“What tracker?” asked Alex.
“Yeah,” Sawyer said, looking pointedly at Glenn. “No one told us about any tracker.”
“Hey, can you all just shut the blank up so I can explain what the blanking blank is going on?” asked Dylon.
“This ought to be good,” muttered Sawyer.
“There was a lot going on,” Glenn mumbled.
“Zip it, both of you,” Dylon growled.
“We’ll be quiet, won’t we Tiger mate and Wolf mate?” asked Alex. After getting nods from both of his mates, he turned his attention back to Dylon. “Okay, we’re ready…wait a minute, I don’t know your code name.”
“I don’t need one,” Dylon said.
“Of course you do!” exclaimed Alex. “We all have code names…I’m Delicious Surprise…isn’t that just so perfect? Smokey picked it, but Snow White…that’s Tiger mate’s code name cuz he’s a white tiger…didn’t like it at first, but he does now. And Wolf mate’s code name is Nighteye, and Smokey’s is Smokey cuz he’s a bear. So you have to have one.”
Dylon’s eyes settled on Glenn. “Snow White? A blanking Disney Princess?”
“I know!” Alex grinned. “I thought so, too, at first, but then I found out it was because of his tiger.”
Giving Dylon his death stare, Glenn growled, “You got a problem with my code name?”
Smirking, Dylon said, “Nope…not at all…Snow White.”
“Oh goody, we’re using our code names now,” Alex said. “But I still don’t know yours.”
“I have one he can use,” growled Glenn, smirking.
“Don’t you dare!” warned Dylon.
“How about Hercules?” Sawyer said, quickly.
“Oh! I like that!” Alex exclaimed. “And it goes along with your abilities, so that’s perfect.”
“What abilities?” asked Smokey.
Frowning at Dylon, Glenn asked, “You haven’t told him yet?”
“I can’t,” Dylon snapped. “Only Jackson can.”
“Tell me what?”
“He has the power of Hercules,” Alex explained.
“Alex! You can’t tell Smokey that!” Sawyer exclaimed.
“Why not?” Alex asked, frowning. “He’s Theo and Norm’s mate so that makes him a member of the Blackwood Pack…doesn’t it?”
“You never told me you met your mates!” Glenn said, scowling at Smokey.
“How could I? You were ‘incommunicado’…remember?”
“For the gods’ sake! Can you all stop?” Dylon growled. “Smokey hasn’t been told anything because he was busy taking out Josiah, and believe it or not, that was more important than Jackson telling him about his pack. Glenn and Sawyer were helping Remy and Carson in the Mystic Realm and that’s why no one could reach them. If he hasn’t already, Jackson will talk to Smokey about my abilities along with the rest. Now that I’ve caught everyone up, can we please move on.”
“Sure Hercules, lay it on me,” Alex replied, smiling.
Rolling his eyes, Dylon said, “It appears we have a much bigger problem with humans than it first appeared.”
