A/N: I think I've played too much Watch Dogs and too much Hardline, now that I've reread the last chapter. I feel like this story is gonna take an unexpected turn. I'll just keep working on the fic and see how it turns out (I might even abandon the story if it goes wrong). With that being said R and R and enjoy this eighth chapter. See you at the end of the chapter.

Marcus Zephyr

Lilly's P.O.V.

I just sat in the hospital room room looking at Humphrey's peaceful face. I can't believe how awful we were to him last night. I only understood why he wanted to wait so long, today because I was to stupid to listen to him last night. Hell, he almost died because of us.

One of the doctors walked in with something in his hand. "What's that?" I asked curiously.

"We aren't entirely sure what this is either. We found this in Humphrey's pocket. We've decided to hand it over to you." The doctor said giving me the... whatever it was.

I decided to leave and head back home. Oh, that's right. Humphrey's house was destroyed in the explosion so I have to go back to my house.

As I was walking, I saw a shadey black Sedan leave the hospital, I decided to follow the car. I know I probably shouldn't be doing this but if it had something to do with Humphrey, I had to do this.

The car was cruising at a fairly slow speed so this was a huge help and gave me an advantage in keeping up on foot.

After about 25 minutes of tailing the car, it stopped at some huge building. I then assumed that I tailed the car for nothing, maybe there was a business meeting in there.

I turned around but as I did so, the driver of the car opened the door to the wolf sitting in the back. That's when I heard a familiar, old, worn out voice call out.

"Excuse me young lady, are you lost?" Asked the black wolf.

I turned around to face him. There was something about this wolf that threatens me in some way.

"Uh... no. I was just heading home..." I said starting to walk back.

"Now now, miss. No need to be frightened. I'm not here to cause a fuss." He said. "Here, come with me." He insisted, motioning to the door with his cane.

'Lilly, what are you getting yourself into?" I thought to myself as I followed him into the building.

The interior of the building showed that it was clearly from a wealthy company. "This company has been running for over 60 years and I'm hoping to pass it down to someone worthy." The wolf said as we walked up to the fifth floor's hallways.

"Not to be rude sir, but what am I doing here?" I asked trying to find a way out of this situation.

"Hehehe, you tell me. You were in that restaurant last night weren't you?" He asked hinting at something. I didn't want to know what.

I slowly backed away from him. I can't believe that a 70 year old-looking wolf scares me. "So you know that young man?" Asked the wolf now getting closer to me.

"Hm, what's your name, young lass?" He asked now stopping in his tracks.

"Lilly, Lilly Snow." I said now backed up to the wall. "I see, so you're not Lilly Violet Quinn?" He asked making my eyes widen.

"Quinn? T-that's my parents surname." I said out loud, catching his attention.

"Your parents died because they didn't hold up to the business's end of the deal." He said, walking closer to me. I was already standing against the glass now so I had no way out.

"What are you... what are you talking about?" I asked frightened of what he was going to do next.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get a chance to ask your parents yourself." He said as he pulled out a sword from his cane and aimed at my throat.

"I hate to do this to any fine lady but you got your nose deep in some else's business. Because you were such a good girl and made your 'uncle' Marcus Z. very happy, I can at least grant you the chance to say your last words." He said.

I wasted no time and kicked the glass window and jumped backwards. He thrusted the the sword but barely cut my skin down my abdomen because I leaned so far back and because he was extremely slow.

I never thought this through and I just fell to what I thought was going to be my R.I.P.P (rest in pepperoni place) but it was actually something softer but at the same time it was equally painful.

"Agh, I'm still alive!" I shouted out in suprise and pain as I looked at the side of the building I fell from.

"What the hell did I land on anyway?" I asked feeling the rough metal surface.

"You landed on my Goddamn van!" Shouted a wolf.

"Hutch?" I asked suprised seeing him it the alley. I was definitely not expecting to see someone else in a place like this.

"Lilly?" He asked equally suprised as I was. "What on earth are you doing here?" He asked.

"I was asking myself the same question." I said as I tried getting of the van's once flat roof.

"I think my arm is broken." I said holding my painful shoulder. 'I can't believe I jumped out of a building, and survived.' I thought.

"Damn does your boyfriend know that you're a hardcore badass jumpin' out of buildings?" Hutch asked helping me into the van.

"No but, he's done the same thing before." I replied earning a snicker from him.

As we got in, we heard one of the wolves from the building say "Spread out! Find the little bitch, she couldn't have gone far."

"In, in, in, in, in." Hutch pressured me to get in faster. He immediately floored it and we headed for the hospital. I looked down and say that my bleeding was becoming worse.

I felt myself slowly close my eyes. I really felt sleepy. "Uh... Hutch? I don't... feel so good..." I said before I blacked out from the loss of blood.

Humphrey's P.O.V.

