There were a number of times where Gary wished to tell his sister the truth. The two of them, although maybe not as close with each other as best friends were, were still quite close as a family.
Both of them had gone through a lot, with their father leaving them and sharing a room together. They hardly ever complained about it, because they always knew their mother was trying her best, so in their own way they would constantly help each other out.
No matter what situation the other was in, they both knew that they would try their damned hardest to help the other, and Gary had done so on a particular occasion. Although he had at times told parts, he had never explained the whole thing, leaving her to fill in her own gaps.
Now he had summoned up the will to tell her the truth, and that included finding out what he really was.
“Amy… there is a lot I need to tell you, and for all of it to make sense, I should start at the beginning. Over the summer school holidays, in order to help the family out, I decided to take a job…”
Gary went on, to explain his transporter job for the Underdogs, and what had happened to him with the mysterious package. As he told the story, Amy was holding up her hand by her mouth, she let out large gasps and even a few tears dropped by the side of her face.
She could only imagine the struggles that Gary had gone through, not just him but with all the others by his side as well. As he told each story in detail, Amy was starting to understand why everyone was so close, and how they had managed to build such a large empire.
The hardest parts for Gary to talk about, was him being a Werewolf, he didn’t go into much deep detail but did inform her that it wasn’t like an Altered as she thought. However, in the story the biggest shock wasn’t that Gary was a Werewolf.
No, it was the fact that Gary stated he was the actual leader of the Howlers. Amy started to think, everything in Slough that the Howlers owned, all the reports she read about them, all of that was Gary.
It was starting to make sense, how she had a luxurious apartment. Why it felt like she was almost always being looked out for while in the town.
At the same time, why would a gang do such a thing? Thinking about it all, the two sat in silence for a bit to let her take it all in.
In the end a large smile appeared on her face.
‘Seriously, only my brother, would be bold headed enough to make such a change in this town. He did all of that.’
The image of the bloody clothes appeared in her head. She remembered back in the karaoke place with her friend. She always wondered what might have happened to certain people. She wanted to ask, but decided against it.
The last thing she wanted to do was make Gary feel guilty for simply helping her out when she was in trouble.
“There is a reason why I decided to tell you everything.” Gary said taking a big gulp. “Because, for one, due to you being related to me. There is a chance that you might be thrown into all of this.
“I’m sure there have already been some reporters that might have nagged you, asking you questions about me. But, when I say being dragged into this, I’m not talking about the business with the Howlers, but all of this Werewolf stuff.”
Amy leaned back in her seat, surprised to hear this, was there something about Werewolves that would affect her as well.
“I… I only found out about this recently, and it's quite confusing how but it seems that I might have not become a Werewolf from that package that day.” Gary explained. “There is a chance that in our bloodline, I already had Werewolf blood in me, and if that's the case, there is a good chance that you do as well.”
Amy felt her heart beat louder for a second.
“Of course, nothing has happened to you yet, so I don’t think anything will happen anytime soon.” Gary continued. “But there is a chance. I’m looking for dad, I’m hoping that he will have some answers about this, but if you do notice anything weird, or anything at all, I want you to contact me straight away. I’ve dealt with all of this now, so I can help you.”
Her hands started to shake. She realised that after hearing Gary’s story, if she had to go through what he had to, would she be able to handle it? The thing was, what Gary had done, for the most part he was alone.
He only later had Tom by his side and the others to help him. Soon, she started to feel comfort that Gary would be there as well.
“You're a good brother Gary.” Amy said.
“You're a good sister.” Gary replied.
The two of them stayed there looking over at their mother for a while, talking about useless things.
“So… what do you eat as a Werewolf?” Amy asked.
——
Another day had passed, and Gary continued to take his driving lessons. He was a quick learner, and the instructor had his suspicions that Gary might be an Altered. Apparently Altered learned a lot faster compared to regular humans.
Reflexes with enhanced memory and senses. It just made driving almost second nature, especially since his car was an electric one, there wasn’t much for him to learn.
So he had decided to take his test and manage to pass. With that, the rest of the day was free.
“I know Kai wanted me to relax a bit more, but I’ve done enough relaxing, and I don’t have that much longer… until I have to face Midwak again.’
