Katanya laughed to herself, shoulders shaking with the effort as the burner flipped closed. She had worked with Lieutenant General for years, since before she was the Major General. Since before he was the Major General. No one responded well to threats, but Owen had his own special way of overreacting. Wishing she could see the panicked way he was behaving, she decided to let him stew for a while, and would send the coordinates in an hour or so.
Smiling at Anita, she held out a hand for the little girl's. She accepted too easily, giddy and excited for whatever their next adventure would be.
Her Covenant-issued phone started ringing as she was buckling Anita into the back seat of her nondescript SUV. Slamming the door shut, she walked towards the driver's side as she accepted Owen's call. "Yes, sir," she said, sounding very official. She couldn’t help but to smirk; usually she was better about keeping her emotions off her face. He couldn’t even follow simple instructions when his family's lives were in danger. Luckily, she had accounted for this. His blatant need to control a situation.
They'd see which one of them was the fool.
Julianna heard the commotion from the kitchen. She hadn't called the school like he'd instructed, sensing that the gesture would have been useless. She didn't want to be distracted, she wanted to be in the loop. Instead she had leaned against the counter and wrung her hands together. She waited outside the door until the burst of rage seemed to die down. The barrier opened slowly and she peeked her head around the small opening she had made for herself. He was on the phone again, already, but she could see the tension in his shoulders. Moving inside the room, she closed the door and waited for him to finish. To acknowledge her. To tell her what was going on. Her heart was beating in her chest, pounding in her hears. They were still pressed to the crown of her head, tail twitching agitated.
She heard him curse his Major General, and it was all she needed to hear to know that the situation was a terrible as she thought. Where was their daughter? Was she safe? She had a million questions. She didn't want to be patient, but she knew pressing him for information wouldn't get her what she wanted.
