I ran through the front door of the pack house, scaring the omega that was cleaning the front entry. She screamed as I mmed through, but I kept running until I made it to the office. nnah was pale, shivering behind her desk. She looked at me with wide eyes, panic clear on her face. Rick''s door was closed, but Ternen was rubbing nnah''s back in small circles. Something was wrong.


    I shifted back and I opened my office door, turning back to look at them, and nodding inside. nnah was out of her chair before I could blink. I waited for Ternen to join us before I shut the door. I hugged nnah and took a deep breath, but all I could smell was Ternen''s rancid smell. I pushed them into the chairs across from me and sat at my desk, pulling out myptop. "Good morning."


    "Morning Amy." Ternen tried to smile.


    "You two look stressed. What can I do to help?" I typed out a message on the


    screen.


    Amy- What is going on? You look like you are going to puke.


    I turned theputer to Ternen and nnah. "Nothing." nnah sighed. "Rick is just having a rough morning. Abby is really sick and Vince came in a lot earlier. Something about needing to speak to him." nnah leaned in. "Are you still trying to organize his files?" Her eyes flicked to mine and I nodded.


    "Yeah, I wanted you to look at the filing system. I wanted you to take a look and leave any notes you have on the notepad." She nodded and hunched over the keyboard. Ternen looked over at theputer and then turned back to me.


    "I don''t know what that all is. Rick''s filing system haunts most of us omegas." I could see that Ternen was trying his best to act normal.


    "I don''t doubt it. It''s insane." Iughed with him until nnah sat back and pushed theptop back to me.


    "It looks good, but I did tweak a few things." She slid her fingers through Ternen''s and smiled.


    I nodded and pulled it back to me. "How was yesterday? Were there any more breeches?"


    nnah nodded. "There were a few rms when you were off." She turned to Ternen and started exining the security system in ce while I read her message.


    nnah- Vince walked in first thing this morning. He stopped at my desk before Ternen came in and took a deep breath. Then he just smiled at me and knocked on my desk. He was going to say something as Rick walked out.


    But something is going on with Rick. Abby is really sick, and he was looking for you this morning. He was panicking. I think he''s worried that she''s going to die.


    I''m terrified Vince scented the baby. Ternen received a text a few minutes ago about a new posting at the border. And Rick and Vince were screaming at each other less than ten minutes before you ran in.


    Shit is happening and I don''t know what to do or think.


    Help us.


    I looked up from my screen, and I met her eyes. I smiled, and I did my best to reassure her. "These suggestions are great." I sat back and pulled theptop into myp. "I''m about halfway through digitizing his box of insanity." nnah forced augh, and I smirked. "But I will add these into the system tonight." I


    looked up as I shut theptop. "You guys shoulde over for a


    barbeque tonight."


    nnah looked at Ternen. "Do we have anything we need to do tonight?"


    Ternen thought for a minute. "Justundry." He looked back at me and grimaced. "Our ce doesn''t have aundry, so we have to go to the one on main." nnah turned to me with a pout.


    "Sorry Amy."


    I smiled. "It''s okay. Why don''t you just bring yourundry over to my ce and we can wash it while we have dinner?"


    Ternen''s eyes widened a little. "Are you sure? It''s a lot."


    I nodded and swiped a hand through


    the air. "It''s totally fine." I leaned on the desk. To be honest, it''s been too quiet in the housetely, so you twoing to do yourundry will be great" I turned my desktop on. "When Rick is free, I''ll see if he wants


    to bring Shelly and Abby and make


    it''s good night."


    nnah nodded. "That sounds great. I know they have been worried about Abby.


    But maybe getting out for the night will help.”


    I blew out a breath. "Maybe." I looked


    at the clock also don''t want to spring it on. Shellyst minute." I looked at nnah. "I know Rick is with Vince, but do you think you can call her and ask if she wants toe tonight? I won''t ask for an answer until she talks to Rick, but this way she has a heads up and can get Abby situated for when he heads home."


    Anah hopped up. "Of course."
