asked.
    “He may not have known. The Teacher doesn’t exactly share all of his plans with us. Justin also might be away on another job or too far away to reach me. Worst case scenario, the Teacher found that he was helping me and has stopped him.”
    “Would he hurt Justin?” Joe asked hesitantly.
    “I don’t know. I don’t think so. He never physically hurt us, but he did isolate us. That may not seem too terrible to you, but when the only contact you have is with the other students, you come to appreciate them, a lot.”
    “Okay, say you could contact your friend, could you get him to tell you where he and the others are?” Chase asked, looking very serious.
    “Yeah, why?”
    “What the Teacher is doing is wrong, Nate. I don’t care what abilities you and your friends have. It’s wrong to hold people against their will and make them do things they don’t want to do.”
    “You know, don’t you?” Nate murmured quietly a moment later.
    “Know what?” Chase said hesitantly, looking quickly over at Donovan.
    “You know what it’s like to be held against your will.”
    Silence filled the room. Donovan leaned forward, patting his brother on the back before looking over at Nate. He briefly felt Jim’s hand squeeze him on the shoulder, silently giving him encouragement.
    “We don’t know personally what it feels like, but we nearly lost our little brother that way. Someone found out that he was a shifter and kidnapped him. They wanted to study him and learn how the shifting worked. By the time we found him, he had been so abused and tortured that he was never the same again.”
    “Is he—is he alive?” Nate whispered.
    Donovan nodded. “I’m not sure you can call it living, but he’s breathing, if that’s what you mean. He won’t have anything to do with people he doesn’t know, and he rarely leaves his room. It’s like he can’t connect with anyone outside of the immediate family.”
    “Oh my gods, that’s terrible. How could someone do that? Don’t they understand that you are human just like they are? Everyone has differences. It doesn’t make it okay to treat someone like a science experiment,” Nate said, his voice filled with disgust and horror.
    “Not everyone believes the way you do, baby. Some people believe that they have a right to treat people how they want for their own self-interests. Others believe that people who are different don’t have the same rights as they do. Either way, they’re both wrong.”
    “I couldn’t agree more, Joe,” Chase said, his voice husky with unshed tears. Donovan could smell them on his brother and knew Chase would hate for him to acknowledge that they were there. His brother hated showing weakness. “I think it’s important that we save not only Nate from the Teacher, but the others as well. The ones that want to stay with him have that right, but the others…” Chase just shook his head.
    Joe nodded. “Okay, so what do you have in mind?”
    “The first thing we need to do is have Nate contact his friend. We need to know where the Teacher is holding all of them. In the meantime, I’ll contact a few of my friends and assemble a strike force to go in and get them out.”
    “You can do that?” Nate asked, astonished.
    Donovan chuckled but didn’t say anything. His brother had connections, most of them the unsavory kind. There was a period in Chase’s life when he had left home on his own. He never discussed what he had done, and Donovan didn’t really want to know. He had seen the hollowed-out man his brother was when he came home. It had taken ages for Chase to open back up again, and even then he wasn’t the same man that had left home. He was harder, more closed off.
    But he was also connected.
    “I can, yes. I know several people, some pack and some not, that would be very willing to help us. All I have to do is call them. It may take a few hours for them all to get here, but if I call them, they’ll come,” Chase
