Chapter 6

Too Much To Just Use Guns

Road. 2 miles from Jasper Park.

Jeffrey was driving the black 1985 Lincoln Town Car Stretched Limosine to Jasper Park in rain that fell as hard as ashes from a volcano.

"Put your seatbelt on." said Jeffrey.

Jade then obeyed.

"They're back." said Jade. "There's a lot of them. They're chasing my aunt and an omega!" she cried.

Jeffrey put his foot to the floor.

At Jasper, Rooney and Riska ran inside Eve's den, worn out from running.

"What... are those?" Riska asked out of breath.

"Evil." said Gadget.

"No... shit." Riska said out of breath.

"Wolves contaminated with evera alloy, a white liquid that turns grey once it enters the body." said Sheba. "It controls living things, but most of the time, it's wolves. Evera is also able to melt inanimate objects. When it wolves, it turns fur white and eyes silver. It is very dangerous and can only be destroyed by fire."

"Daddy, are we all gonna die?" Julianne asked Humphrey.

"No, princess." said Humphrey. "They are."

"You promise?" asked Julianne.

"Daddy promises." said Humphrey. "Why don't you and mommy and Kandy and Hawthorne go to another room?"

"Yes." said Kate and kissed Humphrey on the cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too." said Humphrey.

Eve smiled as she watched.

"Kids, go with your aunt." Salty said to his and Rooney's three children, Gary, Jo-Anne and Kelly.

Kate and the six pups went to a different room.

"So, are we outnumbered?" asked Eve.

"All of us in the den are outnumbered terribly." said Rooney. "I have reason to believe our packs combined can handle them, but providing that Gadget, Jade, Tony, Winston and Hunter are the only ones who have cellphones, we're not able to make contact with anyone outside the den except for Hunter, Kirby, Jade and Jeffrey."

"I've got a plan." said Gadget and lie down a map of Jasper Park. "The Northern and Southern territories are both separate from us because of huge mountains. I'm betting evera alloy can't make it over that. Providing that fact, I'd say I'd have enough gasoline mines to blow it to extinction. The minus side is they're heat censored. Anything not cold can set them off. Once I'm dropping them from the chopper, everyone needs to remain inside. Even if they're on the cliff of the den, their body heat can set off a mine and it will be lethal."

Gadget then got a call on his cellphone.

"Hello?" Gadget answered.

"Hey, it's Jeffrey." said Jeffrey. "We'll be at Jade's within an hour."

"Sounds good." said Gadget.

"Bye." said Jeffrey.

"See ya." said Gadget and hung up. "The mines are post-poned."

"What for?" asked Eve.

"Jade's coming home." said Gadget. "If the mines are set when she arrives, the heat from the limo will set them off. If we put down unset ones, those things might steal them."

"So, wait." said Eve. "You're telling me that these things that cannot talk might steal mines?"

"Just because they can't talk, doesn't mean they're not smart." said Gadget.
