Bren lets go of Kibo walking over placing a paw on Thaddeus’s leg. He really

 didn’t know what to tell him. Just seeing the painful expression Thaddeus

 made while laughing hurt his soul. 

“Calm down. First put this back on and hopefully you didn’t breathe enough

 to make it lasting.” 

Thaddeus takes the mask putting it on but still laughs, almost laughing even

 more now.

 “Great so now I got two crazy people instead of one.” 

Bren looks at Kibo who is playing with the curtains. She was smacking at it 

like a small kitten. He walks from the room making sure to leave it locked. 

Now he needed to find where they sold the anti-toxins for the pheromones.

 Walking from the building he thinks back to everything that has happened in

 the last few months. How was Lain dealing with everything that was going

 on with her right now? Would they really be able to help her or just get in

 the way? He knew that no matter what that their bond wouldn’t be broken

 by time or space.

Bren walks through the streets just trying to figure out what he was actually

 looking for. Thaddeus had never told him where the place to buy the stuff

 was located. He stops when a woman walks over leaning down petting his

 head. 

“Aren’t you a cute little fur-ball.”

Bren takes a deep breathe trying not to want to growl at the woman. He pulls

 back only to have her grab his fur. 

“Now who said you are allowed to leave yet little one. I am here to give you

 a message from the elder.”

 Bren slashes at the woman only to tear her dress slightly. The woman looked

 to her dress with an annoyed face. 

“Was that really called for? The elder wants you to know she will find your

 precious wolf no matter what. She said to be prepared.”

 She jumps back taking off into a run soon to vanish. Bren sat there for a 

moment annoyed. He snaps back to reality when a drunken person trips into

 him. They started to pet his fur just nuzzling into it.

Bren gets up looking down to the person. They seemed like someone who

 lived in this place for a long time.

 “Where do you buy anti-toxins in this place?” 

The person smiled as standing up almost falling back down. 

“Let me take you. The lady who sells them can be a little touchy.”

 Bren raised a brow at the person. They lead him to the other side of the city 

to a small shop. The owner tackled his guide. Bren noticed that the owners

 hand had slid down their guides pants. 

“Um...excuse me we are here to buy the anti-toxins.”

 The shop owner pulled back smiling.

 “Okay dear how much do you need?”

 Bren got enough for all three of them. He thought it best just in case to take

 some himself. His guide waved as the owner of the shop started to pull him 

into the back of the store. 

“This place is just too fucked up.” 

Letting out a sigh he took off into a run. The quicker the medicine was

 administered the better.

When he arrived back to the room Kibo was sitting on Thaddeus’s head. This

 wasn’t even the weirdest thing that has happened so time to ignore it. 

“Take the damn meds both of you.” 

Thaddeus looked to Bren then started to laugh.

 “Wow you are a speedy little fur ball when you want to be.”

 Kibo jumped down starting to run around, she didn’t want to take the meds. 

Bren had enough of this place so he pounced on her. Kibo tried biting at his 

paws only to spit out some fur.

 “Yucky!.”

 Bren couldn’t help but laugh as he took the anti-toxins pouring it down her

 throat. Soon as he finished he placed her mask on. There was no way in hell

 Bren planned on letting her get re-infected. Thaddeus was very simple to 

take his meds.

 “Thank god I didn’t have to pin you as well. I really didn’t want my hair all

 burned off.”

 Thaddeus started to crack up hard imagining a bald Bren in beast form. Bren

 took his meds getting a mask to put on himself.

 “Yeah..yeah laugh all you want. That would be a pain in the ass to be bald

 like this.” 

Kibo looked around after the anti-toxins took effect. She got up walking over

 to Bren hugging him.

They gathered all their things walking from the city. Bren was hesitant to tell 

of the woman who grabbed his fur. After a few moments he decided it was 

better to tell everyone. Thaddeus seemed to recognize the description of the

 woman. 

“She is one of Carson’s little errand boys. She tends to do anything told

 even if it would cost her own life. The fact you are still breathing means 

that my mother plans to taunt us.” 

Thaddeus patted Bren and Kibo on their heads.

 “Don’t worry we will find Lain before my mother.”

 Kibo jumps up into his arms smiling as noticing that Bren was shifting back

 to normal. Bren blushed some quickly putting on his clothing. Thaddeus 

couldn’t help but to laugh some at the fact that Kibo sensed the change 

before him.

Thaddeus took set their course for where Lain had been taken. He knew the 

which direction they went from one of Carson’s men who mumbled before 

leaving them. The thing that still had him wondering is was the raider really

 only after money? Kibo gently poked Thaddeus’s back. 

“What if we can’t find her?” 

Her voice was shaky just saying those words. It wasn’t something he wanted 

to admit as well, they had to find her.

 “It is alright, no matter how long it takes we will find her. Just don’t ever

 lose that faith.”

 He glanced back to her with a smile. Bren looked over from his bike smiling 

to her as well.
