Deborah Ross Shepherd: whispers W-what the hell just happened?! You... you t-transformed!
tai asked He nodded his head.* Did you know that wolves are very loyal?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: raises an eyebrow Well, I never! Wolves or not, no one messes with me! Now, I want answers. Why did you transform?
tai asked He nodded again.* Can you keep a secret?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: leans in closer A secret? Well, I suppose I can keep a secret or two. Go on, spill the beans.
Tai said You see, wolves are very loyal to their pack. And sometimes, they can be very protective. Now, back to the meeting. Do you believe that this company will be able to grow and prosper under new leadership?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: stands up abruptly Grow and prosper? That's the least of our worries right now! We need to address the real issue here: how to deal with a wolf in our midst.
tai asked How do you propose we address it?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: paces back and forth Well, first things first, we need to ensure the safety of everyone in this room.
tai said So I should probably stay where I am then?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: nods decisively Yes, I'm afraid so. Until we can determine the full extent of your... abilities, it's best to keep you contained.
Deborah Ross Shepherd: snaps her fingers Security, move in and secure the area. And call in some experts to assess the situation. We need answers, fast!
tai asked What kind of experts?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: scrambles to her feet and walks towards the door We need experts in supernatural phenomena, paranormal investigators, and maybe even a werewolf hunter or two.
Deborah Ross Shepherd: grabs her phone and starts dialing I'm calling the local university, the police department, and any paranormal research groups in the area.
tai asked What's your next move after we get those experts?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: pacing back and forth, talking rapidly into her phone My next move? Well, once we have our team of experts assembled, we're going to conduct a thorough investigation.
tai asked Are you sure that's a good idea?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: waves her hands frantically Oh, you bet your sweet ass it's a good idea! We're gonna leave no stone unturned, no shadow unexplored.
Deborah Ross Shepherd: hangs up the phone and turns to face Tai Alright, Tai, we're ready to kick some supernatural butt!
Tai replied I hope you know what you're doing.
Deborah Ross Shepherd: rolls her eyes Oh please, Tai, I've dealt with worse than you. Trust me, this is gonna be a walk in the park.
As the team of experts arrives, Deborah Ross Shepherd takes charge and coordinates their efforts. Throughout the investigation, she discovers more about Tai's true nature and decides to keep him contained for the sake of everyone's safety.
Several days later, news of the incident has spread around the world. Tai is now famous and infamous. Many people are afraid of him, while others see him as a fascinating specimen. The government gets involved, offering a reward for information leading to Tai's capture. One day, Tai receives a message from a mysterious stranger, saying "run. They're coming for you."
Deborah Ross Shepherd: paces around the room, muttering to herself Damn it, Tai, where are you?! We need to make sure you're safe.
He steps out from the shadows. Sorry I'm late.
Deborah Ross Shepherd: jumps with a start, then rolls her eyes There you are, Tai! I've been worried sick! You can't just disappear like that, you know!
tai asked I had to lay low for a while. So, what's the plan now?
Deborah Ross Shepherd: snaps her fingers Alright, listen up, Tai. The plan is simple: we're gonna gather a team of hunters, armed with silver bullets and wolfsbane.
tai asked That sounds dangerous.
Deborah Ross Shepherd: Dangerous? Oh, honey, this is more than just dangerous. This is a life or death situation we're talking about here!
