"At least I ain't had to go to Atlanta again." Daryl said as he stood with Bernardo and Edward watching the private jet touch down on the runway at the small municipal airport outside of town..
"Anita is worried, she thought we could use the help." Edward said.
"So who did she send?" Bernardo asked, "Anyone we know?"
"Bobby Lee who figured he would get a free trip home out of the deal. He brought some of the wolves and other rats; but they are all muscle, damned good in a fight." Edward answered as he Watched the shifters debarking from Jean Claude's private jet.
"I can't believe I'm agreein' to all these damned varmints comin to town. Ya better make it clear to em that folks round here won't hesitate to put em down so they better be damned good at playing human." Daryl said.
"Don't worry, Daryl. They are." Edward assured him.

Another day wasted but no new bodies Daryl thought to himself. At least none that had been found. Most of the varmints had set up tents outside in the cleared area around the cabin but inside Bobby Lee, Edward, Bernardo and Daryl were talking. Daryl actually found he didn't mind the wererat named Bobby Lee who had grown up down around Valdosta way.
Bobby Lee was as impressed with the human as he thought he would be. Although Daryl seemed quiet and easygoing, the boy had a hair trigger. No wonder he was so well known among the shifter and vamp communities.
"You know Daryl, we have a name for you we use among ourselves too just like with Anita and Edward, we call ya 'Vengeance'. That's probably the biggest compliment you can get from us. It means you give the monsters nightmares."
"I don't hunt shifters and vamps." Daryl said glancing at the man just a bit confused.
"We know that, which is why the community here in Georgia is so damn scared of ya'" Bobby Lee chuckled. "They're scared you might one day up and decide to start huntin' em. Right now ya kill em in a heartbeat if'n they cross ya path wrong, but ya don't go gunnin for em. Ya go gunnin' for em and Georgia might just be declared off limits. That don't happen much."
"The only other case I know of it happening is Santa Fe." Edward explained. "It's off limits in the vamp community due to our local master of the city, Obsidian Butterfly. Talk about delusions, Obsidian Butterfly insists she is an ancient Aztec goddess and she is still worshiped as one by her followers. Until the Mother of all Darkness started waking up, she was the only thing that scared the hell out of the Vampire Council."
"You tryin to convince me that a bunch of varmints, no offense Bobby Lee, think I'm some god?" Daryl snorted.
"None taken and no. We don't think you're some god, we think you're Satan himself!" Bobby Lee replied. "Look at them arrows. Silver tipped ain't they. And then there's that little bottle over there, I can smell the garlic from here. Ya may not go out huntin us but you know enough to be prepared for us when ya go out huntin."
"Well we don't know what it's going to take." Edward interrupted. "So I'm thinking that extra firepower can't hurt." Edward began unpacking on of his duffel bags pulling out a number of high powered rifles, and grenades.
"Well since it's show and tell time, I guess it's my turn." Bernardo said dumping a collection of colored stones onto the table. "Got them from a Cherokee medicine man some years back. I carry them where ever I go."
"Magic? I don't believe in it. I'd rather trust in my Horton than some mojo." Daryl said.
"You'd be surprised how many times the faith of the person that made the talisman is what makes it work. Since we really don't know what we're dealing with any edge we can get will help." Bernardo said.
"Well pack whatever you're gonna need. Once we hit the trail in the morning we ain't comin back till we dealt with this." Daryl said.

The sun was just peeking over the horizon when two four wheel drive vehicles left the small cabin the next morning. Daryl had called the Sheriff to fill him in on the fact that there was a large group of hunters heading up into the mountains to track whatever it was (even if the Sheriff was still insisting that it was a bear) and also called Merle to let him know that Cletus and Bobby had shown up.
Edward had made a few calls of his own. First to Donna and of course Becca and Pete had to get on the phone (Becca to tell him she wished he was home and Pete to tell him he wished he was going on the hunt). Then to Anita to check in and let her know that Booby Lee had arrived and that they were heading of into the mountains to start hunting whatever this bogey was.
Anita was wishing she could be along too but as Edward had told her, "If Vengeance and Death weren't enough to handle it, having the Executioner along probably wouldn't better their odds."
After 45 minutes of driving, Daryl turned off on a red clay road that was nothing more than a couple of ruts worn into the ground by tires.
"Are you sure this is a road?" Edward said as he bounced off the seat at another rut.
"It's an old logging road." Daryl explained. "Been the local make out spot since my pa was a teenager. Story is Ma got knocked up with Merle out here."
Edward noticed that they had reached a clearing still surrounded by yellow police tape. Daryl Shut off the truck and climbed out. Reaching into the bed of the pickup he shrugged into a back pack before setting his bow.
"Grab your stuff, folks. We're on foot from here. Just keep an eye out for wild hogs and snakes."
"Ah Daryl. Ya forgetting what we are? Wild hog smells us comin he's gonna unass the area real quick." Bobby Lee said with a chuckle.
"Guess it's habit. Takin them damned city slickers on their little huntin trips. I kinda forget some folks ain't totally lost up here." Daryl said.
