Fates Hands

Chapter 84

Chapter 19–Book 2

Agent David got the call from his partners that the woman Kathy Fosters had escaped and there was

no trace of her anywhere. They are continuing to look but they didn’t have any realistic hopes. Those

types of people can disappear quickly.

He wasn’t too upset that they lost that witness but they now had Nova and Maggi is turning into not

only a valuable source of information but David has kinda taken a liking to her, it was against the rules

but you only live once.2

He was still not happy with the way things are going, yes, they have a lot of witnesses, what they don’t

have a lot of is evidence. Agent David was thinking about a few things that were said by his daughter.

Agent David

decided it was time to go and check out James Springer’s shed.

He is going to need a search warrant as an FBI Agent, but if say perhaps a friend happens upon the

shed and decides to see what is inside then decides that it was just too horrible and went to tell his FBI

Buddy about it. Well, who’s to say what happens next.

Agent David was more of a by-the book kinda guy, however as he got older and closer to moving on

from the FBI he found himself getting sick of the bureaucrats that have to file a thousand pages to get a

pencil from the supply closet.

Always wanting to put in their opinion, when they have no clue about what they are talking about.

With that, he went looking for Jack.

Jack was outside on the greeting steps waiting with Nova for their guests to arrive. He was excited to

show her off and give her another chance to make more friends. He hoped that she would hit it off with

Adira. He chuckled to himself, there wasn’t a doubt that they won’t hit it off.

Everyone in the clan is in love with their new, Luna. Luna’s are a wolf thing but since the names for the

female leaders of WereBears are called Sow’s, the Clan decided when it was formed to call their

highest rank lady a luna too.

Jack couldn’t think of any female that would like to be called a Sow, even if it was supposed to be a

term of respect. Frankly, he wasn’t too happy with his title of Boar, so the clan changed that to Alpha as

well.

At least until they could come up with more flattering terms. He was toying with the Ursa direction but

had not come up with anything solid. Perhaps he should consult Nova on it.

Werebears are more of solitary creatures, they don’t form big Clans. This Clan was the first of its kind.

They started small but now they are almost 1000 strong in just a short amount of time. This is

something that should become more of the norm with Werebears.

As he was coming out of his thoughts three SUVs pulled up in front of him. The first one out was

Duncan he was all smiling. He went around the car to open the other door, helping his mate Adira out

of the car. She was radiant as always.

She was all smiles too as she gave Jack a big hug. She then went over to

Nova and gave her a big hug as well. Nova was a bit surprised but she started smiling.

“You must be Jack’s mate Nova, you probably have so many questions, I will answer all I can. I am

Wolf though not Bear but a shifter is a shifter. I must show you all the new pictures of our pup, Alex, he

is a little handful.”

Others were waiting to say hello as well, Archer looking like the stoic god as always, came over and

shook Jack’s hand. He smiled when he greeted Nova.

“Whoa, careful there Archer don’t want your face to crack.”

Duncan looked at Jack and then at Archer. He started to laugh.

“Well if you must know, I have been ‘informed by your sister, Duncan that

I have to loosen up more. Make myself more approachable. She has

even taken the liberty of going through my wardrobe to make it more modern.”

They all started laughing, Duncans sister Marnie is a tell you like it is kinda girl. Never takes no for an

answer either. Duncan was glad he wasn’t on that side of Marnie anymore.

After everyone was greeted, Jack motioned for them to come inside and get comfortable. Handing out

refreshments and snacks to everyone.

Duncan started right off into the subject.

“Ok, tell us Jack why have you asked us to come here? Don’t tell me it was to just visit. We know you

better than that.”

“I, as you all know have found my soulmate. Her father is a Special Agent for the FBI. We just found

that out yesterday, Nova’s full name is November Jane Fosters. Her mother Kathy is a drunk and from

what I know so far she neglected Nova.”

“Her stepfather, I am unsure if that is legal or not. Is from what I have learned a Serial Killer and a

hitman for the local sheriff. He has also I think has a claim on Nova, though it is just in his head. I think

he means to get her back.”

“His name is James Springer and he is a black Werebear. I think his bear is also crazy it would make

sense. No normal bear would allow their human counterpart to do such evil things.”

“He is going to have to be put down, the problem is he is part of a criminal investigation involving

several

missing people. He can’t just up and disappear. The Sheriff is going to be brought to justice too, since

he is human it will be easier with him.”

“I have asked you all here because I would like your help, I don’t usually ask for help but our Clan is at

a delicate stage right now. I would like very much if you were able to gather some much-needed

evidence for the FBI.”

Everyone looked at each other than at Jack.

“Of course you have our help. Do you have any ideas where we could start looking?”

It was at that moment that his second came up to him to tell him he had a visitor. It was Agent David.

Jack told Sam to let him wait outside. He couldn’t be a part of this

conversation, because he could be questioned in court, if it came out that he had prior knowledge of

this conversation and its intent, then the whole case could be tossed out of court.

“Why don’t you go and introduce Adira officially to my Luna, let them get some bonding going on. Then

I will go see what my friend wants and we will go from there.”

With that everyone left leaving Jack and Sam alone in the room.

“Jack you know that the whole clan will get behind you in this, they don’t want anything to happen to

Nova. They find the actions of this black bear disgusting, they all agree that killing him is the only

answer, I had to talk several of them out of going out and hunting him down.” 2

“I know but we have to be careful as

well, we can’t go and have what we are plastered all over the news. Tell everyone to be ready but no

going out on their own.”

Sheriff Avery had drugs to deliver today and money to collect. Sometimes it’s more like a trade, they

have sex with him, and he gives them what they need.

These days were the ones that he loved the most, not today though he was too busy always looking

over his shoulder. He didn’t do any sex trade, it could come back to bite him in the ass. Everything he

did he made sure it was away from witnesses and cameras.

After he was done with that, he went to his makeshift office and jail. Checking on the missing person

cases looking to see if there was any clue as to how far the FBI was getting or he hoped at least they

were going in the wrong direction.

Nothing, there wasn’t a single thing. That was a good sign he thought. After he had some lunch he

went off to visit James. It is time they get going on getting rid of evidence and making a few more

people disappear.

Oh, he was going to have to tell James about Kathy too. Perhaps he should bring a bottle of something

to celebrate. He was going to have to talk to James about his little shed. It is going to have to be

cleaned out and the shed burned.

As for the body pile in the ravine, he was pretty sure they wouldn’t have to do anything with it. You

would have to know where it was. No one would just stumble onto it. Unless you fell

off a cliff.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Once everything was taken care of he was going to leave in the night and not look back. If there was

anything left for them to find then James can deal with it.

Still, there is the problem with Nova, James is not going to be too cooperative if he doesn’t get his

prize. He was still working that out, the problem is he doesn’t exactly know where Nova is. He suspects

that James does, though James is not being too open about it.

It would be easier if she would have been underage, He could just walk up to wherever she was

staying and demand that she be returned home.

He wondered what James’s solution was for this, how does that mad piece of crap plans on getting

Nova back.
