Waring, this is a long chapter. Enjoy


(The Hill Residence)

Bobby and Berry were in Bobby's living having a very unique conversation about last night's bank robbery. Berry sat on the couch while Bobby was standing as he was retelling him about ever thing he heard at the crime scene and Berry couldn't believe how excited Bobby was about it.

"Dude, you seem way to excited about this robbery." Berry pointed out

"I know that but I have a really good reason," Bobby said before explaining his excitement, "ever since I became a werewolf you and I been protecting Arlen from the supernatural and nobody ever knew but now this guy, Vergil Min along with Mr. Gribble have convinced almost everyone that the Arlen Werewolf is a menace that needs hunted down and killed."

"Bobby, I know things look bad at the moment but if you pay attention to the polls you'll see that Ted Wasonasong's approval ratings are higher so there is no chance of Min winning the election."

"On the off-chance that he does win I think it's important that I capture these two criminals."

"What?"

"Yeah, if words gets out that the Arlen Werewolf was responsible for the capture of these robbers then Min's whole campaign will fall apart meaning that his chances of being elected mayor is drop to zero."

"Wow," Berry said, "I can understand why you want to go after these two thieves for but if you do capture them how will people know it was the Arlen Werewolf that did it?"

"I haven't figure out that part yet," Bobby admitted, "the first thing we need to find out is if they're still in town, if they are then we'll need to figure out where they'll strike next."

"Okay, lets see here, if they were monsters or something I would just look in one of my books but since their master criminals the obvious thing to do is to look on the internet for any crimes that matches their M.O, then find any place in Arlen that matches it.

"Brilliant, let's get to work."

The boys went to search the internet on Bobby's computer in his room, which during that time Seth who couldn't hold back his excitement about tonight's heist was explaining his plan to Ava who still had doubts about the gem's powers.

"You sure about this," Ava asked , "the target your going after seems pretty small."

"I know this man isn't Scrooge McDuck rich," Seth admitted, "he is however one of the most successful men in Arlen and tonight we're going to take everything from him."

"You're planning on robbing some guy's house just to prove to me that the gem we stole last night has magical powers?"

"Come on, robbing only his house would be too easy, we're also going to break into his place of business."

"Robbing two places in the same night does actually sound fun," Ava admitted, "let's hope we don't get caught."

"As along as we have this gem I promise you we'll get away clean."

Seth held up the gem to his face and watched as it sparkled in light. Ava sat in the chair watching him as he stared into the gem, she still thought that the alleged power that the gem held was bull but she's been with Seth for nearly seven years. He has always been fascinated with objects that had supposed supernatural powers and would always steal them when opportunity came up, of course these items turned out not to hold any sort of magic but that didn't stop them from stealing.

Think about it Ava," Seth said while still looking at the gem, "if this beauty does bring us good luck during the heist then nothing will stop us, then once we collect enough cash we'll leave this country and live out our lives together in a place they'll never find us."

"I'm liking that idea a lot." Ava said with a smile

(10:00 p.m.)

Bobby was able to sneak into the garage, get into his car and pull out of the driveway without waking his father up.

"Never thought Mr. Dauterive's brakes failing was a good thing." Bobby thought for the fact that working on Bill's car all day to fix the car's brakes and any other damages it sustained had made Hank extremely tired

Driving to Berry's gave Bobby time to think about what he was going to do tonight, for hopefully soon he will be capturing two criminals. It might sound selfish but Bobby wanted to do everything possible to stop all of Arlen from wanting to kill him leaving only Mr. Gribble and sadly Jade to hunt him. He soon picked up Berry and the duo made their way to what they hope was Seth and Ava's next target.

"You sure they'll strike there next?" Bobby who didn't want to make a mistake asked

"We've spent all afternoon on this," Berry pointed out, "I'm sure that the place they'll rob will be Strickland Propane."

"I'm still confused on why two master criminals would even think about robbing Strickland Propane."

"Maybe they're working their way up to a larger target."

"Could be, but I'm not going to give them the chance to rob the place where my dad works."

As they headed towards Strickland Propane another vehicle was making its way to the exact place they were heading. Inside the vehicle was Detectives Stokes and Chase who like Bobby and Berry have figured out where the criminals were going to strike next.

