Tearing through the streets on a crotch rocket is not something he is keen to get pull over for, It takes Dymixious an hour to get out of Seattle. Arriving at his garage off of a private, Dymixious gets off his bike and strips naked. He quickly transforms into an anthro komodo dragon approximately 10 feet in height. Dymixious makes a quick sprint and dashes into the wood surrounding his compound. With a quick flick of his serpent like tongue, Dymixious quickly zeroes in on some prey. A ten-point buck taking a drink from a stream.
The buck sensing something is off quickly bolts deeper into the forest. Dymixious not one to let prey escape, gives chase. It takes him less than a minute to catch up to the buck and knock it down. The buck struggling to break free soon stops moving as Dymixious breaks to creature’s neck. Slinging the dead buck of his shoulders, Dymixious carries it back to his compound. Dinner for him and his mate.

Jade was busy washing dishes as she heard her husband’s bike pull up. She smiled to herself while holding her swollen belly. “Daddy is home she pleasingly comments”. She heads to the door to let him in, only to see Dymixious shift into his were form and head into the woods. It was a few minutes later when Jade sees Dymixious come back with a large deer.
“Venison again?” She curiously comments.
“Father had me take care of an issue regarding Moon Lake. I wasn’t able to get to the store as I had to quickly leave Seattle.” He calmly remarks. “Besides. Venison is far healthier then grocery store beef. Especially, since you’re expecting.” He beams.” Give me 20 minutes to prep this buck.” As he hangs it up while revert back to human form. “We will have enough fresh meat to last us for the month.”
Jade knew better then to push the issue with regarding work for Dymixious’s father. She knew that the old man was very protective over all were species in general. Not just his own kind and clan.

The elder were komodo dragon was looking at a report regarding the rogue vixen when his son reported that Ulysses had been dealt with. He contemplates whether to have Dymixious deal with her when he receives a phone call.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Drake. Its Tachibana .”
“Oh hello Ms. Akane. To what do I owe the pleasure of your call.” Drake chuckles.
“You know why.” Tachibana retorts. “I thought our clans had an agreement when you transferred control of the town to us. You and your clan would stay out of the way.
“We do. But that agreement only extends to the town’s city limits.” Drake coolly responds. “Any were acting outside of the town, regardless of whether they are a resident or not falls under my clan’s jurisdiction. Ulysses broke that agreement when he was caught transforming on camera. Cameras operated, by Seattle police. I had no choice but to act. Rest assured that Moon Lake will still remain a haven for all were’s that wish to reside without fear of being discovered.”
Tachibana was silent for a moment. “A curtesy call would be much appreciated the next time you send your ‘fixer’ to maintain the town’s secret.”
Drake laughs. “It’s so nice that you think my son is an assassin. It warms my cold blood to hear that.” Drake stops laughing. “But let’s get serious. What do you intend to do with the rogue vixen that upend the town a while back?
“She has been handled. It’s the fallout from her rampage that is causing me no amount of headaches.” Laments Tachibana.
“I can help you with that. Financial wise that is.” Drakes responds.
“I appreciate the thought, but it’s nothing as if my family will go bankrupt handling the cost of medical care for a couple of Yvette’s victims.” Comments Tachibana
“Speaking of medical care, Can you please let your daughter know to expect Dymixious and his wife at Moon Lake Hospital soon? Jade is with child and will soon be ready to give birth.” Beams Drake. “My first grandchild in a three centuries and I want to make sure it comes into the world healthy.
“I’ll let her know Drake.” Tachibana promises. “We’ll talk later. Sayonara. ”
Drake hangs up the phone and looks out the window to a view of Mont St. Helens. He turns back to his laptop and closes the file on Yvette. Deciding to let Tachibana deal with her.
