Clip stepped forward. “Yeah Hogg, tell us which son is missing.”
Hogg turned red and bellowed. “I told you before, I fucking hate that name!”
Sheriff Hutchins turned to Hogg. “Mister Mossdale, you told me you’ve never spoken to any of these men. How could you have told him anything ‘before’? Are you revising the statement you made, sir?”
“Well, no. No revision. That one…” he pointed at Teach, “was a tutor for my youngest son. He was fired when I discovered his deviant past in another city. The other one was disrespectful to me in town one day, calling me that horrid name.”
“I see. Why was your other son never mentioned when you spoke to the other officers? You were specifically asked about other children when you filed your report.” And the sheriff was getting it.
“Well, my young omega son is at home in his room. He has issues and we try to protect him from the public eye at all costs.” Hogg was fumbling his story. This was getting fun.
Protecting an omega child is not grounds for lying on a police report, Mister Mossdale. Mr. Sharkey, your omega isn’t beingheld on suspicion of anything. He’s free to go inside while we continue to discuss this.” The sheriff was irritated with Hogg now.
I nodded my head to Wills, who got out of the car. “He’s not my omega. My omega mate is inside. We’re fated, we’ve done the blood test and as a matter of fact, he’s pregnant with our first. Wills? Will you ask my mate to come out here and meet the sheriff and the mayor?”
Wills smiled widely. “Yes, sir, right away.” He took off running for the door.
The sheriff smiled and shook my hand. “Congratulations Mako, it’s always a blessing when one finds their fated mate. I wish you all the best.”
Clip stepped forward. “Sheriff, I’ve got something you need to hear, sir.” He pressed his finger to the screen and Hogg’s voice came from the speaker. The entire conversation from the cave played for the sheriff. He turned to Hogg and gave him a 2-finger salute. “Your move, Hogg.”
Hutchins turned to Hogg. “Care to explain that?”
“Th-th-that’s not me. It’s FAKE! They’re trying to set me up.” Hogg started backing away to his vehicle.
“Mister Mossdale. Do. Not. Move.” His tone completely changed the conversation.
“I’ve done nothing wrong. I want these heathens arrested. They’ve done something to my boys. I want them all in jail. NOW!” Hogg was adamant in his defense, but that was about to all fall apart in glorious fashion.
None of us had ever seen Teach angry before. He was a ‘cooler heads prevail,’ type person. This time though… “You call locking a child. A FUCKING CHILD! In a set of rooms in your home, depriving him of human contact. Of love and kindness. Deliberately keeping him undereducated and ignorant of how the world works until he comes of age, only to KILL HIM OFFto get an inheritance you were never fuckin entitled to, doing nothing wrong? I will do everything in my power to make sure you and your mate go down for this. I swear it.”
Hogg’s bravery returned for a moment. “You are a deviant. That’s why I fired you. No one will ever believe a single word from your mouth. You are trash, just like the rest of these heathens.” His little wanna be alpha growl was hilarious and had us all smiling at him.
Bear stepped closer to me and nodded his head. Standing behind him was the most beautiful thing this world ever created. In my eyes, at least. Before Hogg saw him, Theo took my hand and spoke. “You’re right, Grey. They may not believe Myron, but they will believe me.”
Hogg put on the greatest show any of us had ever seen. “My boy, My Theodore. They took you from me? We’ve been looking for you. Have you been here the entire time? Come here, I need to hold you.” He stepped towards Theo, and Theo curled into my arms.
“Step away from my mate HOGG!” my growl shook the very air surrounding us.
“He’s not your mate. You kidnapped him. You’ve convinced him he belongs to you. We’ll deal with this in the courts.” He looked at Hutchins. “I want him arrested. He kidnapped my son. Look at the faded bruising. He’s abused my boy.”
Doc stepped forward and handed Hutchins a folder containing the blood tests and documents from Theo’s Poppys will. The sheriff scanned the papers before he spoke. “Mister Mossdale, are you making a formal complaint of kidnapping an omega against Mr. Edward Sharkey regarding one Theodore Mossdale?”
Theo giggled. “Soon to be Theodore Sharkey.”
“Never son, that will NEVER be your name. Yes, Sheriff, I want to file a formal complaint of kidnapping.” Hogg wore a smile of smug satisfaction.
Hutchins walked over to his vehicle and typed up a formal complaint report. Not much information was needed, as it was all in the file Doc handed him. Carrying a tablet back from his car, he handed the tablet to Hogg. Of course, Hogg immediately signed and handed the tablet back to the sheriff.
Hutchins shook his head and huffed out a little laugh. “OK, Mako, you know what we gotta do.”
“I do Sheriff, thank you.” I turned to Theo and kissed him deeply, causing him to moan. “I’ll be back no later than tomorrow, baby. Everything is gonna be OK.”
“I know, love. Doc and Gates explained everything to me. This is how it has to be to end this. Wanna go to the courthouse day after tomorrow and get married?” The smirk on his face told me everything I needed to know. He was MINE.
“Hurry and get him away from my boy sheriff.” Hogg was growing impatient. Well, let him.
“Hush now Mister Mossdale, I’m taking care of it. Let me do my job. Theodore, do you have somewhere you feel safe to stay while this matter is taken care of?” Hutchins kept his back to Hogg to hide the smile he wore.
