Chelnik quietly observed as the two goons Freddie sent ahead of him were being forcefully removed from the Talbot property. Silently snorting in disgust as the two man, that Chelnik knew were so easy taken by surprise as large muscular men snuck up behind them; acting almost cat like in surprising the goons as they scoped out the garage and house.
‘For a family of grease monkeys,’ Chelnik thinking; ‘they have some formidable security guards.’
“Nothing I haven’t faced before,” Chelnik speaking in his native Ukraine.
The guards who heard Chelnik speak look up as they frogmarch the goons of the property and then approach him. While Chelnik was calm; he had at the ready a Glock with a silencer attached and a few of his ballistic knives on him. Always prepared for a fight, but under orders not to engage unless forced to defend himself; Chelnik instead looks the part of someone lost in need of directions.
“Can you help,” Chelnik speaking in a thick accent on purpose and pantomiming direction as one of the security men approach.
“Help you with what,” the man speaking; “I can barely understand you.”
“Find house of friend,” Chelnik pulling out his phone; “35 abrooms street.”
“Abrooms,” the man looking puzzled; “you must mean Abrams street. It’s on the other side of town.”
“Where in town,” Chelnik so close to the man he could possibly kill him and the other one across the street watching as the goons that Freddie sent earlier finally leave.
“Over here,” the guard showing him on the map on Chelnik’s phone; just head down the main street like so and then cut down on Elm grove.”
While Chelnik knew were the street was; planning his approach to observe potential targets was what he was trained to do. Pretending to be a foreigner who barely spoke any English, never failed for him when scoping out a target. Doing his best to thank the man and forcing a smile before walking away; Chelnik knew he had to report to Freddie about what he observed.

Evan Lawson was back at home. After his wife giving birth yesterday and having the baby in their living room no less, Evan set about to clean up and make the final preparations in the Nursery for when he takes Maggie and Evan Junior home from the hospital. After his Daughter and her Friends left; doctor Tora returned to let them know that Maggie and Junior will be discharged Sunday morning. Knowing he didn’t have much time, Evan raced home to start cleaning up. Entering the home, Evan saw his father nearly finished cleaning up the mess in the living room.
“Oh that’s right,” Evan remembering; “you said you would help clean up.”
“So son,” Mike looking at Evan; “what’s the news?”
“Maggie and Junior will be her tomorrow,” Evan breathing; “we need to finish the nursery.”
“Shouldn’t be a problem,” Mike responding; “all that’s left is the trim to paint and a quick run over the carpet with a vacuum.”
“What about in here,” Evan looking at the living room; “what about the mess and Maggie’s water breaking upstairs?”
“Taken care of,” Mike answering; “a lingering scent of bleach and afterbirth will remain for a while, but no stains to stare back at you.”
“Okay,” Evan feeling less panicked; “let’s get the trim done and then head to the hospital. I’m sure you want to meet your grandson soon.”
“Dam straight,” Mike following his son upstairs; “you know I’m going to want to hold him.”

Daisuke was calm when the Sheriff and Agent Reed both in their fursonas; a were-grizzly for Cooper and an off white fur werewolf for Agent Reed, filled him in on Freddie “the Shark” Parker and what his son did last night to start the mess the town is now having to suffer through. Finding out that Peter Talbot was nearly killed by the mobster’s son, and now recovering in the hospital; Daisuke was calm. The drama that unfolded at the courthouse in which Judge Flagg stymied the lawyers from bamboozling the judge into releasing Daniel and the revelation that the mobster was present and had a verbal altercation with Leon himself; Daisuke looked concerned.
“I have never personally had any dealing with the Talbots,” Daisuke thinking out loud; “don’t you think he could be a concern as well?”
“What are you getting at,” Tachibana also present and listening to the story for the second time.
“If Megumi was harmed,” Daisuke taking a heavy breathe; “I would stop at nothing to ensure the people who harmed her payed for what they did. Can you say Leon won’t do the same with what happened to his son?”
“Are you suggesting we might have to detain the Talbots,” Tachibana looking concerned; “arrest the were-lion king because he might physically attack this criminal or his son?”
“It’s a possibility one must consider,” Daisuke sighing; “yes he may be on the council, but that doesn’t mean he won’t hold back if his family is threatened. Remember how Randolph reacted when his mate was attacked?”
“Oh how could I forget,” Sheriff Cooper shaking his head; “It took nearly every police officer to restrain the werewolf rep from ripping the throats out of the were-rabbit punks that nearly killed her.”
“All thanks to the Seattle chapter of the Luna brotherhood,” Tachibana sighing; “if they hadn’t of kill Alyssa Cooper,” Tachibana trailing off.
“It would have been someone else,” Agent Redd speaking up; “I’ve read the report the director discreetly handed to me. Just how is the chapter going to be rebuilt if I may ask?”
“The Romanian head has order the new Alpha,” Tachibana looking bemused; “to accept all weres into the chapter. Not just werewolves. He wants the Luna brotherhood to go back to its roots; when they first formed to act as a bulwark against the Ottoman Empire constantly invading the ancient principality of Wallachia.”
“What,” Sheriff Cooper looking confused; “what nonsense are you taking about?”
“Go to the council archives,” Tachibana being dismissive; “recent scrolls that were restored and digitize tell the origins of the Luna brotherhood. Plus the Romanian head confirming it, doesn’t exactly make it fictional.”
“Can we get back on point,” Daisuke speaking up; “dealing with a mobster about to get his throat ripped out by a pissed off Were-lion?”
“Plus said mobster scheming to get his son out of jail,” Agent Reed growling.
“Agent Reed,” Tachibana speaking; “can you get Daisuke everything you can on the Parker’s criminal history as well as all know associates?”
“Send a copy to Evan Lawson,” Daisuke speaking up; “I will need his help on this.”
