"Could this be why I saw her in my dreams last night, is she really in some sort of trouble?," He asked himself.
"The man in my dreams called her the love of my life, which is not true. Mr Michigan does not even know I know her so his threat about hurting Someone I care about cannot be to her, ohh my head hurts from all of these," he said to himself as he sat down on the chair tired from calculating.
"I hope Brian brings a positive report, moreover I need to find Jocelyn and know my connection to her," he spoke but stopped as he noticed his claws coming out from where his fingers use to be, he turned to his table mirror and saw his fangs out and he could not understand why.
"I need to be calm, it seems I'm overthinking and my wolf form cannot take it any longer, oh I need a drink," he spoke finally as he stood up and drank a glass of red wine, he felt himself returning to normal after calming down. He looked at his hands and noticed his claws had disappeared, he also looked at the mirror and saw his sparkling teeth with no trace of his fangs and he heaved a deep sign.

Brian walked into an abandoned basement. He was friends with their leader and he would always provide him with any information that he wanted.
"Hey Brian, how may I be of help to you today?,' Drogba, the head of the bulls underground group said immediately he saw him.
"Hey Drogba, I really need your help and I need it urgently," Brian replied with a serious face.
"Okay speak up, I'm all ears," Drogba said in anticipation of his words.
"I need all the information we can get on a reporter.I do not know who she is but I know she is the main target of the Michigans now," Brian replied and the others moved in fear just by hearing him call the Michigans.
"The Michigans are the worst, once you become their target, you are as good as gone and no one can save you from them. I know the reporter that you are talking about. Her name is Jocelyn Lance and she is very popular in reporting and exposing corrupt businesses and their owners. She started focusing on the Michigans recently and I assure you, it will not end well for her," Drogba said as Brian watched him in wonder.
"Wow, such a resilient woman. Do you by chance have a picture of her?," Brian asked as he remembered his boss' demand.
"Of course I do, I have one just here," Drogba replied as he brought out a picture of Jocelyn from his desk.
"She is really beautiful," Brian said as he collected the picture from him.
"Yes Brian, she is beautiful so it will be a shame to see her life wasted by the Michigans," Drogba answered in pity.
"No one has to die, big D. We just need to find a solution to this," Brian replied as he tried to think of a way.
"No matter what you do, it will end badly. Jocelyn Lance lives for reporting people like the Michigans and I doubt she will stop even as she knows her life is at risk and the Michigans will not let her live long because of that,"Drogba explained and Brian became more worried.
"So you are saying, there is absolutely nothing we can do to help stop this," Brian asked, hoping for a positive reply but Drogba nodded in the opposite.
"There is absolutely nothing you can do Brian, I suggest you remove yourself from this and stop investigating it. If the Michigans find out that you are putting your hands in your business, they will not take it lightly with you and I am sure you do not want problems for your boss," Drogba advised as Brian continued to stare at him in bewilderment.
"They will never even think of messing with my boss. Derek Walker is the most respected and feared man in the whole of the coast and the Michigans do not have a say on him," Brian bragged as he heard Drogba's words.
"The Michigans are dirty pigs, they are not scared of putting their hands in dirt just to hurt their opponent and we both know that your boss never does anything illegal, so the Michigans will bring nothing but trouble to him, so advise him to stay on his lane and mind his business,"Drogba said as he took a sip from his drink.
"My boss is not scared of them and they will not bother messing with him, so do not worry about us big D. I really appreciate everything you have done for me today," Brian said as he stood up to take his leave.
"We should go out for a drink sometime ,it has been really long Brian," Drogba replied as he stretched out his arm for a handshake.
"Of course big D, I have been very busy at work. It is not easy to be an assistant to the great Derek Walker you know. It requires a lot of energy and time," Brian replied, returning his handshake.
"I hope we see again," Drogba said as he watched Brian leave the room.
" We will surely see again big D, I promise you that and the drinks will be on me," Brian replied as he walked out of the room with a smile. He paused outside and began to observe the file he was holding.
"Why is my boss so interested in knowing who this reporter is? I hope he does not try to intervene in their business. I do not want anything that will affect our business, I know he has always chosen his business over everything else so he will not less this affect our deal, anyway she is really very beautiful. Such a waste of beauty," Brian muttered silently to himself as he took her pictures and placed them back in the file before walking away from that environment.
