Karl needed a moment to collect himself, taking a deep breath he answered. “It took a long time, but eventually, she was able to forgive us. Though her chances at getting her new job were completely shot.”
“Because of her being exposed?” Clarence queried, that being the most likely answer.
“Officially because she failed to attend the interview, unofficially, who knows?” Karl admitted, aware that the real reason might never be known.
“I see, and if I may ask, where is Sally right now?”
“For a time, she was still in her old job, but attacks, physical and otherwise forced her out of even that. Since then she was forced out of her own home.” Karl had to stop at this point, his own guilt at what his actions had done to her life making him have to fight back the tears.
“So where is she right now?” Clarence tried again after giving Karl a moment.
“It’s best I don’t say that, there are still those who are trying to hunt her, and others like her down.” Karl cut in, not interested in answering that question.
“Very well then, we will return after these messages.” Clarence announced the pause in the interview as they moved to commercials for the next few minutes.

“Fascinating.” Danielle Schvett commented dryly as she rose onto her clawed toes, auburn fur all that covered her, her riding suit and equipment safely stored in Carly's bedroom.
“Not the first time, we’ve heard from, one who, was there.” Another werewolf, Carly Meeuwenberg, covered in silvery-grey fur replied.
“True, but…” This coming from Maria Carter, with dark-grey/black fur. “…the first time, from someone, who admits to being, the reason the World, knows of us.”
“And since then, we’ve, had a hard, time.” Kevin Smith, the only male of their group, the most heavily muscled of the group, resembling a professional weightlifter and jet black fur all over, in addition to being the only one who didn’t have a longer patch where his hair would be as a human.
They’d agreed to meet at Carly’s home to watch these interviews, to have their own talks over it. Right now Danielle had made for the kitchen to pick up the snacks, a large range of chicken, beef, bacon, and a few others to sustain their greater calorie requirement in their current forms.
“So? What, do you make, of it?” Kevin asked slowly, their different mouths, voice boxes, and vocal chords requiring them to speak slowly to keep it understandable through the constant undercurrent of growling that they never could quite eliminate.
“Personally, it’s, interesting. Now we, know, the circumstances.” She carried half the snacks with Kevin taking the rest with him. “Of course, now we, have to, deal with the, consequences.” With her job as a Truck Driver, taking goods from potentially one side of the country to the other, she could make good money, and her relative being alone during them was possibly one reason she’d managed to keep it despite having to reveal herself to the World.
As she currently was, she didn’t have additional pairs of breasts, with the one pair she did have seeing no real increase from her human form, though they did appear smaller with her greater size and musculature, the same being true of Carly and Maria. And for all of them, despite instinct being a constant buzzing at the back of their minds, they were all able to stay one step ahead of it. Though if subject to extreme stress, for example, someone actively trying to kill you, then the instinct would become far harder to keep down.
“So who is, up next?” Maria asked them, pointing to the TV as the programme returned.
“Well, if they don’t, have, anyone else, then they’d likely, stick with, Karl.” Kevin reasoned, sat in the armchair while the others were using the couch.
