Tattooed Luna

Colt POV “We can do that. One suite per side of the building.” Carson was counting the men that will be in our group.

“Where am | going to be?” Alec's voice cup behind me.

Standing up, | looked at him with a blank expression. “You don’t have to do this.” “You are my brother. I'm going. Don't argue and tellwhere you need me.” He held his hand out for me.

Looking at it for a second, my hand wrapped around his and he pulledinto a half hug. “Forever.” “Thanks, man.” “You will be helping with the train takedown.” Carson trailed off as he looked for Hank.

“I think we actually have it handled.” Hank walked up behind Carson as we started talking. “I have my gamma withand he is beyond capable. Alec would be more useful at the Casino getting Penny back. He knows his men and I'm not expecting too any issues with the train anyway.” “Are you sure? | am willing to do whatever you guys needto.” Alec looked concern at this.

“Positive. We are going to derail the train so it will be pretty easy to tackle that. The most important thing is we have the gun power. If you have any high range or machine guns, | would take those. That will be helpful in taking down any of those mutants.” “We have that. Alec, show him the armory and let him pick out what he needs.” | nodded at his plan. It sounded like it would be easy enough. However, nothing about this was going to be easy.

“You know, we have all these plans but we haven't discussed what we are going to do about him actually making these mutants. We need to find his lab and level it.” Why this just dawned onwas a shock. How did no one else think of this? “I'm hoping it will be discovered when we raid all these buildings.” Carson sighed. “This is our own lead and truthfully, we don’t have any proof what we are looking for is even here. We could do all this and find nothing.” He wasn’t wrong but something was tellingwe were doing the right thing. It had to be. The alternative is unthinkable. If this was wrong, we literally had nothing.

“Colt, cexplain how this is going to work to the men.” Alec slapped my shoulder and motioned for us to cover to his men. They were currently looking at a copy of the casino blueprints.

“Letgrab my men too so we can be clear on it all.” Carson said before jogging off to another group of guys.

Alec got their attentions and had them make room. Getting on my knees, | made sure everyone could see me.

Once Carson showed up with his men, | got started.

With my finger, | pointed out the five men that | have more trust to cover my ass that wasn’t family. “You guys will have to find a way to get into the security room without raising suspicion or getting caught. Our entire operation depends on this.” “Do we know where it is located?” Blake asked.

“According to the blueprints, on the basement level. However, we went down the stairs when we have our meeting with Sir Joe so his office is down there as well. Not sure where exactly to be honest but it will be tricky.” Carson knelt down and traced a path with his finger. “This is what | am thinking would be the best way but when you get in there, you will have to use your best educated guess.” “Comforting.” Someone muttered but | didn’t blhim.

“After you guys get in there, you will have to guide us to find Penny. The rest of us are going in two groups and will clear one flgeekta 1540) You Wy beumeyed tnd our ears as we move through the building. Limit human life loss and | don't want our presence known until we have Penny in our possession. Even then, | would like to have her extracted by that time.” Carson was being firm with his directions.

Standing up, | made sure my voice was loud enough to get everyone's attentions. “Our timing needs to be perfect. We need to penetrate then casino first. Find Benayind-y to get J) bédbre shyone else

attacks. Only when we have her secured, can you move. If anyone moves too early, they could take her and run. There is an airport around there that we are unsure of. If they get her on a plane, we have lost her and my children forever. If that happens, | can guarantee no one will be making it hto their family.”

“What Alpha Colt is trying to say is mistakes will not be tolerated during this mission. This is easily the more important mission you have ever been apart of. The future of the werewolf race is being challenged right now. You all have fought these mutants. Their lack of CEES ae) human life will Gays @tissive de3tratibh Every movement needs to be precise and thought out. Every shot you take needs to be on the target. No mistakes. Not only will we save Luna Penny and their children but we will be ending Vin. Ending the production of the mutant wolves.

Ending the usage of innocent humans for experiments. Ending the auctioning of innocent women. You all have been selected because of your skills, your bravery and how reliable you are. Each alpha has confidence in your ability to achieve our goal and trust in every single one of you. Let's prove to everyone watching that we will not lay down and take this disrespect. Not even the mafia will keep us from doing what is right. Let's bow our heads and pray to the Moon Goddess for an easy victory!”

By the end of Carson's speech, everyone was fired up and ready to go to war. Bowing my head, three little faces flashed before my eyes.
