the original story turned into something completely different
down the line after many people manipulated and embellished the
truth. In the version he had heard about the sultry Scout, she had an
insatiable sexual appetite and her imagination for pleasure would turn
any werewolf into a whimpering pup.
What he wouldn’t give to put that claim to the test. Having sex
with the beautiful warrior would fulfill so many of his fantasies for
sure.
But that would have to wait. Right now he needed to contact one
of his superiors and tell him what happened tonight. Then they’d tell
him what to do next. As he parked his car in front of his apartment
building, he flipped open his cell phone. He scrolled down the
numbers of the Rogue contacts and wondered who he should call. He
had personal contact with Norman, Jonathan, and Oscar. Of the three,
he trusted Oscar the most because he seemed like a straight shooter.
He never beat around the bush and always told him straight to his face
how things stood.
Selecting his number, he waited while the phone rang. Oscar
picked up after the fifth ring, sounding groggy.
“Hello?”
Theo heard what sounded like Oscar rubbing his face to wake up.
“Oscar, is this a bad time?” he asked, a little hesitant, fearing
maybe he’d be reprimanded for disturbing him.
“Umm, yeah, I was sleeping,” Oscar mumbled.

“Sorry I woke you, but we were told if we spotted any Voyeurs,
we should notify one of our superiors.”
“Wait a second while I turn on the light.” Theo heard rustling on
the phone, and a few minutes later, his superior came back on. “Yeah,
so you were saying you saw a Voyeur? Who was it?”
“Yeah, at the Raven’s Nest tonight. It was Triala Barns. She was
with two guys I didn’t recognize. I don’t think they are Scouts or even
Voyeurs, though.”
“Did she see you?”
“No, but even if she did, we never had contact before, so she
wouldn’t know who I am.”
“Good. All right.” Then there was silence on the phone.
After a couple of minutes, Theo was about to ask a question, when
Oscar added, “She probably was just scouting out the place. Did she
talk to many people there? Was she probing?”
“No, she and the guys she was with were talking to Johnny. I
think they were discussing business, if you know what I mean.”
“I hope that’s what she was there for. But if you see her again at
the Raven’s Nest, I want you to kill her.”
“K ill her? But we haven’t gone after any Voyeur Scouts before.”
He heard Oscar huff. “I’m not asking you, Theo. It’s an order. We
can’t risk her finding anything out.”
“All right. I’ll kill her if she comes back. What about the guys she
was with?”
“K ill them all. Better to be safe than sorry later.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll let you go now. But make sure you cover your tracks, and I’ll
take care of making sure we double cloak you so that no Voyeur can
see the murders.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
Oscar laughed before he hung up. “No thanks, dude. Just covering
our tracks so what you do doesn’t lead back to us.”

As he shut his phone and slipped it into his pants pocket, Theo’s
mind began to wander. He had never tried to kill a Voyeur Scout
before. These Voyeurs were trained killers, so this would not be an
easy feat. He needed a plan, a good one, if she and her entourage
frequented the Raven’s Nest again.
Odds were they would because they were obviously working out
some sort of drug deal with Johnny. Was it a cover for something
else? Probably, yeah. The most plausible reason was they were there
undercover because they had gotten a lead and wanted to check it out.
Whatever the reason, Oscar hit the nail on the mark. They needed to
be eliminated before they could find anything else out. No one, and
especially a Voyeur Scout, could find out the real reason the Rogues
used the Raven’s Nest as one of
down the line after many people manipulated and embellished the
truth. In the version he had heard about the sultry Scout, she had an
insatiable sexual appetite and her imagination for pleasure would turn
