Ambrose flinches at the cane hitting the ground, but keeps his gaze level with the old man. "I'm not stupid sir. Even inside that black and shriveled heart, you still have some...twisted, distorted version of love. And I don't think your [i]son[/i] would be happy if you hurt a little girl with his name." He lifts his chin a it. "You know about the Broms, and you know we shift. I think with those bits of information you should be able to figure it out. And if not...well I'd think the shifters should be able to live on their own if they can outsmart you."

"You misjudge me, Ambrose." The Boss looks angrily at him. "My heart is bigger than yours will ever be. This [i]is[/i] for Harvey! And Anna! And Leena! And everyone of my children! And their children! And every member of my family!" He squeezes the top of his cane. "But especially Harvey." He looks to the sky as he begins to recount his memories. "Harvey was a golden retriever. More than anything he loved to run around. He told me he want his brothers and sisters to run and play with him..." He thrusts his arms out skyward. "He told me nothing could ever match the feeling of shifting! He told me he felt alone! And then one day..." he takes a deep breath, "Harvey couldn't run anymore." Suddenly the Boss strikes Ambrose with the end of his cane. "Harvey could never run again! And Harvey would never be with his siblings! And he'd never see them shift!" With each exclamation he struck Ambrose and then stops, panting. "But Harvey... My little golden retriever, lay in my lap in the backyard while his breath left him and asked me if his siblings would run with him someday... I will never retract that promise." His eyes filled with a fire. "You, Ambrose, will be my vessel. You will lead them to me and I will capture them like the cattle fodder they are."
