Chapter 3 The hunt

Okay, it was Wednesday and I had until Monday to get everything squared away. I have called law firms dealing with this lawyer named Timothy Pho and so far nothing. Like he didn't exist.

Well I guess we make a road trip. Whose we Charlie said. Oh me and Dembe to the county Lafayette. I'm coming with she said. Charlie I rolled my eyes you can't. Oh but I can, Dembe knows and he promised he wouldn't say a word. He's a wolf, and he senses what I am. Which is a witch I know I know. Lafayette county is a dangerous place. You will need me and Dembe. Besides I want to have fun for the time being of the diner shutting down. Fine but don't you dare tell anyone. I know I know she said. Or you will lose your license I get it. You are lucky you are my bestfriend I replied. Getting ready to leave. We are leaving now. It's 3pm we aren't going get there until late. She replied. Yes and it'd a good thing no one will know we are coming.

We walked to the SUV, where to. Lafayette county, he raised an eyebrow. It's to find this lawyer I did phone Calls and no is picking up or they say they haven't heard of him even though his information says different.

It took awhile to get there due to traffic, it's 2am we got a lot to do today so get some shut eye. As we pulled up to a hotel. Be right back ladies Dembe said. Where are you going? To scope out the property, and to get rooms. I can pay for my own room and Charlie's as well I replied. I don't know what it is about you that boss likes but he gave me strict Orders to not let you pay for your foot work that you have to do. My phone rang, it was Mr. Thomas

Hello,

Let Dembe pay for the room it's at my expense.

What do you have this car bugged.

Something like that he laughed. Be lucky last lawyer I didn't pay for anything other than her service.

He hung up.

What is wrong with this dude, I said. What, he supposedly is the mean guy bit yet paying for a room. We have to be back on Monday. The hotel is expensive stay. Dembe came back with two keys. He handed us a key. A sweet are you kidding me? Ugh I shook my head why. Mr. Thomas orders like I said before he must really like you. He smiled.

We woke up at 11pm. Where to first? Charlie asked. Harvey's law firm his first employment of his career. We decided to walk cause the town was small. We walked in greeted by a paralegal. How may I help you. Yes I was wondering if I could talk to a person who has been working since 2012. That would be Victoria let me get her for you. Have a seat over here as I go get her she smiled. About 15 minutes later a female with tanned skin dark black hair brown eyes and purple lipstick came over. Hi I am Victoria how can I help you. Is there somewhere we can talk privately. I am an attorney for a client that has relations to a lawyer that used to work here back in 2012. Umm sure right this way to my office as if she knew who I was talking about.

We stepped in an office she locked the door behind us and shut the blinds.

We don't have much time, she quickly went over to her desk pulling out a vanilla folder. Here is everything you need to know about Tim Pho. Wait how did you know I raised my eyebrow? Just call it an instinct I have. Ms. Lang she replied. How? Like I said before we don't have much time. Before he comes she interrupted. When you find Mr. Pho be wise as he isn't the same he may not remember where the flash drive is.

Now quickly go, she rushed us out shutting her office light off as she was leaving herself to escape from someone.

Miss. Lang what you are up against to get to Tim is dangerous, I hope your wolf is stronger than this beast she got into her car and sped away.

Wolf I raised an eyebrow. Charlie looked at me and asked if I had a wolf. I laughed and said I wish but I don't believe in the supernatural she must have lost her marbles. I giggled.

Okay well let's go back to the hotel and see where this Tim guy I rolled my eyes and started to walk off.

A mental hospital all the way in Georgia, great this is complicated only for a property in small claim case. Charlie if this whole supernatural is true why don't they go to war like I seen on TV. Just being hypothetical here. Cause the cabin isn't on pack land it's on the humans for a reason. Humans like yourself well would go insane and probably would kill the werewolves. Making them go exist just like polar bears. Humans like yourself are destructive. Well most of them not you though she smiled you couldn't harm a fly. So this cabin has to be dealt with by the human law that's where you come in.

I called Mr. Thomas

Hello he said.

I have to go all the way to Georgia.

You found him he replied.

Yes, he's

Stop hush don't say anything.

Okay I said.

I will get you and your friend Charlie a plane ticket have dembe beside you at all times.

But how?

It's okay really, I can trust her so I will let this one slide. And he hung up.

On the way to the airport I felt like my life is going to become complicated if I stay and be Peter's attorney. So I may turn this job down after this case. I had seen dembes face expression shift into sad like some how once again he could sense what I was thinking.

First class this is to much. At this point I owedMr. Peter the whole lump sum on what he was going to pay me if I won this case.

