Lilly laid Emily gently on the ground from Erica's back after escaping from the monsters. Lilly tried her best to keep herself calm during the incident, but she couldn't. She just saw her dad almost getting killed by them. That howl must be a distraction. A bait to lure them in. She had never heard a monster mimicking a wolf's howl. None other than the pack leader's howl. She finds it hard to believe that these monsters are alphas. They must be the pack leaders or whatever they are called. But then again, everyone is terrified. She can see the look on Emily's face. Emily was breathing heavily as she was.

Lilly looked back at her mate, Garth, who was sitting near the entrance with his head low. She slowly moved her gaze to his legs and saw them shaking. She shook her head and began applying more leaves and saps on Emily's leg to stop the bleeding completely. Luckily for her, she exactly copied her mother's medical skills, but she was not the only one. She knows the other pack healer is here, however, when the wolves are getting attacked by monsters; they need to find the nearest den for their safety.

Lilly looked to her right and saw a mother and a pup, holding onto each other tightly. She can't blame them. She would do the same thing for her pups.

For Garth, he was feeling the same thing as Lilly. Garth remembered what that dog said back then. The one who saved Lilly's life, and immediately destroyed Kyle with one single move. Those monsters are called humans. That name sounds so weird. Not just in terms of pronouncing their name, it just doesn't fit to their physical appearance and abilities.

His mind then switched to Humphrey. It made so much sense back then. From the beginning, Humphrey was just an omega. Then, it changes everything when he reveals his plan for the rogues. That plan is created by the humans. Garth began to think back then even more.

From the time when his dad and Winston are stuck in a stampede after the war. Those caribous and even wolves scattered because of the strange smell. That must've come from Humphrey. Kate also knows about it as well. She stood up for him, which gives everyone a clue that she knows about him. The real Humphrey. A wolf who lives with the humans.

Then, that strange familiar scent erupted in the environment. The pup slowly raised her head and looked down the forest. In the forest, she saw a monster, a pitch black hooded monster with strange markings on him with a black tail fan when the wind flowed around him.

"M-Mom...what's that" she asked, pointing towards the monster. The mother followed her daughter's gaze and gasped. Garth perked his ears and whipped his head around the corner and widened his eyes.

This one looks different. This monster has an unknown source of light bright as the sun in his right hand as it scans around its surroundings.

The monster turned his gaze down the feeding grounds, which makes everyone dig deeper into their den, avoiding the light. Garth quickly backed up when the light hit the entrance, and pressed his rear end against Lilly's side. He looked at his lover and she was just as terrified as he was. The light scanned around the territory back and forth. Every wolf in the den started panting heavily, knowing that he's coming to kill them all.

Garth and Lilly hold each other tightly and close their eyes madly, waiting for their fate.

Luckily for them, someone started barking in the distance, getting the monster's attention. He looked at the direction where the sound came from and ran towards it as fast as he could. The light disappeared, making everyone around them sighed heavily in relief.


Winston followed Eve along with some of his best alphas. He left Hutch behind to look after the pack while he went after his mate and his daughter. Even though it's dangerous for a pack leader to go out without his pack, he still takes the risk to protect his mate. He ran as fast as he could after her until he saw Eve and her group running around the corner.

He watched them running up to Kate and the dogs before he heard something that he wished he had never heard. Kate yelled at her mother to run, making Winston scared for his life. He ran towards them along with his group with his heart jumping up and down in his chest.

He then heard multiple thundering sounds up ahead. Winston ran even faster, breaking his limits and beyond, hoping that his mate and his daughter are okay. There are so many things that are happening up ahead that he can barely pick up what's going on with his ears.

"KATE!"

Winston widened his eyes when he heard that scream. It was Eve screaming after her name. As soon as he ran up the hill and finally arrived at the scene, he gasped as his eyes widened with terror in his eyes. He saw his own daughter, Kate, laid flat on the ground with silver jaws on her leg. Eve was behind held by Hummer and Max, knowing that she would get killed along with her. Winston ran towards them, and even jumped over them. He ran towards Kate before the monster could get her. He looked at the monster and saw him slowly walking towards her.

Then, something interrupted his smell like a lightning strike. Winston stopped running along with Sargent who slid into a halt right behind him. He was going to stop Winston from getting himself killed until he smelled the same thing that Winston is smelling right now. They all looked to their right, and saw another one stepping over the log. Winston wheezed and his body froze. He couldn't move even though his brain wanted him too.

