was all a hoax, so after the hysterical of the civilians had fled, the others would roll their eyes and continue about their day. I didn’t know why those people weren’t listening and leaving the campus. What was it going to take for them to understand?

I was trying to read too many situations at once. I was focusing on my sister as she told everyone that came near us that there were bombs on the campus and they needed to leave. She was also fielding questions about why I was pinning a man to the ground, and whether or not I was being too rough with him. I wasn’t, of course, I wasn’t doing anything other than holding the man down. His face was uncovered, and he was able to breathe. I was just restraining him until the police arrived.

It felt like a lot of time was pa.s.sing, but I knew that it was just the way that it seemed. The situation that we were in just felt like it was dragging by and that the police were taking a long time to get here. There was just so much going on that it was overwhelming and made it harder for my mind to process and comprehend it all quickly.

“What the h.e.l.l are you doing?” A voice called out behind me as I focused my attention on the situational acuity that was by my sister rather than that of the area near me. I had never heard this voice before, but I knew that it was an angry man. That was all that came to my mind.

“Huh?” I spun my head around, looking for the person that had spoken. He was closer to me than I would have liked, I had heard that much when he spoke. And when I looked around, I saw that the man was barely five feet from me.

The person that I was looking at was wearing a uniform for the university. And he was definitely p.i.s.sed off.

“I said, what the h.e.l.l are you doing?” The man’s voice was deep and came out as a rumble that wasn’t far off from a growl.

“I am detaining this man until the police arrive.” I told him. “They are on their way and will be here soon.”

“You don’t call the police to the campus, dumba.s.s.” The man took a step closer to me and cut the distance between us in half. “You contact campus security and then we make the determination whether or not we need to call the police.” He was p.i.s.sed that we had superseded his chain of command.

“My apologies, but this situation is beyond the ability of mere campus security. We made the decision to contact the proper authorities immediately. The gravity of the situation demanded such swift actions. The local police as well as the FBI are on their way as we speak.”

“Now listen here, boy.” The man stepped again, now he was standing immediately next to me, and I could feel the energy that was vibrating off of him. Granted, I had already been able to feel it. “You don’t get to make that decision. And, what is it that is so important that you had to call the FBI?” At this moment, sensing a possible friend rather than foe, the bomber that was pinned beneath my hands started to call out to him for help.

“Help me! This crazy a.s.shole tackled me to the ground and won’t let me up.”

“Is that so?” The security guard asked as he lowered his head toward me.

“He is wanted for terrorist crimes. He will be arrested by the FBI when they arrive.” I spoke calmly, not at all letting this large and beefy man think that he was intimidating me.

“How about you get up and let me deal with that man. I will take him to the security office.” The guard grabbed me by the arm and attempted to pull me to my feet.

I knew that I needed to stay put, so I just applied a little more tension to my muscles. I wasn’t heavy, but I wasn’t a wispy thin man either. I was a wolf, and that meant that I was strong and powerful. I was also part Fae, and there could be epic tales written about the unmoving Fae. We are an obstinate people, and it shows in our att.i.tudes and strength. Consequently, the guard wasn’t able to move me any more than the man pinned to the ground had been able to.

The current situation was not at all to the guard’s liking. He narrowed his eyes and looked at me defiantly. He was angry that someone had dared to defy him and try to do his job at the same time. He definitely didn’t like me all that much.

“What the h.e.l.l, boy? Why aren’t you moving when I pull you?”

“Because I don’t wish to be moved.” I looked up at him calmly. “I am sorry, Sir, but I am staying in this position until the police and FBI arrive. That is the order that was given to me by my cousin and the prince.” In truth, Reagan and I were related, however distantly. We shared the same blood of the Fae.

“Prince? What f.u.c.king prince?” The guard demanded of me, not believing a word that I was saying.

“The prince of the wolves and magic users. He is my cousin, and because I am half wolf, he is son to one of the sovereigns that guide my life.” I was just speaking the truth, but the guard wasn’t happy.

“Oh, so you’re one of those people.” The guard rolled his eyes. “Listen, I don’t care whether you people are here or not, but just because you aren’t human, doesn’t mean that you can do my job.”

“Again, I was not intending to do such a thing, but there simply wasn’t time to wait.” I told him as plainly as I could. “The situation was an emergency. And the proper authorities will be here soon. I can already hear their sirens in the distance.” I tilted my head as I heard them, but clearly the guard didn’t hear anything yet.

“Yeah, right.” The man shook his head. “Get off that kid, now.” He tried to move me again.

“No, I cannot do that.”

“Hey, look at that, I can hear the sirens now too.” This came from the man that had been silently filming the scene around us. He had been here from the beginning, but he hadn’t said much of anything, so I had let him fade into the background and ignored him. He had, however, been filming my entire encounter with the guard.

“What?” The guard said as he lifted his head.

“Hey, Beech was it, does anyone ever call you radar? You knew they were coming before we did.”

“No, they do not.” I answered him honestly, then I realized that he was just lightheartedly joking with me. “I am always around better radar machines though. Most of my friends are full blooded wolves, so they are true to that name.” I smiled. I knew that I was speaking awkwardly, but that was normal for me. I was always a little on the shy and awkward side.

“That’s funny. I think I like your sense of humor. Also, if you’re only half wolf, what is the other half?” He asked me, the camera of his phone pointed directly at me now.

“I am half Fae. My mother is a Fae, and my father is a wolf. I am a mixed breed, also called a hybrid. There are several hybrids like myself in the world, we do not mind the difference that it causes, because all life is precious and special.”

“That’s beautiful, man.” The camera guy smiled at me. “My name is Jared, it’s nice to meet you.”

“The feeling is mutual, Jared.” I nodded at him with a smile and felt a small jolt that coursed through me. This was the most socializing that I had done outside of the people that were in my typical inner circle, and it felt good. Really good.”

“Have you been filming this whole time?” The guard asked the guy, finally realizing that there was a phone in the man’s hand.

“Yeah. And I am not stopping until the cops make me leave. Considering that they are pulling in now, I am going to guess that it will be soon.”

I followed the camera man’s line of sight and saw that he was right. There were half a dozen vehicles speeding into the half filled parking lot as they started to skid to a halt. When the others had made their calls, they had told the authorities exactly where we were located, so they knew where to come right away.

This was a good thing. I wouldn’t need to keep holding this criminal to the ground any longer, and I definitely would not need to worry about the security guard and his anger any longer either.

I felt a surge of relief when I saw Rawlynne and Jackson coming up the sidewalk, followed quickly by Devon. I knew these people well, and had grown up with them as a part of my life. They were just the people that I wanted to see right now. And soon, when they finally got here, I would feel the same relief at seeing Aunt Trinity and Uncle Reece. Finally, things were going to be under control.
