Given all that had happened in the last few hours, Meesei was glad to have found a group willing to work with her, and more importantly, with each other. Since they were all in the service of different lieutenants, their testimony, taken together, would not be easily refuted if they were witness to something important for the trial. And, if one of them attempted to fabricate a story for the benefit of his or her lieutenant, the other three would be able to disprove it. Of course, Meesei was not going to tell them explicitly about their roles as witnesses. 

"Thank you all for agreeing to help me in this. In times as tough as these, it is good to know that there are those willing to do all they can to help. I would like all of you, in addition to myself and one of my pack, to help in keeping Harriet safe until her trial. Until she has been officially charged with the crime of which she has been accused, I do not wish for any harm to come to her, and she is one of the most likely targets for violence in the clan. Even if she is charged, I intend to determine if she was acting under her own free will before doing anything else. As I am sure you have noticed, each of you come from packs under each of the lieutenants. I want the people to see that, no matter which whom they are aligned, they should act with fairness." Meesei explained.