But when fear settles in, that's when it gets real. Winston didn't even notice that Storm was running up to Sargent, telling him about something which he couldn't make out of because he's too scared.

Before he could even react, the monster behind Kate started running towards her at full speed. Winston can see the dirt he's kicking off with his feet shows how much power he's putting in.

This is it. He's going to watch his daughter die right in front of him. He feels so powerless and couldn't do anything against these mightiest creatures. He watches the monster in slow motion as it is running towards Kate. Then, the monster jumped up in the air. Winston closed his eyes, couldn't bear to watch his daughter die.

He then heard a loud but extremely low pitch bang sound. Winston immediately opened his eyes and saw the hooded creature punched the hunter in the face while he was in the air. He hit him so hard that it knocked his red eyes out, and his foot was dangling from his ankle. But in other words in the dogs' point of view, the human punched the hunter so hard that it knocked his thermal and his shoe off of him before the hunter got even the chance to say something. He was looking up to see the heated human figure running towards him and thinking it was his partner, but that is one major problem about thermal vision. He can't identify anyone else.

They both fell down to the ground with dirt flying everywhere, and making a dirt smoke around them after they landed. Winston was shocked to see what just happened. He couldn't even tell what's going on because it happened so quickly.

Then, one of them stood up from the smokey ground. When one of them stood up, the moonlight revealed his appearance. The human has black hair with brown eyes as he stood up from what looks like a black fan tail. What got his attention is his markings on his body. Winston has heard stories about monsters having markings on them, but the most common they have is on their chest and back. This one has gray markings all over him except his head, legs, hands, and feet. It's all located on his body. In other words, he's wearing a coat with cool designs on it.

The dogs started cheering, yipping and howling like crazy. Winston slowly turned his gaze at them. Every one of them was wagging their tail and barking at the human excitedly for some reason, which is getting Winston's attention towards him. Winston looked back at him and noticed he had something in his hand. He gasped when he saw a familiar object in it.

'Did he ripped it out from the other monster or was it just there before he even got here' he thought. Winston was referring to the gun that the human has in his hand. He indeed ripped it from the hunter, but Winston didn't see any blood considering that he doesn't even know that weapon is not part of their body, but a tool.

"Wha-What just happened" Winston stuttered. "Is he on our side?"

"Yep" said Sargent smiling. "That man right there is Humphrey's dad." Winston looked at him confused. Humphrey's dad? He's not even a wolf. He watched Humphrey's dad slowly walk towards the hunter with the rifle in his hand.

He then put the grip on his right hand, and slowly pointed the rifle at the hunter who was slowly getting up from the ground but soon collapsed onto the ground on his butt.

The hunter looked up and heard a click right after that. The first thing he saw was the barrel right up on his face. Humphrey's dad slowly titled his head around the scope with a smile on his face before pulling the trigger. Luckily for him, nothing came out of it. The rifle ran out of ammo. The hunter widened his eyes before starting to get up and beat him up, but it was too late.

Humphrey's dad tossed the rifle to the left side of his body, grabbed the barrel and then swung the rifle at him in a slashing motion. He hit the hunter right on his right cheek, cutting it up and sending the rifle flying up towards the air after hitting him. He balled up his right fist before sending it flying towards the cut up cheek while roaring at him.

The dogs and wolves began covering their ears due to how sensitive their hearing senses are. They all heard a loud banging sound when Humphrey's dad hit his face. He then hit him again, and again, and again.

Winston and the other wolves were shocked to witness something that has never happened in their eyes before. A monster attacking another monster. Kate was surprised that it was Humphrey's dad who saved her. How did he find her or the hunter?

Kate began to wonder if this is their plan. Keeping the hunters busy until their parents get here.

The hunter slowly got up on his feet, but Humphrey's dad pushed him down and continued hitting him in the face. The hunter grabbed his shirt, pulled him down and tossed him over his head. They both immediately stood up from the ground and stared at each other right in the eyes. The feeling in the air started to become heavy, and the wolves didn't like this feeling at all. It's either these two humans or it's that marked human giving off that kind of feeling. The feeling of the weight is unbearable, and none of them can't shake it off. Not even Eve.