"Seems weird that Ryker and McKay are going after a person like this Buck Strickland, there isn't very much at this propane dealership besides propane tanks and money." Chase pointed out as Stokes drove the car

"What ever they're after we're going to make sure they don't get it." Stokes said with determination

(Strickland Propane 10:27 p.m.)

Bobby had the Cadillac parked down the road from Strickland Propane to avoid being stopped by the criminals. The young men inside the car were going over the plan one last time.

"Okay, Bobby, so the plan is that you'll get out of the car, make your way to Strickland Propane, then once close to the building you'll snoop around to see if the crooks have broken in yet, if they have you'll go in there and what exactly." Berry went over the plan

"I'll figure that out when I get in." Bobby said before exiting the car

He quickly made his way to Strickland where once there he carefully ran around towards the back for the room most likely to get robbed would be Mr. Strickland's office and the easiest way to do that is through the back window. When he reached the back he noticed right away that the window leading into the office was open causing Bobby to resort to crawling on all fours up to the window. Once he was close he started to hear voices from within. He crouched under the window to hear what the people inside were saying.

"Seth, what are you doing," a female voice asked, "we already cleaned out his safe, took every award we could find, what else are we looking for and don't tell me it's another stupid gem."

"Relax, darling, it's nothing like that," the one called Seth promised, "if there is one thing I read about the owner of this place it's that he a man who appreciates booze and if I'm right about where he keeps it…."

With that the man opened a drawer and found a metal box with a label that read Thatherton Goes Out Of Business, he placed it on the desk and smiled but the woman noticed the keyhole on the box.

"Tough luck, seems like this man keeps his booze locked up."

"Think again, Ava."

The man grabbed the bottom lid and yanked it open surprising Ava.

"How did you to that?" Ava wondered

"Its called luck."

"Luck?" Bobby thought as he listened to the man

"Doesn't prove anything, he might have just left it unlocked by mistake."

Seth reached in and lifted out a clear crystal bottle with red liquid inside.

"This will be the first thing we drink after we get out of the country." Seth informed as he gently shook the bottle

"Time for the Arlen Werewolf to ruin that plan."

Backing away from the window Bobby began this transformation into his wolf form but the growling that he did during the process alerted the two thieves inside that something was out there.

"You hear something, babe?" Ava asked worried that someone had discovered them

Seth placed down the bottle down on desk before going over to the window and looked out where he didn't see anybody.

"Ava, gather up everything we got so far and get out of here."

"What about you?"

"I'm going outside to see if anyone is here, if so then I'll distract them while you get to the car and return to the hideout and I'll join you shortly."

"What if it's a cop?"

Seth smiled as he took the gem out of this front pocket.

"Don't worry as long as I have this then no damn cop is going to stop me."

Ava stood there for a minute wondering if letting Seth go out by himself was a good idea.

"Fine," Ava said after a minute, "if you're not back at the hideout in two hours I'm leaving your ass in this cesspool of a town."

"I love it when you threaten me." Seth said before he hopped out the window

It was dark outside and the only source of light was coming from the light bulb above the back door as Seth scanned the area for any sign of a cop. Seth looked for a couple of minutes searching all around the building, near the propane pumps, and even in the dumpster. Bobby gazed down on Seth from the roof of the building in full werewolf mode watching the criminal searching for someone or something.

"You looking for me?" Bobby finally shouted getting Seth's attention

Seth turned around quickly and watched as a monstrous wolf jumped from the roof and landed a couple of feet from him then it stood up on its hind legs. Seth began to shake as his skin went pale while the wolf approached him.

"What are you?" Seth asked frightened

"I'm this town's resident werewolf." the Bobby replied

With his back against the dumpster Seth was trying to think of away to escape, that is when he remembered the gem in his pocket which was enough to removes Seth's fear of this monster.

"I heard this town had a werewolf, I assume your out looking for a snack." Seth joked with confidence in the gem's abilities

"I'm here to stop you," Bobby said, "besides I ate before I left home."

Seth smirked.

"A monster with a sense of humor I like that but I'm afraid I can't let you stop me."

"Why shouldn't I, you and your girlfriend came into my town robbed not only The First Bank of Arlen but from Buck Strickland who is an honest and decent human b… actually there are people who would want him dead, the point however is that it's wrong to steal from innocent people."

