<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/84/Max.jpg)</div><hr/><hr/><strong>Name:</strong>Max Caine<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Rest Stop<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Katie, Liz, Hank, Kat<br/><hr/><br/>Max saw the look of confusion on Hank's face and almost knew what his next words would be as he tried to intercede, but failed.<br/><br/>"Weren't we all half and half until we changed?" It was a fair question and it actually seemed to make the other male laugh as he realized what he said. "Though I am more of a whipping cream myself." Hank laughed as Max took out his cell.<br/><br/>"I think on that note I am going to see if Jeremiah is ready with the information I asked for." He smiled to the others, his eyes drifting to Katie, trying to figure out the problem for she seemed to be quite competitive, so he doubted that his arrival would change that, it was then that it dawned on him and the reason for her withdrawl. He had hoped that she had already gone through it, but clearly she was younger then he thought.<br/><br/>"This will be an interesting and a learning time for all of us." He said as he looked up from his phone as he looked for the number he wanted. "You know you would think I would be better with these things than I am.." Finally he found the number for Jeremiah Hawthorne lifting the phone to his ear.<br/><br/>"We will all have challenges that we must overcome. This is the first pack that I have put together that I shall be a part of directly, it will be a challenge for me as it shall be for my daughter, who though human, is gifted in a number of ways that most packs would kill, and I do...OH Yes, Jeremiah..." He said as he stopped his conversation just short of what could have been a very interesting revelation.<br/><br/>"Yes? No Liz didn't help me dial the number..what? No..Yes, we are all here waiting for you..." Max lifted the phone from his ear as he looked at the number to make sure he was talking to the right person.<br/><br/>"Do you...Jeremiah shut up would you?..Do you have the information I asked for?..Good well we are ready for the packet...oh you are?..Of well why didn't you say so..." Max hung up the phone putting it back in his pocket.<br/><br/>"He is an interesting wolf Uratha." He said as he looked to Liz and smiled. "Each of you have been chosen for specific reasons and they are reason that each make you as special as you where before your change, Liz as I was saying, is special in ways that we can only hope for and her being human is an advantage that other packs do not have, she is not as weak as others of the, forgive me dear, Heard, and as such it is important that each of you consider her a sister, just as Hank is now a brother as am I in a sense to each of you, though as the leader, I am in a sense a father as well, so if you have questions it is best to ask them, and once Jeremiah arrives there will be many more to ask I am sure.<br/><br/>Max turned to Katarina. "There is no need to be timid among us Kat, we are your family now." He smiled as he moved to offer her his hand. "You must all learn to accept the other as family and in doing so we will all be stronger than we were alone, that includes you as well Elizabeth."<br/><br/>Max returned his look to the Stones as he listened for the sound of Jeremiah's vehicle. "Henry, please collect the keys to Kat and Katie's rentals and when Jeremiah arrives you will give them to him and he will see that they are returned. "Any of your bags can be placed in my car, Jeremiah will take your car Liz to where we will be staying. Normally I would have had us ride together, but I need to speak with Katie alone, so when Jeremiah arrives, Liz, you and Hank and Kat will head towards Manitou Springs, there is a station there about 20 miles from town or so..you and they will wait there for myself and Katie..understood?"<br/><br/>
