Chapter 23 - The Black Wolf is on the Hunt

Silence seemed to envelop the city. Everyone involved in the Underworld knew that something big was happening as all information networks had been shut down. Even the legal networks had seemed to cease to exist. While everyone was waiting for any news at all, a phone rang in an office by the docks. The leader of Lagarde answered the phone to hear seven words that he wished to never hear. The same phone call was going off in every Underworld base in the city. Everyone soon received the same message. The simple seven words struck fear in everyone's heart as it was quickly passed through the city, "The Black Wolf is on the hunt."

Sean walked out of the building ignoring the screams from Isaac who was shoved into a car. Sean immediately walked up to the now awake driver, "what happened?" The voice low and threatening. The driver shook in fear as he related how he was attacked from behind and the next thing he knew was Claire was waking him up. Sean coldly looked at the man before walking past him towards a waiting vehicle. Sean immediately told everyone to get out before jumping in the drivers seat and flooring it. The heavy duty pickup seemed to be shot out of a cannon,as the Diesel engine roared, as the truck took off flying down the road. The 4 followers were shocked at Sean's response but all quickly reacted to set their end of the operation up. Berkowski sent a kill switch to all information networks, Claire informing all the Underworld bosses of Sean's action and calling a meeting. John getting the technology branch of Dearborn looking through cameras throughout the city for his car, while Frank pulled in search and rescue experts from Sean's team and beginning to analyze the scene.

While driving away Sean gripped the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles were white. His phone chimed, glancing at the notification, he slammed on the brakes before heading in another direction. Shortly after Sean arrived at a hotel and was quickly escorted to the penthouse suite. Upon entering he looked at the Elder Carmichael. "You decided to leave the sanctuary of your manor." Sean said coldly. The old man coughed, "Mr. Hayes, or as the public world knows you, Mr. McAlester. I know that he is here. He is the only person in the world who can silence an entire cities information network and the only person who can do the same to mine." Sean looked at the old man, his face refusing to show any emotion as he roared "did you take her!?" The old man was stunned before responding, "take who? I just arrived in the city tonight."

"Mr. Carmichael, if you help find my car I will get your request for a meeting with him brought up. However, you may not be happy with the results." The old man nodded before responding, "what little I can gather from my hampered network is that your car was taken by someone not in our world, Mr. Hayes. But it was taken by someone in Mr. McAlester's world." Sean nodded in response before leaving these words as a parting gift, "January 18th 8am Green Mountain Cemetery. He'll know if you don't come alone. If he shows he approves of your meeting." The old man stopped sean before he left, "which headstone?" Sean looked at the old man, "Mark Hayes." Sean left the words before quickly exiting the hotel.

A red phone rang in an office of a school. A young man, no older than 17 immediately answered, "Bay City Chidrens Academy." The response wand not one he had expected, "Headmaster Sean's wife was kidnapped" The teen immediately hung up the phone before setting off a hidden alarm. Soon all the students gathered knowing that the alarm wasn't good news. Rob, who was on campus at the time walked into the auditorium. He walked up to the teen standing in front of the entire school. Glaring at the teen he spoke,"you know setting off the alarm is punishable in the worst way." The teen walked up to the microphone before speaking to the silent crowd, "at 8:45pm the Red phone rang." Any noise now was gone. Even Rob knew the red phone could only be called by Frank. The teen continued, "Headmaster Sean's wife was kidnapped" suddenly it was so silent that no one dared to breath. Then a girl near the front, the same one who Sara sat down next to, spoke up," Alright you heard him! Green team you take the northeast sector, Red city center, orange south east, black the outskirts, blue take northwest and purple southwest. Come on people, after everything that's he's done for us let's do our part. Red team your with me!" The girl immediately began to walk out as the other students seemed to snap back to reality. Very shortly afterwards the city seemed to be crawling with orphans wearing colored armbands.

A businessman walking down the streets ran into a girl with a red armband. He didnt think anything of it at first until a thought hit him 'that armband said Bay City Children's Academy' he turned around and shouted after the girl. The little girl looked at the man before asking, "can I help you sir?" The businessman walked up to the girl before asking, "what happened at the academy." The girl looked at the man puzzled before responding, "the Headmasters wife is missing." The man coughed before exclaiming"headmaster Jordan or Sean? Tell me." The girl looked at the man who seemed to start sweating, "headmaster sean sir" the man immediately pulled out his phone and sent a message to a group called: Bay City Children Academy Alumni. The message simply said: Headmaster Sean's wife is missing in Bay City.

All around the city, shops seemed to immediately close shooing customers from their shops, businessmen and women canceled meetings, tradesmen ceased operations as they received the news. All these people turned up to the Academy where Rob was in charge of gathering the information coming from the groups around the city. Rob looked at the huge group, of about 2,000 people, that was led by the same man who stopped the little girl. The man spoke, "Rob how can we help?"

Rob soon divided the group up and soon the people joined the orphans in the search around the city. Suddenly as Rob received a call from a group Sean pulled in. He walked up to Rob before simply asking, "any news?" Rob shook his head. "Who is she? I didn't know you got married." Sean sighed frustratingly before responding," its Sara" Rob froze looking at the map the was growing in filled in colored grids of places already searched. He turned to Sean, but before he could speak a radio with black tape on it rang out, "we found the car it's in Writon Valley." Sean immediately turned on his heels and jumped back into the truck flooring it out of the school grounds.
