I quickly shake my head, which he raises an eye brow to but doesn't question.
He straightens up, never removing his gaze from me before stepping closer, forcing me to step back. He takes another and again, I step away. Seth keeps approaching me, hi...

Seths P.O.V
I paced in my fathers large study room as men began to trickle in, taking a seat or standing against the walls. I could feel my fathers eyes burning through my back. I hadn't spoken a word since I had arrived back here 45 minutes ago. Cole had arrived not long after and had only sent me a worried glance before taking his spot against the back wall. Nate and Zack had trailed in with confused looks,standing beside Cole with questioning glances. Jasper had stormed in with fiery eyes, his eyes searching out something before landing on me. He began to take a step towards me before Cole grabbed hold of him, shaking his head and leading him to the back. I would need the guys to try contain him in case he reacted badly to the news.
"Son. That's everyone here." My fathers stern voice halted my movement. Glancing at him he gave me a piercing look before nodding towards the gathered men in front of us. Turning to them, I cleared my throat a little, straightening my back and letting my emotionless mask take over. My poker face. There was a total of 24 men including the guys looking back at me, all of them chosen to lead smaller groups around the immediate and surrounding areas. Father liked to run a strict 'Business'. Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I think over what I will say.
"I'm sure many of you are aware or have at least heard rumour of our guest. I'm here to confirm today that she has been under our protection for a while. And today, we make good on our oaths. She was last seen close to seven hours ago. Or rather, last spoke to. It was a phone call to myself to say that she was going for a walk, perhaps to the shops. Now, when I checked the GPS Tracking for her phone, it lead me to her step parent's home, which without going into detail, is an extremely bad thing. I immediately made my way there to check out what was happening." I could hear my father shifting behind me, knowing he was unhappy.
"Upon arrival, the house was empty, and there was a clear sign of struggle. Her phone was left there. Now there is not much to go on. But I have small reason to believe that Franks men may have a hand in this. I can't be sure as her step dad is missing but I do know that her ex partner is associated with Frank."
There was an intense murmuring going round, And I could see Jasper at the back, fuming, Cole and Nate each with a hand on him. He wasn't struggling, yet at least.
"I need someone to track Billy Flitcher, her step dad. And Also her ex partner, Alley White, age 19." I look out at everyone as a silence falls. After a moment, an older man steps up, a little red in the face, possibly from his clothes which look a little tight on his rounded figure.
"I have a lad whose good at that sorta stuff. I'll get him right on that."
"Thank you McGregor. Bring the lad here if he's not already accompanying you." Father stepped beside me, nodding to the man who nodded before sitting down and pulling out his phone.
