Regretted Rejection : Wrath of the Moon

In the surveillance room;

"You guys are back already? Tell me what happened." Ryder asked. He had some sort of blueprints open all over his desk.

Marina and Maya gave a gist of their morning. Ryder immediately informed the pack warriors about the secret passage, "Please station a few guards near the Quinn couple's cottage. Also there's an abandoned pipeline near the old medical facility. Why don't you guys check that out and see if it is worthwhile to monitor?"

"Abandoned pipeline?" Jeff asked after the warriors in the surveillance room left.

"Yes, after talking with the pack historian, Mr. Sanders, I was quite bored and just thinking about the secret passage. I had an idea to check the pipeline structure of the pack. It turns out, they built a new medical facility some years ago that is near to the training grounds. So the old medical facility was abandoned due to lack of use. There used to be a drainage pipeline connecting the old facility to the outside of pack lands. I have a hunch that rogues might use that to enter the pack territory undetected." Ryder explained.

Before he could talk further, a commotion was heard outside and Maya went to check with her team. Xander and Beta Mark were detaining a rogue, who was continuously trashing around to free himself from their grasp. Ken soon arrived to check the scene.

"Alpha, we have caught this rogue near the abandoned medical facility. We were directed there by Mr. Ryder Wright.", Xander informed Ken.

"Put him in the interrogation room." Ken ordered. "Thank you Ryder. We will inform you what the rogue tells us." he said turning towards Maya's team.

Maya nodded and headed back to the surveillance room. "Good job, Ryder. Great thinking." she praised him and asked, "What happened when you talked with Mr. Sanders? Was he able to shed any light on Mr. Quinn?"

"Just the fact that old man Quinn was lazy and took long breaks. I couldn't get much out of him other than complaints." Ryder replied, "So, that's basically a dead end."

"I don't understand. Werewolves are basically a social animal. They thrive in packs. How come a couple detaches itself from the pack to this extent? Did this start three years ago or before that? And if it started three years ago the what happened that triggered this change?" Jeff asked trying to make sense of the things they know so far.

"I think... I mean I am not sure... But if you look at the time line of events, I think it started three years ago." Marina said

right on the edge of his eye, she asked him, "Do you know who I am? I am Maya Wright, Team Leader of Wrath of the Moon. I was held captive by a rogue for eight months. In those eight months I was hit, cut, whipped, broken and tortured in ways unimaginable to you. I am sure you can understand the hatred I contain for criminals such as yourself. If you don't start talking and tell us what we want to know, I can condense those eight months into eight days for your sake. However, if at the end of it you will survive or not, I don't know. But I assure you that it won't affect us. We will simply wait for another rogue to trespass and capture him. So, your choice, will
