Dustin Casseus was going over the footage that Eastly and Chapman had provided for him, examining every little detail of the hybrid wolf that Mason Harris had become. He analyzed the boy's fighting style with his hybrid form, the sword he was using, and he was writing down every little note he could about it. Before he finished writing his last note, there was a knock at the door to his office, and his wife Melissa came into the office with an upset look on her face.
"Melissa, what's the matter my love? Don't tell me you had a bad meeting today." Dustin asked looking concerned for his wife.
"No, of course it's not that. Dustin, did you hear? The Tepes family and those Moreland hicks have formed a truce with each other. The Tepes brats fell in love with one of those Moreland boys and that Harris one who's practically adopted into the family. Doesn't this concern you in the slightest?" Melissa asked worriedly.
Dustin leaned back in his chair and smiled and gave a little chuckle.
"I should really share these things with you sooner darling. I actually found out before you did and decided to do something about it." Casseus explained as Melissa looked at her husband and raised her eyebrow towards him.
"Okay, what did you do?" Melissa asked sitting on Casseus's desk and turning her head to face him.
"Divide and conquered is what I did." Casseus answered as Melissa held out her hand for him to elaborate.
"I was able to track down the vampire Hannibal's location," he said. "And with some assistance, had cameras installed so S.P.E.A.R would finally track him down. That not only gets S.P.E.A.R off our backs, but also potentially Tom Harris and his sister, Yuriko. Three problems off of our backs already." Casseus reassured her.
"Alright, but what about the Tepes family and the Moreland family?"
"Yes, well, the great Lord Wyatt Tepes is much too busy to deal with us, and we technically haven't done anything wrong towards them. As for the Moreland family, Caleb Moreland is in a hospital recovering from a critical wound whilst his younger brother takes over as head of the Moreland family. We won't make a move on them unless we have to, and I want all the Harris family to be there before we do, so I think we'll wait on young Aaron to return." Casseus explained as Melissa nodded her head.
"Good plan Dustin, except you forgot about those women at the farm house that Dark Garden went up against. What if they intervene and help out the Harris family, then what will you do?" Melissa asked as Casseus nodded and rubbed his chin before picking up his office phone and paging his secretary.
"Missy, dear, could you please bring me the phone number for Mister Henry Amberhill? I have a proposition I'd like to offer him." Casseus asked his stepdaughter over the phone.
"Yes sir." Missy said as it took her a moment before she came into Casseus's office with the phone number for Henry Amberhill.
"Thank you Missy."
"You're welcome sir." Missy replied.
"No, come on now Missy, it's just us, you can call me 'father'." Casseus said with a smirk.
"Sorry, yes, father." Missy said with a little disdain in her voice as she left the office.
"Henry Amberhill, has been wanting to get that farm woman's land for years. I think this will be the perfect incentive he needs." Casseus said as he made the call.
