looking there or any other sensitive areas that would provide guaranteed death,” she said, pointing to where she’d removed her own charge before she’d gone rogue.
    Mikal nodded and moved towards the doctor just as the man began hyperventilating.
    “No . . . no! There’s no charge or tracking in me! They only bug our houses and cars. I swear . . .” Harold said, looking at Mikal with fear-filled eyes.
    Mikal snorted and grabbed the man by the neck, pushing on the skin to see if he felt anything that wasn’t supposed to be there.
    “I wouldn’t believe anything that came from your mouth. If I were you, I’d be thinking about answering whatever questions she has for you. Questions she should start asking right now,” he said turning to give a pointed look at the female.
    Alpha Two had to mentally shake herself. The sight of the beautiful stranger in her cabin—helping her—was so beyond her comprehension that she was having a hard time with it. In all her years, every time she’d dreamed of this mission, it had never included a gorgeous, strange male of their species helping her.
    “What will they do to my sisters if you aren’t returned?” she asked.
    Dr. Mussberger shook his head, twisting in the chair to avoid Mikal’s probing hands to no avail.
    “They won’t do anything to them, I swear. They will try to recapture you. Both of you,” Harold said, studying Mikal as if excited by the thought of capturing him.
    Mikal crossed his arms over his chest and laughed.
    “Good luck with that,” he said to the doctor before turning to look at the female.
    “I’ve done a physical check and an energy one. I’m not seeing anything, but you really need to check it yourself to make sure. I’m not familiar with these devices and could easily have missed it. We can’t take any chances that I did,” Mikal told her as he stepped behind the doctor and stood against the wall.
    Alpha Two noticed immediately that the stranger had moved to the perfect spot for her to inspect the doctor and still be able to see him clearly. She gave him a slight nod of thanks for the courtesy he was showing her. When Mikal gave her a short nod in return, she approached the doctor and began a thorough inspection.
    Several minutes later she stood and looked at the stranger.
    “You’re right, I don’t see anything either,” Two admitted, a little surprised that he had been telling her the truth.
    Dr. Mussberger sighed and looked up at her with pleading eyes.
    “Alpha Two . . . please listen to me. I’ve never done anything to hurt you . . .” he began.
    Two saw the look of shock flash across the stranger’s face seconds before she held the doctor’s throat in her hand.
    “Don’t you dare think to tell me what you’ve done or haven’t done to me or my sisters,” she said between gritted teeth, her white eyes pulsing with muted light.
    Mikal was more than a little shocked. He had a few answers and a hundred more questions, but he knew if he kept his mouth shut he would learn a lot more. He fought to appear casual, but inside he wanted to beat the hell out of the doctor himself.
    What kind of person calls someone by a name such as Alpha Two, he wondered. No wonder she doesn’t believe I have a real name.
    Alpha Two let go of the doctor’s throat and stepped back from him so she wouldn’t be tempted to do it again.
    “How many of us do you have? Are there other labs?” she asked, noting the stranger’s energy spike when she said the last.
    Dr. Mussberger twisted his head around to try and look at the stranger, but he was standing at an angle where Harold couldn’t see him. With a heavy sigh he turned back to look at Two.
    “Alpha Two . . .” he began.
    In a spurt of rage that she couldn’t seem to control, Two slapped him so hard his head snapped back, the sound echoing around the cabin. Mikal didn’t even flinch, he grinned instead. Two didn’t notice, her attention focused on the doctor.
    Two was still in a rage and
