As soon as she stepped out of the truck, she saw Shady. He was outside waiting on her, the rest were already inside taking flanking postions in case it got nasty. Nothing else was said as they made thier way into the warehouse. A few agents were stationed outside, Myers included, to alert them when thier company arrived. As Shady led her around and introduced her to the ones stationed inside, she recognized them all from her childhood. The feeling of dread that she couldn't shake the whole way up there, was immediatly gone. As they talked with Shady's friends, each one of them reminded her of something funny or embarassing she had done as a child. The hour flew by too quickly in her opinion and it wasn't long before Myers alerted them to an approaching vehicle.
The man that walked in, flanked by 6 agents, felt vaguely familiar to Vixey. "I'm Director Davis. Your brother has not been harmed," he finally said.
"You'd better hope not," she said coldly, "you wouldn't like to see what heppens when people lie to me. Where is he?"
Davis snapped his fingers and one of the agents ran outside. a few minutes later, he came back with a large black wolf like creature. It wasn't hard to spot the resemblance between him and Vixey. "Tyran!" At the sound of his name, he looked up at Vixey. "Sister?" As they embraced, he whispered in her ear, "It's a trap." " I expected no less," she whispered back.
As the two headed back over to stand by Abe an HB, Vixey let Abe know what Tyran had said. Abe in turn, gave the signal to the others to be ready. "I would hope, Director, in the future that you would be smarter then to screw with my family." "I said you could have your brother, I didn't say you could leave with him," Davis said cruely as the doors slammed shut.
Abe could feel the anger eminating from the team, mostly from HB and Vixey. Everything seemed to happen all at once Shady's reinforcements flooded through the windows and it distracted Davis and his men long enough for Vixey to get her arm around his neck in a crushing grip. Her claws, normally a little longer and sharper then human fingernails had lenghtened into razor sharp talons. "That was NOT smart," she growled into Davis' ear. "Tell your men to back off before I give you a new smile." To emphsize her threat, she dug her claws into his neck just enough to hurt but not enough to pierce the skin. "Stand down," Davis cried. Vixey could smell the fear eminating from him. "Get Tyran out of here," Vixey said to Myers. When he started to protested, Hb grabbed him. "You heard the lady boyscout, get moving. We got it covered here." Myers wasted no time in leading Tyran outside to one of the waiting cars. As Vixey heard them drive off, she mentally sighed before turning back to the task at hand. "Now, I want to know why you thought you could study me and my family without our permission and why you were hiding my brother." "I'm not telling you anything," Davis spat as he tried to wiggle out of her grasp. "Keep that up and I'll have to tie you up," she said coldly as she tightened her grip. "You're lucky we need you freaks, otherwise you would be disposed of," Davis growled. All at once, a shot rang out. Vixey felt a slight burning sensation on her back and realized someone had tried to shoot her. Abe watched the blood ooze down Vixey's back as her eyes suddenly went white. From out of the shadows an agent came tumbling out, upside down; limbs flailing. More soon followed on their own accord, guns trained on her. He floated until he was in front of Vixey. She reached out and yanked the gun from his trembling hands and crushed it into a pile of metal. "On who's orders did you fire? And be quick about it." The man pointed at Davis. All at once the room was filled with furry bodies that swarmed the opposing agents. When the room cleared, they could see Shady and his friends had disarmed the agents and were detaining them. "Thanks Shady. OK Davis, now what? I think all the cards have been dealt and you're all out of Aces. So what do you say we call this a draw?" Davis' face fell. "Fine," he muttered, "but don't expect us to disapear. We will meet again soon." "I look forward to it, and maybe next time we can talk things out instead of fighting." Reluctantly she released him and motioned for the others to stand down. The agents rushed out into the night, Davis being last. "Perhaps next time we can meet under pleasent terms," he finally said. Vixey said nothing as he climbed into his car and drove away. It wasn't until they were back in the truck did she allow herself to feel the pain. Abe extracted the bullet and cleaned the wound as best he could. "You're not healing as quickly as you normally do, should I be worried?" Vixey sighed and leaned into his gentle touch. "No, I'm fine. Being pregnant slows down the healing factor for minor stuff. Did I even bleed that much?" Abe had cut off her shirt so he could get to her wound better and now he held up part of it. For a human, it was a lot of blood but for her kind it wasn't much. When she told him this, he looked skeptical but said nothing. When they got back to HQ, she rushed to the infirmiry to check on her brother.
As she walked in, she could see that he was hooked up to various Ivs, mostly for malnutrition and antibiotics. He didn't look very happy but perked up when she walked in. "I have already seen Rhaze. He briefly filled me in about Kain. He seems to think we have another sibling, a sister somewhere." Vixey pulled up a chair next to him and took his hand. "I don't know about a sister, Kain's book said there five of us. It doesn't specify gender. So there's two more to find. I think we will find the next one in Scotland. I keep having dreams about Lake Loch Ness. The name Zara also keeps popping up. I don't know if thats a sister or something else." It was then that Abe chose to enter. "I see you are awake. How are you feeling?" "Much better now that I am back with my family," Tyran smiled. "When I am back on my feet, I will be joining the search for our family as well as the battle to protect the ones not yet born." Abe looked worried at this. "Do you really think they will try to take them?" "Davis is not a human that gives up easily. What he wants with your children, I do not know. But I do know he will not give up easily." "The brief time I had the unfortunate misforture to come in contact with him, I sensed two thoughts," Vixey said as she shuddered. "He was thinking about power and immortality. Neither one he would get from us." It was that moment that Agent Krauss entered. "Ah I thought I would find you here. I have news. Agent Davis is no longer an agent, at least not with us. Manning wants to see all of us in the conference room, Including you Tyran." As Vixey opened her mouth probably Abe thought, to protest, Tyran stopped her. "The IVs are on wheels, let's go."
