Raised by Lions

Chapter 54: The Problem Continues

It's been two weeks since the fight with Riz in the showers and Legosi had just finished packing his things for the weekend. He was looking forward to letting off some steam during the Turf Wars.

He knocked on the door between his and Louis' rooms before walking through. They usually left together on a Friday afternoon and drove their motorcycles side by side until they had to split off into their respective territories.

His first thought was that Louis wasn't there, then he began to notice all the signs of a struggle in the room. They were more like blaring sirens to Legosi though.

The bed was ruffled, Louis' sneakers were in two different places instead of neatly placed by his bedside like usual, and the window was wide open. There was a definite struggle that occurred here.

Legosi spotted the piece of paper on the floor between the bed and window and bent down to pick it up. He read it and couldn't decide if he was just pissed off or if he would unleash hellfire tonight.

'If you want to see your precious deer alive again, meet me under the bridge outside of town at midnight tonight. No weapons. No backup.
-R'

Legosi knew Riz was behind this, but he was sure the bear couldn't be working alone, he wouldn't have been able to pull this off so quietly if he was.

Legosi found Louis' phone still in it's spot on the bedside table and considered letting Free or Agata know about the situation, but he hesitated.

It was Turf War night tonight. If he told the Shishigumi, or even the Dokugumi, it would complicate things more than they needed to be.

Instead, Legosi put Louis' phone on 'Do not Disturb' and slipped it into his pocket. He did the same to his own cellphone and grabbed his things, heading down to where the motorcycles were parked.

He was going to deal with this and he was going to do it on his own.

Agata frowned down at his phone. He wasn't getting through to Louis. He just hasn't shown up at the Manor yet and they were an hour away from when the Turf Wars would be starting.

"Still worried about Louis?" Free asked, throwing his arm around Agata's shoulders. Agata slumped slightly, "We have to leave soon and none of us have heard from him."

Free sighed and took Agata's phone off him. "Look, calm down. Fawn can handle himself and if he really needs us, he'll call, or Legosi would call," Free said, patting Agata's back to try and reassure him. The look Agata gave him though, made it clear that it wasn't working.

"He's probably just in a deadzone somewhere, or running late for whatever reason. We'll see him before the end of the night is out, you'll see," Free said and just in time too, Miguel was calling for everyone to get to the cars.

Savon could tell the others also realised Legosi wasn't around. Their wolf was never late on Turf War nights, so something was up.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the time to go looking for him and they couldn't back out of the fights because that would lose them all their territory.

So, with everyone wondering where their illusive pup is, they made their way to the usual spot to wait for the Turf Wars to begin.

Legosi parked his motorcycle about a block away from the bridge. It was half an hour before Midnight and the Turf Wars were already going strong. He had no worries that he'd get out of this fight alive, but just in case he was badly injured, he turned his own and Louis' phone back to calls and placed them in the storage space under his motorcycle seat.
