The silver-haired figure quietly slipped through the shadows, unnoticed by anyone around him. It was slow going, he had to make sure not to be seen by the other men around him. Of course, he had a great alibi... he was taking an early vacation; one, to stay out of the current events, and two, because his wife was making him. They shouldn't suspect me at all... not after all the fuss I made at the Council meeting.

As he cleared the populated area, he shifted to his feline form and made use of the increased agility he had. He hurried to where he knew the man he was searching for would be.

Damn, I gotta find that baka brother of mine and warn him about the Council...

TBC....