We were held in a private cabin away from the other passengers. I looked at Charlie and said by this point I'm working for free. Nope, Dembe said Mr. Peter will pay you. Dembe I had asked you actually think he will expect nothing after this. Maybe he said with a small laugh. Mr. Thomas may look mean and do some cruel things but there is more to him than what everyone else sees. You I sense maybe the first start of changing the man. But don't think for a second he won't start treating you poorly if you betray him.

Dembe, yes he said. Do you believe in the whole supernatural thing? Miss. Lang I am from Louisiana and that's. the state where everything hits you will have to see for yourself.

I shut my eyes to sleep the rest of the flight.

We finally landed after so many stops thankfully we didn't have to switch terminals. We drove to the main state mental institution, a gaurd approached may I help you he asked. Yes, I'm here to see Timothy Pho, I am an attorney for a client that he knows my clients mother that could help him in a case. He let us through the gate. A doctor had approached us as we entered the building.

So Mr. Pho is able to talk but I'm not sure if he will remember things but you can try.

We walked into a patted room with a red haired guy just looking through the only window he had. Why is he in a padded room? He likes to bang his head on the wall so we had no options. I will leave you guys to your business. The doctor walked out of the room closing the door.

It was quiet for a few minutes until Mr. Pho started to speak.

Does he know you are here?

Who? I had asked standing by the door.

The man that put me in here. He replied softly.

No, I don't think so.

Tim turned around, and pointed at Dembe. He's one of them you know I can see it.

I looked at Dembe and looked at Tim. What is Dembè I had asked.

A werewolf. Particularly big werewolf he's beta serves an alfa.

Charlie looked at Dembe and told him he was under a spell. A spell in which is revealing their true form.

But Mr. Pho, I need to know something.

What's that he had asked.

The client I work for I'm his attorney you knew his mother.

In whom are we speaking of he asked.

I've worked with so many people it's hard to keep track.

Peter Thomas's mother. He looked as if he was shaken when I mentioned his name. He sat down on his bed nervously. What about Mr. Thomas he said. A will that you helped his mother write up leaving a cabin to him. Yes what about it he started to scratch his head looking exhausted. He should have a copy. If he had a copy i wouldn't be here. Do you have the orginal? I do I just don't remember where it's at. He grabbed a piece of paper giving me his house address back home and his pin to turn off the security system. Go straight through the living room there's an office you are more than welcome to look in there.

Miss. Lang after this can you help me get out of here. I would like to return home. I will keep whatever I see to myself I swear i just want to go home. I smiled and said I will see what I can do. I will see you soon okay.

He shook his head and we left.

We arrived to Mr. Phos house, it was in mint condition like someone had been keeping up with the yard work. We entered the home and white sheets were thrown over the furniture. For a house that has been left sure is clean Dembe said. Swiping his finger on the shelf that held theTV. We went through the double doors only to find it empty.

But something was off my hair had risen on my neck and my gut was trying to tell me something. But this was creepy cause everything was in mint condition and kept up with. So I had ignored it and went on about the empty room. Maybe finding a hidden compartment. What are you doing Charlie asked as I started to feel the walls. There has to be a hidden room or a compartment. I didn't go hunting down the lawyer to find an empty room.

This has become a mess I thought. My life as a lawyer wasn't suppose to be this confusing nor this hard. This small claim case was going to be the death of me.

****Charlie****

Kentana may not know what she is. I sense the first time we met. Her orb is so much more stranger than an alphas a lykon and even a typical wolf. It's as strong as a witch doing black magic.

I kept it a secret cause have been around a few that had no idea what they are because they were born by rogues in the human city and they were put up for adoption. But some agencies know about our wold so the rogues would go there because they can see a doctor about, suppressing their wolf. So what would happen is when they are 10 is when their wolf abilities are suppose arrive and they talk to their wolf one on one to start making their bond. So to prevent that they take the child to a doctor to say they have ADHD medication and when they are 11 they are adopted it out some make it to adoptions some stay in the adoption agencies until they are 18 when they age out. The agencies help them get a job go to college but they are to stay on their medications but the ones that don't they are killed, or we would have more rogues. And being adoptive parents they want to do best that helped their children keep them on their medications.

Once that child goes on their own, either to chose to continue the medication never knows and someone like Kentana chose to here recently to get off her medication. And it takes two years for the wolf to ware if off. She may have a late bloomer, cause she should have known before. But her wolf isn't just a typical wolf she is a hybrid.

Hybrids are more extreme so therefore, she is on
