A knock at the door brought us back to reality.

  Wolfie leaped off of me like I'm a pile of hot coals.

  And, now we're back to this.

  Happy opened the door, just as Wolfie made it to the opposite side of the room.

  I held back an eye roll.

  Happy looked to Wolfie and immediately seemed to jump into a silent conversation with him. Probably through their weird mind link thing.

  Happy didn't look so true to his name during their little exchange, and Wolfie mirrored him.

  Happy's vision darted to me for a split second, then back.

Wolfie gave a strained nod.

They seemed to get out of their little trance, training their eyes back on me.

  Well, that was definitely about me.

  But I don't have the energy to wonder what about me.

  Wolfie cleared his throat, "The Alpha and Master brought the dagger here for testing. I'm assuming that means you have a lab somewhere," he finished with a blank face.

  They don't know we have a lab? Does that mean they didn't take it?

"Yes Alpha, they do," Emily answered from right outside the door.

Well, guess not.

"It's a few miles east of here," She informed.

Wolfie nodded, "Well, let's head over." He turned to Happy, "Do we have the dagger?"

"Yes Alpha, I packed it up and it's in your office."

"Good."

"Yes, only one problem," I cut in flatly, "you have most of our forensics and chemistry teams locked up. I'm pretty sure if they thought yours could handle it they would have gone to your pack."

Wolfie's jaw worked as he gritted out the words, "This is my pack, first of all. Second of all. . . You're right," he practically spat. "How many people do you think we'll need?"

Well, that was easy.

  Now let's see how far I can get him.

"Depends, do they get to stay free?" I raised a brow.

"Of course not, there's trouble in the cells every day," he glared at me.

"Proof that it's not working," I argued. "And there hasn't been trouble outside the cells in weeks. You should let them rejoin their families."

"As a reward to the people in the cells for misbehaving?" It was his turn to raise a brow.

"As a way to prevent further problems. I'm telling you, everyone's getting restless, the people in the cells and under house arrest, and you don't want that," I told him. "My people may have done what you said to keep the peace, but don't mistake that as weakness. We're fighters. So you better start being reasonable or you're going to see that side of us sooner rather than later."

Wolfie growled.

"And we need to go scavenging again in a few days. Remember that? Or were you just planning on letting us starve?"

"Enough," He gritted.

Hehe, he's mad.

"We will sort people out for scavenging when we return."
