'It's strange,' Kaylee thought, 'When my parents were still human I told Master I calmly
accepted whatever fate happened for them... but I really was scared for both Master and
my parents when the fight broken out. Though it really isn't right to call Kevin and Marcy
my parents anymore. We are all part of the pack that serves Master, the Big Bad Wolf.'
Given Bart had described the basement as the 'dark and stinky place' the she-wolves and
their sense of smell were still stuck eyeballing for it's location carrying around the giant
rug. Not that the rug was really heavy for them at all, but it was an odd shape.
With Little Red Riding Wolf leading, in spite of her internal monolog managed to lead the
she wolves in the discovery of the basement door, it wasn't locked, but Kaylee was
tempted to rip off the hinges all the say. It was an annoyance for the seven foot talk she-
wolves to squeeze through the door carrying the huge rug.
While their night vision took care of the 'dark' park of the basement, the 'stinky' aspect
was different all together. The she-wolves started at the smell. Their noses didn't just
detect the scents a human being would, but could practically smell the entire -history- of
the basement, every broken pipe, everything and anything that had even slightly gone to
mold.
"Whao." The twins chorused.
"My sentiments exactly." Kaylee said.
The smell of ashes and wood chips made finding the secondary furnace a breeze. Much
like the smell of iodine and anti-botics had made Darla finding the first aid kit a breeze
set aside from the gas furnace.
"If there's a leak at least sister we'll know it instantly." Fran said.
"Right sister." Darla nodded.
Fran went over the wood furnace (having used one before when her family had gone to
that cabin in the dead of winter that one year), and began set up the heat.
Kaylee thought, "You know with our fur we aren't going to be getting much use out of
these things, as mammals we produce our own body heat."
Fran and Darla nodded, "Yes Alpha female." They said in tandem. It gave Kaylee a warm
fuzzy feeling when they did that, it reminded her of just how powerful the Transform was.
Darla and Kaylee unrolled the bloody and peed on rug that had been once upon a time
quite a price tag. It might have been more logical to simply scrub and wash it, but such an
act for the Smiths was hardly out of character.
Soon a fire was going in the stove much to Fran's satisfaction, and the heat slowly radiated
out to the she-wolves.
"Let's get this done as fast as possible," Kaylee said, "I hate leaving the master alone."
"He's not alone." Darla pointed out.
"He has the cubs with him." Fran finished.
"You know what I mean!" There was also the matter of the bandaged leg.
"Yes Alpha female."
Kaylee finally remembered what Jensen had sent his mate along for and began to with her
claws and strength tear the rug into bite size pieces for the furnace. With amazing
efficiently the twins began to hand off and feed the rug to the waiting furnace, the smell
of their master's blood and the marking of Marcy and Kevin coming out in the flames.
Fast they worked, and diligently they worked too, after all, the master given them this task,
and thus it was their reason for living at the moment.
"You are still thinking about Julie aren't you sister."
"Only a little."
"Whose Julie?" Kaylee asked.
"My/Fran's wife." The twins answered.
"Oh."
"And I am only thinking of her a little. She is nice but the master is nicer. And I love my
daughters but I love the pack more Alpha Female."
"Well, you still have the game right?" Kaylee asked, "Maybe you can Transform or Dare her
and your daughters into nice new ladies for the master to mate with."
The idea of her daughters being age progressed into women and making love to the
master didn't feel wrong to Fran in the least. "I'm sorry Alpha Female, but it's simply too
risky. My wife right now has nothing but a bunch of dead ends to search. And my family
vanishing might cause more questions than answers. I can risk master or his pack like
that."
"I see." Kaylee wanted to say something more, and thus would have easily said more and
then some, but remember what the master had been saying about her impulsiveness and
thought that running out into town and transforming Fran's family right now WOULD get
to much attention. The pack was less than a day old. If they moved too fast they'd trip and
fall on their face.
Sooner than later, the rug was nothing but ashes and little bit going up the chimney.
Kaylee looked around the basement, like any basement it had a very impressive collection
of junk that was screaming to be sold off on E-Bay and would otherwise never see the
light of day again.
"Next order of business after we've had time to settle down is organize and sell this junk!
It's just taking up room."
"Of course Alpha female." The twins echoed.
Kaylee imagined how large master's pack could grow, and as self proclaimed alpha female,
she also imagined herself the one whose duty it would be to figure out and consider
people who would make useful pack members. Of course, using the game on a person to
person bases was going to get clunky fast. 'Maybe we can figure out a way to use the
Transform and Dare to trigger a big bad wolf transformation automatically when certain
conditions are met? Of course we'd need to transform someone who'd contain the trigger.'
Kaylee could be clever when she wanted to be, she could just be a bit oblivious at times.
"Let's get back to Master Jensen, he knows this place better than any of us, and we'll need
him to figuring out the ins and outs of our new home."
"Right Alpha female."
"And I'd rather think it's best that he doesn't have to worry about having all the cubs to
himself." Fran said.
"Or him all to the cubs." Darla added, the twins giggled.
"Don't worry about that, the master will handle them more or less or a little bit, but all the
same we shouldn't dally when there is much to be done."
Fran lead the way, not without the rug to carry and knowing where they were going, the
she-wolves moved incredibly fast, nearly knocking the basement door off it's hinges as
they went.

Jensen had asked Bart straight up what needed to be done to make sure the wolf pack
could live on the estate without getting attention.
Of course, Jensen only had a high school education on economics, and as Jennifer had
slept through half of them (who hadn't?). Bart's collage education and beyond on the
subject really went over Jensen's head.
When Bart saw that the master was looking at him with somewhat glazed eyes, he started
over and began in more simpler terms.
Jenny meanwhile, began dividing profiles of the on site into the 'Transform or Dare' pile
and the 'Let Go' pile. She'd have divided it further into transform or dare piles, but there
was that very annoying bit of 'free will' to deal with of anyone asked the game.
Jenny also found a bit to write a very detailed and formal and precise e-mail to Jenny's
high-school that Jennifer would be dropping out and taking on a private tutor. Kevin
accessing his e-mail account on-line did the same thing for Kyle.
Marcy meanwhile felt a little out of place as everyone had a job to do right now except her.
So instead she sat next to Jesen and listened as he listened about Bart's explanation.
"So if the people I ask chose Dare, we can use them to run off site holdings, if they chose
transform, we can use them to either add to the pack or serve the pack alternately."
"Alternately?" Jensen asked.
"Does the Transform just change people into wolfs or animal people?" Bart asked.
"No, it seems to have almost no limit on what it can change people into."
"In that case I have several ideas, but the REAL problem is finding people no one would
miss or those whose up and leaving would never be investigated."
Jensen nodded following so far.
"I'll run up a list but until the voice synthesizers arrive we'll have to do business by e-mail
and Bartholomew Smith and Jennifer Senior will have terrible colds."
