The following day I met everyone at 6:00 am to practice sparing in the newly formed SNAP. I got a link from Charles at about 11:00 am, "the enforcers from Lycan Pack have stated that the bombs from the prison and the car bomb were made from the same material.  They just were different types of bombs. The boy in the hospital has woken up but isn't talking to them. They wanted to know if you would like to try talking to him."

"Charles, how are you able to link me? I thought they said we could only link with Pack leaders?"

"I don't know. Councilman Goliath approached me a few minutes ago and said to link you. Then he said goodbye. It worked. I figured he had it tweaked somehow."

"We had planned to start training and waiting for information. I wasn't expecting it this soon. I will go tell everyone to shower and pack up their bags. We will be on the road by 11:00 am."

"Goliath said to tell you don't bother with packing. He had everything stored inside the campers for you behind the warehouse. Your cousins Zeus and Yuri got everything packed over the last several days. Then last night I did the clothes. You all got seven t-shirts, three sweat outfits, three slack outfits with button-down shirts and ties, and baseball hats, all with SNAP logos and everyone's names. He said everyone got combat boots, tennis shoes, and slip-on shoes. Plus socks and underwear. Each RV camper is stocked with hygiene stuff and food."

Goliath met with some warriors from the council. They drove five SUVs and campers down here that they have. He left the keys and the room/car assignments here. I am sending a runner to meet you behind the warehouse with the list."

"Gotcha," I shut down the link.

I looked at the sparing pack members, "ok, change of plans. Every one of you has one hour to shower and meet me at the warehouse. Pack a bag with any personal items you might want to bring. Don't forget your phones and chargers. I was told that the council had provided SNAP with uniform clothing, but pack a few of your favorite outfits. Plus, at least one nice suit or cocktail dress, just in case we need it. Suppose you did not bring a suit or cocktail dress since you originally were coming for just a memorial write down a list. Give a list to your former alpha. He will make sure it is forwarded to where we are going. Say goodbye to whomever." I turned and walked out to go shower. Thankfully I packed up a bag a few days ago. I grabbed my bag. Plus, my suit since I hadn't thought of that. Then I went to see Grammy, Victoria, Celeste, and Olivia. On my way there, I linked Solomon, "heading to say goodbye to the girls. We will be leaving within an hour. Take care of our pack."

Solomon replied, "Will do, and happy, successful hunting."

I set my belongings outside the playroom. I went into the playroom, where the girls played with their dollhouse. Grammy was in the corner, rocking in her chair and reading a book. When she saw me enter, she set her book on the table beside the chair. She stood up and walked over to me. She hugged me, "It's time for you to go?"

Before I could answer, I had my three youngest sisters wrap their arms around me. Vicky looked at me and said, "Are you going to go after who killed them?"

Olivia said, "he is going to kick their assets."

Celeste stated, "Just come back. We don't want to be leaders. We want to follow you. Besides, if they kill you and the others when we come of age, we will do what you did. We will go after them too. Mommy and Daddy raised us all to fight against injustice. Their deaths were cowardly. You go out there and get justice and show them if they mess with Sommers-Hutton's family, they will pay for it with their lives."

Before I could say anything, I heard my womb mates say, "We will." "Justice will be served." "I cannot believe you're just nine. "Come here." They rush over and hug them."

I say, "I will ensure they pay for taking our mom and dad." I then look at my siblings. "I got to go meet Charles. You all meet me in 35 minutes." Then I walked up and gave each of my youngest sisters a hug and kiss. "You be good for Grammy, and I will see you soon," I walk out to meet Charles.

I walk out and head to my office. I get there and see it empty. "Charles, where are you," I link.

He replies, "I am in the back of the warehouse. I decided to come here instead of sending a runner. I am with the SUV and trailers that the council provided."

I walk behind the warehouse and see Charles standing there. He has keys in his hands. Beside him is a table with black t-shirts with a SNAP logo and black sweatpants. They also had black tennis shoes with our names on them. He hands me a pile that has my name on it. "Go put this on."

"Who is the alpha?"

"Councilman Goliath said you say that. He said to remind you that you are SNAP's and not mine for now." He smiled at me, "I told him, but you will be back one day and make me pay if I was disrespectful like that. You will still be my alpha since I am supposed to keep you in supplies. I am one of those extended members. Yet I can link with both groups."

I laughed, "That sounds like Uncle Goliath. Thank you. Now let me get changed. Then you can show me my new home."

"I won't have time to do that. Throw your bag in the back of the SUV. It is a three-hour drive, and in three hours and forty-five minutes, you suppose to meet up with the boy."

"Well, the rest of the group will be here in 25 minutes. Tell me which SUV is mine?"

"You and Beta Aiden have the black SUV Jeep. You both will have your bedrooms with a queen size bed. In each room, I had your cousins, Zeus and Yuri, help stock your extra SNAP clothes and toiletries. The trailers can all pull out to give more room if you're stopped for several days. Right now, I have you reserved at the Eaglewood Pack RV park. I figured you could use that as a base since it is in the middle of the area you will start as. Their alpha does have patrols but has been informed to give you privacy."

"I will be sure to introduce myself to him."

[Author notes I am showing photos of the RV trailers and SUVs.]

He nodded, "I will let him know." He then pointed to the red SUV. "This one is also a two-bedroom, just like yours. I had your cousins set it up for your sisters and their mates."

He pointed to the third SUV, which was orange. "This trailer has one queen size bed. I assigned Enforcer Conner to it. The other room had four bunk beds. I put your brothers in that room. They're used to sharing a room. They are the only non-mated wolves sharing a room."

He points to the fourth SUV, "The fourth SUV, which is the green one. The queen size bed is assigned to the other mated couple and tracker, Chris. That trailer has two other bedrooms. They both have two bunk beds. No one is in the third room."

He points to the blue SUV. "That one has Tyrone, Kyle, and Peter in it. They each will have their rooms."

When you see my cousin be sure to thank them for placing all the stuff together. Now where are the keys?"

"They are all in the vehicle.  I got seven sets of keys. One set is in the ignition, and the other is in the center console or stored in a wall key box in your room. I ensured whoever was assigned that vehicle would have a vehicle key and a trailer key.  If you got new members, they could be given a set by you."

"That sounds good. I am going to miss you, Charles. You keep me organized." I give him a bro hug. Then quickly change.

When I got back from changing, I saw everyone was there, and they all were being given their uniform and told their assigned vehicles. "Get changed. We have a little over three hours to get to our locations.

Benjamin and Kyle, I want trackers to head to where the explosion happened. See if you find anything that might have been missed. It might mean you temporarily will be in different vehicles than what you were assigned.

Doc, Beth, and I will see the boy at the hospital. He woke up but wasn't talking.

The rest of you will meet up with the Lycans and get their written notes on the investigation thus far.  Plus, have them brief you on what they found.

Eaglewood Pack runs an RV park. We will all rendezvous there. Then will discuss what we all learned. Now let's go." We all split up and headed out.
