Chapter 66: Chapter Sixty Six

Sandra came back into the room and found that everyone had settled once again. The murmurs among the hunters had finally come to a stop and there wasn’t anyone present that was trying to cause a fuss about what Katie had just revealed. Katie looked at her friend and beckoned for her to bring the polythene bag over.

Sandra still had no idea what was in the bag and was eager to find out just as everyone else in the room was. There was something that felt wrong with it. She’d said it was the evidence that she’d gathered from Kyle’s house when she’d gone there and that’s what everyone was interested in seeing. So much so that the meeting had come to a standstill with everyone waiting to see the contents the evidence would reveal to them.

Katie got the bag from her and lifted it above the table, upside down allowing all the contents of the bag to fall to the table. Numerous containers fell to the table piling into a small heap and the excess rolling all over the table. Some fell off, but Katie was not bothered by the mess she was making as her intended reaction was achieved. The entire room fell silent as they all knew what was meant to be in the orange translucent containers. Five of them were full though two fell to the ground.

Anthony got up and picked one of the containers that were full and broke the seal, taking a whiff of the pills that were inside. “There is no doubt about it... They are the same wolfsbane based drugs that were used to suppress Katie’s wolf side. These are many... enough to supply a pharmacy for a year. What’s the meaning of this?”

“He couldn’t dispose of them for fear of them being discovered by the others. So he kept them. By my count, they could keep him going until his birthday...” Katie said, “This proves that he was a werewolf.”

“Yes, it most definitely does. Now run us through how you came to this conclusion. I honestly can’t imagine how you came to this conclusion. I can’t imagine how you did. That is one boy I would never have thought you’d suspect,” he said.

Katie relayed everything that she’d used to find out that it was Kyle that had been the culprit, but in the end, she said something that hadn’t occurred to her since she’d found out Ash’s killer. “Now I wonder if Ash was trying to write Ash during the time that she was dying,” Katie said, thoughtfully.

.....

“What do you mean by that?” Jackeline asked. The two hadn’t been present at the time when all this happened and had not taken a look at the crime scene.

“The werewolf tried to write something before her life drained out of her. The letter ‘K’ was scribbled on the ground in blood after. The nearest person that was blamed was Katie, but now that we have this piece of information, it is clear that she was trying to write Kyle instead. Kyle was the only other person that had access to Katie’s weapons as well. Katie had a habit of handing him her bag when she didn’t need it,” Anthony said.

The words stung, informing Katie that every time she did that, she handed all her weapons to her enemy. “But if that’s the case, why didn’t Kyle ever take the chance to kill Katie when she least expected it?”

“Killing Katie was never his mission. Considering he ran when he did, he was instructed to gather information and report to the rogue king. We have reason to believe that he has not yet gotten far,” Anthony spoke.

“What might that be? Do you mean the werewolf I found interrogating early in the morning,” Jackeline asked.

“Yes, that one. Katie confirms that this wolf was heading in the direction of Kyle’s home when she captured it. If our hunch is true, Kyle forgot his drugs and this rogue volunteered to retrieve them,” Anthony continued to speak on Katie’s behalf having noticed how much it took for her to relay the entire part of the story of her investigation. She’d left out the part where the moon goddess had come down to speak to her and included his phone call and her time of realization.

Once everything was said, there was a moment of silence while the hunters present took in the information. “That boy had a good future. One that a Prometheus evaluation would have set straight,” Frost said.

“Katie, if you have the chance and you meet Kyle ever again, what will you do to him?” Jackeline asked Katie. Katie was quiet for a bit trying to interpret the question. In the end, she couldn’t come up with a desirable answer.

“I’d capture him for interrogation...” everyone let out the breath they’d been holding when she said only to hear a continuation that would make chills run down their spines, “but, if he gives me a reason to kill him, I won’t hesitate...” Her anger was clear, contained but just barely. All Kyle had to do was give Katie reason to stop valuing his life and he’d be dead.

“Fair enough, Rogue killer. I think that brings us to the end of this meeting,” Anthony said, allowing Katie and Sandra to take their seats, “Once again, we welcome Frost and Jackeline. Just to inform all of you, Brigadia is currently hosting the Sirius Royal family. So keep in mind that they are in town and you should do nothing to insult them while you are here. If any of you meet them, you are to treat them with respect.”

“Will they be meeting Katie?”

“No, they will not. They’ve been asked to wait until Katie is whole again so that they meet someone they will recognize by sight and scent as well. After all, the baby girl that they let go of was a werewolf, not a human. As such, we have given them the reasoning that we are to deliver a werewolf to them as they originally entrusted the Chase family a werewolf to care for. They do know, however, what their daughter looks like and will recognize her immediately given the chance,” Anthony explained.

“Whoever knew we would raise a werewolf girl in the Hunter’s Agency?” Kenneth chuckled.

“I know right... It’s like raising a puppy,” Samantha giggled. Katie gaped at the comments, recognizing the formation with which she was being cornered. It was not alien to find that the stubborn lot in this organization had found new ways to make her look ridiculous.

“I am no puppy,” she huffed.

“Oh, you’re just one of those types that look cute and can be very tough,” Brian pitched in.

“Oh, you mean like the times she ties up her hair using that lucky band of hers when she gets serious in a duel?” Trevor was the one to remind them this time.

“Now that is something I haven’t seen in a while. Katie, do you still carry around that yellow hairband with you?” Frost asked, finally getting interested in the bickering.

Katie dipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out the yellow hairband. It was an ordinary hair band elastic and made of cloth, except that upon it, a pin with the image of her guardians was attached, “Yeah, I carry it everywhere, although I haven’t used it in a while,” she said.

“I take it then that the rogue yesterday was not a challenge,” Jackeline asked her.

“No, that guy was specializing in stealth... there was nothing he could do to escape me,” she flipped the question...

“You know something... I know we are in the middle of a crisis right now, but when all this is over. And by that, I mean the Founder’s Festival and Katie’s shifting, let’s celebrate her birthday tomorrow night, here at the Hunter’s Agency,” Kenneth said. The idea seemed to lift everyone’s moods.

“Yeah, that would be nice. We’d have like a really big cake towering high up probably with eighteen tiers to mark her birthday,” Samantha beamed.

“Yeah, and we’d order drinks and food from that restaurant her parents told her that she likes so much. We all know Katie can’t turn down food with her pit for a stomach,” Trevor pitched in.

Everyone was marvelling at the idea of being able to have the party the next day and in turn causing a reaction that they didn’t know was going on. The whole chaos that currently had the hunters in a spell was stopped by something sudden and very unpredictable, well for everyone except the person that it came from. A rumbling sound caught everyone’s attention, echoing in the room, emanating from the famous rogue killer. The entire table went quiet and looked at the head of security. Katie dropped to the ground with her head in her hands. “My life is ruined,” she whined clutching her belly while she lay with her forehead placed on the ground.
