| kept a serious tone as | said, “I'll be direct with you. We're currently investigating the disappearance of a
scientist.

“These past three years, brilliant minds from packs across the continent have vanished without a trace. We
believe these unusually colored gems may be connected to those cases.
“The gem in your possession was among the first to surface. Its origin could be critical. For the safety of all our
kind, | hope you can help us piece this together.”
Rufus studied me, surprised. “Are you with the authorities?”
“Not officially,” | admitted. “But my family and my partner have been deeply affected by these gems. | owe it to
them to find the truth.”
He nodded slowly, expression turning thoughtful and noticeably softer.
| shifted my approach. “Perhaps you could simply tell us-did the gem originate locally, or was it acquired
elsewhere?”
Rufus fell silent for a long moment. He removed his glasses, polishing them carefully before speaking. “I
purchased it from a physics professor with the surnLewis.
“Even now, gems like these are extremely rare. But at the time, he asked only a hundred thousand. | was

My pulse quickened. “Lewis? A professor? Was it Tom Lewis?”
If it was him, so many pieces would finally click into place.
“I'm not sure,” Rufus admitted, adjusting his glasses as he met my gaze seriously. “I only knew his last name
was Lewis, and that he was a high-ranking werewolf. How old is this Tom Lewis you just mentioned?”
“Probably in his 30s or 40s. He is also a high-ranking werewolf,” | said, though the details were hazy in my
memory.
“Then it’s not him,” Rufus stated with certainty. “The man | dealt with was around my age. He was a high-
ranking werewolf too, but he could easily have been the father of Tom Lewis.”
He paused, then added, “That gem was my pride and joy. It's so precious to me. If | ever see that man again, I'll
recognize him instantly.”

My hope wavered, dimmed, then flickered back to life. At least | wasn’t leaving completely empty-handed.
“Thank you, Mr. Covington. Truly. On behalf of my family and those missing scientists, I'm grateful for your help,”
| said sincerely, my voice steady.
“Please, there's no need for that!” He quickly wavedoff. “This is for the greater good. As a member of the
pack, it’s my duty to contribute to everyone's safety. No thanks are necessary.
| nodded, relief washing over me. We exchanged contact information before parting ways.
Truman lingered beside me, watching Rufus’s retreating figure. “Now that we know the gem cfrom a
scientist, your investigation is heading in the right direction,” he said quietly, more to himself than to me.
“If we can find that older Mr. Lewis, things should becmuch clearer ...

“Honestly, I'm curious too,” he continued. “If someone knew how valuable that gem was, why sell it for just a
hundred grand?”
