"Everything loaded?" Koos asked as the sun started setting "We need to be out as soon as the sun dies, i want the cover of darkness""All"s ready Koos" Frits said jumping into the Ratel.
"Piet?"
"Already in"
Koos saw Guinevere stare at the big vehicle, then looked at him "You cant keep a low profile in this fokkin thing!"
"Watch us sussa, get in"
She shrugged climbing up. Koos hopped into his turret seat, Frits at his computer station, and Piet at the steering wheel, Guinevere found a bench seat and sat down. When Piet started it up Guinevere could here there was abnormality about it, it had a deep bellow, there was multiple hisses, and a whaling wine of something else. Expecting it to be slow, Guinevere didn"t even buckle up, but when Piet stomped the throttle, she got shot all the way to the back turret compartment, Koos and Frits laughed seeing her face as she came back and strapped in. Piet was hard on the accelerator, the Ratel roared and wined, sliding on the gravel roads in the corners.
"How long till we reach Bloem Frits?"
"At max speed about seven hours without interruptions"
"Good, maybe we can even go a little further if there"s still darkness"

Derrick was in his school clothes already making breakfast, the sun wasn"t up yet and he enjoyed walking in the early coolness.
He checked his watch as he finished eating, the girls weren"t up yet, maybe they go to school at a later time? He didn"t care, Luna can quickly take them with her car. He wrote the adress of Michael"s office on a paper, left a spare set of keys on top of it in the middle of the kitchen table then left for school.
The closing of the front door had Kara awake, she got up and looked around, Derrick"s room was empty, and he aswell was gone. Kara ran to the spare room where Sasha and Luna slept then woke them.
"We over slept!"
"What!?" Sasha flew up, Luna checked her watch.
"Its half past five in the morning!" She yelled at the two.
"But Derrick already left!" Kara said dressing in the green shirt and green dress she got yesterday at the school, Sasha was also dressing, but her matrix shirt was white. Luna groaned and got up.
"You"re seriously going to school now?" She asked wiping her eyes.
"Come on ma! I don"t want to look like a lazy bones infront of that a.s.shole!" Kara yelled.
"Fine fine, come" Luna yawned "Let me take you quick"
The three drove the direction Derrick showed them yesterday, and just before they reached Willem botha road, they saw him walking on the sidewalk.
"There he is, lets pick him up" Sasha said.
"No, we climb out with him, mother needs to be at an interview" Kara said.
"But theres still loads of time!" Sasha scolded.
"You don"t know how the traffic works here! It might be worse here than in Stellenbosch" Kara said, Sasha looked at Luna"s tired face, she smiled slightly.
"Kara"s got a point, let"s not risk it"
They pa.s.sed Derrick and pulled over, the two girls climbed out and Luna left back to the house.
Derrick felt a slight twitch, secretly he didn"t want to walk with them, he enjoyed his quiet walks to school, but he wasn"t at all disappointed, Kara had a very nice set of legs in that short school dress, Sasha aswell, he smiled as he walked up to them.
"I hope it"s not because i woke you that you are here now?" He asked, only Sasha smiled.
"Nah, we were awake already"
He looked at Kara, she didnt have her angry face on, but neither was she friendly "And you?"
"I don"t want to walk into a new school without atleast someone who knows the place" She made an excuse.
"Ok, if you say so" he said and continued walking with the two next to him on each side, he started feeling uncomfortable, knowing this will further effect his reputation at school, he wasn"t very popular, not with the boys or girls, but one things for sure, he never kept his mouth shut, and would always get into a fight. He thanked his father for graciously sponsoring school trips and camps for the time he still needed to go to school, otherwise he would have been expelled by now.
"So, you have any friends at school?" Sasha asked.
"Yeah, my friends are a guy named Chane, Sylvester, and a girl named Cate"
"She your girlfriend?"
Derrick laughed "No, shes Sylvester"s girl, but she"s very quirky you"ll enjoy her, trust me"
Derrick hoped he could lead the two into the school towards the reception without any of his pests seeing him, he knew they would come and push him around if they saw him walking in with two beauties like Kara and Sasha. As they entered the gates he scanned, it was still quiet, only a few people were there already, luckily none of the trouble makers. They reached reception and he turned to them "Ok, they open at seven, so... Im going to place my bags down then come back ok?"
"Were in uniform you know? You can show us around" Kara said, hearing he was lying, he was going to leave them there.
"Welll, i guess..." He looked around uncertain.
"Whats wrong?" Sasha asked.
"Ill tell you something, i don"t have a very good reputation here at this school, and if those a.s.sholes who like to start s.h.i.t with me see me with you two pretty things... Well, lets just say jealousy makes you nasty"
Kara laughed "If they have a problem with us being with you then f.u.c.k them, lets go" She walked on.
"Its this way" Derrick said and she turned around embarra.s.sed.

Luna got to the adress Derrick gave her and checked the time, she had ten minutes to spare so she climbed out and headed in. Inside a receptionist smiled at her.
"Hi, im Luna, and im here to see Elsje?"

"Yes, please step this way" She replied and led Luna down the hallway, it was a very neat office place, posters of oilrigs, gas stations the lot, it seemed Michael and Dianne really have done well for them selves. They entered an office and the receptionist gestured to a chair "Elsje will be with you shortly"
"Thankyou"
Luna didn"t wait long before Elsje stepped in, Luna immediately noticed ahe was a wolf.
"Amarok Luna, what a surprise?"
"I knew I"d meet some of Michael"s pack here" Luna replied.
"Of course" Elsje sat down "I dont really have a position for you, but in respect for Derrick"s request i have made some calls for you to go see someone who does have work for you" Elsje said.
"Who"s that?"
"His name is Maxwell, hes a business partner"
Luna nodded "Thankyou then"
"Now before you go see him, i need to talk to you about Derrick" Elsje sat back, there was concern on her face.
"You know how an amarok is a special wolf right? So special in fact, that if you put a born amarok inside a human family, he will never awake?"
"Yes, ive heard of that" Luna said, semi insulted to hear an alpha tell her this.
"Now, Michael wanted Derrick to remain human, because he was afraid Derrick might be too much of a wolf for himself to even handle, you see, Derrick showed signs of the wolf at five"
"Five!?"
The earlier a born wolf shows signs of his or her wolf side, the stronger the wolf will be, If Derrick was five on his first signs, he will be a monster, even more of a monster than Michael was.
"So, as you know, put an amarok in a clan of wolves, and h.e.l.l awake normally, but with humans h.e.l.l grow up, grow old, and die, never knowing he was a werewolf"
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because Michael wanted this for Derrick"
Luna felt a sligt sense of unwellness in this story.
"What do you mean, Michael wanted this for Derrick? Why not say, this is what Michael wants for him? You speak like Michael is gone?"
Elsje bit her nail, then leaned forward "No matter what Derrick told you about his parents, you stick with his story, but the truth is, they were killed"
