It was inconceivable for Tyler to willingly leave Rain at the farmhouse, it was one of two main reasons he had brought her with him and the boys on this little hunting trip. The first being was that he nor any of the other men in his group knew the scent of Rain's sister or that of Court if he was there. The second and most important factor was that he wasn't willing to leave Rain at the ranch house and have Court send out a silent party to catch Rain again while him and the boys were away. The thoughts of losing Rain again after just having her return was more then he could handle, which made the black mawl peel back in a fierce snarl. The black fur of his ears raised up making him appear larger then he was, brushing along side Rain.<br/><br/>Waiting for her command and lead to the exact location of were Tex was seemed to take forever, but he wasn't about to say that out-loud. It was the rush of the adrenalin pumping through his body, tightening every muscle within his body. In  no time at all it seemed Rain had picked up a track and was hauling ass in the general direction of were her sister was being held. All the while as they cut through the woods and hid close to the under brush and the shadows of the night, he realized... Tex's captors were complete morons. Their campsite wasn't far from were the ranch house was, which explained the company he and his boys had earlier during the day. A scoff came from Tyler as Rain slowed down, coming to a covered opening at the mouth of the wilderness. It over looked the campsite, giving them the perfect angle to see the posts and positions of everyone within the campsite.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">This is perfect Rain, stick close to the ground so they can't see you as good. I want the boys to be ready when the truck gets her. Just hold tight, we are going to wait for the truck and the others to get here.</span><br/><br/>There was the barest hint of laughter in the words that raced through Rain's mind. Oh yes, Tyler certainly had a plan and Kaden wasn't in the least going to back from it. The wolf lowered down to the ground making himself appear as a small target just in case they had a scout out in the woods, or a sharp shooter for that matter. His ears were shifting overheard, listening to the barest of changes within their surroundings, a scent, a shuffling of feet, anything that would give him a clue that they were not alone at this point. Though his thoughts were inner coordinated he wanted to make sure he and Rain was alone as he looked at the blazing fire and spoke conspiracy plans with Kaden.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Kaden, I have a insane plan, I know how you like to flirt with danger. I want you to run the truck through the middle of their campsite and park it there. The site is near the meadow by the large woods that surround the three quarters of the clearing. You know... the place were we 'play' at from time to time. I want that truck perfectly parked in the center of that damn campsite. make sure the kids are loaded to the teeth, even Pete. Rain says some of the men are being forced to be here against their will, but if any of them attack to kill, I want them taken out quickly, but don't kill them, make them hurt until they are no longer a threat to Rain or Tex.</span><br/><br/>The connection between Tyler and Kaden would be cut off after he got the feel of Rain beside him, the bristling of her fur and the growl that came from her. Tyler's paw reached out, nudging her to remain silent and to wait for the truck. He too could hear the words that were being spoken to her sister, but he had no clear sight to see them, only his hearing told him that she was there and that she was being harmed in some way or another. Tyler felt that protective urge rise in him, though he had never seen or met Tex, she was still Rain's sister and Rain was Tyler's mate, which made her a part of this rag tag group and family to him.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Easy Rain. Just a few more seconds, once the truck is here and the boy unload then we will head in. I know how important she is to you but don't rush in, not yet.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Kaden nodded his head, though Tyler would not see the motion Kaden was silently making the right notes and then frowned. Earlier that day when he and the boys had gone out hunting they had stumbled over some human tracks, but they had all figured that it was just some lost hunters trying to make it back to their cars. Though the longer Kaden listened to the information from Tyler the more he realized that he assumption from before had been completely way off. A growl came from his lips as his knuckled turned white on the steering wheel, gripping it with a deadly force as he let his foot ease of the gas. The truck was a low rumble, making very little sound as he cut through the wood, turning of the dirt road.  In the back of the truck, James and Jayson held on to the guard rail at the top of the truck, bracing against the potholes that surprise attacked the truck out of the darkness of the night.