-MILA- We walked into the warehouse. I turned my nose up at the thick layer of dust and sand covering the ground."Really? He couldn't keep the place clean?""I don't think housework is on the top of his list right now, Mila."I looked around the bare area, "Do you smell anything?"He turned to me with a frown, "Do you?"I shook my head, "No. I don't think my sense of smell has heightened at all. Maybe it only works when I'm in wolf form?""No, it should work in human form too. It will probably get better with time."I leaned back against the wall, "Okay. So I'll stand over here, while you go sniffing around."Sighing, I leaned my head back against the wall and gasped. Another glimpse. I saw Lowell walking around the room, he looked like he was nervous about something. On edge. He was on the phone, talking animatedly. And then it was gone."I just got another one of those glimpses. I saw Lowell walking around on the phone."Lobo frowned, "You're getting glimpses without touching an

-MILA- The hospital was cold and I hated the smell of it. I always hated hospitals, and my last few frequent visits made it all worse.I held my arms close to myself as I stepped into the elevator. Lobo was outside in the parking bay waiting for me to get back. It helped to know he was here, but I was still nervous.I stepped out of the elevator and walked along the corridor until I cot to the room Candace was in."Hi," I walked in, noticing that Lowell was nowhere to be seen."Mila, how are you?" Candace smiled as I walked over to her."I should be asking you that question. How are you feeling?""I'm much better. I'm getting released tomorrow.""I'm so sorry I did this to you.""I know, honey, you don't have to worry about that. Lowell explained everything to me, I know you had no control over yourself.""I nodded, "Yeah. But I still feel terrible that I put you in here," I glanced around, "Where is Lowell?"Candace shrugged, "I have no idea. He called me a little while ago to let m

-MILA-Lobo was meeting with Lowell to discuss the attack on the Pack the previous night while I stayed at the Pack grounds.There wasn't much to do, but I sat with Betty and Shauna going over ideas to get back into the good graces of the humans.None of us wanted to live being shunned from the lives we were once used to, and the news was traveling fast not to trust us. Soon, there would be nowhere left for us to go.We would have no choice but to hide in the shadows."I don't think they will ever trust us again after everything.""Yes they will,' I insisted, "We just have to gain their trust again. We can't expect it to happen overnight.""And how do we do that?" Shauna asked.I shrugged, "I have no idea. We could start by doing acts of good. It will show them we want to help."Betty scoffed, "How? They don't want us anywhere near them, Mila.""I know that. But we have to do something to gain their trust," I thought back to Lowell's claims, "And I might have just the idea to do it."

-MILA-I woke up with my body stiff and in pain. The fire was dead.I stretched in an attempt to dull the pain of my aching bones. "Yeah, do the right thing, Mila. Don't listen to anyone. Now look where it's gotten you." I scoffed at myself.Getting to my feet I retrieved the phone and switched it on. Calling Lobo."Mila?""Yes. I wanted to let you know I'm okay. Well, I've been better, but I'm alive.""Mila, where are you? Let me come and get you.""No. Lowell will only have you followed and then we'll be in a worse predicament.""Then I'll kill him.""Lobo, if he ends up dead, who's the first person they're going to look at? Don't do anything stupid," I sighed, attempting to change the subject, "Did Betty get back alright?""She's not with you?""What? No, she's not with me. The last time I saw her was at the television station when I was running off.""Well, she hasn't been back to the Pack grounds, and she hasn't made contact with any of us. We assumed she was with you.""Shit. D

-MILA-I was laying on the cold, cement floor in the basement. Whatever contraption Lowell placed around my neck was working to keep me from shifting. It struck me as strange that he would have a collar ready and waiting, but it seemed he planned to use it on me.The voltage was higher than it should have been and made me feel like I was getting tasered.Once he snapped it around my neck and zapped me a few times I immediately shifted back to human form. He zapped me a few more times before he left me laying on the ground naked.I was still shivering when I forced myself to my hands and knees, my body was fighting against me. I shivered as I grabbed hold of the stair railing to help me to my feet.Looking around I tried to find something to cover myself with, but there was nothing in the basement I could make use of.I looked up, listening for any signs of movement on the floor above. When I heard nothing after a few moments I made my way up the stairs. I leaned against the door, th
