“Help me! This crazy asshole tackled me to the ground and won’t let me up.”
“Is that so?” The security guard asked as he lowered his head toward me.
“He is wanted for terrorist crimes. He will be arrested by the FBI when they arrive.” I spoke calmly, not at all letting this large and beefy man think that he was intimidating me.
“How about you get up and let me deal with that man. I will take him to the security office.” The guard grabbed me by the arm and attempted to pull me to my feet.
I knew that I needed to stay put, so I just applied a little more tension to my muscles. I wasn’t heavy, but I wasn’t a wispy thin man either. I was a wolf, and that meant that I was strong and powerful. I was also part Fae, and there could be epic tales written about the unmoving Fae. We are an obstinate people, and it shows in our attitudes and strength. Consequently, the guard wasn’t able to move me any more than the man pinned to the ground had been able to.
The current situation was not at all to the guard’s liking. He narrowed his eyes and looked at me defiantly. He was angry that someone had dared to defy him and try to do his job at the same time. He definitely didn’t like me all that much.
“What the hell, boy? Why aren’t you moving when I pull you?”
“Because I don’t wish to be moved.” I looked up at him calmly. “I am sorry, Sir, but I am staying in this position until the police and FBI arrive. That is the order that was given to me by my cousin and the prince.” In truth, Reagan and I were related, however distantly. We shared the same blood of the Fae.
“Prince? What fucking prince?” The guard demanded of me, not believing a word that I was saying.
“The prince of the wolves and magic users. He is my cousin, and because I am half wolf, he is son to one of the sovereigns that guide my life.” I was just speaking the truth, but the guard wasn’t happy.
“Oh, so you’re one of those people.” The guard rolled his eyes. “Listen, I don’t care whether you people are here or not, but just because you aren’t human, doesn’t mean that you can do my job.”
“Again, I was not intending to do such a thing, but there simply wasn’t time to wait.” I told him as plainly as I could. “The situation was an emergency. And the proper authorities will be here soon. I can already hear their sirens in the distance.” I tilted my head as I heard them, but clearly the guard didn’t hear anything yet.
“Yeah, right.” The man shook his head. “Get off that kid, now.” He tried to move me again.
“No, I cannot do that.”
“Hey, look at that, I can hear the sirens now too.” This came from the man that had been silently filming the scene around us. He had been here from the beginning, but he hadn’t said much of anything, so I had let him fade into the background and ignored him. He had, however, been filming my entire encounter with the guard.
“What?” The guard said as he lifted his head.
“Hey, Beech was it, does anyone ever call you radar? You knew they were coming before we did.”
“No, they do not.” I answered him honestly, then I realized that he was just lightheartedly joking with me. “I am always around better radar machines though. Most of my friends are full blooded wolves, so they are true to that name.” I smiled. I knew that I was speaking awkwardly, but that was normal for me. I was always a little on the shy and awkward side.
“That’s funny. I think I like your sense of humor. Also, if you’re only half wolf, what is the other half?” He asked me, the camera of his phone pointed directly at me now.
“I am half Fae. My mother is a Fae, and my father is a wolf. I am a mixed breed, also called a hybrid. There are several hybrids like myself in the world, we do not mind the difference that it causes, because all life is precious and special.”
“That’s beautiful, man.” The camera guy smiled at me. “My name is Jared, it’s nice to meet you.”
“The feeling is mutual, Jared.” I nodded at him with a smile and felt a small jolt that coursed through me. This was the most socializing that I had done outside of the people that were in my typical inner circle, and it felt good. Really good.”
“Have you been filming this whole time?” The guard asked the guy, finally realizing that there was a phone in the man’s hand.
“Yeah. And I am not stopping until the cops make me leave. Considering that they are pulling in now, I am going to guess that it will be soon.”
I followed the camera man’s line of sight and saw that he was right. There were half a dozen vehicles speeding into the half filled parking lot as they started to skid to a halt. When the others had made their calls, they had told the authorities exactly where we were located, so they knew where to come right away.
This was a good thing. I wouldn’t need to keep holding this criminal to the ground any longer, and I definitely would not need to worry about the security guard and his anger any longer either.
I felt a surge of relief when I saw Rawlynne and Jackson coming up the sidewalk, followed quickly by Devon. I knew these people well, and had grown up with them as a part of my life. They were just the people that I wanted to see right now. And soon, when they finally got here, I would feel the same relief at seeing Aunt Riviana and Uncle Joaquin. Finally, things were going to be under control.

Luka and I were making our way toward the dormitory that had been indicated on the detonation device that the bomber had in his possession. We needed to get all of the bombs that he had placed in that building. I knew that we weren’t supposed to touch them, and that we should leave them in place, but I couldn’t do that. Not with the fact that there were so many people in the building at the time. I couldn’t let them get hurt like that. I needed to save them. I didn’t want a single person getting hurt today. Not because of that man’s hatred for me and my people.
There was a problem that I knew that we would be facing though. A problem that I knew was going to stop Luka and I from getting into the building right away. And that would cost us precious time that we didn’t have at the moment. And that problem presented itself in the form of a locked door that led into the building.
The moment that Luka and I made it to the dormitory, we both started to pound on the door and alert the staff that we needed their attention right away. A security that was on duty came over and opened the door, but he blocked our way inside, clearly unnerved by us already.
“Can I help you, boys?” There was annoyance and suspicion that filled the guard’s eyes.
“We need to get inside right now. And you need to evacuate the building.” I told him frantically.
“Excuse me?” He looked at me with narrowed eyes, clearly not willing to believe a word that I had to say.
…..
“There are several bombs in the building. The FBI and local police are on their way, but we need you to get out of here immediately.”
