The mother began to sob as the father face seemed to get angrier which might of seemed physical impossible beforehand.

"You going find this ruffian!" Demanded the father in a short burst.

"The poor child must be terrified" the mother gasped between sobs. Failure dripped from every syllable

As the father stared at his wife in disbelief, it became apparent to the detectives that the opposite emotions of these two were going to complicate matters, they looked at each other with that weathered experienced look. Both detectives just nodded in appeasement.

"If you can excuse us for the moment, we need to figure best way to track him" Jen said then she her partner pulled away.

"So , how we going to handle this?" John asked his partner

The cabin smelled of pine. The doors burst open as huge muscular man dressed like a lumberjack bounced into the room like a schoolgirl who had the juiciest gossip to share. The occupants all jumped at the sudden commotion, but relaxed as they saw who it was.

The new arrival walked past the celebrated wall that was decorated with beast heads. Some of the mounts weren't even fully animal , some where in mid transformation from human form. The center had a pair of wolves. One male and one female. The new arrival beamed at them. This got the full attention of the group. The new arrival moved to the podium and faced his comrades in arms.
