Chapter 852: Chapter 37- Trinity – Arriving In Australia (VOLUME 5)

~~

Trinity

~~

It had been a long day. Since we woke up earlier today and started to investigate in Wales, we have done a lot. We had investigated three different murder in Wales, one in Scotland, one in Ireland, and one in England. Now that we were done with all of that, it was time for us to be heading off to Sydney, Australia, where it was already the next day. However, it was still midday back home.

On top of what was going on with us all day, Talia was here with us, and she hadn’t gone to sleep since the day before. She had been awake longer than all of us and I knew that she had to be getting tired. She was hiding it well though. And she was still taking part in all of the investigations with us.

Not only was she helping us to find the clues and other evidence, but Talia was also releasing the souls from their bodies. She was using magic to do that. And that was exhausting her even more. She was going to end up crashing soon, if I wasn’t careful.

She had her guards with her though. I knew that if she got to that point, if she needed them to carry her or anything, that they would do it without even needing to be asked. They would take care of her, because she was their future goddess and they cared for her.

.....

When we arrived in Sydney, it was on the spur of the moment. I hadn’t called the man ahead of time, but he had been warned by Rawlynne that we were on our way. And we also had an image from his home. This would make it easier for me to direct where my door ended up. And thanks to that, I was able to walk through the door to the Alpha’s home.

We once again exited into the office of the local Alpha. This man’s name was Leon and he looked so much like my dad that I needed to do a double take. His hair color, eye color, and physical build were all the same. It was only the more squared jaw and broader shoulders that told me that he wasn’t his twin or something.

“Queen Trinity!” Leon seemed to have leapt from his chair when the door appeared just a second before I exited into his office. “This is so unexpected.”

“I am sorry for not preparing you, Leon, but we are working on a time frame here. We need to see the body of the most recent victim. After that, take me to the crime scene. We need to get the clues as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Queen Trinity, I understand.” He wasn’t fighting against me at all. He was agreeing to what I asked and already leaving the office with me.

“We need a place to stay tonight. We have been running since early morning in Wales. Yesterday for your time. We are going to need to sleep and eat soon.” At that, there was a rumbling from behind me. More than one really. Several of us were hungry and needed to eat. “As much as I would like to stop and eat now, we need to hurry. Has the autopsy been conducted yet?” I was walking briskly toward the door that he had gone toward.

“No. It is scheduled for ten this morning.” Leon looked confused. “Would you like to wait until it is completed?”

“No. We need to free the soul first. They need to be spared that pain.” It was clear that he didn’t understand what I was saying, but he just nodded and continued on his way.

“Very well. I will have lunch prepared for you. It will be ready when we return. And we will also prepare rooms for all of you. It is the least that we can do.” He was leading the way once again.

“Queen Trinity, I will assist in setting up the rooms for you all.” Telyn bowed and offered her services. “It is my job to take care of you all.” She had a point. That was why she had come along with us.

“Very well. Rudy, can you assist her?” I didn’t want to leave her alone since we didn’t know these wolves. However, I needed my guards to investigate with us. Rudy was the best option to leave with the young girl.

“Of course, Queen Trinity. I would be delighted to help her.” He smiled and stood next to the servant girl. After that, the rest of us left the office.

Leon was shouting to the men and women that were in the halls as he walked past them. They looked at him then at me. Every time they looked at me, their eyes would go wide in shock.

“Queen Trinity has arrived to help with the investigation. Prepare rooms for her and her entourage. Begin preparing lunch so that it will be ready for them when we return from the crime scene. And bring around the cars so that we may take them to see the body and where the murder took place.”

Everyone was frozen in place for a moment as they just watched all of us walk by. They were looking at all of us, all ten of us that were walking with Leon, and just seemed to be shell shocked. I knew that people found me intimidating and all that, but I never thought that they would literally just stand there frozen in place. Leon didn’t think about that either, since he was angry when he saw that they weren’t moving yet.

“GET YOUR ASSES MOVING!” He snapped at them. “YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME!?” That finally broke them out of their stupor and the sound of them moving began to fill the halls.

Before I knew it, we were all at the coroner’s office. We had been driven here by the Alpha and several members of his pack. There were several wolf packs here in Australia, but this was the largest in the country. And that meant that this man, who had been able to visit me in the castle, was the main wolf in charge of the district. He knew how to make sure that things were running smoothly. He was what was known as a High Noble among my people. That status was not wasted on him, since he was showing that he was a lot more efficient than the other Alphas that we had seen lately.

Once again, Talia had to pull the soul out of the man’s body. This man was a young teenage looking boy with black hair done in thin braids, and he had a complexion that would have looked like warm chocolate if it wasn’t for the paleness of death that set in. He was a handsome young man that looked about the same age as Reagan and Rika. It made me want to call them soon, to check in on them. I needed to make sure that things were going smoothly at school for them as well as Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley. They were all there without me and I missed them so much.

Being a busy mom with this type of power and authority might seem nice at first, at least from the outside, but once you have all of it, you begin to wish that you were just a normal mom that got to be there with her family more often.

The interview was conducted in front of everyone. Alpha Leon, his Beta Richard, and a few other people from his pack, were all there with us. They heard Talia’s part of the conversation and were so engrossed in the show that they were almost hypnotized by it all. They were shocked that she could do this, just like the others had been. Well, I guess the rumors about Talia were going to spread before long. That was not bad, but it could be uncomfortable for her later in life.

I saw that Talia was getting really tired. I didn’t want her to push herself more than she needed to. I didn’t want to burden her with what was going on more than I had to. I wanted her to feel like she was able to rest when she needed to. She needed to take care of herself. However, she was too much like me for her own good. And when I suggested that she head back, she refused. She was going to stay with us until we all went back to the Alpha’s house.

There were some familiar things at the crime scene. Things that were at all of them were here again. The words, that manifesto from the killers. That had been found scraped into the ground. It was also, like on the tree in Wales, written with some sort of runic water. That was going to need some investigation soon. Still, I was just glad that we were all wearing shoes. When it was stepped on, it would have burned feet if it hadn’t been for the shoes. Still there was another set of burned fingers.

There was one thing that was new about this crime scene though. This time, there was something left behind. The victim, Marcus, had seemed to fight back more than most of the others. There was blood that didn’t belong to the victim as well as a scrap of fabric that looked to be from the robes that Talia mentioned before. It was the same shimmering silver that she said the victims mentioned every single time she interviewed them.

“We can put a rush search on the blood and analyze the material. I know that both of them will be helpful in tracking down some information about these killers.” Dietrich was looking at the fabric as he spoke.

“Yes, but I want to send it to Rawlynne to conduct the tests with her people. She can keep the results private if she uses the wolves in her lab. I don’t need to find out that these people are not human and then the police find that out. We need to be on guard as we take care of this.” I was feeling paranoid. Happy to finally have at least a single clue, two actually, but I was still paranoid. There was nothing in the world that would make that paranoia go away until I found these people and were assured of who and what they were.

“I agree. We need these two things as well as the dirt and bark from the words analyzed. It might take a while, but while we wait, we can continue to investigate the murders that have already happened.” Vincent was taking the cloth from Dietrich now. We all thought that the color was odd, and that there seemed to be something off about it. We would find out what that was soon though.

“Come on everyone, let us return to the house. We can talk while we’re there.”
