Agent David was not happy when he learned that they burned all the evidence, he was happy with the pictures sure but that evidence would have become the clinching pin. He was Werebear and he understood the implications because some of the victims were younger weres as well.

That was until Jack came up to David and ushered him away from the rest of the main house.

“Calm down David, Sam saved you some of it.”

Jack brought David over to a locked shed. They went inside and sitting there on a table was a wooden box, inside it was several plastic baggies with the more intact evidence. The

HY AN

journal that James had kept, as well as one of the smaller jars of eyes.

It was a sick collection, David looked at it as if it were nothing more than a collection of papers. It was the sign of a seasoned officer. It made Jack wonder, what else has David seen in his life that makes him numb to all this.

David looked at Jack as if he could telli what he was thinking,

“I know what you are thinking, how can I look upon these horrible things and not want to run screaming.”

“The truth is I have seen a lot worse than this it is true, there is still the part of me that wants to run away screaming and another who wants to hunt the monster down and kill him. Justice system or no justice system.”

“Sometimes I want to lay aside my badge and take it into my own hands.

That way I know that the monster will not get away with some stupid technicality.”

“It is even harder for my Bear, there are times he wants to just shift and tear them all to shreds.”

“Trust me when I tell you that this affects me, you just can’t see it in my face anymore. Too many years of this shit has made that part of me numb.”

“Jack, this is going to be my last case for the FBI, I am going to retire from the bureau. I am not sure if I will ever go back into law enforcement but I know I want time with my daughter, I want a family. Maybe I will get married and Nova will give us some

grandbabies.”

Jack started to laugh, oh, ok old man perhaps you might consider living in the area. We are going to need a new Sheriff. David looked at him, “not

sure I want that job either. Living in the area though sounds like a really good start.

“For now, Jack I am going to take this evidence over to where my other agents are staying in Wrighton, they will have it processed for the federal prosecutor: I should be back by tomorrow evening. Try to save some of the fun for me. I have been itching to have a nice long chat with the Sheriff.

Tack gave him a smile and a wave as David put the box in his trunk and drove down the drive out of sight.

Todd woke up in total darkness, he was soaking wet. The ropes were biting into his skin he could feel that they were wet with more than just the rain. Was it really necessary for them to handcuff and tie ropes as

well?

He felt like he was being watched. Not from the Cabin, from the woods instead. He tried to see what it might be but all he could make out was the shadow of trees in the blackness. There were too many clouds to have any light from the moon: Which meant that more rain was coming.

Todd struggled to get out but it wasn’t working, he just wasn’t strong enough to break the rope. He was also still handcuffed as well, so even if he got the rope off he would still have to get his hands free from behind the tree. Since his arms were already numb, that was not going to work either.

With a sigh, he hung his head. That was when he heard a slight sound coming from the trees behind him. His heart started to pound uncomfortably in his chest. He was

finding it harder to breathe.

That was when he heard a whisper…

“Don’t make a sound, that creep is asleep right now. I am here to get you out of here. We have to be as quiet as possible, so when I untie you I will carry you out of here over my back. Like a fireman. Do you understand? If you do nod your head.” D

* Todd frantically nodded his head.”

“Good, let us get out of here then.”

With that, the ropes fell away and the handcuffs snapped in half. Todd sat there for a little bit as the feeling came back into his arms, it was very painful but he kept his mouth shut. His rescuer picked up the rope and handcuffs.

He reached down as gently as he could and put Todd over his shoulder. Todd passed out again from the head

wound, it was a good thing because if he saw what had rescued him, he may have screamed and tried to escape.

With one giant graceful leap, they were into the forest and on their way to freedom.

Sheriff Avery was sitting in the kitchen in his underwear, smoking a cigar. Upstairs was another girlfriend of a drug addict that had to pay for their boyfriend’s debts with their body.

She was upstairs right now taking a shower, he let her think that she was done. He giggled like a schoolgirl, she has a long night ahead of her. He hasn’t even gotten started.

When she is done with her shower, he is going to drag her down to his basement, and then the real fun will

HATAM D begin.

He looked at himself in the reflection of the glass in the kitchen door. He was never anything special, now he is fat, bald, and still had acne. He laughed, no wonder she looked at him in horror, as her boyfriend told her what she had to do.

He was gentle at first, she shouldn’t have too many bruises when he takes her back. That is after he has had his fun in the basement, then she will clean and do his laundry naked.

After that, he might let her go home, depending on how good she is.

Nova had a blast, shopping was something she liked doing. She had also gotten a bunch of things for the clan house and the nursery. She had those things shipped directly to the clan

Adira even talked Nova into getting some slinky lingerie, it was pretty much no more than a piece of red lace. Another was black leather with some thigh-high black leather boots. She wasn’t sure she could pull off the high heels though.

Adira showed her how to walk in them, although she got the hang of it she was still unsure. Adira told her that once Jack sees her in that little number he isn’t going to notice if you wobble a little.

She was afraid at first that Adira would think she was stupid because she didn’t know much of anything about makeup or lotions and the myriad of everything else. Adira though didn’t think any such thing, it was like she had a complete understanding of Nova’s situation.

Later during a huge pizza dinner, Adira told Nova her story. After that

Nova trusted Adira completely. Then she told her about Duncan’s sister Marnie and her mate Ashton. Nova felt completely at home with Adira by the time dinner was over.

After dinner, they spent the rest of the evening with a very energetic little pup. He wasn’t very old but he seemed to have a great understanding of things. When he gets old enough to walk steadily, he is going to be a handful.

After she was shown to her room she called Jack, he insisted that she have a phone and made sure she knew how to use it. Just hearing his voice was a comfort to her. He talked about anything and nothing as she fell asleep listening to his voice. I

Duncan called for a meeting, something that is unusual for another

Alpha to do. Jack didn’t give a crap about all that protocol. If Duncan wanted a meeting then he can have a meeting

Jack knew though that it had to do with what his trackers had sniffed out.

Everyone was in Jack’s office waiting for him, Jack came in and took his seat behind the desk.

“Ok Duncan, what did you all find?”

We found everything, we were hoping that the FBI guy was here still. He is going to want to see what we found. Probably gonna want to bring in a team and all that stuff that they do.

We found that, first of all, there is a very well hidden cabin about 15 miles from James’s property. About ten miles north of the cabin in a very deep ravine, we found an extensive

pile of human remains. It was beyond imagination. I almost tossed my dinner.

Some were just skeletal, others were in various states of decomp. All of them were missing their ears and eyes. It also looked like a lot of them were partially eaten.

There were fresh ones as well and one that was intact, a woman we think was the mother of your mate from the description we were given of the parties involved. Her head was half blown off but she wasn’t mutilated like the others.

We think two killers are using that dumpsite because three of the victims were shot, they still had their hands handcuffed behind them. Nor were they mutilated.

Two of us came back, our third stayed behind to rescue the latest victim.

ho

dumpsite because three of the victims were shot, they still had their hands handcuffed behind them. Nor were they mutilated. D

Two of us came back, our third stayed behind to rescue the latest victim. Once Jessie gets him free he is leaving a note for that asshole and bringing the victim back here. He should be coming in anytime now
