Wolves of Roma

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Evelyn couldn't believe it.

Finally she was driving, after more than three months of being confined to the compound and fighting for survival she was driving, driving her mother's Honda. She had never owned a car but she occasionally used her mom's Honda. She felt free as if she had broken the shackles that confined her, she never thought she would be so thrilled to drive!

While she was driving to her destination she recalled the conversation Jeff had with the pack members. They were expecting a few guest to arrive at the hotel owned by the pack in the town, they needed extra hands and wanted anyone to volunteer and the best part they get paid!

Anyone who was interested were asked to give their name out to a Roma wolf waiting outside and then they needed to report to the hotel and the Roma wolves would short-list the candidates they wanted to work in the hotel.

She couldn't grab it fast enough, she added her name to the list right away and once she was done with her work...most important one. She would then drive down to the hotel and try her luck out, some extra cash sure would not hurt.

She had finally reached her destination and gently guided her car in to the parking lot and parked, she got out, gathered her things and stood straight staring at the building in front of her...a building she had not seen since the rogue attach started...her high school. In determined strides she walked in to the building.

"We need the top floor secure" Adrian said to a bunch of the men standing in front of him.

"Alex will set up electronic surveillance, anyone who is setting foot in this floor has to be thoroughly vetted by us, we should do background checks and background checks on the background checks done" The men nodded. They understood the seriousness they could not effort to fuck this up.

"I need all windows draped and closed, I want our men to take up positions in opposite building rooftops, every rooftop within a sniper range" he added.

The hotel had been taken over by the Roma wolves completely. Adrian had the list of folks from Nick's pack who volunteered for various jobs in the hotel, the hotel has been in a closed down state as many of the staff were wolves from Nick's pack and most of them were now dead. Nicks pack was just one third of its original strength, they had saved this pack from the brink of extinction. He had been vetting names all this morning and paused on the name on the list.

Evelyn Parker

He paused for a moment and even though she had not shown up yet he put a tick mark next to her name. His brother trusted her and he trusted Alex's judgement. He moved on, he needed to have the list ready, all volunteers were asked to report to the hotel in the afternoon and even the slightest suspicion would be a cross mark on the list and they would have to go back.

"Miss Parker!" the school counsellor exclaimed "You sure are a sight for these sore eyes! Come have a seat, how have you been?"

His enthusiasm was understandable, she was one of the brightest students of the school, who showed promise. The school staff had been disappointed when she had to withdraw due to family emergency that too close to term, the current term ended in just three months.

Evelyn sat down, she was use to preferential treatment by both teachers and administrative staff and she was in fact the" goody-two-shoes" of the school.

There was a fierce competition between schools to churn out successful students, it meant higher rating and more funding and she fell right smack in to that category.
