Rose finds Tessa among the many Bounty’s gathered. She looked around for Jack but spotted him busy talking with several family members.

“Is there anything I can do for you, soldier?” Angus Bounty had spotted one of the security personnel that the family had hired to protect them.

Rose turns around and spots a tall, red hair man wearing a tailored suit standing near her. She didn’t know who the person was, but he must be
related to the Bounty family.

“Yeah, we caught an intruder running from Tessa’s airship. He was near the parked cars.” Rose had no idea who this fellow was.

“And you need Jack to apply pressure to him?” An evil smile appears on Angus’s face.

“Jack or an elder.”

“Uncle Angus, I see Rose found you.” Tessa saw Rose talking to her Uncle Angus.

“Yeah, why don’t we go and have a little talk with this intruder.” Angus cracks his knuckles.

Rose looks at Angus and Tessa and figures this Angus person would do. Rose leads the two Bountys over to the building she had the person locked up in.

“Be careful opening the door.” Rose opens the door.

Inside The Empty Building:
Kevin saw the door open, and just as it was slightly opened, he rushed it. No sooner than he gets out the door, he is lying on his back from running into a huge arm. He looks up and spots a huge red hair guy wearing a custom suit. The person was smiling down at him.

“Nice try, fellow, but I have a few questions for you.” Angus looks at the young man.

Tessa looks at the young man. “YOU! You sabotaged my airship!”

Tessa couldn’t believe the person she knew as Markus had sabotaged her airship. She recruited him directly from college.

“Why? Markus?” Tessa was ready to beat the living daylights out of him.

Kevin looks up at Tessa and smile. He spits at her.

“Bad move, jackass.” Angus lifts the young man up off the ground like he weighs nothing.

Tessa kicked him right in his groin area as hard as she could. She wanted to rip his heart out for what he did to her airship. She put a lot of time and effort into that airship.

“Now, let’s see how long you’ll last.” Angus carries the young man back into the building and shuts the door behind him.

Tessa bangs on the door “let me in there. I want a piece of him.”

“I don’t think your uncle will allow you, Tessa.” Rose knew when it came to interrogations. The Bounty men could be ruthless.

“I think you’re right.” Tessa knew how brutal her uncle Angus could be.

He was a bare-knuckle fist fighter and knew how to get information from people. Rose and Tessa could hear the guy inside begging for Angus to stop and several large breaking sounds as the prisoner screamed out in pain.

After thirty minutes, Angus walks out, rubbing the blood from his hands with a piece of torn cloth from the person. Angus looks at Tessa “he wasn’t whom you thought he was, kid. He tied up and left the real Markus back at his place.” Angus shows Tessa a flesh mask.

“That son-of-bitch.” Tessa pulled her cell phone out and call the police where Markus lived and informed them about his situation.

“So, why did that person sabotage my newest airship?” Tessa wanted to know why he did it.

“Your competitor paid him to. It seems the person you were building this airship for commissioned both of you to build an airship. Whoever
completed the airship first, he would buy.”

“Let me guess. My competitor isn’t even close to being ready?” Tessa knew her team worked around the clock designing and building the airship.

“They aren’t even close to being ready. You might want to tell your chief engineer to check the helium bladders. He planted an explosive device there.”

“On it.” Tessa starts running towards her airship.

“What do you want to do with the intruder, Mr. Bounty?” Rose asks Angus for an answer.

“Call the constable and charge him with trespassing, sabotage, and whatever else you can think of.”

“Will do, Mr. Bounty.”

“Call me Angus, Rose.” Angus smiles at Rose.

“Okay, Angus,” Rose calls the authorities to come and this piece of shit. He was lucky he was still breathing.

Angus spots the wolf that guarded Cara looking over towards them. A smirk appears on Angus’s face as he looks at it.

“Everything is fine. Now go and patrol the grounds.”

Lady turns and leaves Angus and Rose. She kept her distance from people because she wasn’t used to being around so many people. She walks around the property, watching and listening to everyone.

Haylee made a plate for Lady and went looking for her. She finds her patrolling the other walls of the castle. She walks over to Lady and calls to her.

Lady hears her name called by a young girl. She could smell food coming from her. She walks over to the young girl and spots a plate in her hands.

Haylee smiles at Lady “that’s a good girl. I shouldn’t be doing this, but you have been a good girl.”

Haylee sets the plate she fixed for Lady on the ground and pulls out a folding water bowl. She figures the poor wolf might be hungry and thirsty. She backs up a few feet to let Lady know she meant no harm.

Lady walks over to the food and tentatively sniffs it. She didn’t smell anything harmful to her. She takes a small bite from a rib that is on the plate.

“See, I wouldn’t harm you.” Haylee sits down on the grass and watches as Lady eats the food.

Terry had spotted Haylee carrying a plate in her hands and followed her. He knew of Jack’s grandchildren; Haylee was good with animals. He
watches as she coaches the wolf that protected Mrs. Bounty to walk over to the plate of food.

Jack has a rule about feeding the wolves human food unless they are enemies and deserve it. He has seen Cadmus and Sphinx tear into a criminal. He watches a little longer before moving on. He knew Haylee could take care of herself.

Sheamus spots his nephew Angus coming back towards the gathering. He returns his granddaughter to Lisa and excuses himself as he intercepts Angus.

“Angus, what’s going on?” Sheamus knew that whatever it had been, it should have been reported to one of the elders.

“Nothing I could handle, Uncle.” Angus grabs a cold beer and takes a swig from it.

Sheamus looks at Angus’s hands and notices they are a little bloody. He looks back at his nephew.

“Who did you have to explain things to?” Sheamus watches Angus’s eyes.

“An intruder that caused all the problems on Tessa’s airship. The guard, known as Rose, caught him trying to escape and reported him to me since Jack was busy.”

“She could have come to any of us.” Sheamus knew it wasn’t just Jack’s responsibility to protect everyone.

“I know, but I handled it. Tessa has alerted the cops about one of her people being in danger, and the authorities are on their way here to remove the intruder.”

“All right, good job. Go and put some ice on your fist.”

“Yes, sir.” Angus turns and walks away from Sheamus.

Sheamus watches as his nephew walks off. He shakes his head and grabs another ale from the barrel.
