Penny walked up the steps. "are you planning on working like that today then Elvis?" she asked noticing her friend was in a different set of clothes. "no. I'm going to the beach with Sam." he replied leaning against the back side of the couch. Sam came out of the bathroom. He tossed his work uniform into the duffle bag. He closed it afterwards. "alright I'm ready." Elvis nodded. He looked at the clock. "you go ahead Elvis. I just need to talk to Sam real quick." murmured Anika. Elvis nodded. He waved to Sam before leaving the room. Anika grew serious looking at Sam. She threw Penny a look. Penny looked away from them carefully. "Darian took a look at Charlie's injuries. They look like small otter marks." Sam raised an eyebrow. "are you sure? You know how crafty Kora is. I doubt Hoshi would harmed him." Anika nodded. "I'm not saying Hoshi did it. Considering female otters leave bigger marks than that." Sam looked confused. "Hoshi's otter form is a lot bigger than the average half-breed otter. I know that he's a dude but his form is a chick." Anika put her cup of tea down. "going back to his injuries, it's very possible that Kora took on an otter form to hurt Charlie. I don't know why she would pick him of all targets." Sam sighed. "I don't know either. I don't like the vibes I'm getting from this either. Thanks for keeping me up to date, Anika." Anika nodded. "it's my pleasure dear."
Meanwhile,
Buck had arranged to meet with someone in the old Red Moon Cavern. He grimanced feeling the dirty water from the creek above him leak through the roof. He looked at his watch again. "sorry I'm late." came a female voice. Buck saw a dark red haired women walk into view. "hopefully I didn't keep you waiting too long." Buck smiled kindly. "it's no problem. I heard that you wanted to meet up with me?" She nodded. "I'm Kora Peyton. I have a little job that could use your expertise." Buck motioned for her to continue. "you see, I have a hunter problem. My brothers, Samuel and Darian, are both hunters that need to be removed from PontyPandy as quickly as possible." Buck raised an eyebrow. "How?" She walked around him. "very simple. Your going to keep them distracted. I have a little plan to poison the moon with blood tonight." Buck crossed his arms. "what do I get in return for helping you?" he asked. "I can help you get that little boy you've been lusting over." Buck smiled, "I'm listening," Kora smirked as she started explaining the plan, "After they get a little break, you go back to PontyPandy, and you will make sure that the blue haired boy is drawn away from Samuel. That way, I can poison the moon and rain terror on my brothers, and you will be able to get the boy you desire, since he will be so heartbroken to have his lover dead so quickly. You will be there to comfort him and he will be all yours when I'm done." Buck started laughing, "It's a deal then," They both shook hands, "But wait, Sam might be on alert for the blood moon tonight," Kora looked at him for a moment, "As much as I hate waiting, you're right. Guess we'll just have to wait another night to poison the moon with blood. We'll give them a little time to relax, until they're so relaxed that they wont notice the blood moon then."
Back at the fire station,
Elvis was outside waiting for Sam. In all honesty, he was nervous as well, he never imagined dating a man. Then again, his crush on Penny has subsided and he's never been interested in any women. 'I wonder why...' Elvis thought, his thoughts were interrupted when Sam came out the door, "You ready?" Sam asked. Elvis smiled and nodded as he followed Sam to the beach.