"How sweet, the big bad wolf has a soft spot for humans."

"Not all humans for your days of thievery are over."

Seth grinned as he reached into his right pocket and pulled out the gem that he kept concealed in his fist while he used his free hand to motion Bobby to come and try his best to stop him. With a growl Bobby charged at Seth who at the last second jumped out-of-the-way as Bobby went to pounce only to crash into the dumpster then causing it to flip over and spilling the disgusting contents on top of him.

"Gross." Bobby gagged before he stood up and shook the garbage off

He turned around and glared at Seth who was standing there laughing at Bobby.

"Sorry pal but I'm afraid luck is on my side." Seth pointed out

"I'll see about that." Bobby said challenging Seth's claim

Bobby fiercely howled into the night sky hoping to intimidate Seth to surrender but the criminal remained where he was however this howl got Detectives Stokes and Chase's attention as they were getting out of their car, that Stokes who like Bobby had parked down the road opposite of the Cadillac.

"That sounds pretty scary," Chase stated, "I wonder what it is?"

Stokes drew his gun from his holster as did Chase then the detectives walked down the road cautiously towards Strickland Propane. Back at the propane dealership the fight between Bobby and Seth Ryker was continuing for yet again Seth dodged Bobby's attack and watched as Bobby's right hand/paw punched through the wall and got stuck, then to make things worse for Bobby, Seth reached into his left pocket and pulled out some sand that he tossed in Bobby's face causing him to roar. When the roaring quit both of them heard footsteps approaching.

"I hate to break this "me humiliating you with luck" thing but I think the heat is coming so goodbye flea bag." Seth bragged while Bobby began rubbing the sand of his eyes

Then he turned to escaped and right as he walked by a window he saw something in the corner of his eye that scared him enough to drop the gem. Bobby who had managed to get out enough of the sand saw the gem on the ground.

"What is that thing?" he thought

Seth quickly rubbed his eyes then looked back in the window where he only saw his reflection. He then scooped up the gem from the ground then made his escape leaving Bobby there alone until two people rounded the corner with flashlights and guns aimed straight at him.

"Dear god," one of the people gasped, "is that what I think it is."

Bobby's eyes adjusted to the light and saw that it was the two detectives from crime scene this morning. The detectives couldn't believe their eyes for right in front of them was a monster.

"Don't move." Stokes commanded as he got ready to fire his weapon

Drawing his focus away from the detectives to his hand/paw that was still stuck in the wall Bobby was finally able to yank it out of the wall then turned to face the two men.

"I'm not the bad guy here." Bobby tried to explain himself

"I don't know what you are but I suggest you don't try anything."

Figuring there was no other option Bobby quickly turned and started to run away not before Detective Stokes got a shot off and hitting Bobby in his right leg.

"Damn." Bobby muttered

Bobby stumbled around the corner of the building and fell to the ground.

"Got them now." Chase shouted

The detectives went around the corner to capture the strange beast but to their surprise the monster was gone.

"Where did that thing go?" Stokes wondered

Down the road Bobby had used his wolf speed to make it back to the Cadillac where he turned back to his normal self, got in the car, laid down in the back seat, then Berry got behind the wheel then he looked in the back seat and saw Bobby's bloody leg.

"What in the name of Castiel happened to you?"

"Seth got away when the two detectives from earlier showed up and one of them shot me."

Berry put the Cadillac in drive, gripped the steering wheel, and drove off to return to Bobby's house hoping to get some help.

Back at Strickland Propane, the two detectives where searching the area for any clues of what if was that the just faced.

"If you ask me I say it was a werewolf." Chase stated his opinion

"Something tells me you're right, after all the local officers did warn us about the usual things that have happened in this town the past year," Stokes remembered, "I thought they were just messing with us since were from out-of-town."

The two continued to look around until Stokes spotted something.

"Hey, Alan, check this out."

Alan came running over to the spot where the werewolf was standing when Greg shot it. On the ground were several drops of blood.

"Give me something to collect this with," Stokes demanded, "time to see if this town's crime lab is any good."


Sorry if fight between Bobby and Seth wasn't longer but this was only the first encounter after all. Also if you had any ideas about what Seth saw in the window please leave your guesses in the review section or send me a PM. Stay tuned
