Bane rubbed his head and said “I wasn’t scamming...she asked for directions. You can’t tell a newbie in town how to get somewhere in the heart of the city. It’s way easier just to take them there...” scarlet looked at the girl and muttered softly “the only problem is her voice...they look a lot a like...but not the voice...”

Scarlet looked at Hector and said “I am in need of a hand around here. Myles was helping till his mother got sick...it’s just been me during the busy hours. If she can clean and help cook I’d hire her” Bane leaned to Hector and muttered “my contact never showed at the docks...I think they were delayed. I need a better place to set up the met”

Bane waved his hand at her and said “no offense...just didn’t want to see you get grabbed. A lot of that happening lately...Hector, the owner of the that pet shop? Her daughter was taken a few days ago...I don’t think the officials heard about it. Can you send it up the message chain?”

Midnight saw her shadow find a lead and she jumped up and said “the time of rest is not now, not while those souls are waiting for rescue. Come, we are on the hunt” she ran after the shadow, Fenrir following at her heels.

These attackers might have information...time to weed them out...” she moved her hand and the shadows around them started to move and take shape. After a moment four huge wolves stood by Fenrir and she said “fetch boys...”

The wolves took off in the direction of the shots, lady midnight standing tall now and lifting a shadow to block the next volley. “This is not the rebels...this proves it. We need to get eyes on one of the...” she suddenly gasped, holding her chest. Pain racked thru her. One of the wolves must have been hit with magic. She lowered her head, trying to push the pain back. 

Then her eyes glowed silver and said softly “hunt as a pack...one of you has found a target...” they heard yelling and barking, then she gasped again and took a step backward, the pain getting worse. Then the yelling stopped and Fenrir barked. 

She was panting and looked up at the lord next to her. “Fenrir caught one...”
