Chapter 825: Chapter 10- Reece – Meeting Part 2 (VOLUME 5)
~~
Reece
~~
The tension in my Little Bunny’s office was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. It was so stifling that it was almost hard to breathe. That was fine though. Let them be tense and worried about it. That would just mean that they would all end up trying their best.

“As I said before, I have three case files that have already been sent to us. The others are coming soon, but we can see what was discovered at the initial crime scene.” I finally sat back down in my seat next to my Little Bunny’s. I had been pacing the room with the files in my hand for several minutes now.
“Are we sure that the local police were able to gather the information that had been needed? Or the local Alphas? Who was it that initially investigated these crimes?” Dietrich seemed way more focused on this than I thought that he would be. Not that I thought he wouldn’t care or anything, but even when he was intent and focused, he usually had an aloof sort of air to him. Right now though, he was angry, determined, and clearly pissed off. Maybe he was just upset about it all, but maybe, just maybe, it was something else entirely.
“I am not sure, Dietrich.” I told him as I flipped open the first case file. “This is the first time that we are looking into the files. We called this meeting as soon as both Trinity and I knew about the murders. You are hearing about it all before we’ve looked into the files. Everything that you have heard came from the mouths of others.” I knew that some of them would find it odd that we didn’t look into it first, but there was no time to waste here. They could find out everything at the same time that Trinity and I did.
.....
“Well, there is one more thing that I know.” My Little Bunny looked up from the file that I had handed her and eyed them all individually before continuing. “The humans know about the murders. There was a news report this afternoon about the string of murders in Europe and Asia. They said they weren’t sure if it was one person or a group of people, but they seem to think that all of the murders are connected. That tells me that as we investigate further, we will likely find something that ties the murders together. If there is enough for the humans to think that they are related, then I am sure that we will see it once we start looking into things more thoroughly.”
Aside from Trinity, I was the only one that knew that the humans had been reporting on these murders. Well, except for maybe Juniper, but she didn’t know about the fact that they were all our people. So that meant that Noah, Shawn, Dietrich, Vincent, David and Gabriel all snapped their heads in my Little Bunny’s direction when they heard her words. They had not been expecting to find out that the humans knew about these deaths. And the fact that they were reporting on it on a global scale meant that there would be a lot of media attention for this case.
“We are going to have to be careful, aren’t we?” Shawn looked like he was not feeling very well at all.
“Yeah, if we’re not careful, the humans would start to wonder why two FBI agents and a bunch of random people from Colorado are poking their noses into this case. They might suspect us of one thing or another. At the very least, they will wonder why the mega billionaire, Reece Gray, and his lovely young wife Trinity, are so interested in finding the culprits behind these murders. Regardless of where this case takes us, we need to tread carefully.” Surprisingly, Shane’s words were completely devoid of humor or mirth. I never knew that he could be so serious. He managed it though. And on top of that, he was one hundred percent right. If the humans found out that we were investigating this case, they would question why we were involving ourselves.
We could just say that we were concerned and wanted to help the families of the victims get closure. However, doing that would leave us open for other people to contact us out of the blue and ask us for help. We would be seen as some sort of vigilantes that searched the world for answers to crimes that others had given up on or something. While I had no problem helping them all if I could, it was beyond me and my patience to do that for all of the people in the world.
Hmm. Perhaps that just means that I need to start yet another division of my company. I could have some people that I trust work on solving these cases that the police and other law enforcement agencies had given up on. That was the only way we could help them all. And it would also give us a nice cover story. It was definitely worth looking into. I might have to call a friend of ours. Someone we knew but hadn’t talked to in a long time. I am pretty sure that Jacy and her husband Kyle could handle this. Not to mention their friends. It was basically what they did anyway.
“What is in the file, Trinity?” Noah asked as he saw his sister looking over the information in her hand. I hadn’t even really looked into the file that was in my hands. I had been focusing on the other information. Thankfully, though, Trinity and Noah were moving us along. They were going to keep us focused.
“This is the first of the files that I am looking at. Like Reece said earlier, there will be eighteen in total when we get the rest of them. This one has a copy of the local police report as well as a report by the local Alpha and leader of the local Coven. They all seemed to give their insights to what was going on. This murder took place in a small village in Wales. The village was named Gwyn Gough and it is not far from the city of Wrexham. The police there were the ones that responded to the scene and assisted the locals.”
I could see that Trinity was trying to not let the details and images in that file affect her. She was always so empathetic that she took things like this personally. I worried about her and the things that were going to be happening soon.
“The victim, twenty-two year old Niclas Moss, was found on the outskirts of the town. There is a collection of stones that the villagers use as a religious site. The village is predominantly wolves, of which the victim was a wolf as well. The body was found by a human named Mair Gethin. She was taking an early morning walk when she saw the body posed among the stones. There was blood splattered on the grass, stones, and nearby trees. The victim had their throat cut and their heart removed. There were also two different markings that were carved into the body. One was on the chest next to the hole where the heart had been, the other was on the forehead.”
“What were the symbols?” David’s voice was steady and even, but I could tell that he had felt some sort of anger and fear mixed together while my Little Bunny read the details from the report.
“The one on the forehead looks like a peace symbol without the circle. The one on the chest is a set of three interlocking triangles. It is too close to the Trinity symbol for my liking.” I could tell that she wasn’t happy with the details in that case file.
“Can I see those symbols?” Dietrich was on his feet and reaching for the file before Trinity had even answered him.
“Yeah. Here.” My Little Bunny passed the folder to him without looking at him.
“Do they mean something to you?” I felt like there was something different about the way that he responded to the description of those markings.
“Yes. I think I know what they are. And if I am right, then this definitely isn’t good.”
Dietrich flipped the file open and started to look at the pictures that were inside of it. He was looking at the image intently. I could tell that he was trying to prove himself wrong more than he was trying to prove that he was right.
“What do they mean, Dietrich?” Trinity asked him when he sighed and sank back into his chair.
“The one on his forehead is a Todes Rune. It means death. The other one, the three triangles, is the Valknut Rune. It is basically a protection against the spirits. Using these together like this would be like trapping the spirit of the dead inside their body.” There was anger in his voice and in his eyes.
“Where are these runes from, Dietrich?” I had to ask. I had to know, and so did my Little Bunny.
“They’re old Germanic runes. They have their origins in Scandinavian and Norse mythologies. If the group that is committing these murders is using these runes, then it is safe to say that they are from somewhere in Europe. Particularly from the areas that I am very familiar with.” When Dietrich looked up from the papers in his hands, I saw that his eyes had gone even more white than usual. They were showing how angry he was at the moment. If he were human, he would probably be shaking in his rage.