Humphrey's dad and the hunter stared down at each other, and Sargent perked his ears, knowing what's going to happen.

He ran up to Winston and started to push him back.

"Hey man, we gotta get back" he said.

"Wait but...what about Kate" Winston asked him.

"Kate, get behind the tree and try to avoid their fight and incoming projectiles as possible" Sargent ordered her. Kate nodded her head and hid behind a tree. Luckily for her, the trap was long enough for her to limp around the corner of the tree. She looked at Humphrey who was at least four or five feet away from her. She grabbed Humphrey by his leg and started pulling him towards her for his safety. Humphrey was laid down tightly next to Kate's side while she looked around the corner of the tree and watched the fight. For the first time in history of Jasper Park, they're going to witness the showdown performed by the mightiest creatures on the planet.

There is a reason why Sargent told Kate to take cover. Out of all animals in the kingdom, humans are the only one who look around their surroundings, using anything, ANYTHING, that would become a weapon, even if it's not sharp or deadly enough.

Both humans started their walk to the right while keeping their eyes on each other. Even though they heavily rely on their eye sights, there's nothing much they can do except listening sounds in the dark.

Neither didn't want to use their flashlight. One of them might've attacked and closed in their distance extremely quickly if the flashlight was on.

They continue walking to an open field where the moonlight is shining on for them to see. As soon as they reached the open field, Humphrey's dad started to close in the distance after walking around the tree very quickly.

The hunter widened his eyes and immediately stepped back in surprise. Humphrey's dad cocked his right fist back, ready to strike him down, but it was a feint. He then sends him a jab and strikes him on his stomach. The hunter gagged from the impact. He growled before sending two punches left and right. Humphrey's dad dodged right and left before giving him a shovel punch to the stomach again, and then sent an overhand to his left cut cheek.

The hunter staggered back, and Humphrey's dad continued moving forward on him. He hit his face with his right and left hook with his head moving along with them repeatedly. The Dempsey Roll.

Kate widened her eyes. She had never seen anyone with such astonishing speed and reflexes. They both strike four times faster than the rattlesnake with a lot of power behind those hits, and it looks like he's hitting him with both of his hands at the same time.

The hunter grunted in pain as his left hook busted his swollen cheek open. He was about to send in another one until the hunter ducked and laid down on his back. He then lifted his legs towards his chest and kicked Humphrey's dad on the stomach, sending him flying. He landed on his back, and the hunter was ready to pounce on top of him.

Humphrey's dad quickly rolled over and got up on his feet. He looked at his opponent who was ready to punch him with his right fist. He quickly ducked his head to the left side, and hit his left cheek with an overhand. Kate could've swore she saw water exploding out of his head from the impact. Humphrey's dad then quickly pulled his right fist back and struck his chin with a blinding uppercut. The hunter staggered back again before sending him with a roundhouse kick. Humphrey's dad blocked it with his knee, and hit his chest with a cross. The hunter took his chance and wrapped his arm around his neck from the side. Humphrey's dad hit his stomach again with an elbow, which makes him stumble a few steps away from him. He tried to hit him with a cross, but Humphrey's dad slipped to the right side and attacked his right cheek with an overhand again. The hunter tried to strike him with a left hook, but he then blocked with his forearm and back fist onto his face before hitting him with a nasty powerful straight punch.

He slipped to the right and hit him on his back with a hook after the hunter performed a sloppy right hook. The hunter quickly looked behind him, and Humphrey's dad was already up on his face with his left fist closing into his right cheek, hitting it again before giving him a powerful blow to the face with an overhand. He stumbled back again before fixing his posture. The hunter growled and hit him with an overhand, but Humphrey's dad took the hit with a smile on his face before launching a powerful cross to his face.

The hunter flew back and rolled onto the ground. Humphrey's dad ran towards him and tried to punch him again. The hunter blocked it with his forearm before kicking him from the ground. He spun around and kicked him again with his other leg. He then spins around again and gives him a left hook.

Humphrey's dad turned and hit his face with a powerful roundhouse kick, knocking him to the ground. The hunter slowly lifted his head up and saw his rifle in the distance. He was starting to realize that he is quickly losing in a fight. Humphrey's dad slowly walked up to him, and the hunter looked back and kicked him on his ankle, making him collapse to the ground.

