Jana and Scout both scented it at the same time, as Scout turned around as her eyes shone briefly once again. "It's two wolfbloods." She said softly.

"How the bloody hell do you know that?!" TJ asked and Scout looked all too exasperated at him and his words as she growled.

"Because I'm watching them run toward us, right now." Scout snapped and Jana turned around quickly to be facing their fellow wolfbloods, as she found that Scout was right, they were indeed a pair of wolves. "Two scents, a very subtle difference between the two. I would say siblings." Scout said to Jana, who silently agreed with a simple nod.

A car nearly ran over them and Jana gasped, before the bigger wolf of the two easily leapt over the car and it was followed by the other, smaller one who took two jumps, the first one causing it to land on the front hood of the car before it jumped off.

"I swear... you have got to be joking right now." Scout grumbled, when she realized that she recognized the scent, vaguely from somewhere. "Why is it so familiar?" She mumbled to herself.

"Oh, see, now that, is what I am talking about! Running bold, all wolfblood style!" TJ had no clue what he was saying, as Jana growled at him with an infuriated look.

"No."

"Which is bad, obviously."

"Yeah."

"Call your mum, TJ! Now!" Scout ordered without hesitation and she took off running quickly after the wolfbloods, who were being chased by a van. "We have to hide them and quick." She spoke and Jana caught up to her, catching her words.

"Did you ring her?" Jana asked after they both heard that TJ had caught up before he was even there with them.

"Yeah, she said to stay put." TJ said and Jana shook her head, while Scout darted into the boatyard quickly with no words needed. "Am I talking to myself?" TJ followed them into the yard and Scout was farther up, as she was looking around carefully for the wolfbloods. She had located one, but the other scent was eluding her.

Which meant that the wolfbloods knew they were being tracked, so they layered their scents so that only one could be scented at a time.

"Thought that I was the one who couldn't take orders." Jana shushed TJ swiftly, before she nodded at Scout as the younger girl darted deeper into the boatyard.

"I'm here to help." Scout said softly and she knew that one of them was nearby, before she spun around and was face to face with a growling boy, one of the wolfbloods with yellow eyes and black veins crawling all over him.

Scout's eyes glowed yellow in the clear challenge response and snarled quickly, before she growled. "I'm just trying to help you!" She insisted, but then suddenly a whine was heard, as Scout's eyes widened.

"Emilia!" He shouted and the name, it hit Scout like a punch. She suddenly remembered where she knew the two wolfbloods from and it hurt to be able to remember.

"Wait!" But he had already pushed past her in the moment of recognition and he was already running. "TJ!" She called out, as Jana came running over, with TJ not far behind.

TJ had to try and restrain both Jana and Scout from attacking the man, as he had a tranquilizer gun, who would be taking the wolves to the animal park.

"Wait, wait, we are going to let my mum and Segolia handle this now... right?" TJ asked and Scout growled under her breath at him.

"This is my job, Terrence. Just in case you have forgotten about it, my job is tracking wolfbloods, finding them, and retrieving them. You know those wolfbloods, and so do I. They won't be able to last that long in a cage, while we wait for Imara, no wolfblood can."

"How do you know?" TJ asked and Scout snarled sharply at him, her wolf rising to the challenge and TJ fell back at the sight as emotions tore through Scout's face briefly.

"I just do!" Scout snapped at him at the words, and rather swiftly getting her wolf back under control right before her eyes quieted.

Then rather than responding to the original question with a clear proper answer, she simply took off running after the animal truck instead of wasting what she had started to be calling her precious time, on speaking to TJ.

Jana followed her without hesitation and Scout's eyes were reflective in the darkness of the moon. "You know the wolfbloods?" Jana asked.

"Yeah. I go to school with them... and so does TJ." Scout murmured and she was leaned up against the wall, trying to keep herself off of the camera.

"What is the plan?" Jana asked and Scout growled a little, and they both recognized the scent that had managed to follow them both and be even more of a pain in the ass then he had even been before.

"Getting rid of Terrence is the first step to it." Scout grumbled and after TJ had made a speech about being too cool and how they needed his street smarts and "mad skills," he somehow had not noticed the camera at all and nearly ruined it all before it had even begun. "Really, Terrence?"

"It's TJ!" TJ growled.

Scout looked around quickly at their surroundings before she took a couple of steps back and ran forward, kickin' off of the wall and vaulting over it.

Jana and TJ landed down on either side of her, as Scout's eyes glowed at once at the sight of the cages and she was trembling. "Easy, Scout, you need to stay calm." TJ reminded her silently as Scout growled briefly, but her veins had disappeared and surprisingly, her eyes were back to their dark brown.

They continued onward and nearly got themselves caught by a camera, as Scout darted backward into the dark a bit. She was in front, as she carefully walked silently with the others.

"Can you find them?" TJ asked and Scout shook her head, before she was stepping into the grass along with Jana.

"Eolas." Jana murmured as they had both been thinking the same thing, as Scout shut her eyes and felt her mind and senses, connecting with the earth as she opened her eyes and stares into the sky. "Have you got them?" Jana asked and Scout lifted her hand away from the grass.

"I have got them." Scout confirmed and she led the way, until they very nearly got caught again by yet another one of the many cameras in the area. "TJ, get us a count. Those two are goin' to wake up any minute." She murmured as she recognized that the bigger one, who she now knew to be Matei Covaci, was already starting to wake up. "Damn it." She cursed as TJ got to work counting out the seconds.
