Derek's POV
As I mind-linked Erika, I walked to my car. I was going to find out what Richard was doing these days!
Hugh was keeping track of Richard. A warrior was with Hugh and shared their location with Kent every five minutes. Hugh would make marks wherever he went with the pattern we had designed in advance. By following the marks he left, we could find out what Richard was doing without spooking Richard. I also informed Francis of this. He led a group of warriors to the border of the Fly Rock Pack on standby.
Erika didn't answer me right away. What was she doing now? She wouldn't be angry with me for standing her up, would she? But it was an emergency. She should understand me.
I mind-linked her again.
What are you doing now? Are you angry with me?
This time she answered me immediately.
Of course not. I'm just talking to Angel. Stay safe. Richard is very suspicious. Don't let him discover you. Angel can send me back. She mind-linked me.
