Daryl was used to takin' the lead when he went out so it was a bit unsettling to be behind someone else, namely Bobby Lee. The trail was admittedly faint after a few days. That was when the shifters cam up with a brilliant idea. The werewolves could follow the trail by scent.

One of them was now in full wolf form, it was huge. The others were still in human form but they explained that even in human form they were picking up a faint trail of something but whatever it was smelled wrong. As a result Daryl, Edward and Bernardo had quickly found themselves surrounded by shifters on all sides.

"I smell it too." Bobby Lee. "It almost smells like one of your wolves meetin' places."

"That's what we thought at first too." Manny one of the wolves spoke up. "Like death, but with a tinge of decay. That's what's off. The Munin don't smell like decay."

"Hey we got a body up here." Bobby Leecalled back to the others.

"Shit!" Daryl said pushing his way forward. Looking down at the body of the old black man, he whispered "Josiah."

*****

"I know you were one of the few people Josiah would speak to when he came to town." Sheriff Foley said. "Also one of the few he wouldn't take a potshot at."

"Josiah knew these mountains like the back of his hand. Ain't no way a bear or anythin else up here woulda got the best of him." Daryl said.

"I know most of us local law enforcement agencies don't like the Feds pissin in our ponds, but I have to say I'm glad to have em here. This is way out of my league. And this whole mess is givin me a bigger pain in the ass every damned minute." Foley told Daryl. "That girl we found the other night? Somehow her body disappeared from the mortuary's prep room. I had just hung up the phone with them, the gal was laid out on the slab waitin for em to start emblamin' her. The undertaker left long enough to take a piss came back and she was gone.

So not only do we have people getting gutted on the mountain, we got freaks in town thinks the bodies make some kind of sick keepsake. I swear Daryl, the world is going to hell in a handbasket."

Edward stood up from where he had been examining the body and joined Daryl and the Sheriff. "Sheriff, I'm Marshall Ted Forrester. Although Marshall Spotted Horse and I are here, we agreed this is still your case. We'll assist in anyway we can, we're technically 'on vacation'. My advice to you is to keep this local. I don't think there's anyone that we could pull in that would be able to do anything that we aren't already doing. And If you do call in help from the Marshall's office they are simply going to take things over and screw it up.

I'll be honest with you, we've been hot to get Dixon here on the payroll, but he keeps turning us down. You have Daryl, we don't have anyone with his tracking skills. And to be honest we're all in the dark here so calling us in officially won't help much."

"Daryl with a badge?" Sheriff Foley laughed. "Believe me you'll see the devil strolling down Peachtree Street bundled up in a fur coat before that happens!"

The County Coroner had finished loading Josiah's body in the old beat up SUV that was still used to transport bodies and was pulling out to head down the mountain.

"Guess I better get back too. Still need to go by Sam's place and take a report on that missing body. You boys be careful up here. Daryl can tell you what a tough old bird Josiah was. Keep your eyes peeled." Foley said as he headed off to his car.

*****

"We'd best sleep in shifts." Edward suggested as they all sat around the campfire.

"Yeah I was thinkin' the same thing. I don't mind tellin ya anything that could creep up on Josiah ain't nothin to be playin round with." Daryl said.

"You knew him well?" Bernardo asked.

"That old man's been livin up on this mountain alone for as long as I can remember. Made his livin by trappin. I was 12 when I met him. He sorta took me under his wing, passed on what he knew. Dropped outta school in the 4th grade but he was one of the smartest men I knew. Not book smarts, since it won't exactly require to school 'negoros' back then; but common sense. Livin with nature, shit like that."

"The wolves gonna shift except for Manny. They'll patrol round the site. Nice thing about us is when we shift we have the animal form and instincts but human intelligence." Bobby Lee told them. "But I suggest we all sleep locked and loaded just in case."

*****

Daryl sat up grabbing his bow and checking that it was set. The Wolf howled again. Edward was also awake and alert.

"It's out there," Bobby Lee whispered. "I can smell it."

Daryl pointed off into the bushes just as a loud canine yelp of pain reached them. The men quickly got to their feet. The next sound was gunfire.

Edward grabbed Bernardo as he started forward. All of them raised weapons at the sound of something coming toward them from the undergrowth. Manny stumbled into camp constantly looking behind him followed by an injured wolf.

"They bit Matt. Son's of bitches. Bullets won't take them down." Manny said. "They look human but they smell dead. All of them have been bitten, some worse than others. Some of them are fucking gutted. I counted five."

"What are you firing?" Edward asked calmly.

"Silver. Anita taught us, silver will take down almost anything." Bobby Lee answered. He dropped his Browning and pulled out a Desert Eagle. "But not everything, sometimes it takes good old fashioned lead."

"Daryl " Edward hissed tossing him a 9mm. "That one is lead."

"Are we just going to stand here? Bernardo asked quietly.

"Best thing would be to wait for sun up." Daryl said. "There's some pretty treacherous ground around here.

"If we stay here they'll have to come to us, we go out there we might walk right into them." Edward said. "No sense in giving yourself to the enemy. We stay together here, hold out until sun up."