I shot up from the bed remembering the explosion from last night. I wasn't badly injured it seems but I did have a scar on my chest. I looked over to the side and saw a note from Lilly. I didn't read it and I decided to keep it in my pocket.

I reached into my pocket and realized that the peace of tech wasn't there. I walked down the hallway and as I was about to talk to the doctor, I saw Lilly in a stretcher being rushed to the operation room. She looked like she got hurt really bad.

I saw her open her eyes and she stretched out her hand to me dropping something in the process I was so scared and worriedof what might have happened to her. I then saw Hutch walk in to the hospital just seconds later.

"Hutch, what happened to Lilly?" I asked him but he had a grim face when I asked.

"Kid, I want answers as much as you do now. All I saw was someone fall from the fifth floor of a building-" I cut him off.

"Whoa, whoa whoa. Lilly jumped out a building?!" I shouted extremely loud. "Yeah, she broke her arm doing so. She said she was tailing some car that left from the hospital. She didn't say anything else." Hutch finished.

I was still taking the time to process what just happened. "Humphrey, this better not have something to do with the gizmo and the Marcus guy because if it does, then you're in shit." Hutch said. We walked to the operation room then I stepped on something.

"Lilly dropped this on the way to the room." I said. I picked it up and saw that it was the hard drive-looking thing I was looking for.

"Uh Hutch, I think it did have something to do with that." I said as I showed him that piece of tech.

"For fuck's sake Humphrey! I told you to stay out of it now the girl's hurt!" Hutch said angrily.

"It's not my fault! My friends and I were just going out on dates then 'suprise suprise', guess who showed up the restuarant. I wanted my friends and I to leave but it's not my fault they wouldn't listen! I told them we would meet back at my place but there wasn't a place to meet after my house got rigged with a bomb!" I told Hutch the story.

"Humphrey, what have you gotten yourself into?" Hutch asked clearly exhausted from today.

"I don't know, it's all because of this stupid hard drive!" I said about to break the thing.

"Hold it right there Mr. Williams." Asked a wolf. "Winston? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm here because of what you have in your hands... and also because a rower of mine ended up in hospital because of it." He said taking off his cap in respect.

"So I'm guessing that you know what this is?" I asked Winston, showing him the device.

"Of course. Your father told me all about it." Winston said with an understanding nod.

"You never told me that you knew my father and you never told me that I had something that some mafia wolf would go so far as to almost kill Lilly and I just for it." I said angrily feeling like I could just knock him out right now.

"I did what your dad made me promise." Winston said.

"How the hell do you know my dad anyway?" I asked him still angry at him.

"Your father coached me as a rower back when Inwas in college." He said still not fully answering the question.

"My father never did the sport." I said not really thinking deep into this.

"In that case then there's a lot that you don't know about your father." Winston said

"Like this thing. A wolf named Marcus Zephyr is looking for this drive to upload to all rowers monitoring computers to instantly kill them on the boat." Winston said. This almost made me laugh.

"Since when are rowing boats electronic?" I asked him because all of this sounded like bull crap to me.

"Since next month actually. Haven't you been watching the news? Marcus's company is one of the world's biggest sports companies. He came up with the idea of next gen watersports. He's planning to use this device to electrocute the competitors during the races. He calls this Operation: ZEUS. All except for his own crew, which will pe participating in the Olympics next year." He explained.

"I don't believe you." I said plainly as I walked away from him.

"You really want you friend to get hur again or probably worse because of it?" Winston said in the distance.

I stopped in my tracks then walked back to him. I took the stupid drive and walked out the hospital with Hutch.

"Uh, Humphrey your house blew up so where are you going?" Hutch asked reminding me that I don't have a home to go to.

"Ah, I'll make a plan." I said knowing that I completely had no idea how I'm going to sort this out.

Hutch just sighed when I said this. "There's a friend of mine who used to live in a mansion just up near Idaho. If you want I could ask him for you." Hutch offered.

"So I can what? Live in his basement, no thanks." I declined his offer.

"Which reminds, his mansion doesn't have a 'basement'. It's got a secret bunker under the house." Hutch added on making me wonder what kind friends does Hutch have.

"So he's got a Bat Cave. Very interesting. But what kind of wolf just leaves a mansion and a secret bunker behind?" I asked.

"He actually called it the Wolf Den. He said he had to flee the country because a pack of enemy wolves just wouldn't leave him alone." Hutch said.

"Fine then, make the call." I told Hutch. There were so many questions that I still had with no answers. Now I feel like my life just got turned around.

A/N: Chapter 8 is up. I really didn't waste time uploading this one because I'm going to take time working on the next one. So I'm sure that you can tell this story is definitely not going to be a normal typical high school fic. Probably gonna be some aliens :) Just kidding. Review on this chapter too.

Stay Frosty Readers