<br/><br/>Beside Kaden Kane and Pete were looking out the front and the side window, looking for other headlights or even human motions that were out of place in the area. Their eyes were highly trained to spot the smallest of differences in any surrounding, and these surroundings the men knew like the back of their hand. Kaden slowed the truck down a good mile and half from the location they were dropping in on. He didn't turn the motor off, he didn't want an change in the night to give himself and the kid away, or Tyler and Rain's location either. Easing his door open slowly, he stepped out of the truck, coming along side the bed to look at James and Jayson. His hand reached out to tap lightly on the back glass of the truck, getting Kane's and Pete's attention as well, nodding his head for them to join them as well now. Once Kane and Pete were outside the truck as well and standing on the other side of the truck bed, opposing Kaden he spoke to them as a unit.<br/><br/>"Tyler just contacted me, the campsite is a mile and a half away from our current location, so lets make this quick. We are not killing anyone, Rain says some of the men in the camp are being forced against their will to be there, but they are all considered enemies. If any of them try to kill, take them out quickly, but don't kill them, we want them all alive... for now. Now gear up and lets get ready to crash their party."<br/><br/>With out further conversation the men gathered up for battle, Kaden went to the back of the truck, lowering down the tailgate so that some of the duffle bags were slid to the edge of the gate. Pete and Kane followed suit along the other side of the truck, stopping at the tail gate beside Kaden. Reaching into the back he pulled out a small nine millimeter pistol, opening the chamber and checking the rounds before handing it over to Pete and some extra ammo. The bullets wouldn't kill anyone, but anyway you look at it, getting shot sucked, no matter were you were hit. Reaching further down into the back he shuffled a bit finding the five dagger set at the bottom. Pulling them and the sheath free he handed them over to Pete too.<br/><br/>"I know how you love to coddle your little knives, you didn't think I would send you in with just the other one didcha?"<br/><br/>He chuckled lightly as Pete took the daggers and the sheath, wrapping out about his waist as he grinned at the bigger man now. The expression alone seemed to change that young face into something that was older beyond his years, and that was why Kaden and Tyler both like Pete, he was hard to gauge at first glance. While Kane, Jayson, and James picked through the sack of early Christmas gifts, Kaden was arming himself. Propping his right foot up on the back of the gate he raised his pants leg and slid a medium size dagger into a boot sheath and then folded the pant leg back down. At the small of his back he tucked away a Glock, loaded and ready for action. From the second duffle back there was six other guns, range from shotguns, to assault rifles. The smiles that perched on the boys faces was well worth the trip he had taken for supplies, he knew what all of them liked in a weapon.<br/><br/>After they were all armed, Jayson and James sat on the tailgate in a low crouch, using the side of the bed as a cover. In Jayson's lap rested a pump action shotgun, his right hand was holding it there, finger resting against the trigger, but it was ready at any moment to be lifted and aimed for a shot. At the other side of the tailgate James did the same, crouched with his hand at the side of the bed, holding tight as the truck moved back through the terrain, though he mainly used a right hand grip, James had been practicing to use his left hand as well. It too rested on a smaller shotgun, a sawed off shotgun at that, finger poised a eighth of the way from the trigger, but ready once the truck was parked at the center of the campsite. At the front of the truck Kane and Pete sat beside Kaden. Both of which had small handguns tucked away in various locations on their bodies, mostly hidden but close enough for a quick draw if needed. By the passenger window Pete set silently, a dagger in his hand, balancing the weight as they neared closer to the site.<br/><br/>"Get ready boys, were going right into the center of enemy land."<br/><br/>Pete and Kane both snapped their heads in Kaden's direction both with the same expression of 'What the hell did you say?' the look was well worth a million dollars, making Kaden laugh as he punched the gas and barreled the truck right into the center of the campsite. Wasting no time, with the gas down he slammed the break fishtailing them about so that James and Jayson were braced on the sides of the bed with their guns raised and aimed for the closest person to the truck. Once the truck was parked and the dust settled, Kaden, Pete, and Kane came from the front of the truck, Kaden and Kane fanned out at the sides of the truck while Pete stuck tot he large back of Kaden. Pete's hands appeared empty at the side of his pants, his right hand was pressed openly to the side of his thigh, though what no one could see was the small dagger that was pressed between his hand and his pants leg. He was waiting, waiting for a order or the first sight of trouble. Kaden was moving, each step he took Kane flanked and mirrored him.