They experiment on us.
They give us medication that hurts us.
They’ve tried to do things like administer “healing” medication, but the truth is that they want our blood. Dragon blood has a lot of healing properties in it, and the black market price of a dragon is through the damn roof.
“That’s why we’re going to release a video at the same time that shows just exactly what this company has been doing to shifters of all kinds,” she says.
“How did we get the footage?”
“I went and met with the director of Providential yesterday,” Marta says. “Thanks to Nicole’s insider knowledge, she’s been low-key communicating with them via a burner phone one of their agents left behind.”
“Bernie.”
“Yep,” Nicole agrees. “When Bernie was...killed...unfortunately...we managed to salvage a burner phone. We didn’t know if it had any tracking devices on it or whether it was bugged, so I used it to text Providential/Lucky as her. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve managed to gather a lot of information from it. We were able to use that info to get Marta a meeting with Erin Allison, who is the woman behind it all.”
In other words, the most evil woman in the universe.
“I haven’t seen you since the meeting,” I say to Marta. “Can you fill us in?”
“Oh, absolutely,” she says. “But why don’t you watch my video first?”
“Um, okay.”
She opens a laptop and presses a couple of keys. Suddenly, a short film begins to play. Watching it makes me feel sick, but that’s probably a good thing since it means that this is going to work. Using this as a way to drum up human support for the dragon shifters of the world just might work.
It was during Marta’s meeting that she got most of the footage. She was able to stealthily acquire a lot of information from just one short visit. That, coupled with the things we already knew about the company, means that her video is both straight-to-the-point and totally damning.
I’m still not completely sold on absolutely obliterating the Lucky and Providential offices entirely, but we’re going to do it at night, so that nobody will get hurt.
We’re going to destroy their building, so they’ll have no choice but to stay away from our little group of shifters.
And we’re going to have Clan Thunderstorm by our side.
Thunderstorm has been an incredibly valuable asset in this. They’ve fought by our side before and we’ve fought by theirs. Together, we’ve been sharing information and learning about Lucky for years. They’ve been just as affected by all of this as we have and now that it’s finally all about to come to a head, I’m feeling both nervous and relieved.
I’m nervous because attacks like this never go according to plan. We finally know where the base of operations is for Lucky. We finally know they’re hidden behind the pharmaceutical company Providential. For a long time, we didn’t know where they were located or where their base was. Now we know, but now we also have so much more to lose.
I think about Sabrina and Reece cuddled up back home. I think about happy I am to have them both in my life. I think about everything I risk losing if this all goes wrong.
I think about them, and I close my eyes for just a moment.
“Are you okay?” Cameron asks, placing his hand on my shoulder.
“Yeah,” I whisper.
“Look,” he says. “You can stay behind if you need to.”
“I don’t.”
“Nobody will judge you,” Lawrence says. “Just let us know if you need to sit this one out, man. We’ve got plenty of people.”
“But you only have one leader,” I say. Now that we have the floor plans for the building, we know which areas are weak and where we can attack first. We know what steps we need to take to burn it all to the ground. We know all of this.
And we can do it.
It’s time for this evil company to stop hiding behind the guise of being strong, behind the guise of being good for shifters.
Their reign of terror is over now.
