Chapter 16 (Revised 07/15/2023)
Trackers and Enforcers
(Aiden, Benjamin, Chris, Connor, and Tank)
When we got up the following day, we were surprised to see Warrior Tank Harper sitting down at breakfast. Connor looked at him, "I wasn't expecting to see you back until late this afternoon."
"It only took 2 hours to run there. I handed off the note. I ate supper with the warriors. Then got back about 10:30 last night."
Enforcer Connor asked, "Did he give you a reply?"
He just said thank you. He looked at it and said he would contact you later today."
Connor replied, "You should not be a warrior. Tank's face dropped, and looked very sad. "Don't be sad, Tank. I am contacting Alpha Charlie to request you be allowed to join SNAP 1 as a runner. When we return to our regular pack, enroll you in the Enforcers program as a runner." Tank's face jerked up, smiling huge. "Yesterday, you were not afraid to stand up to us, which shows integrity. We were told about how you took down four of those rouges on your own when they attacked, which indicates strength. Plus was sent in an errand that showed speed. Which are excellent signs for potential enforcers.)
Chris looked at him, "I have an empty top bunk in my trailer room. You can sleep there if Alpha Charlie and Alpha Easton agree. We can see about getting you uniforms. I know Yuri and Zeus tucked the extra boxes of uniforms somewhere."
Tank looked at Chris, "You act like it's a done deal."
Chris laughed, "Let us get ready for Elder Alpha Bruno to get here." He heads to the mess hall tent. He pulls out photos of the person of interest.
Benjamin and Aiden walked in and grabbed a cup of soda. "While you were in here with the photos sorting them. I took some of the green Lycan with Benjamin and I. I found a couple of footprints that matched one of the guys I was tracking yesterday. It went into the barn. One of the green Lycan found an entrance under a pile of hay. There were three dead bodies. It appears to be the father and his two daughters. The mother and her two sons are still missing."
Benjamin added, "It was pretty gross, and two of the green warriors got sick. I admit I had to fight not getting sick myself."
"We called CSI members back, and they said they would send the reports to Charles when they finish. Alpha Bruno will send one of his enforcers over to that scene. He can help get those green warriors into shape for this type of duty. Hope they never have to do it."
"After we talk with Elder Bruno, we will head back. It started drizzling. I think we got everything we could. I am ready to snuggle with my mate."
"Connor will want to see that scene before we leave."
He walks in with Elder Bruno, "what will I want to see?"
Aiden replies, "Found the farmer and two of the pups."
Then Bruno asks, "Why do you have a picture of Laz right there?" He points to the fourth photo.
Chris asks, "Who is Laz?
"Laszlo Thomas Cochran. He is a lone wolf I met at wilderness outdoors people training as a teenager. He took it hard when his dad was killed. It's probably been seven or eight years since I last saw him. I ran into him when we did a white water rafting trip my pack did at White Water Canyon. He is part of the Rendezvous Pack in the mountains about 50 miles from there."
Connor said, "I think we better take a trip there and talk to that pack."
Bruno replied, "You better bring a pack of enforcers. He is a hell of a fighter, and if he has been training his pack or they have gone rogue, as you suspect, I could see it becoming a blood bath. I do not spook easily, but after we talked, I cut that trip short. I brought the pack back because he seemed wild. Talk to the council about him. At the time, they found nothing on them."
"Goliath is meeting with Charlie today. We will be heading back to our base today. We can inform him who you have identified."
Bruno replied, "I haven't seen him in a while. Do you mind if I head there too? I dropped off Elder Enforcer Quincy and Enforcer Sam at the farm."
Aiden pulls his phone out of his pocket. He calls Charlie. "Hi, we are here with Elder Bruno. He has given us a bunch of information about the person of interest six. He said to show the photo to Goliath. Tell him this is the person Bruno sent him information about from Rendezvous Pack. See what he remembers about the investigation done on him.
Bruno brought two of his enforcers with him. They are going to take over the investigation. We found some of the farmer and his family. They were murdered. Connor will talk to them this afternoon to brief them on everything.
Then we will head back. The rain has now started. I think we have found all we could. Would like to bring Elder Bruno back with us." Pause. "Also, we are bringing back another person and would like to add him to the pack." Pause. "Ok, see you about 5:30."
"It is all setup. Tank, gather your items and
could you meet us at our vehicle in an hour? Councilman Goliath has approved for you to join us. Everyone else let us do one more sweep of the area before we take off. To verify, we did not .miss anything. QI is going to send all known information to Yuri. He can update the records."
Everyone took off, and Elder Bruno went with Connor. Connor went to the Enforcers and CSI group to confirm they would send everything to his pack. Plus, he briefed the enforcers about everything. The other scouted around but only found a few small pieces of debris. Tank returned with his items.
Aiden said, "I gave the information to Yuri. He just sent me back this. A copy was given to Councilman Goliath, who will get it signed off by the council and get it distributed.
