“No, he did choose the parks. The council simply tells each participating pack what is being looked for and Alpha Redmen sends the council and the pack’s representative a list of the participants he’s sending to the pack.”
He nods his head but it seems that my interruption has made it harder for him to get started again.
“Even though you and Cole started at the same time, you have gone to fewer packs and Cole said he never made it to that first run.” He nods again as he keeps his position.
“Yes sir. Even though we were going to different runs he never showed up for the bus.”
“Are you aware of why he didn’t show up?”
“Yes sir.” He whispers.
It’s bing obvious that telling his story is going to be more difficult than I anticipated.
“It is safe to talk to me Jamie.” I try to encourage gently.
He nods but remains silent for several minutes gathering his thoughts.
“Alpha Redmen moves all the prospects going to runs into the guest wing of the pack house a week before <b>we </b>leave. He runs several orientation sses while we’re there. It’s supposed to be for the ones new to the program but because we have so many wolves that can’t behave everyone goes…” He trails off for a moment struggling toplete his sentence. “except Cole.”
“Cole’s never been to orientation? That’s actually a mandate by the council that all outgoing prospects have to attend one
before their first run.”
He shakes his head as he speaks again.
“I’ve been to one every time a new run starts but he’s never gone once. Even though Alpha Redmen tries to be sneaky about it, he always tells everyone in the pack house that he’s looking for Cole. I happened toe across alpha grabbing Cole by the back of the neck and leading him away the day before we were scheduled to leave. I don’t know why but I decided to follow them from a distance. Cole was fighting alpha hard but he was too weak to break away from him. I watched silently as alpha pushed him down the hall. When he stopped in front of the door, he punched Cole in the gut <b>so </b>he could unlock it. Then he was forced back to his feet and pushed inside the pack house’s training room. The door shuts on its own and I didn’t think to try and get in there until I heard him yelp and scream.”
“It must have been hard to hear that knowing that your friend was the one in there.”
He nods his head silently. I can see the tears fall to the floor even though he’s yet to turn back towards me.
“It wouldn’t be easy to listen to anyone scream like that but knowing it was him….” I wait patiently for him to gather his thoughts and start again.
his <ol><li>y. ‘Stop </li></ol>
“I put my ear against the door when I discovered it was locked. I could hear the cracks of the belt agains! father’s cruelments every time he howled. I’ll never forget the way he called him weak and pathetic re your whimpering, no one wants to hear your pathetic cries. I heard something heavy drop to the floor about five minutes after I started hearing Cole yelp. Alpha kept talking but he wasn’t yelling anymore so I couldn’t make out what he said. <b>I </b>couldn’t hear what was happening after the thud. All I know is that I heard Cole start yelping again and itsted several
minutes before everything wentpletely silent. It was about five minutes between the thud and heating Alpha Redman approaching the door, I managed to hide in a nearby closet while I waited for alpha to leave the room. I noticed the belt that he held in his hand, the buckle was nearlypletely red with blood. He walked right by the slightly open closet door without a look in my direction before disappearing into his office. I waited five minutes once he was inside his office to make certain that he didn’t return to Cole. I left the closet when I was certain I could get to the room without <b>alphia </b>seeing me.”
