Nurse Sheila Brown
Alpha Zayne Steele
"Whether we contact a pack or not, Patrick, you all would be gone for days, hitting a few communities at a time. Plus, in each district, the recruitment process would take time, for example, informing people and answering questions because I am sure there would be questions."
Zayne thought he should shed some light on those who volunteered that they would be gone for days on end, and it was not, as Patrick said, that they might be gone for days.
No, they needed to know they may be gone for a week or two straight if they wanted to hit at least a good five communities, including travel time.
"Ultimately, we would need to get the information of those who volunteered to join the fight, and even that would take time. I would say you may all spend two days tops in some communities, while in others, you may stay half a day. It all depends on what you are faced with when you get there."
Zayne shrugged, paused, and thought for a moment, "Also, with that in mind, I suggest you all have a meeting and come up with a plan and way forward preparing for all outcomes so that when you guys get there, things will be smooth on our end."
Zayne took his time to explain and thanked them for their ideas. He was pleased to see his men rising to the occasion.
They moved on to the next agenda, and so it had gone for the rest of the meeting, where a warrior would raise a topic, they would discuss it, and get volunteers.
Sacha had kept a detailed record as they moved the meeting along.
Today's agenda was also the stakeout of the new base the entity was preparing after Zayne had compromised their previous location. The men Zayne had tasked to carry out surveillance found that heavy military was present at said location.
Zayne had requested they take note and gather specific information for the next two weeks. Zayne wanted to know the slowest and busiest time during the day and night.
And also, in the first week, monitor the days with fewer activities and do the same for the following week.
And as the meeting went along, Zayne realized they could lay low from poking the bear for the next two weeks while they conducted their recruitment and started training immediately.
Also, they would need to prepare accommodation for the recruits and if the available rooms in the community house and the few empty homes they had were full. They would need to start putting up some temporary structures.
They had a lot to do, and they might as well stay away and prep because he suspected the military was there to catch them in the act.
He would use this time wisely. It may take two weeks or even a month for them to be fully ready. Meanwhile, he would maintain surveillance.
Moving on to the next agenda, Jovi barreled into the meeting breathlessly, "Alpha, so sorry to interrupt, but I found them."
Zayne lifted his hand and beckoned Jovi to him, and Jovi rushed to the front and gave Zayne a stack of papers.
Zayne knew Jovi was working on some crucial traces for him, and how Jovi came rushing in definitely piqued his interest. He wanted to know if Jovi had found them.
Thirty minutes earlier, Jovi was in his space. He was checking to see if a location had materialized for the trace he was running to track where the tap at Alpha Dartwood's pack was coming from.
He had been checking on this non-stop, almost every minute, working day and night, rewriting algorithms, hoping to yield results, rather than saying to his Alpha that he could not find anything.
Jovi jumped out of his skin when he heard a computer ping. Rushing over to the culprit that pinged, he saw it was for the trace he was running on the name Sheila Brown.
The nurse's name was scribbled on the burnt sheet of paper Zayne had found on the last mission.
Jovi had stared at the screen in front of him, unblinking for a good minute, not believing he had finally got a hit.
As it turned out, Shiela Brown was a temp nurse. She would not be in one hospital for too long. She was always filling in for someone, whether because of maternity leave or vacation, even casual days off.
If it were more than three days, Nurse Sheila Brown would fill the position temporarily until they turned. He had found that the last place she worked was at Clifton Hill Hospital, where she worked under five doctors during her week there.
The names showed (Dr. John Davies, Dr. Mathew Tally, Dr. Sonia Raymond, Dr. Nathan White, and Dr. Nile Widget).
It said that she had yet to check into her following location, which was supposed to be Buccoo Valley Memorial Hospital, but she never showed up.
He saw some chatter in the files he pulled up with her name on it about Buccoo Memorial.
Jovi immediately started simultaneous searches on all the doctors' names mentioned, and he quickly printed what he had on Sheila thus far.
As he headed to the printer to collect the prints and head over to give Alpha Zayne the news, another computer pinged.
Jovi went wide-eyed, spinning on his heel, heading to the noise, wondering if his searches for the doctors had yielded results already. However, it was the trace in reference to the tap at Alpha Dartwood's.
Jovi shouted yes and did the action with it, lifting his hands and bringing them downwards, elbows bent, fingers moved into a fist as he brought it down on 'yes.'
"Goddess, thank you," Jovi lifted his hands in the air and shouted again, feeling like he was progressing. Since Tuesday night, he had been running the trace on Shiela, and the trace on the tap had been running since Wednesday night.
Jovi was happy he had something to present to his Alpha after recalling that he could not crack the USB drive and had yet to make progress on the hard drive and to make sense of the picture Zayne had given him.
Just when he questioned his skills, this happened because an algorithm written perfectly can yield results in hours.
This result took days and countless rewritings.
Nevertheless, Jovi had printed the details for that as well, picked up both printouts and ran over to the situation room as if the devil was chasing him.
Zayne scanned the papers in his hands, and Jovi saw the moment when relief graced his Alpha's features to have this intel, "Jovi, please inform the group of your findings, as we will need to discuss the next steps soon after, also, the doctors?"
Jovi knew what his Alpha was asking, "I set up traces on them before coming over here."
Jovi answered and explained his findings to the team.
"As such, we would need two more teams, one to sit at Sheila's address and the other to sit at the location the tap was coming from. These are two important locations, and I want everything we can find in both locations."
"Who goes in and comes out, detailed background information on them. The traffic, the same intel as the team that's staking out the new base for the entity's atrocities, is the same intel I want at this location."
"When is it the busiest and the slowest and such like," Zayne finished, looking around the room, and there was no shortage of willing warriors ready to take on the task.
"Also, Alpha, still nothing yet with the photo." Jovi's job here was done. He would return to check the new traces and attack this hard drive.
"Also, I am still working on the hard drive," Jovi said before exiting. He wanted to update him on that as well.
"Thanks for the updates, Jovi, and great job. Let me know as soon as anything else comes up," Alpha Zayne acknowledged and informed.