He then stood up quickly and ran towards his rifle. He was within twenty one feet away from his rifle but his head got hit by something else. It was a rock. He turned his body position towards his opponent and saw four rocks flying towards him with astonishing speed.

He dodged them, almost getting hit by all four of them until he saw a broken branch flying towards him. He ducked and watched the branch slowly graze his nose. If he didn't dodge that, it would've hit one of his eyes. The hunter collapsed onto the ground and quickly crawled towards his rifle again.

Humphrey's dad tackled him to the ground, knocking the wind out of him. It felt like he was in a car crash. He then wrapped a string around his neck. The hunter gagged from the impact, and Humphrey's dad then put his left arm around his neck, and pulled the string harder with his right hand. Locking him into a choke hold with a Garrote.

Kate had seen this tactic before. This tactic is very common. From what it looks like, he was constricting his neck like a constrictor snake would do except, he's not doing it with his whole body.

Instead, he focuses on one place with a string around his neck. Humphrey's dad began pulling his head towards the ground, attempting to snap his head. He pulled the string harder to cut into his neck while putting pressure onto it with his arm, cutting his oxygen and blood flow with a string digging its way towards his arteries. Humphrey's dad had his knee on his back for him to bend his back, and squeezed his neck harder. The hunter wheezed and started struggling in his grasp.

He tried to pry his arm off of him, but it was no use after starting to see the first sign of losing consciousness.

"H-Hey!"

Everyone stopped moving, and Humphrey's dad looked up to see the other hunter. He had his night vision goggles with him, and a shotgun aiming at him with his arms shaking to keep it steady. Humphrey's dad slowly stood up with the hunter in his arms. He then slowly walked towards him as he stepped back a little. Hunters are not scared when it comes to killing an animal, but when it comes to attempting to shoot or kill another human being; it's on a whole different level.

"Stay back" he yelled at him. Humphrey's dad says nothing, but he kept walking towards him with his friend. He then shoves his friend towards him, and the hunter catches him in his arms.

He then started to get the feeling of his shotgun getting yanked out from his hand. It was Humphrey's dad. He charged in after releasing the other hunter before grabbing the shotgun with his left hand on the barrel and sending an uppercut to his face. His knuckles scraped his cheek and hit his night vision goggles, making them fly out of his head. The shotgun slipped out of his grasps before swinging his fist towards him. The hunter dodged his attack and wrapped his hands around his neck. He pushed him down onto his knees, choking him out. Humphrey's dad then grabbed his wrists, and one of them is injured. The hunter winced when he felt his fingers digging into his wound. He pulled his arm down with such force down to his side with a smile on his face.

He let go one of his wrists and gave him a nasty blow to the neck. The hunter whimpered as he held his neck with both of his hands. He stumbled back a little bit, giving more room for Humphrey's dad. The hunter swung his arm for a punch, but Humphrey's dad blocked it with his forearm before slamming his other forearm onto his wrist, making him almost drop down onto his knees.

He then swung his arm and slammed his fist against his face before throwing a cross and hitting his face with it. The hunter screamed in pain as he fell towards the ground. Humphrey's dad charged in and was about to pounce on him and attack everything he's got.

The hunter planted his foot on his stomach and swung him high over his head while he was on the ground. Humphrey's dad then disappeared into the darkness as the hunter got up and turned on his flashlight.

Humphrey's dad decided to use this as an advantage. The hunter with the flashlight is a huge bright target for anyone else, especially for him. He blended into the darkness and walked around him in circles. He picked rocks and sticks and threw them from the opposite side of him to distract him.

The hunter spins around every time when a rock or a stick whizzes past his head and slams against the tree. It's hard for him to keep on track where he is right now from all the noises around him.

As soon as he turned his back against him, Humphrey's dad jumped out from the darkness with a moon shot right behind his back in the background. He wrapped his legs and arms around his body from behind and punched his face again as he spun around. Humphrey's dad locked him in a choke hold with the same tactic he used earlier.

The hunter gagged as he stumbled back and smashed Humphrey's dad against the tree. He let go and pushed him back to the ground.

The hunter rolled onto the ground and saw him coming in for an attack fierce like a hurricane. He jumped up in the air to avoid his aggressive punch and continue stepping back. Humphrey's dad then cocked his right arm back, and the hunter took his chance and gave him a powerful straight punch to the right cheek. He then widened his eyes when he saw his head slipped around his fist and slammed his fist against his face, sending him flying towards the ground before rolling across the ground.

