The Meeting...

Tuesday September 1st 2020...

It has been a dreadfully dreary day. Type of day that make you want to curl up next to a fireplace with a good book and a Cup O’ Joe. The sky is completely overcast with a slight misty drizzle. The weather forecast predicts this weather for the rest of the week. It might even get worst with possible sever storms heading this way.



Felix Van Kamp (@Jabes.plays.RPG )
You missed a call last night. Waking up this morning your phone is blinking with the tall tale sign of a voicemail. Snatching your phone, calling the voicemail, "Please Enter your Pin Number followed by the pound key." Punching your pin "Welcome to your Orion Wireless voice mail. You have 1 missed message. First missed message sent Monday Auguest 31st 11:18PM" A brief pause then the sound of a panicked out of breath familiar voice. "Felix...They found me." Background you can hear him running and the rustling of branches and the distance sound of off road vehicles "Find my Boy. Explain everything... Tell him..." You hear a distance loud shot, the man and the phone both go silent...
Grabbing your coat and gear you hop in your car and head out. After a few hours drive you turn down a long forested road and park your car by an old Log Cabin in the woods...

Your father still isn't home. It has been just five days which is sometimes normal for him. You're still worried but school calls... After a quiet normal day of school you head back home. You start grabbing some gear to go searching for your dad when an unknown car drives up your driveway and parks in front of your house...

After a busy afternoon of editing some videos for your feed you receive a message from one of your followers. The Follows name is Doctor Neon. Their message was pretty short. "Check this Vid" With a Video below and a set of GPS coordinates.

The video is rough and blurry at times and the view comes from above perhaps from a drone. It shows a man running through the woods. Darting between trees, jumping over fallen logs, and rolling behind bushes. His speed and agility is truly stunning. The Drone is struggling to keep the man in frame. The drone pans to behind the man and you see 4 AVT chasing after him. Panning back to the man he is still running for his life. He pulls out a cell phone and fumbles to make a call. With the cell phone in one hand he keeps running checking every so often to see if someone answers. A look of relief then frustration flashes over his face. He starts talking into the phone as he keeps running. Behind him the ATV have gotten much closer. A man leans out the side of one of them with something that reminds you have a RPG from some games you played. He fires and a large net flies out and traps the man. The net surges with electricity and the man goes limp. The 4 ATV surround him 4 guys get out and haul the now still man into the back of one of the ATVs. They drive off...

After watching the video a few times you notice a few very interesting details.
The man's face, chest, and arms are extremely hairy, his face is elongated almost wolf life, his hands are claw like and you can see sharp claw like toes ripped through his shoes.
The ATVs all had a logo on the side. The Logo belongs to a company called Atlas. Atlas do a lot of research in the technology, medical, and military fields.

You pull up Google Maps and look up the GPS. It leads into the middle of a nearby forest. Scrolling around on the map you find a small wood cabin and a few side roads that are nearby. You grab your stuff, hop in your car and start heading that way.

Logan looks out of the window check father's table drawer and cries Mum, where's father's planner? Perhaps new customer. Father told to never turn down those who come in person.
Mother cries back from the kitchen Table drawer?
Logan sigh takes a piece of paper and a pen, then cries Where is my Jäger hat? he looks few years older in that hat and try to wear it when facing customers other than children. Father keeps saying "first impression is most important".
Mother answer Can't it still be in your travelling backpack? And be careful, this isn't the weather and a usual date for hiking booking...
Mom... he wants to object, but picks the belt with a knife on - it could only improve an impression:


Logan comes out of the log cabin dressed in grey sport trousers, dark-green pullover, heavy boots and fancy hunting hat that looks like from last century. A hunting knife in sheath on the belt looks funny on him, because sport trousers do not suppose wearing a belt. He is heading towards the car with a made-up smile on his face, waving his arm in a greeting.

The man who steps out of the silver Ford Taurus looks to be in his early thirties. Tousled chestnut hair, bleary eyes squinting behind sunglasses, well-cut but rumpled black suit, patent leather shoes crunching on gravel.