<br/><br/>"Well now, ya'll are being mighty rude here. Having ya'll a party and ain't even inviting ya neighbors, that hurts ya know?"<br/><br/>Seemed all the faces within the camp were turned, looking at them as though their were stupid or mildly insane, thinking of the latter as she better answer it seemed. As Kaden's eyes searched the area his gaze flickered towards the camp fire, his gaze narrowing down to tunnel vision at the sight of a woman, the woman he was assuming to be Tex laying under the body of a male, the male enemy. Without warning a growl parted his lips, making them curl back as he moved closer, his knuckles wrapped against the side of the truck bed, not once but three times in a code to the boys. That wrap of sound had Pete in motion, his right hand raised up from his thigh and his hand shot out into the air, a silver sharply pointed dagger went flying through the air, burying itself deep into the raised hand of Zeke. It was done without warning and with n thought, and as Kaden moved closer to Zeke he spoke as Pete drew out another dagger.<br/><br/>"Now see here, this is very wrong, handling a lady like that won't win ya any favors from her, so how about you ease up off her, nice  and slow before my friend with the daggers decide to plant two more in those pretty little eyes of yours."<br/><br/>The words held both the threat and the warning that he was not playing, and to make the point even more clear, Pete was picking another dagger from his sheath with his left hand, testing the weight of both daggers in each of his hands. Kaden all the while prowled right to Zeke and Tex, his eyes glanced from Zeke to Tex, looking her over, from the poor state of her health to the bruises that littered her form. His muscles tensed, his form being the predator he was, making his yellow eyes seemingly glimmer in the darkness, almost as though they were glowing as he stopped three feet from Zeke. It appeared Kaden had no fear of the man, which was true, after all he had never met the guy til now, but more then that he was showing the man that he was willing to challenge him to get the woman.<br/><br/>As Kaden stood their, inhaling the richness of the night, the scent of the blood, and that of the burning fire, there was a under tone that came from the woman, a scent that was familiar to him, but that was simply impossible. Kaden had never seen the woman ever before, which made no sense to why he was acting more protective of her then he should be. His wolf was running laps in his body howling out, the loudest of brass tones as it paced at a dead run, back and froth it went. With narrowed eyes he looked at the woman, and even through all the shit she had been through she held a loveliness about her, something that pulled at Kaden, but he didn't stare too long, not within the situation they were in now, examining things closer would have to come later, right now they were in enemy land with a down female, good thing they had brought the truck.</span><br/><br/>Tyler's head raised up from the ground, nuzzling the side of Rain to get her attention to the side of the truck that was coming right into the heart of the campsite. The black eyes of the wolf starred silently waiting for the right moment, even as Tyler was standing up Rain was moving with him. James and Jayson at the back of the truck held their positions while Kaden, and Kane moved to flank the bed of the truck. Though whatever was happening had set Kaden off, and with Pete in the background with those deadly daggers, first blood was on Tyler and the boys hands. That dagger that now was staked deep into the raised hand of Zeke made Tyler wonder about Kaden, the man was normal level headed in a fight, what had set him off?<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Alright Rain lets get our asses down their to protect our family.</span><br/><br/>Tyler moved then, stepping out of the shadows of the wilderness, his head moved back as a howl cut through the night alerting Kaden and the boys that him and Rain was moving in. Tyler did his best to keep his black body between Rain and the enemy, he didn't want her hurt, and knew if she did get hurt and he lost her, he would be driven insanely mad with the lost. Tyler moved to their side of the area, moving to come along side the bed of the truck, his held was stiffly held but was high in the air as his black eyes gauged the situation.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Rain, move behind Kaden, but keep his body between you and the enemy. I want you to check on your sister and make sure she is ok. Move as Kaden does and nowhere else. Understand me?</span><br/><br/>Yes, Tyler had gotten a little bossy, but he wasn't willing to risk her life while they were neck deep in thirty or so men, after all they were only six men, the odds were stacked against them at this point. Tyler was tense keeping his eyes on Rain but was also over looking the men that stood near by, watching them for movement, just as Jayson and James were. Their shotguns were at the ready as they shouldered them, sighting down the arm of the weapon to the very first person that moved.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Remember boys, no killing, just knock them around a bit, but if they try to kill one of us, kill 'em."</span>
