Chapter 2

"These stupid-ass police officers. What the hell do they think they're doing locking us up like this. We haven't done anything!" A young man called Lovino complained as he paced a holding cell like a caged animal. The only things rememberable about the man was his foul attitude and the fact that he had dog ears and a tail. The ears and tail were due to the fact that like the rest of his family he was a werewolf. A werewolf who last year caused a bit of a stir when their grandfather returned and convinced him and his younger brothers to try sacrificing their human friends to gain more power. Since then, Arthur had made enchanted collars to try pacifying their monstrous tendencies and their friends looked out for them, but none of this seemed to quell the eldest brother's temperament.

"Lovi, can you calm down. I think that one about to piss himself was supposed to come and give us breakfast," the youngest of the three werewolf brothers, a teenager called Sebo, commented.

"Wow, morning already? Does that mean we can go back to work now, because we'll need to work hard to make up for missing the dinner rush yesterday," the third and last young man in the holding cell commented as he tiredly rubbed the sleep from his eyes. This man was Antonio, a human who had looked out for the werewolf brothers as their friend since they were kids in an orphanage, before he even realized that they were different.

"Now that I think about it, why did they also arrest me?" Antonio asked the officer who had gathered enough courage to bring their breakfast.

"We were told to arrest the workers at your restaurant under suspicion of those bizarre attacks and abductions last year," the officer answered.

The trio grew silent for a moment as they heard this. It was true that the three of them each played a role in that whole mess, but they were told that since none of the victims were going to press the issue there was nothing to worry about. They thought that since no news of the event had come about in the last year that what they were told was true. So why was someone causing a fuss now?

"We were as much victims of that whole mess as the other guys. We were being manipulated," Antonio complained. He knew he was telling the truth, and did not understand why they were being punished when it was that older werewolf's whole plan.

"So if we got busted for it then why isn't Feli here with us?" Sebo asked as the officer left them to eat the simple meal in peace.

"Tck, must be nice to have the mayor looking out for you. Of course it would be too much trouble for him to send some of that influence our way," Lovino scoffed as he ate. Feli, or Feliciano, was their third brother who left the restaurant a few years prior to help his friend the mayor as an aide. The others understood that it was a good move for the brother, but Lovino seemed to hold a grudge for it. But at the moment neither of the other two felt like arguing the comment.

"They can't just hold us forever, and they only found of suspicious. So at some point they'll have to question us or charge us or something," Antonio commented as he racked his mind for any idea what they could expect.

"Don't they often say on TV that we were supposed to get a phone call? You know, to call for an attorney or someone to post bail or something?" Sebo asked as he thought back to the last detective show he watched. They did not have a television at their apartment, and when he was not at work he tended to roam the streets with his friends, so he tended to remember the little television programs he could watch.

"And who would we call exactly? Do any of you idiots know someone who could help us?" Lovino asked. He hated to admit it, but at the moment the only person he could think of was Feliciano.

"What about Arthur. I mean, he was able to do some pretty amazing stuff to help us before so maybe he could cast a spell to make the police forget we did anything or something," Antonio thought aloud.

"We could, but here comes the question: How do we reach him?" Sebo asked. He had learned more about the wizard who stopped their plans from a younger friend of his, but even his friend did not know the wizard's phone number. The question stopped the others, each of the trio giving a defeated look. At that moment, the police officer returned and told them that they would start their questioning.

"You wanted to see me?" Arthur asked as he and Alastair entered the Mayor's office. After watching the news, Arthur wanted to see what was happening with the three arrested, but he also wanted to see what the mayor actually wanted. It was early in the morning, but it looked as if the mayor Ludwig Beilschmit had been at work for several hours already. His aide Feliciano simply glanced at them and whimpered slightly as he looked out the window towards the police station.

"Yes, thank you for seeing me Mr. Kirkland and…" Ludwig began as he greeted his guests.

"Alastair Kirkland. I was visiting my younger brother when I heard of this mess and became interested. Hope ye don't mind the intrusion," Alastair greeted Ludwig while shooting a glance to Feliciano.

"You talk kind of weird. And you look a lot more ready for a fight," Feliciano commented as he looked the guests over.

"While Arthur grew up here I spent most of my time in Scotland learning to use my magic to help with fights," Alastair answered cockily as he ignored Ludwig and Arthur's looks in favor of watching Feliciano's.

"What do you need magic to fight?" Feliciano asked curiously.

"Demons, vampires...werewolves. Pretty much anything that's causing a threat to humans," Felicano paled as Alastair said this.

The aide gave another whimper to this then replied, "My brothers and I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"We know Feli. And I suppose the fact that you're here instead of with the others means that the police have not felt up to taking the Mayor's aide from him," Arthur commented.

"True, though he almost seems to want to join them," Ludwig observed as he watched his friend stare out the window. He found it strange to see his ditzy friend intently wish to go to a police station where he would be arrested, but he could also understand it. Feliciano was always trying to be a good friend and sibling, and the idea that he was being protected while his family – his pack – suffered was getting to him.

"Why is this happening anyways? After all, if it was pressure from the public or something like that it would have made more sense for this to happen earlier," Arthur asked.

"I'm not sure why either, but I'm afraid that it may be because of this stupid election," Ludwig answered then continued, "From what I heard from the news, the person who decided to have the other two werewolves and their friend arrested for suspicion was my main opponent. It may simply be that he is trying to cause doubt in my campaign or some other petty reason but I do not think that is the case."

"Aye, I suppose news of the mayor allowing dangerous people to exist as his friends could make people talk about you; both bad and good for ye," Alastair agreed. He had to admit, however, that if the other werewolves were as pathetic-looking as the one in front of him then he did not know why anyone would be afraid.

He then looked over to Arthur, only to see his younger brother deep in thought. At last Arthur commented, "There have been…rumblings among some of the supernatural citizens. Talk of a lot of them packing up to leave. Mayor…who exactly is your opponent. I've heard about him sure, but I'm afraid I have not paid close enough attention to the election to even know his name."

"Prosecutor Ivan Bragsinski. Until only recently he was a nobody, but he must have high ambitions since he just recently decided to run for election," Ludwig answered. With this information, Arthur said he would look into more of what this man wanted. When Feliciano asked about his brothers, he simply said he would see what he could do.