He stood up and saw him coming for another devastating attack. Humphrey's dad planted his left foot onto the ground before swinging his arm to his right side, sending a roundhouse towards his head.

The hunter ducked his head down and was ready to tackle him down until he saw an evil smile plastered on his face.

Humphrey's dad then spun around quickly with his left leg lifted high up towards his belly side before striking his upper right side abdomen with a spinning back kick. He kicked him so hard that it slammed the hunter's body up against a pine tree and cracked it. The hunter started whimpering loudly before collapsing onto the ground and curled up into a ball while wheezing. He got struck right onto the liver. The largest organ in the body, and it's about the same size as a football. Getting hit in the liver will knock a person down instantly, no matter how big the person is.

Kate gasped when she saw the impact. It shook the whole pine tree from the impact and it even made a cracked opening on the tree's body. This...this changes everything. A human strong enough to develop that much power would probably be able to take down pretty much almost any animal in the forest except bears, moose, wild horses etc.

The hunter tried to stand up on his feet, but he couldn't. He only got onto his knees with his head on the ground, trying to catch his breath. He looked up and saw him charging in, and the only thing that could keep him on his feet a little bit was his adrenaline rush. But that was his mistake for doing that.

As he stood up, Humphrey's dad sent a blinding roundhouse to his head, slamming it against the pine tree again and breaking the tree's body. The hunter instantly closed his eyes and fell to the ground. He was completely knocked out.

"Wait" the other hunter screamed, pleading at Humphrey's dad to not kill his partner. "We'll-We'll leave okay" he said slowly walking up to him while holding his neck.

"Drop everything you have in your pocket" he then replied to him.

"Wh-What?"

"Don't play dumb. Drop everything you have in your pocket. Right...now or else..."

"Okay Okay. I will." The hunter followed his order, dropping everything from his pockets such as magazines for his rifles, flashlight, etc. He was about to take out his phone, keys and wallets until Humphrey's dad told him he can keep it. He was not interested in taking people's personal items that they needed the most. All he wants to do is to make sure they don't have any weapons. The injured hunter was about to take his rifle away until Humphrey's dad spoke up.

"Wait..." He walked around him, picked up the rifle, and dropped the clip and the bullet out of the gun. He then handed it to him as he used it like a cane to get around. He watched the hunter slowly pick up his knocked out partner before starting walking away without saying anything. He was not going to ask any questions about his actions because that is going to make the situation worse than ever before. He also didn't even think about looking for his partner's shotgun.

About that...

Humphrey's dad kept his gaze on them until they walked over the hill and disappeared to the other side. He turned his gaze to his right and saw the shotgun. He picked it up before sliding the slide back in order to see the shells inside of the weapon. He then smiled before sliding it back, catching the bullet and slipped it into the gun.

Kate smiled when she saw the hunters disappeared over the hill tops. The danger is finally gone thanks to the dogs and Humphrey's dad. Humphrey's dad put the shotgun over his shoulder before turning his attention to Kate and walked towards her. Kate didn't flinch every time when he made a step because she had met him before. He was the first human who was extremely kind to her, and protected her from danger. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't know what she would do in the first place nor do the dogs. Kate then felt someone stirred up on her side. She looked down and saw Humphrey starting to wake up from her grasp. She began to blushed heavily when she noticed the position that they were in.

She immediately let go of him and laid down on her belly with a sheepishly smile plastered on her face.

Humphrey then rolled onto his belly and shook his head side to side before lifting his head up. The first thing he saw was his father. Humphrey widened his eyes when he started to recognize his scent and his appearance. He instantly stood up on his paws, barking at him happily with a speedy tail before running towards him.

"Hey buddy" he said, kneeling down, and Humphrey ran in circles around him multiple times with his tongue sticking out. He then brushed his side on his legs, getting ready for his amazingly patting. Humphrey closes his eyes when he feels him stroke his back lovely before laying down on his back for a belly rub.

Kate watched their beautiful reunion. It shows how powerful their bond really is, and she felt like she stood no chances to get in between both of them. They both cared about each other so much that she can see tears underneath Humphrey's beautiful sapphire eyes. He is extremely happy to see his dad right in front of him. Humphrey's dad then turned his attention to Kate again before walking towards her. Humphrey stood up and followed him side by side with his tail wagging.

