CHAPTER ELEVEN **Tag**

Penny laid on her husband's stomach, his body was well-toned. No Dad body, in his genes. He stroked her long brown hair as they looked up at the ceiling. Penny was in her thoughts about the Lycon meeting, and their ignorance about the murder. Almost purring under his touch.

"I hate to say this. But, Samuel...

"My dad, is right." Mitch finished her sentence. "I know. He's always right, when the topic is killing."

"Is that envy or admiration in your voice?" Penny asked.

"I don't know baby. I just learned to live with it. Don't argue about war with him. I just listen."

"I'm glad we're in Delaware and the full moon will be out tonight. Baby, I get to run with my sister's. We haven't done that, in years."

"I get that wolf pussy tonight." Mitch gave a deep belly howl.

"Don't get crazy. Mitch Frankling. I'm having anymore of your pups, I ain't Quarter's, out here still having pups at this age."

"Oh, I don't want no more either, just you, and the full moon." He ran his hand down her nose. "I can't remember the last time we ran with no kids around."

"Before Vandy was born." She told him.

Someone knocked at the door, lightly, but franticly. "Who is it?" Mitch yelled, but they could hear nothing from the bed. "Let me go check it out, baby."

Mitch walked to the door yelling- who is it, and Avery rushed in holding his phone out, looking confused and frustrated. He turned the phone around to Mitch showing Modi-2 on his phone, yelling in old Norse. Avery did not speak old Norse.

"What is he saying?"

Penny grabbed the phone. "Talk slow Modi, slow, I don't understand you. Shit! Slow down, slow."

Modi-2 was no longer in his cave, he was showing Penny a different place, all she could see were scratches. There were deep scratches in the walls, tearing through the paint and the furniture. The scratches took off the wood on the door frame. A chaotic fight took place there, an angry fight took place there, leaving only destruction.

"Where are you? What is that?" Penny did not understand what he was showing her.

"There were two! It, took two, two girls. Cousin! They find her today! Killed the same way! They are granddaughters of the Fold, berserkers! Her name, Jofrid."

"Slow down Modi. Please!" the phone shook and Betty's face appeared.

"Penny, they killed two of them, both girls and they were cousins. They just found the other girl's body. These girls are like Kyle's age, granddaughters of the Fold shaman."

"They are royals." Avery let out a deep breath and sat down because he was out of his league here.

Avery knew lots of things, but not this, none of them knew this. They were the Apex predators, of the supernatural world, they did the hunting. Now – something was hunting them.

"Alejandro will go Professor-X, if we don't figure this out. He will find and kill them. All the human's with the DNA."

"Well, it's a solution." Mitch told him.

"It is not the correct solution? We know this and Alejandro does not care. If he gets the green light, he will go kill hundreds. The man has no reasoning. Have you ever had a conversation with the man?"

"Naw, it doesn't like him." Mitch and Alejandro had bad blood between them. Penny hung up the phone, she looked lost in her own thoughts. "Call your sister!" Mitch told her.

"Fuck that." Penny rolled her eyes, she not calling Nickle for help.

Avery laughed "Noir said the same thing. You three, need to go over yourselves and reach out to Nickle. She is your sister, and she is the Empress."

"Avery, she doesn't care. And I know you sent Johnny Mae to live with her. To be your spy, because you don't trust her ass either!"

"You three will need her help! We all will need her help!" Avery walked out the hotel room. "Think about it, I'm sure you'll come to the right decision."

"Ha! I'm getting ready to run tonight and make plans for my 4th of July bar-be-que. I'm not calling Nickle, for any reason!"
