Valley Regional Airport, Hayden, CO:
Two black SUV’s were parked near a private hangar. In one SUV’s sat Carla and Bear. They were watching the landing strip and waiting for the representatives of the Hunter Organization to land. Both were wearing matching three-piece black suits.

Carla glances over towards Bear “so, how do you know, Mr. Bounty?”

A sly smile appears on his weathered face “I was hired to kill him, and I almost succeed, too.”

“You were hired to kill him, and he let you live?” Carla was stunned to hear that.

“Yeah, sounds strange doesn’t it.” Bear had a smirk on his face as he looks at Carla.

“You’re pulling my leg, aren’t you?” Carla couldn’t see Mr. Bounty doing something like that.

“Nope! I had him in my sights and was about to pull the trigger. When the people who hired me, double-crossed me. They tried dropping a building on the top of us. I was pinned under some rubble and he could have left me to die, but he didn’t.”

“So, you two became friends afterward?”

“Not exactly. We kept running into each other and over time we became friends. There were times I needed his help on certain cases and vice versa.”

“Ah! Do you regret going after him, now?” Carla was watching Bear.

“I think it was my destiny for me to go after him. Because, if I never took the contract and met him. I wouldn’t be sitting here now. He made a difference in how I handle contracts.”

“I know that feeling.” That was how she finally woke-up and changed her mind about the Hunter Organization.

Second Suv:
“So, tell me about your daughter, Tizzy.” Julia looks at her favorite cousin.

A smile appears on Tizzy’s face “she’s a unique girl, Julia. I never thought I would become a young mother like you and Gina.”

“Trust me, I never thought I would be a mother to three kids. Haylee had my heart after her sister was murdered and then Chayton and Catori wormed their way into my heart. Are you and Ikaika planning on adopting more children?” Julia looks at her cousin.

“I know Ikaika’s mother wants us to have a lot of children. She’s already spoiling Lien.” Tizzy was happy that her mother-in-law accepted Lien into the family.

“You avoided my question, cousin.” Julia knew Tizzy could change the subject instantly.

“Maybe in a few more years. I know what it is like to be raised as an only child.” Tizzy always wanted a sister or brother when she was
younger.

“There’s the plane we have been waiting on.” Julia spotted a plane heading towards them.

Carla and Bear’s SUV:
“Heads up, Tizzy and Julia. Our guests have arrived.” Bear radio’s the second SUV.

He gets out of the SUV on the driver's side and walks towards the front of it. The suit he was wearing covered his concealed handguns. His dark sunglasses concealed his predator's eyes.

Carla gets out on the passenger side and walks up to the front of the SUV and stands next to Bear. She dyed her dark hair last night, so there were purple highlights in her hair. Her custom suit covered her body and hid her Bo staff. She had a .50 caliber desert eagle hidden.

She didn’t like using guns; however, it didn’t mean she didn’t know how to use one. Her eyes were covered by the same style of sunglasses that Bear was wearing. She couldn’t wait to see who they sent along with Mr. Hunger.

A black plane with a red crescent moon and old-style cross painted on it comes to a stop. A ladder truck backs up to the plane and the door opens.

“The circus is in town people.” Carla watches as four men dressed in black body armor descend the steps. Each of them had the same style of
insignia on their armor as was on the plane.

“Who are they, Carla?” Julia was curious.

“They are the elite guards, Julia. They are normally sent to protect high ranking members of the Hunter organization. Did your father permit them to come along?” Carla wonders if Mr. Bounty knew.

“No, but he knows now that they are here. He said to go ahead and let them come to the ranch.” Julia was keeping in touch with her father and Cheshire through an encrypted channel.

“I hope he knows what he is doing.” Carla knew how good the elite guard was and how they used a special juice to enhance their fighting ability.

“Oh, I wouldn’t worry about dad or Aunt Cheshire.” Tizzy knew her mother could kill with five strikes to a person’s body.

Another man appears behind Mr. Hunger, as he moves down the stairs. He looked to be about the same age and build as Mr. Hunger. He glances towards them and walks down behind Mr. Hunger.

