 The next few days went by quietly, Wade cut down on the security assigned to Tempest, having only Trae and Lukas Shadow her. Her days started to flow into a semblance of normality, thankfully there were no more victims, but always at the edge of everything there was concern.

Wade stayed away hoping it would help in regards to the Rogue coming after Tempest. All his Enforcers except for Trae and Lukas washed themselves and their clothing with the solution Tempest had given them, they also stayed close by, hidden from sight.

Daytime seemed less of a risk as there were so many people around, so tensions build in the late afternoon leading into evening. Lukas stayed with Tempest during the day, Trae took over in the late afternoon meeting them at The Den where they still went for dinner. They all knew not to get too relaxed, it was at times like that something usually happened.

Trae went ahead to make sure the parking area was clear, he'd then let Lukas know it was safe so he could bring Tempest out to her car. For whatever reason, Tempest sensed something in the air, be it change or violence it unsettled her. She waited by the door with Lukas, when she scented blood she grabbed his hand. "He's here, the Rogue, he's in the parking area." She took a breath, "Trae's down, I can scent his blood. Lukas this might be the only opportunity we have to get him."

Lukas frowned, but knew she was right. "What do you want to do?"

"Notify everyone first, when they're in position I'll go out to meet Trae as if we haven't noticed a problem. The Rogue will come after me Lukas, I know he will."

Lukas shook his head uncertain if he should do as she suggested. In the end the scent of his friend's blood urged him to do what he had to do. "I'll make the call. Move back into the main room as if you've forgotten something. The men will be close, so it won't take long for them to get into position."

Tempest gave him a nod and moved back into the main room looking around as if she'd forgotten or lost something. Stephan came towards her sensing that all was not right and she chatted with him while. Lukas sent out a message to every Enforcer as to what had happened and what they intended doing.

His phone rang and he knew without looking at it who it was. "Alpha," he said when he answered it.

"What the hell is going on there? You have to be crazy if you think I'll support what you..."

"Sorry Wade, but would you like to try and reason with the Doc when Trae is out there wounded?" there was silence on the other end, "that's what I figured. You have to remember, she's a Doctor, a Healer and she'll be thinking with that side of her brain."

Wade knew exactly what he meant, "If anything happens to her!"

He didn't need to elaborate, Lukas knew he'd be dead-meat if Tempest got hurt. "I'm aiming for no more injuries, now if you'll excuse me I have a nervous Doctor to calm before we go out and bag that bastard!" he hung up before Wade could answer him.
