When Marcellus emerged from the storage room he was pulling his shirt on over his head. The deep scars that adorned his torso spoke of a different time. Bullet wounds, claw wounds, cuts and more. The most ragged of them was the size of a softball, and looked to have been created by something...

"They could fill in our blind spots," Draaven explained. "More eyes and ears could be useful. We would need to train them in house though. We would be hard pressed to find a company willing to rent out animals to us." He hadn't been surprised at her misunderstanding his question. Rhetta was...

Liam was stretched out on the grass with his hands folded behind his head. He was watching the clouds overhead. They provided a good enough distraction while he waited for Skye. She had asked him to meet her here, though she hadn’t elaborated on why. It had to do with recent events no doubt, but...

Jesse pinched the bridge of his nose against the pounding headache that had set in. It had been pure chaos the last several hours, but with the most critical of their wounded either recovering or stable, he had stepped outside to get some fresh air. Aimee required more surgeries yet, and he...

James. It was a name remembered by few, and used by fewer yet. It grounded him and brought his focus back to Rhetta, and to the present. "I haven't been that person in many years," Baron answered. "Too many years. It's time the Jackals, and all the rest of them remember why they once feared...

"See if you can dig into his connection to the Jackals. Make sure they don't have anything on him. I don't want any surprises," Baron said. "I'll have Jesse look into local medical records for a pattern of abuse." While Jesse had been largely ostracized from the medical community after he...

Baron didn't bother trying to dissuade Rhetta of her views of Desmond. The only thing that would change that was Desmond himself. And honestly, he wouldn't have been Baron's first pick for Second even just a few months ago. Unreliable would have been his choice of words. No one had predicted his...

"Desmond will make the right call," Baron answered. He didn't need to specify what the right call was. He knew as well as her, that they couldn't afford to project weakness right now, but they couldn't afford a divided pack either. Desmond would need to step up, sooner rather than later. He...

"After the hazing Ragenard has already put him through, if it was something important he wouldn't have been so antsy," Baron replied. His brother had already put Liam in more than a few uncomfortable positions. More than enough for the kid to have learned to speak up, even if the one you're...

Baron was brooding over the day’s events and occupying himself with taking apart and cleaning an array of firearms that lay lined up on the table in front of him. Their armory was lacking, but they had acquired some additional firearms from the fallen Jackals. It was these he was working...

"Hey man, they don't tell me anything," the man on the ground exclaimed. His face was twisted up in pain. "We was just supposed to fuck the place up. Teach him a lesson! That's all I know! We didn't know anyone was going to be here!" Marcellus stepped inside, through the broken window that he...

Amara met Snow's gaze, but did not move from where she stood. She simply... waited. It was difficult to read much into her intentions, and she made no move to acknowledge Snow's harshly spoken demand. It wasn't until Leo approached her that Amara made any movement at all. She shifted her gaze...

Baron's gaze met Chloe's and he did not look away. She could feel the ferocity that he had locked away behind his calm facade. It brushed up against her own, coaxing it further. For a moment their mutual rages threatened to redirect on one another. Had Chloe been more closely bonded with the...

"She will," replied Colette. "She will." _____ Meanwhile.... Amara slipped through the Phantom Quarter keeping to the shadows as much as she was able. This part of the city wasn't as busy as the other quarters, and she was able to remain largely unnoticed. Those that did catch glimpses of her...

The ghoul writhed and flailed beneath the viciousness of the combined assault. The tendrils that had earlier struck Baron turned on Chloe instead. They lashed out in blind desperation, striking over and over again. Outrage mingled with terror and a single thought pierced through the rest. HELP...

The ghoul thrashed haphazardly and struck out blindly. Where Chloe tore free one writhing appendage, another grew in its place. Another struck Baron in the side of the neck, piercing his throat. He ripped it free with one hand, and drove the barbed spike into the ghoul's eye. Using the ghoul's...

Baron seemed unphased by the development going on nearby, and had instead zeroed in on the ghoul that was using the stone pillar to get back to its feet. He drew his gun and opened fire on it as he moved. The bullets angered it, but did not seem to be hindering it in the least. Baron never so...

"Tuanta diambhal," Desmond swore under his breath. It wasn't often that he reverted to Iverian, but there wasn't a curse in Lutetian that properly projected the depth of his emotional state in that moment. He hesitated only a moment more before he forced himself with gritted teeth to turn from...

Desmond reached the doorway into the building before he realized Chloe was not following. In fact she was frozen in place, and he saw the wolf clawing its way out. The shift was coming on too fast for her to reign it in. "Chloe!" he shouted. Part of him knew the shift was too far underway...

"No you are not going to die," Colette replied gently. "Amara has left to find James. Soon you will be back with your family. We do not know the city, and Amara could not search for them during the daylight. I did not know of a faster way to bring help." There was worry in her eyes though as...
