Chapter 6 - Malik

“We have been monitoring this group of Hunters since yesterday.” Jake stood tensely behind his seat at the long table in the guesting-hall, looking around at the shocked and mostly pale faces of the other Bears. “There are over two dozen of them, they appear to be part of some religious-extremist based paramilitary organization, and so far, we don't know how much they know, or how or when they plan to attack us.”

“Oh great.” Paul exploded to his feet, and stood on wobbly legs, meaty hands gripping the back of his chair. “That's just great! How in the Hell was this allowed to happen?”

“Well,” Jake replied, rubbing his face. “Nine of your drinking buddies decided to follow my crazy father into putting on the kidnapping and hunting of six human beings as game, while the rest of you looked the other way. You and their other friends then begged Helga to exile the six surviving Bears instead of executing them, and she did just that. And then three of them decided to get their revenge by giving out details on the Lodge and its members— including you— to three Hunter groups. They would have done more, in fact, if we had not stopped them.”

Behind Jake, in her seat, Anna felt her fists clench under the table as she shared the anger which she could hear deep under the calm tone of his voice. Yes, this exactly. And we're all so damned sick of cleaning up all the messes that have resulted.

“Fine. Then how do you plan to get us safely out of here?”

Darrin stood up beside Jake and spoke quietly.

“If you're planning to run away like a little bitch, oh aspiring Lodge Father,” he said in an openly mocking tone, “We are arranging for the shuttle to fly people out to Idaho Falls.”

“But that's ninety miles out of the way!”

Jake slammed his fist on the table.

“Yes, it is, you fucking idiot, because the Hunters are watching the airport in Jackson! If you try to evacuate via Jackson, you'll end up being picked up by the Hunters just like two of us were last time. 'Ninety miles out of the way' is ninety extra miles between you and the Hunters, so what in the Hell is your problem with it?”

Muttering rose around the table. Anna looked around at all of the older Bears, and noticed that most of them looked thoughtful as well as frightened.

Some were glaring at Jake for laying a truth bomb on them, but she was still glad he had.

“Begging your pardon,” Malik said mildly from his end of the table, “But while some of these good gentlemen are running for
