Amara sits in the lounge of the apartment she shares with Michelle, Trista and Hotaru wearing a baggy t-shirt and a pair jeans lounging on the sofa when she hears a knock at the door, she goes to answer it, she opens the door to reveal her older brother Alex who was wearing an American baseball jacket over his black t-shirt and his shoulder holster "Alex, what brings you here?" Amara asked.
"You know that youma you did a number on last night, I've been trying to slow the case down."
"Thanks…" Amara said before Hotaru walks in "uncle Alex" Hotaru said before she ran over to Alex and hugged him "shouldn't you be in school Hotaru?" seeing a small bruise on her cheek "usual suspects eh?" he asked and Hotaru nodded back "I'll have a word with them, hell I'll even put them in the cells for a couple of hours" he replied "you playing tonight?" Amara asked her brother "yeah, usual place" he replied before he left and went to his car with his partner Rayne waiting for him inside "what was all that about?" she asked as Alex got in to the car and sat in the drivers seat "my niece is having some trouble at school, so we're gonna swing by there and take 'em in for a few hours." he said before they drive off and head off to the school.
"I never knew you had a niece." Rayne said making Alex look at her "well, technically she's not related to me or my sister she's adopted, but she means a lot to me and my sister." He replied as they stop outside the school and get out and walk inside "never thought I'd be back here" he muttered to himself "and why's that?" his partner asked making him rather nervous, "let's just say I used to be a little wild" he replied "that's an understatement, more like destructive" a voice said from behind him making him cringe as he turned round "oh, hey teach… hehehehehehehe." Was all he could say whilst scratching the back of his head "I thought we got rid of you, what brings you back here?" his old teacher asked.
"I'm here because my niece is having some trouble."
"You mean Hotaru's your niece?"
"Adopted niece she lives with my sister, actually I've left my wild side behind." He said as he pulled out his badge and watching the teachers jaw drop and he gives the names of the people who have been giving Hotaru a hard time "the usual suspects, what are you going to do to them?" the teacher asked "just put them in the cells for an hour or two, just to scare them" he replied as they followed his old teacher, a few minutes later Alex and Rayne march the bullies into one of the cells at the station "relax, you'll be out in an hour… maybe less if you stop harassing my niece." Alex tells them and they look at each other "hey Alex, the captain wants to see both of you… what's this? Some skivers." Another officer said "no giving my niece trouble, let them out in an hour, will you." He said before he and Rayne left for the captain's office.
"A new case?"
"A special case just for you Alex, I know you've been covering up for someone on these youma cases and when I find out who it is your badge and ass are mine, go down to the 'dead room' to see your new case." The captain said before they leave, when they leave they go to the 'dead room' "I hate coming here." Rayne said as they walk into the room and find a mauled body on a metal table when the doctor handling the corpse walks in "you must be the two handling this case?" "Yeah." Alex replied as the doctor pulled back the sheet to reveal a badly mauled body "HOLY SHIT!" Rayne shouted "couldn't be, I thought Amara and me were the only one's in this town" Alex thinks to himself as the doctor goes through his theory. Half an hour later they leave and go to where the body was found, when they get there they find cops taking statements from people who live nearby as Alex and Rayne go underneath the tape and into the area, which is covered in blood.
"Whatever it was must have grabbed our corpse, dragged it down here whilst the person was still alive and ripped to shreds." Alex said whilst following the trail of blood before he stops at the bottom of an alley and reaches behind a dumpster and pulls out a severed hand with a dog like tooth in it and Rayne catches up to him "well, I found the missing hand." He said as he pulled out the tooth and put it in his pocket before turning round, "here catch" threw the hand to Rayne who catches it, looks at it for a second before screaming and dropping it.
Later
Alex sits in his apartment staring at the tooth before he puts it away and grabs a wooden box and opens it to reveal silver plated bullets "looks like I'll be needing these." He said to himself before he closes the box and puts it away before he stands up and leaves.
Two hours later
Alex sits behind a drum kit twirling the drumsticks in between his fingers waiting for his friend Johnston to get on with the next song "Johnston you lazy ass fuckmoot, get on with it!" Alex shouted making Johnston turn round "I'm just getting to that you ass monkey" came the reply "this ones called of wolf and man."
Off through the new day's mist I run
Off from the new day's mist I have come
I hunt
Therefore I am
Harvest the land
Taking of the fallen lamb
Off through the new day's mist I run
Off from the new day's mist I have come
We shift
Pulsing with the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Earth's gift back to the meaning of life
Bright is the moon high in starlight
Chill is the air cold as steel tonight
We shift
Call of the wild
Fear in your eyes
It's later than you realized
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Earth's gift back to the meaning of life
I feel I change
Back to a better day
Hair stands on the back of my neck
In wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Earth's gift
Back to the meaning of wolf and man
After the show Alex goes home he goes to sleep on the couch, several hours later he gets a phone call "yeah? What is it… another mauling? I'll be right over." He said before getting dressed and leaving for the scene to find Rayne with a cup of coffee trying not to throw up, Alex shows his badge to the officers and they let him pass "what's the details Rayne?" he asked.
"Another dead body, cause of death mauling like the last one."
Alex turns round and looks up to see the senshi standing on a roof "excuse me Rayne, need to take a slash… drank too much." He said before he goes down an alley and the senshi meet him down at the bottom "it's not a youma killing, it's more of a big dog… well that's an understatement it's more of a huge fucking dog." He said "and yes, I too care of those bullies for you Hotaru."
"Thanks uncle."
"When I get more news I'll let you know."
The senshi leave and Alex walks back out of the alley and Rayne hands her coffee before she throws up "heh, don't worry about it Rayne" he said before she looks up at him "yeah right" was all she could say before Alex walks away.
