Chapter 5

In a thick forest not so far from Gotham, five different colored wolves raced through the bare trees as if their legs were made of steel. The one leading them was obviously the alpha male, all the wolves following his exact path giving that little fact away. But if you looked carefully, you could tell how the wolves were twitching with annoyance. But for what reason? Maybe one of them wouldn't shut up? No, that couldn't be it. They seemed to . . . serious for that to be what was annoying them.

So it had to be a very important matter . . .

But what? Maybe their alpha male, the midnight black wolf, was forcing them to do something they thought was completely stupid? Maybe . . . Let's take inside their little discussion to find out.

_The Pack_

Michael, why the heck are we going to Gotham?

Because, Raphael, that's where Richard is.

Wait, I thought we gave up on finding him.

No, Tristan, we figured he'd show his ugly face sooner or later.

Oh yeah . . . Thanks for reminding me, Aden.

No prob, bro.

Still, Michael, are you sure we should? Those crazy Hunters are probably on their way too-

Exactly.

. . . Brother, have you finally lost mind?

No, West. I just figured that we could kill two birds with one stone.

Oh, I see where you're coming from. But if I remember correctly, Richard's got a thing for escaping dangerous situations. We won't be the ones with the advantage, Michael; HE WILL.

Ah but Raph, you forget that the Hunters want him dead too.

Dramatic silence filled the wolves' minds as they gracefully wove in between the thick trees that surrounded them for miles. The alpha smirked as he heard nothing but silence from his pack. He knew his plan would surprise them. After all, no alpha in their werewolf history had ever made a temporal allegiance with the ever-bothersome Hunters.

But Michael thought it was necessary if they wanted to punish Richard for his past crime. He had, after all, tried to kill them when they had merely defended themselves. Nevertheless, that was in the past and would be soon forgotten once Richard paid the price for what he did.

And Michael thought that his death would fit the bill quite nicely.
