A/N: You will need to read my first fanfic Reclamation if you haven't already. This is a sequel to that story.

Chapter 3

Chris and Jack walk into the study inside the house. He motions for Jack to have a seat and sits in his chair. "Ok, what else can you tell me?"

Jack sighs deeply. "Well, I can tell you these guys are smart. They attack during the early morning hours when the vampires are getting ready to hide for the day. They apparently get good intelligence before each strike. They use a homemade, yet sophisticated, firebomb."

Chris holds up his hand stopping Jack. "What do you mean good intelligence?"

"They scope out the places that they are staying." Jack says matter-of-factly.

"But most nomads won't stay in a city that long."

"I have speculated that maybe they track them into an area as they enter. They watch them as they pick a place out before they go feed."

"Humans tracking vampires?" Chris thinks a moment. "It's not unheard of, although very difficult. They must have been doing this a long time. Why are we just now hearing of this?"

Jack shrugs. "Not sure, I do have a theory though."

Chris leans back in his chair. "Enlighten me."

Jack sits quiet a moment and speaks. "I, like you, think this has been going on a while. I just believe that the attacks were spread out more to avoid suspicion. But something has happened that has caused them to speed up their efforts. Honestly, I think it coincides with your return."

Chris looks puzzled. "My return?"

Jack shrugs. "Yeah, that or they have just suddenly gotten sloppy." Jack shakes his head. "But I don't think guys this coordinated are sloppy."

Chris looks down at the floor and mumbles, "My return?"

Jack holds up his hand. "It's just a theory. Doesn't mean it's true."

Chris puts his hand on his forehead and moves it down slowly. "I shouldn't have gotten involved again."

"Jack shakes his head. "No it was a good thing you did."

"Why?"

"To protect the Cullens." Jack stumbles over his next sentence. "And we had intelligence that Aro was planning something."

Chris looked surprised. "Planning what?"

"We're still not sure."

Chris looked skeptical. "Really?"

Jack looks at the floor. "Yes really. We need to get back to the matter at hand."

"Yes, the terrorist vampire killers." The words flowed from Chris's mouth with distain. "These are humans we are talking about right?"

Jack looks up puzzled. "Yeah we assume they are. What else would they be?"

"Well, we could be dealing with shapeshifters."

"Like your friends?"

"Yes, there are more of them you know. Or it could be actual werewolves, although that is highly improbable."

Jack leans back in his chair. "Why is that improbable?"

Chris smiled. "Werewolves don't have self control in their wolf form. If they were accompanied by humans they would've killed them too."

"Well, I've never met a werewolf."

"You have lost nothing, they are quite unpleasant. Chris thinks a moment. "We also have to explore the possibility that they are vampires as well."

Jack looks at him strangely. "Vampires? Why would vampires kill their own kind like this?"

"It's not unheard of. I myself went on a quest to exterminate our race many years ago."

" But again I ask why?"

Chris shrugs. "It could be any number of reasons."

Zareb and Leah walk into the study. "We've made arrangements for the council to arrive in the morning." Zareb says. "Although they are not all happy about it."

Chris nods. "Sam?"

Leah snickers. "Yeah he didn't like the idea of leaving La Push for a confab, but he wasn't the only one."

Chris smiles. "Ah Vikenti didn't want to come either."

"We was quite upset about the idea." Zareb says.

Chris shakes his head. "Well I don't care. I think this warrants the councils full attention and they won't believe it unless they can see it for themselves."

Jack coughs slightly. "There are certain details that will need to be kept from them of course."

Chris glares at Jack. "Oh don't worry, I won't divulge the details except to Marcus and Carlisle."

Jack looks shocked. "Why them?"

"They are my high councilors. There is little that I know that they do not." Jack begins to speak again and Chris cuts him off. "This isn't open for discussion!" Jack pouts as Chris turns to Zareb and Leah. "Now let us prepare for our guests."