Winston widened his eyes when he saw the "Alpha leader Monster" approaching his daughter. He was about to stand up and blocked him from attacking her until Sargent stood right in front of him. He shook his head no, and Winston turned his gaze at the situation. He really didn't like how his heart is squeezing in and out tightly with all the intense moments that happened earlier. He looked at his daughter, and she had a smile on her face.

'Is she crazy or something' he yelled in his mind.

Humphrey's dad then bent down with his hand underneath her chin. She looked at his hand with her head tilted to the side. She was confused to see his weird actions when he did that until it was inches from her. She sniffed his hand, and Humphrey's dad slid his hand underneath her chin and started to stroke her affectionately. Kate instantly closed her eyes when he made contact with her. She began to enjoy his strokes on her. He moved his hand on top of her head, and Kate shot her eyes open. She couldn't believe how heavy his hand was. His hand is filled with so much love in it. That's how heavy it is. She then watched him moving towards her trapped leg, and opened the trap with ease.

Kate moved her leg out of the trap and looked at it. Her leg, mostly her ankle, was bleeding due to the trap's sharp teeth. She stared at it for a few minutes until the first thing she saw was Humphrey's dad wrapping her wound with something white. Kate widened her eyes after realizing what he was doing. He was covering her injury, preventing her leg dying from blood lost. Kate slowly stood up after he finished wrapping around her injured leg, and she slowly walked towards Humphrey three legged. She smiled at him lovely, and Humphrey smiled back at her.

Humphrey's dad stood up and whistled at the dogs. The dogs came running in and sat down right in front of him. He motioned his head back to the camp, and they barked at him in response before walking towards that direction. Humphrey's dad followed behind, and Humphrey started to followed his father as well.

As soon as he was within thirty feet away from Kate, he stopped after realizing something else. He was going to leave Kate behind, and most likely he will never see her or confess his feelings towards her.

He slowly looked back at Kate who was standing there leaning against the tree with a worried and scared expression on her face. She was having the same feeling as Humphrey. If he left, she would never see him and confessed her feelings. She would be devastated if that happened. Humphrey was about to walk back to her, but at the same time he did the same to his dad back and forth.

He loved both of them, but he couldn't decide. He continued staggering back and forth. His heart was beating over a hundred miles per hour, knowing the consequences on both sides if he chose one. He's too scared to see it happen.

Then, Humphrey's dad spoke up.

"You can stay if you want Humphrey. I don't mind if you hang out with your new friends or your new girlfriend. All I want to know is to make sure that you're okay and letting me know where you are" he explained, looking back at him with all the other dogs right in front of him.

This made him smiled widely and wagging his tail in the speed of light. He couldn't believe what he just said. He thought he was going to be forced out of this park and stay with his father, which he don't mind, but leaving Kate behind is another thing that he's afraid of. But when he said that, it felt like a huge weight on his shoulder disappeared. He was in so much relief that he didn't noticed that his dad disappeared within the darkness with the dogs. And with that, he passed out with a huge smile on his face due to him seeing his dad and having his permission to stay with the pack for a little bit longer.

Meanwhile, Kate was madly blushing at what he just said about being Humphrey's girlfriend. Did he noticed her feelings or what? She had no idea how did he figure it out, but then again. He's a human being.

Kate snapped back in reality when she heard Humphrey fainted. She limped towards him and looked at his happy face with a smile plastered on hers. She then heard commotions, so she looked back and saw the wolves starting to leave the scene.

Kate looked back at Humphrey before picking him up over her shoulders and onto her back again. She was about to limped away until her father, Winston came up to him and put Humphrey on his back.

"I got it Kate" he said, smiling at her. Kate smiled back at him, and they both walked back to the pack peacefully with no danger behind their back.

Idk if this part feels like rush to you guys, but that's all I got. I was going to put something about Humphrey leading his dad to the pack and check on Emily, but I'll think of something else that is even more clever than that. :D I have something in my mind about their first introduction when they met Humphrey's dad. It's something that you guys will never expected. Mwuhahahahaha. Anyways, what did you guys think? What will happen next? I'm TheRavenMocker. Be a raven, mock the ravens. We'll see you guys in the next flight.
