DRAKE: “Moring Mitch. What do you have to report?” “Well I got the men set up with Darius, they should be heading out as we speak, I told them that it would be two on two off and if they want to mix it up or how they want to handle it was up to them, but that it was secret, The cover story for them being off the roster is that they are helping to deal with security logistics for the ball.” I tell him. “Good. Now what about the Marla Dedi issue?” “Clay’s sister wants a bit of revenge on them for blaming her for something they did in school, what? I don’t know, we will have to get that from her.” “Hopefully, they won’t suspect her if there is bad blood between them.” I say to him. “We will just have to wait and get the story from her.” He tells me. There is a knock on my door. “Come.” I call out. The door opens, and a girl about James and Jessie’s age is standing in the doorway. She is about 5’7” with ash blond hair and slate blue eyes, rather pretty. “Come in.” I tell her. “Alpha, Delta. My brother Clay said I should come to your office. Am I in trouble?” She asked as she entered my office. “No sweet girl, just the opposite. I heard you had some trouble with a couple of girls in school. I would like you to tell me about it.” I tell her. “Oh, ok, the P.E. teacher picks a person to be their helper every two weeks, so every two weeks it’s someone new, not everyone gets picked, but pretty much most of the class does. I was picked, and I guess Marla and Dedi didn’t think that I should have been, because every time we would have team sports indoors they would have someone distract me with a bunch of questions and they would mess with the score board, they would subtract 1 or 2 points from the team they were rooting for, add 4-5 points to the opposite team and then tell the teacher I was cheating for the team that was ahead and so the points would be removed and given to the other team. I got in trouble with the teacher and lost my place as helper and got a D for a grade for the 2 weeks I was supposed to be the helper for, which in turn brought my total grade down to a C.” She tells us. “Do you have proof of what you just told us?” I asked her. “You can verify it with a couple of my friends, after the second time it happened, I asked them to watch the score table, not the game. They made sure that they were on opposite sides and subs for the players.” She tells us. Smart girl, I think to myself. “I will check your story with your friends, and if true, I will get your grade changed, but I need your help with an issue regarding Marla and Dedi. Do you think you can help?” I asked her. “I will do my best, Alpha. What is it you need me to do?” “I will need you to get close to them, make them think you are one of them, get them to trust you, so that they talk to you.” I tell her. “I should be able to do that, they don’t know I know what they did, so I should be able to worm my way in.” “I would like to let my parents and a couple of my friends know, so they don’t get mad at me.” She says. “Are they the same friends I will need to talk to, to verify your story?” I asked her. She just nods her head. “You may indeed tell your parents, but I will tell your friends when I talk to them to verify what happened in school. Just write down their names, and I will make sure they understand that you are helping me with an issue regarding them.” I hand her a piece of paper and a pen. She writes down her friends' names and numbers. “Please tell your parents that what you are doing is secret, and the fewer people who know, the better. We are trying to catch them and punish them.” I tell her as I reach for the paper, she hands it back to me. I read the names she has written down. (May Thorsen and Julie Haff.) “Thank you.” I say to her. “Thank you, Alpha.” She says to me. “You may go.” I nod my head to her. She leaves my office. “We need to know if Jessie was part of this issue as well.” I say to Mitch. He just nods. “Well, I have two interviews to conduct, so I will let you get back to it.” I tell him. “Alpha.” He says as he heads out the door.

KESKA: After driving to the post office and mailing the invitations, we talk Stephen into letting us drive to the human town where Mackie and I go to the local restaurant and grab a couple of applications to fill out when we get home. This fits the bill perfectly, they are looking for a dish washer, and a bus person, Mackie and I can do either one no problem. The rest of the week fell into a routine of driving lessons, Aikido classes, running the obstacle course, and the archery range. It was nice not having Jessie around and having to walk on eggshells around her. We couldn’t get our driving test scheduled until Wednesday of next week, so we just kept up with our lessons. That Saturday, James, Jessie, Star, Wyatt, and Beta Gregg came home, and things sort of went back to me being on guard around Jessie all the time.

DRAKE: I have all the pieces in place. Before the kids get home, the cabin is being watched, Tara is in place hanging out with Marla and Dedi, and Jessie now that she is home. Marla and Dedi met up with Kirk and Rodney a couple of times. The 5 of them went to the cabin, and the report I got was that they made Tara and Rodney nail the windows shut. Now we just wait and watch to see who does what so we can catch them in the act, and punish them accordingly, that is, if Corla lets us punish them before she takes matters into her own mouth, so to speak. I link Keska. *“Please come to my office.” “Yes, Father.”* I close the link.

KESKA: I was hanging out with Mackie and Liam at Nana’s, running the obstacle course, when I got the link from Father. “I have to go.” I tell them. “Where?” Liam asked, “Father wants to see me.” I say. “You didn’t do anything.” Mackie says. “Yes, but with Jessie home, who knows what I got blamed for.” I say. “I don’t think Dad would do that to you anymore.” Liam says. “That has yet to be proven, but I can’t keep him waiting. I’ll be back, unless he decides I need to be put in the cells.”
