The Girl in the Lake

Jackie's Legacy

Thirty two

Era look at the wide screen in front of her. She is currently on a tele-conference with the five team leaders of Fur-renheit.

Noah leads the Alpha team. Alvin, Kelly, Jackson and Tanya command the teams Bravo, Charlie, Delta and Echo, consecutively.

These team leaders were Era's most trusted people. They went through rigid investigations before they were placed in their respective positions.

Fur-renheit is an unknown organization to the public but it has been around for seven years. The public may not know about them but some of their works has been in the headlines.

Era built the organization in honor of her beloved savior and friend, Jackie. When Jackie saved her all those years ago, she made a promise that she would rescue abandoned dogs and other pets from bad and irresponsible owners.

She started salvaging dogs until the teams found other fur animals during rescues. She also saved endangered species along the way.

The main mission of the organization is to save animals but they also put the person that done them wrong into justice.

Fur-renheit dig the profile of the abusers. They sent the profile to the right department in the government. At times, they also share the video in the social media. In turn, the netizens will make an uproar in the public. From there, the authorities will investigate.

"Team Echo apprehended a cargo holding gorillas in Marcus town. They were transported in the Ellen Wildlife. The authorities already have the name of the shipper." Tanya started that made Era focused on the meeting.

She nodded and turned to the other female team leader.

"My team rescued 10 dogs in St. Carlos county. Most of them were abandoned in the street except for the three. They were abused by their previous owners. I already sent the individual reports on the three cases." Kelly reported.

"Noah, please give me the profile of those people." Era ordered to the Alpha team leader.

"On it, Miss James."

"Janna Anderson has been caught by the authorities." Alvin disclosed also.

"Is she the one responsible for the amputation of the pit bulls in Athens?" Era butted.

He nodded. "Those babies are already adopted by three different couples." He followed with a smile.

The female boss motioned her hand for him to continue.

"Anderson was caught drunk driving and the officers found a stash of illegal drugs in the car. She was also tested positive for illegal drug use."

"That's a good news!" Jackson commented.

"Moreover, she was with Frank Lopez in the car." The team Bravo leader added.

Tanya's eyes widen. "That guy has a pit bull ring in my territory. Where is that asshole?"

They were not able to stop the chuckles with her outburst. Tanya is known for speaking her mind.

"Hold your horses, woman." Alvin said as he laughs. "Turns out, Lopez is Anderson's boy toy."

"A match made in heaven. They will spend their forever in prison." Tanya reacted with a wide smile.

"Jackson?" Era turned to the other team leader.

"Yes, Miss James. I already forwarded the case of Lawrence Langdon and Derrick Wu to the authorities." Said the Delta team leader. "Aside from being a casino addict, Langdon is into bestiality."

"What?!"

"Yes, Tanya. He's having sex with animals that has four legs." Jackson confirmed. "Fortunately, the loan sharks are after his sorry ass since he's neck deep in debt for years."

Era nodded and leaned in her chair.

"Wu is a whole different story. He believed that sacrificing monkeys in his altar will make him attain powers. It is unfortunate that some people believed him. He also made some of his female followers his wives. These women are under twenty five years old."

"A busy guy." Kelly retorted with a frown. "How old is he?"

"Wu is forty-five years old."

"A cougar. How many women are we talking about?"

"About eight. He's more of a pedophile, Tanya. Five of the females were under eighteen."

"Can I shot his balls, Miss James?" Tanya reacted. Her face red with rage.

"Hey!" The three males responded.

Era tapped the table when they started arguing. Her team leaders maybe reliable and good at their jobs but they were kids at times.

When all of them remember that they were at a meeting with their boss, they quieted and turned to Era. Embarrassment is visible in each of their faces.

"Good job, guys. Sent me the copy of your reports."

"Yes, Miss James." They chorus.

Era stood up and turned the monitor off before leaving the conference room.
