Anya asks for the third times, "Are you sure he's here? Adam isn't too fond of historical site."
"Positive. He just uploaded his Facebook with a picture of him in Bath."
Anya smiles and teases, "Stalking him through social media? You're no different than normal folks, Holmes."
Holmes shrugs his shoulders. His instincts told him Adam is here. He hates to contact Lestrade again. Helping him with his career isn't his goal in life. There are many diligent police officers deserve a raise. Not Lestrade. The most lazy one in the force.
He smiles when he asks, "Are you hungry?"
"A little bit. Why?"
"I know a perfect place that serves tasty buns. Adam would also be there."
Adam just posted this pic in his Facebook page. People should be careful what they posted online.
Holmes knows a family who went on short vacation once. All of the members posted pics about their wonderful travel. Robbers infiltrated their empty house easily.
It's like posting online, "Hey, my house is empty. The whole family went on vacation. Feel free to drop by anytime."
Bingo!
There he is.
Adam is eating lunch with an older guy. The same guy Holmes has seen near Stonehenge. The one with this powerful aura saying I'm the Boss.
They never have enough time to eat their tasty buns. Those guys are leaving right now.
Holmes tosses some money to pay their bills. He grabs his bun and follows them. Eating bun while walking. Anya does the same although she seems a bit upset leaving her foods behind.
Adam is talking to the other guy with great respect.
A woman suddenly blocks their path.
Irene asks, "What's the meaning of this, Rudolf?"
She crumples the postcard and then throws it to him. The crumpled paper ball hits the man's chest precisely.
Rudolf grins and then he mocks, "We just missed our Luna. It's time for you to go home."
"Nay. My ties with the pack is over when Eric died."
Rudolf threatens, "Your place is with us. You better come home with us."
He whistles and few beefy guys show up. Ready to take her away by force.
A man suddenly walks out from a nearby alley. He warns, "I don't want to shoot anyone. Back off from her."
John Watson flashes the gun in his hand.
Rudolf asks, "Who is he? New boyfriend? You forgot Eric that easily, wench?"
"No, Rudolf. He is just a friend."
Rudolf sniffs the air.
Then he says, "You're just like us. Surrender her, we will gladly accept you in our pact."
John suddenly suffers great headache. His head is killing him right now.
Irene yells, "He's using his power as an Alpha to conquer you! Fight him, John!"
John groans when his head felt being sting with thousand invisible needles. His gun falls from his hand.
Irene yells, "Stop it! Don't hurt him!"
A man is casually walking and whistling as if he's having a stroll in the park. Not walking through dangerous men.
He almost reaches the gun on the floor when a beefy guy stops him.
A knee strikes his opponent stomach, followed with grappling act. Holmes' opponent is down in 5 second. Everything happened so fast, the others could barely understand what happened.
Another guy tries to ram him down. Holmes takes him down easily like the guy before him.
Irene gasps. Holmes doesn't look like a good fighter at all. He's always full of surprises.
The detective brushes away some dusts from his pants. He grabs the gun from the ground.
He spent a year in a dojo learning Krav Maga, Sambo and Brazilian Jiujitsu out of boredom. It seems his hard work paid off somehow. Boredom sometimes could save a man's life.
John is still paralyzed behind Holmes' back. Groaning on the ground.
Holmes points a gun to Rudolf and he warns, "Pull back your men. Or you shall have a fancy hole in your head."
His goons are encircling closer and closer to him.
The gun is fired, the bullet misses few inches away from Rudolf's head. John gasps for air. His headache is gone. Holmes has broken the Alpha's power on him.
"Next time I won't miss," warns Holmes.
Rudolf growls before he calls, "Let's go, guys."
Holmes orders, "Adam, you stay put. Your sister wants you to go home."
Adam looks shocked. He protests, "I don't have any sibling!"
Holmes grins and then says, "I know it. How many more lies, Anya?"
The woman walks toward him and puts a hand on his arm. She smiles to him but she doesn't reply him at all.
Irene feels she could punch her any moment now.
"That's my mate! Stay away from him!"
That's what she wants to scream out loud right now. But declaring it would only make Holmes as Rudolf's target.
The mate you rejected. Now he chose another woman.
Irene silences her conscience. She doesn't need another mate. Losing her mate made her died inside. She doesn't want to feel it again.
Holmes orders, "Irene, help John. Adam, you are coming with us."
Adam protests, "But I don't know you!"
The gun is pointed to the teenager boy.
"Fine. I already hate you. Why not point a gun to me?"
Holmes orders, "Kid, help him."
Adam grumbles when he helps John to walk. Irene follows behind them. Anya is leading the way right now.
Rudolf warns, "I won't forget this."
Holmes mocks, "They always said I'm worthy to remember. Adios, Amigos."
He is whistling a merry tune when he leaves that spot. The others have escaped safely from the local gang.
(Rudolf, the Alpha)
One of his men asks, "What now?"
Rudolf orders, "Find them. Nobody mocks me in my turf."
"Yes, Rudolf."
Irene was his brother's mate. Eric died for her. It's time for Luna to come back home. To where she belongs.
*****
Holmes points a finger to Anya and orders, "Explain!"
Anya rises her hands as a sign of giving up. She stares to Adam and the boy stares angrily to her.
She explains, "Adam is my boss step son. His father ordered me to track him down."
Adam protests, "He hates me! It's better for me to leave home!"
Anya says sadly, "Your mom has been hospitalized after you're gone. Don't you care for her?"
Adam looks shocked.
Irene and John stare each others. They both know Adam is a young werewolf looking for a decent pack. It's natural for them to join a pack. Without one, a young werewolf would feel lonely and lost.
Holmes asks, "There's no cult?"
Anya says, "You see those guys. Rumors said they're cult members. If you could prove it, Holmes, I'll double the fees."
"Not interested."
Anya touches his arm before she whispers, "I'll give you extra bonus. I love what we did in bed."
Irene's sharp hearing senses could hear her voice easily. John could hear it too. He holds her arm and shakes his head. Murdering her wouldn't be a good idea.
Holmes pushes her hand away before saying, "Not interested. It's a mistake earlier."
Anya looks greatly disappointed. She really likes him a lot. Probably the only guy who caught her interest after the professor.
"Okay, you know where to find me. I just have to take him home. Boss' order."
She blows a distance kiss before Adam and her leaves the spot.
Holmes turns to face them. He orders, "You two got some explanations to do."
John and Irene stare each others. They couldn't tell him they are werewolves.
Finally Irene sighs and then confesses, "That's true. I'm, no, used to be a cult member. But I left them after Eric died."
