Chapter Thirty-Nine
Broken Glass


Scott and Toni laid in bed until Scott slowly woke up. He glanced over at Toni before gently moving her arm and getting up. He walked down stairs and a minute later Toni walked up to him and grabbed his hand making him look at her.

"So, we're doing this?" Toni asked and Scott nodded while squeezing her hand, "Yeah, we are." He said and she sucked in a deep breath and nodded. "A lot of things could go wrong, you know that." She said and he smiled softly at her, "We got this." He said making her look at him in amusement.

"I envy your confidence sometimes." She said and he chuckled, "We're gonna do this and we're gonna win." Scott said with determination and Toni looked at him with a small smile before nodding and pulling him down into a kiss.

Scott and Toni walked into a shipyard full of large steel shipping containers and illuminated by large overhead lights. Unbeknownst to either of them, Deucalion was standing on one of the tallest stacks of containers, cane in hand.

Just as the two look at each other, Deucalion slams the tip of his cane onto the roof of the container causing a ripple of sound waves in their direction. Scott and Toni, hearing the sound as it moves in their direction, turn to find Deucalion staring down at them.

"Do either of you know the term for what I'm doing?" Deucalion asked and Scott nodded, "Echolocation." He said making Toni look at him impressed. "I see someone did their homework." She said and Scott shrugged slightly as he glanced at her, "I looked a few things up." He said.

"I know you think you can learn in just one day what took me years to master." Deucalion said and Toni shook her head slightly, "We were hoping for maybe a few highlights." She said and Scott nodded. "Or anything that can help us fight the Anuk-ite without looking at it." He said.

"Fighting blind is one thing- you haven't even learned to walk yet. An orientation in mobility training specialists has to practice blindfolded with a white cane for at least one hundred and twenty hours before becoming certified!" Deucalion said making Toni and Scott glance at each other, "I can't teach you to walk and fight in less than twenty-four." Deucalion said.

"Look, we know the odds are bad, but Gerard's got an army. There's a creature that can scare ordinary people into becoming killers." Scott said and Deucalion sighed, "A creature now capable of killing you with just a look. You saw them, didn't you?" He asked and Toni sighed.

"We saw people turned to stone." She said making Deucalion look at her, "So why aren't all of you running for your lives?" He asked and Scott almost looked offended. "Because we don't run!" He said making Deucalion and Toni smile proudly, "Now that sounds like an Alpha. Let's get started." Deucalion said.
