“Well, fuck. Okay then. Let’s go,” I announce, and we start to move away from the dance floor.
I spot my dads and wave them over to us.
“I have the plane on standby and ready to go when you are. I also have clothes ready in the SUVs. Your Tok and Marn brought a ton more of that Narwagh armor you guys like, so I have kits with all of your clothes in all of your vehicles. I’ll stock up the plane too when we head out,” Evrin tells us.
“You guys are the best,” I tell them, and we all pick up the pace and move in the direction Aydin leads us.
“Okay, Aydin, fill us in on what we need to know,” Sabin orders.
“The most recent female taken was a ward of the Alpha. I’m not clear on all the details, but his raising this female is what created an issue between him and the local casters. All the other females taken were all in their mid-twenties, all dark hair, all disappeared in the middle of the night. Alpha Vorenno had the last two females under guard when they disappeared, and they can’t find any trace of how it happened. No scent of magic or other shifters,” Aydin explains.
“Any bodies show up?” Valen asks.
“No, but the third female who was taken, trackers found a lot of her blood about twenty miles away. They have no idea what it means, and scenes like that haven’t been discovered for any of the others,” Evrin tells us.
“Shit. This sounds like a fucking doozy of a case,” Torrez observes, and I nod.
“It is, that’s why they’re calling you,” Aydin states, his eyes radiating his faith in us.
Nerves and excitement flash through me.
Our first job.
Our dream of taking cases and helping just became a reality.
What we’re walking into is daunting, but I’ve never felt surer that this is what we were made for. I take a deep breath and put my game face on.
Let’s fucking do this.
The End
