Jack’s Ranch, infirmary:
Debbie, Silvia, and Selina were tending to the injured. Julia, Gina, Tizzy, Tizzy’s husband, Arnold, and several farm hands were either suffering from sword wounds or gunshot wounds.
Even some of the wolves were injured and being tended to. Haylee was tending to the wolves since she could get close to them without being bitten, and Rae was helping the wounded into the infirmary.
The pack healers for the werewolf pack that protected Jack’s southern perimeter. They were helping members of their pack who got hurt. Some of them still didn’t trust Jack’s family.
Christmas and Katy looked after all the kids. Arabella, Amy, and Jenny secured the property with several farmhands who weren’t too injured to help them. Cadmus, Terror, and Astara protected them as they checked the dead bodies and gathered up the weapons lying around.
Amy looks over towards Arabella. “Is this common for your family?”
“Not unless someone is stupid enough to attack us.” Jennifer had come outside to help her older sister and sisters-in-law.”
“I hope Grandpa and Aunt Cheshire are okay.” Arabella was bent over, picking up pieces of her destroyed drone that one of the attackers blew up.
“I bet they are, sis. Grandpa and Aunt Cheshire are too mean to die.” Jennifer figures it would take someone as deadly as her father and aunt to kill them.
“Well, I know we have a lot of dead people to bury or incinerate.”
“You youngsters have nothing to fear about getting rid of the bodies. We have the equipment to handle that problem.” Sava spotted Mr. Bounty's grandchildren out on the property collecting weapons and parts of the drone that had been damaged.
“That’s good to hear.” Jennifer goes back to collect the weapons.
South Pacific Island:
“How did you guys get captured and brought here?” Nick looks at the five people standing before them.
“We walked right into their trap. We entered a warehouse that we got a tip about, and they managed to split us up and took us out one at a time.
The next thing we knew, we woke up here. They started interrogating the women first, then moved on to me and Luke.” Tony winces when
Cheshire applies some lotion to the whip marks on his back. He saw her make the lotion from plants she gathered from the jungle.
Luke could feel his body slowly recovering from the poison that had coated the knives the pricks had stabbed him with. He knew he wouldn’t be useful for at least a day or so. Not until all the poison that was in his system was expelled.
Once Elizabeth and Sam were bandaged and clothes, they checked on Tammy. Their healing ability was dealing with the injuries they sustained.
“She’s going to be okay. She’ll be a little tender to the touch but pull through.” Nick used what medical knowledge he had to tend to the girl.
“Thank you.” Sam knew that Tammy was going to have nightmares about this situation.
“You guys never said who you are.” Elizabeth looks at Jack since he stood nearby.
“They don’t need to, Elizabeth. The guy standing near you is Jack Bounty. The guy helping Tammy is Nick Law, and the woman with them is
Cheshire Patel. These are the three people Joseph Dark warned us about.” Luke knew who the three were.
“Joseph Dark? That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.” Nick looks over towards Luke.
“You know him, Nick?” Cheshire looks towards Nick.
“Yeah, rumor is that he is in charge of a new black op’s department using superhuman beings.” Nick saw how fast the guy with tattoos was healing.
Tony and Elizabeth were surprised that Nick Law knew that information, which no one outside the agency was supposed to know.
“I’m surprised they would put someone as old as him in charge of a department. He has to be in his late seventies.” Jack knew the man was as old as he was.
“Well, if he is. He doesn’t show it.” Sam thought Mr. Dark was younger than what they were saying.
“So, what are we going to do now?” Elizabeth looks at their saviors.
“Well, I know what the three of us will be doing. You five don’t look up to be fighting anyone yet. My people are on their way here. Why don’t you guys wait for my people to arrive while we go to take care of what we need to do?”
“And what would that be, Mr. Bounty?” Tony looks towards Jack for an answer.
“To kill the woman responsible for all of us being here. It’s time she finally answers for the crimes she has committed.” A serious look appears on Jack’s face.
“We heard she can’t be killed.” Elizabeth was recalling everything their briefing had given them about Sataria.
“Normally, she can’t be killed. However, we know of a way to kill her for good.” Cheshire knew they could only do it with Nick and Jack using their unique abilities.
“And how is that?” Luke looks at Cheshire.
“Death comes for everyone. No matter who you are.” The way Jack spoke those words was sending chills down everyone’s skin.
“Don’t worry about not being protected.” Cheshire looks at Shere Khan and Chaos when she says those words.
“You’re leaving those two to protect us?” Tony looks at the massive wolf with uncertainty in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, they will protect you.” Cheshire knew Jack was thinking the same thing.
Jack looks at Chaos “Fuirich agus dìon na daoine sin.”
Tony, Luke, Sam, and Elizabeth look at Jack and try to understand what he just said to the huge wolf. Tammy was still out leaning against Chaos.
“What did you just say to him?” Luke wanted to know.
“To stay and protect you guys.” Jack looks towards Cheshire.
“Liú zài hùndùn shēnbiān bìng bǎohù zhèxiē rén.” Cheshire rubs Shere Khan’s fur afterwards.
“Let me guess; you told him the same thing?” Tony looks towards Cheshire.
“Something like that.” A smile appears on Cheshire’s face.
Sam and Elizabeth knew Cheshire spoke to the big cat in Chinese. They looked towards Nick to see what language he would use to talk to his huge owl.
“Oh, he’s not staying. He’s not like those two.” As Nick points towards Chaos and Shere Khan.
Nick knew Samson would only protect him. He wasn’t trained to protect anyone else.
“Here, it's set on the frequency my people are using. They will contact you when they are within range.” Jack hands Sam the satellite phone since it seems she is in charge of the group.
“Thanks.” Sam accepts the phone.
“Now, let’s go and kill Sataria.” Jack was ready to put an end to Sataria.
