Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Messy Business
Bart watched the wolves, and their mates return to the Wolf’s Den bar with a cat. He’d enjoy thinking about the insanity that will ensure from that later. Now he needed to get his head in the game. The evidence collection was going well, but that’s because there wasn’t much to process. Jon claimed there was a scent trail from the people that broke into the vet clinic. He needed to study that to find a fresh start point where he could pick it up later after the human investigation cleared out of there. He wanted that point found before the trail got too mangled for him to identify it. Bart wanted to know if it led to one or more of the hunters or the rogues. For all the proof he had right now, the trail could lead to a bunch of hired goons from some land developer. Bart couldn’t see the lab doing this to wolf shifters knowingly, so either they didn’t know, or they now had a way to identify a wolf shifter from a human. That scared him. With his notebo
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Little Oddities
The gorgeous officer may have fascinated Grace. Bart Hebbs, was far too hyper focused on her to make Grace comfortable. She kept waiting for him to either ask her out for coffee, or tell her when they’ll be getting married. No pressure. No pressure at all. But all day he stuck to her side and steered her from one location to another, as if he were hiding something. Her Spidey sense was wreaking havoc to her train of thought that it was driving her mad. Now he had to disappear to work. Yet he kept going to speak with a small group of people who were no one in all of this. They weren’t investigating anything, just bystanders. What was going on?Like most scenes of disaster, there were groups of people lingering. Some talked, while others gawked.Grace noticed the vacationing hunters hung about, glaring at people. They seemed unhappy with what others were doing. Not a single hunter showed interest in the fire or what was happening. The hunters huddled together,
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Getting Down to Brass Tacks
Bart was investigating the scent as best as he could in this form. No point in terrifying the innocent, mundane people around here. With the hunter-types and the guys he worked with around, he was more likely to get shot. It’s not like the provincial park where a wolf or wolf-dog could be explained away. So, there he was sniffing around when he hears a voice behind him. “What are you doing?” A familiar feminine voice asked. He would swear later that he could hear her raise a questioning eyebrow in the very tone of her voice. Crap. His stomach and heart nearly fell out of his body when he heard it. Grace was standing right behind him. What did she notice? Would she say something? How did he explain this? He felt like a guy who’d been caught by his girlfriend kissing another woman. “Hey, uh… you’ll not believe me if I told you.” All that ran through his head was ‘Don’t ask. Don’t ask. Don’t ask.’ “Try me slugger.” Ohhh…he knew without turning around to loo
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Paul’s Findings
Paul thought his job would be to look in on the search, but leave it to the experts. His pack mates, really. They trained these wolves to human standards to be forest rangers. Little did the humans know they knew more about the forests on a bad day than any human could teach them. Dog and human were wolf shifters. Smarter, faster, and stronger. They knew the territory and how to find a person better than anyone. So, what was holding them back? That’s why Paul was here. To find out what they knew, they couldn’t tell a human cop. “We’re in luck with this missing persons’ case. The trail hasn’t ended at the edge of the park, like the others. Which means they’re missing hikers, not missing persons. We’re closing in on them. Hopefully, we’ll have them before nightfall.” Alex looked up from the satellite radio he’d just received a check in on from one team of searchers. “Not missing like the others. Well, I guess that’s better than adding numbers to the list. No s
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Where are the Rogues?
“Rob, we need to do something. If the hunters didn’t set those fires, then it’s the rogues. We’re running out of guilty parties. When you found Old Man Jacobs, there wasn’t any fire around him, so he’s ruled out.” Jon washed the floors as Rob organized the bar. “The door to the backstairs wasn’t locked, but the door to the shop was forced open. My guess, he left the backdoor unlocked, and locked the shop door. Hiding the break-in to witnesses. We know about the recent appearances of the rogues. The supposed hunters spending a lot of time in town.” The old building had two back doors. One door led to stairs going to the apartment and a second door leading into the store. “Yeah, for hunting on the off-season, they’re very conspicuous. The rogues, there’s been another seven sightings, two were physical. One may explain the break-in at the clinic. They were looking for medical supplies and medicines that work on wolf shifters.” Jon now finished with the floors,
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Panic in the Henhouse
“What happened to your neck?! That looks painful.” Becky couldn’t believe Jane Ann walking around with a huge bandage on her neck. “Nah, but it was a long time coming. I should have known hormones would rule us. Like a couple of randy teens, we got into it, and you know what I mean by into it. Well, instinct and nature got the better of us. I knew it would happen. I didn’t think to tell you about it. Sorry, for worrying you.” “You still haven’t told me what happened.” Becky looked at Jane Ann askance. How could she be so calm about this? “Okay, this is typical of wolf shifters. Each group has a way of marking their mates. Wolves, it’s bites. Bears leave claw marks. Cats… Well, don’t get me started on cats. They’re just plain weird.” “You’ve still not explained anything beyond there’s a zoo out there of animals pretending to be human.” “It’s a mating thing. This is like a permanent ring. Seal the deal for all time. Becky, these guys
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Out in the Open
The two wolves, as Becky, thought of Rob and Jon. So human, yet so not. They came in looking exhausted. It was almost four-thirty in the morning. Why were they all still awake? She didn’t know. “The bar is ready for tomorrow. Bart and Paul are tracking some scent Jon found in your clinic, Becky. So, all is not lost. They will see what they can find. We suspect the rogues used the fire as a diversion to get into the clinic for medical supplies and medications. There was a physical altercation, and we know at least one rogue was injured.” “So, what you’re saying is that I was lucky I wasn’t there for them to kidnap.” Becky couldn’t believe it. This is what Rob was protecting her from. Jon grunted as he nodded, along with Rob. “Or they could have mistaken Janie as the vet and taken her, thinking she could help the injured fool.” Jane Ann gave him a look of alarm, before she turned her round eyes on Becky, looking for some kind of assurance or support.
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Tracking
Bart and Paul left there through the back way and headed down through the alley to the clinic. This was easy for them to walk it. They could dodge around the dumpsters and overgrown bushes that vehicles couldn’t. “This is where Grace interrupted my tracking.” “Is she really your mate?” “If I was a cat, she would be catnip.” “Okay, enough said. Forget I asked. That’s an image I don’t want to see.” Paul waved Bart off from further discussing this subject, and got back into searching for the scent. “When you find the scent, you’ll know. It’s a chemical trail that vaguely smells like lemons or citrus. I think it’s a cologne or shampoo they’re wearing, but there’s nothing natural about it.” “Oh, geez. I got it. It smells like that old spray furniture polish, but a knock down cheap version made in a lab.” Paul’s voice trailed off and he looked at Bart for confirmation. “How did I miss that connection?” Bart pulled out h