"Hi there! I'm looking for Logan. My name's Felix. I'm a friend of David's."

Right! Sure. I'm Logan, nice to... Smile slowly disappears fro Logan's face as he is trying to understand why would dad's fried be looking for him instead. Wait why?
Young man stop walking and start sniffing air and looking around. Do you know where he is?

"I wish I knew where," Felix runs a hand through his hair and sighs. "I'm afraid something bad's happened to him."

Felix goes on to tell Logan how he and David know each other, about the Cassano crime family, and shares the voicemail with him.

Logan relaxes and invites Felix to meet David's wife Mara. He share his desire to go look for his father that has only increased with the new information. He need about 30 more minutes to pack.
They have found me. They have found me. he keeps quoting father. A young man believe he will be able to track them, though have no idea how.

For obvious reasons Mara is begging Felix to assist Logan in his attempt to find David and to hold Logan of any reckless actions.

"Of course I'll do everything I can. Apart from the fact it's part of my job to protect him and his family, I consider David a friend."

Felix watches Logan approvingly as the youth prepares his gear. "Apple didn't fall far from the tree."

"Excuse me, I just need to make a call. I know someone who might be able to help pinpoint the location from where David sent the voicemail."Felix dials Piper's private mobile number from his smartphone.

The phone rings a few times then a soft and very friendly female voice answers. "Piper's Peculiar Products. This is Piper Speaking. What can I do for you?"

"Piper, it's Felix. I need your help. Could be life-or-death. Someone left me a voicemail last night on this number, I need to know the location they sent it from. If there's one person who can do it, I know it'd be you."

"Thanks, P!" Felix says, but she's already ended the call. He watches the video. Is that... David? Should he show Logan? "Find my boy... explain everything..." Well maybe David and Logan have some explaining to do themselves.

"Logan, I think you need to watch this video I just received."

It is not a surprise but a despair on Logan's face as he watch. It takes time and a few re-plays of the video for Logan decide: doesn't look like he anyone else to choose to trust, but Felix.
Felix, was it? Should you indeed be a fried of my father... how much you know about him? We don't tell anyone. We didn't. And now ... They got him. I guess it is just a matter of time before they realize my genes are also affected.

Feeling wretched Logan shares the fact of father's genetic mutation the whole history of the lecantropy as much as he knows it. Logan do not hide the fact that he has genetically inherited the the disease as he calls it, though it has mutated in his organism and has less visual manifestation of the transformation.
It is a relief to finally share with someone, but afterwards he feels emptied and depressed. So he sit there in the chair lost in his thoughts.

Felix himself had a complicated relationship with his father , so he hesitates a moment before putting his hand on Logan's shoulder.

"I always felt there was something different about your dad. For what it's worth, I think it could be a gift rather than a curse. But it's not for me to say. Regardless of how you feel about it though, your abilities might be what we need right now to save him. Are you with me?"

Wait, what? Do you mean to break in and rescue my father like in a thriller? Are you a criminal sort of? Logan is surprised, but not thinking much guess I finish packing and good to go. I was about to go search him regardless.

"I'm a federal agent actually," Felix says, leaving out the part that he's indefinitely suspended, probably gonna get fired, and that they're probably about to break a bunch of laws.

"I owe it to your dad to at least try. I've got a location of where he made that call, so I suggest we start there. That logo's another lead. Uh, do we need to tell your mom or what?"

Oh, right, show her the video, she may spot something we have missed. Or the company logo may be familiar to her. She got that 3rd aye, you know, will be back
Logan Mara he shared the secret with Felix and that they for video with farther. He is meanwhile going to the shed to pick machete and hatchet as well as Longbow and a quiver with arrows.
We may need some of these, right? he double checks with Felix

"You never know," Felix shrugs. If Logan's anything like David, Felix knows the boy'll be handy in a pinch.

Felix makes Mara promise to be careful and to call him if anyone comes snooping around here. That done, Felix and Logan drive off and head northeast. Felix texts Piper, "On route to location."