Another figure appears at the entrance to the plane. He was much older and shorter than the second man. He looked to have scars on his face.

“Carla, do you recognize those two?” Julia was curious.

“I don’t know the first one, but the shorter guy is Carlos Klinsky. He is the Hunter’s field director. He isn’t a nice person and enjoys having sex with children.” Carla saw what he did to a twelve-year-old Mexican girl. He beat her so badly, that she almost died.

Another man with silver hair appears and was taller than Mr. Hunger and was very muscular. He looked like he could pick their SUV’s up and toss them around.

“Who’s that Carla?” Bear noticed the man. He could see that the man moved with the stride of a predator.

“I don’t know him.” She was watching him, and he looked like he could take all of them on.

Mr. Hunger walks up to Julia and Tizzy. He recognized them from the files he had on them. He knew both were police officers and the oldest
daughters of Mr. Bounty and Mrs. Patel.

“I take it, that you four are our rides to the ranch?” Hunger was directing his gaze directly at their eyes.

He had been surprised that Julia Bounty looked like the actress Charisma Carpenter. Her background wasn’t as detailed as her cousins.

“We were only expecting you and the other three that came with you. We had no idea that you would bring bodyguards.” Julia looks towards them.

“As important as this meeting is, it is standard practice for these men to have protections.” Hunger wanted to see what they were going to do.

A smile appears on Julia’s face “don’t trust us?”

“It’s not that Mrs. Bounty, we do have other enemies that might try something. Also, to be honest, you guys might not be up to the task of protecting us.”

“You might be surprised, what we are capable of, Mr. Hunger. Carla search them.”

“With pleasure, Julia.” Carla starts walking over to the men in armor.

Bear watches them. He notices the second guy that had been Mr. Hunger had glanced at Carla. He just smirks as he continues to observe them.

Carla approaches the elite guard members “you know the routine boys.”

One of them looks at her. He knew that voice and his hand went to his sword. He was ready to kill her and collect the reward.

Carla noticed the man moving his hand towards his sword “I wouldn’t do that. Because I would hate to see you lose your head.”
Carla glances towards Bear who had his gun pulled and pointed at the guy.

“That pea shooter can’t damage this armor and you know it.” Ross wanted to kill Carla.

“I wouldn’t bet on it. Now, be a good dog and do what you are told to do.” Carla liked egging these guys on.

Ross moves his hand away from his gun. He so hated Carla and couldn’t wait until he has a chance to kill her. He hopes the plan they came up with, will work against these people.

Carla finishes searching them and walks back towards Julia.

“They are clean, but some of them need to learn self-control.” Carla wanted them to try something.

“Alright. Here’s how things are going to work. Two of your people with ride with Carla and Bear and the others will ride with me and my cousin. Your guards can split themselves up between the groups.” Julia would rather leave them here at the airport.

Hunger looks at Carlos “you’re with me. Ted, Larson you two ride in the second SUV.”

The tall guy just nods his head. He walks with the second guy that had been behind Hunger over to Carla and Bear’s SUV. He motions for two of the guards to follow him.

Once everyone is loaded into the SUVs. They start heading towards the ranch.

A lone figure at the airport watches as the two SUV’s drive off. The figure pulls out a cellphone and makes a call.

“He’s on the way, Amy.” Jose watches as the two SUV’s drive away from the airport.

“Thanks, Jose. We’ll wait until you arrive, before doing anything.” Amy wanted to have all her members with her.

The past few nights, she has scouted the ranch. It was difficult to move around the area without being detected by the huge ass wolves that had been brought in. They were better than any Werewolf or Werecat she has ever encountered.

She had to admit that Mr. Bounty and his team were better than any clan of supernatural creatures she encounters. She figures if they were ever turned into supernatural creatures, they would be very dangerous.

She finally found the person responsible for the murder of the Glass Grove clan. He was here and heading towards the ranch, that the Bounty family-owned. She has two options available to her and she’s hoping that Mr. Bounty will be reasonable and let her take the person.

If not, she’ll have to go with her backup plan and that was something she didn’t want to do. There were some nice people down on the ranch and she didn’t want to see the two children down there hurt.
