Counseling Center
(Phoebe and Kyle)

The remaining warriors drove to the center. They went to Mary's office. When they arrived, Phoebe and Kyle greeted her, "Good morning, Mary."

"Morning. Now what exactly brings you back here today? I thought you finished yesterday?"

Phoebe replied, "Yesterday, five of your patients acted scared when we showed our person of interest photos. They would not talk. Kyle and I decided to try once more to talk with them."

Kyle stated, "If they acted scared and with the bombings, I wanted to talk to your security about beefing up security. I know normally, it is various packs that provide it, but our werewolves and Lycan are tied up with the bombings. I would suggest contacting the supernatural council for extra and discreet security."

Mary looked startled, "you think it is that serious?"

Kyle replied, "Honestly, I don't know, but it is best to proceed cautiously, but I did not want to implement such a plan without your input."

"Should I contact Tianna since she is a werewolf who volunteers here, and she is on the council?"

"Goliath is meeting with SNAP today. Normally that means Tianna is with him. I thought that was the fairy who was part of Elder Jocelyn's trials many years ago, Councilman Elijah with the fairies. He knew Elder Jocelyn. He helped assign a security detail to her when she did her trial many years ago."

"How about I call him?  I talk to him occasionally.  You and he can discuss the security. Phoebe and I will go to the group therapy room 361. I will talk with the five members of Phoebe. If they agree to open up, we listen. However, we do not force them to talk."

"I understand. They are patients and not prisoners."

Mary picks up the phone and dials a number, "Can I please speak to Councilman Elijah?" She gets quiet. Then soft music began to play. She switches the phone to the speaker phone. She looks at us, "They put me on hold to get him. She did not even ask who I was. She just said one moment while I check if he is available."

A few minutes later, "Hello, Councilman Elijah. This is Mary Schultz from the Supernatural Counseling Center."

"Hello, Mary. I wasn't expecting to hear from you today. Is something wrong?"

"We have a potential security problem here, and normally we have Lycan or Juniper Pack handle all security, but with the death of the alpha's parents or brother. Plus, standing up SNAP, it was suggested by Warrior Kyle from SNAP to contact you for assistance." She was quiet again.

"What are you exactly needing?"

"I don't have an answer for that. Would you mind figuring out the details with Warrior Kyle? I need to arrange a meeting with some patients who need me."

"Oh, of course, I can."

"One moment." She turns toward Kyle, "I am taking Warrior Phoebe to Room 361. You and Councilman Elijah figure out the details. Remember, we do ask for discretion to keep from scarring any patients." She then hands the phone to Kyle. "Councilman, this is Kyle. I will leave you to hash out the details too. Thank you in advance."

"You're welcome. Now, Warrior Kyoe, how can I help you?"

"Phoebe, follow me." She walks toward the door with Phoebe behind her.

"Hello, Councilman Elijah, this is Warrior Kyle Plaque from SNAP/Juniper..." The door is closed and tidy here no more.

Mary and Phoebe take the elevator to the third floor. They turned to the right when they got off on the third floor and walked to room 361. "Now, who am I needing to call to meet here?"

"The patients that reacted were Conrad Sickler, Pamela Zimmerman, Quinton Byrum, Denzil Pangle, and Vance Ronald."

"Oh my. I better add  Connor Sickler, who is Conrad's twin. Plus, have Vance's mate, Victoria.  This group of rouges ran an outlet mall in Noman land. Their group got attacked, and they lost about twenty members. They were in the process of applying to be a pack. They were going to be called The Outlet Pack. Unknown perpetrators killed their alpha.  Their businesses were destroyed. They have been here for almost two months. They lost mates and about half their pups."

"Why have we not been told about this threat?"

"They were not registered yet under the Supernatural Membership at the council."

"If they had acted, there would not be a pack mourning the loss of elders and pups right now. Hell might not have even been a prison break. Jocelyn and her family might be alive now. Who knows what other mayhem they have, are, or will cause because of falling into a loophole? They were registered since they had applied to be a pack."

Mary smirked, "You Green Valley Pack girls know how to raise some cane. Your attitude reminds me of when Jocelyn took on the council."

Phoebe smirked and replied, "Thank you. Now call them. I am going to call Alpha Charlie while you arrange this meeting."

Here use room 362. It isn't in use. You call him and then meet me in 361 across the hall. Give me at least thirty minutes to get everyone here.

When Phoebe was done talking with Alpha Charlie, she joined Mary. A few minutes later, Conrad and Connor Sickler showed up. Conrad asked, "Mary, why did you request us to..." he stopped talking. He cleared his throat, "Why are you back? I thought you were done."

Vance and Victoria Ronald walked in, talking to Pamela  Zimmerman and Quinton Byram. They stopped talking when they saw Phoebe. Then Denzil Pangle ran inside the room. He, too, was quiet.

Mary said, "Everyone sits down. I felt we needed to have a meeting. I feel that Warrior Phoebe can help you move on in your recovery." They sat down.

Phoebe said, "I want to apologize for causing you hurt yesterday when sharing the photos.  Yesterday you were lying when you claimed you did not know one or all of these guys in the sketches. I did not know until today you all were part of the Outlet Pack and had been attacked by a group of unknown. Yes, as soon as you apply, I see you as a pack. Right now, you are a leaderless pack."

They looked at her without reply, "Also, we are arranging extra security here. You will be safe. We will be sure no one knows your pack members are alive until you're ready for them to know."

"The answer is never," Conrad replied. "But I think they know we were not killed."

"I would like for you to tell me which one attacked you. I know it had to be someone from this list based on your response.  These people are interested in Elder Jocelyn and Elder Hutton's death.  Plus, their two pups. We cannot forget the four guards. I have a feeling your pack too.  When we capture them, we will let you be there for their punishment. Then you can decide if you wish for your pack to become official."

Quentin replied, "We don't have an alpha. Without an alpha, we have not packed."

Victoria replied, "How will you keep us safe from The Ghost and Scar? No security can protect us from them.  Our pack dreams died with our alpha. Right now, they think we are all dead. They did not find the safe room we were in. We are the only adults left in our group. We have twenty-two pups we are raising now. We have no home or business to go back to."

Vance replied, "Some people in this room lost their mates and pups. We are not sure what we will do when we leave here. We are pushing on because of the dogs. This center is helping us. We might never be the Outlet Pack, but we will become part of a pack."

Connor replies, "We just don't want them to find us. That picture here and that tattoo photo you have today belongs to the two wolves who killed our alpha."

"You know what the guy with the tattoo looks like?" Pamela grabbed a pencil and started drawing. She handed her sketch to Phoebe.

Phoebe looked at her. "This is the man you call Scar?"

Pamela shook her head yes. Mary replied, "She hasn't spoken since the outlet was attacked that day."

Phoebe looked at her, "With your drawing, this will help us capture him." She then took a picture of the sketch. She sent it to Zeus. Plus, a picture of the one they called a ghost.

Yuri replied a few moments later, "Confirm this is all correct. I will add it to the others."

Pamela grabbed her pencil again and drew a wolf. She pointed to the Ghost poster. Phoebe asked, and this is ghost' wolf?"

The others spoke up, "He is mostly white wolf."

"Tail has black."

"Face has some black fur."

"Plus shoulder has some black fur."

"His human form is pale."

"He had light brown human hair."

"He has icy blue eyes in both forms."

"Over 6'9" tall."

Pamela nodded. Phoebe then messaged that to Zeus.

"How did you guys see them so clearly?"

"There was a two-way mirror, and we could see them, but they could not see us."

A few moments later, he messaged them the up-to-date wanted photos.
