Five Thousand Club
Council/Nikolaus
As Sky opened her mouth to interrupt the conversation, which Klinge had put on speaker for the rest of the council's benefit so they could know why Miley was requesting a new home, the older gentleman sighed at the news he was given. "They didn't even clean the place up after Bella's death?" he questioned with a frown, turning to look at Adolf and Sky through his glasses. The conditions of the house...the fact that there was the scent of burned bodies that remained..."Adolf, get my laptop," said Klinge. The middle-aged wolf nodded and headed towards the meeting room where he ended up coming back some minutes later. As they knew and Tobias about Amelia's death...the male's eyes tightened briefly before he exhaled...she should know as well. "Amelia is dead," he spoke. He didn't need this information getting back to Andrew if the man was in Clover Hills. As it turned out....
Niko was highly content within the chair, not knowing things would soon break out or they were missing a wolf. He watched the two wolves, the cigarette still in his mouth as soaked in the warmth of the sun. Sensing Miley looking at him, given she was still in front of him and on the phone with someone, the male shifted into his half form, turning one ear towards the pack downstairs and one ear towards the fire and Miley's voice but didn't interrupt the conversation, sensing it was important. Nor did he make any move to call Matthew, not that he could have talked much to his kids as they were still wolves and couldn't hold a phone....though Yem had once tried and gotten teeth marks on it, as there wasn't really anything at all interesting aside from Tor's survival, a child and the pack had grown.
Klinge and Sky talked among themselves as they waited for Adolf to return. "Get out," Klinge ordered sharply, the two others frowning but disappearing. Klinge told Miley to hold on and logged onto his laptop, typing quickly over the keyboard as he pulled up some real estate and listening as she spoke of the pack needing a fresh start. "Burn the old house," said Klinge. "I don't care how you do it." Over the phone he could feel a fire crackling. "Have you heard from any other council members?" questioned Klinge suddenly as he searched through Montana real estate listings, looking for somewhere that seemed in the territory but not anywhere near the differing houses they had remained within, using a map of Montana he pulled up onto his screen and then a scanned file of the area of Clover Hills.
Klinge's fingers stopped typing as he heard Miley's answer and the sound of glasses being set on the table could be heard with a quiet sigh and a frail body dropping into the chair. Silence stretched over the phone until there was the sound of fingers tapping over keys, Klinge something several miles from either house in a different direction. "Do not cooperate with Andrew Ross," spoke Klinge sharply as he took the phone off speaker. Transferring some of his own funds into a bank account he got set up by working with a wolf over Skype in a bank in Montana, the wolf getting a promise to have a debit card ready for pick up or mail. Pulling up Miley's phone number, he messaged the house's picture to her and its coordinates. He then sent up funds for Haven's use with the loss of half their territory...they would need it.
"I've transferred some of my money into a bank account set up for your pack. It should be enough for six months and to get you through winter though your wolves will have to work to get clothing and privileges," said Klinge. " Haven also has money sent up to carry them through winter and spring with the destruction of their land as of five seconds ago. If your wolves fail...they are expected to pay me back with interest...and if I die...they will pay back Cohen House and Bill, with each subsequent generation." The exact same threat would be issued to Gabriel...though the old wolf would do so himself instead of allowing Sky to do so. Cohen House had plenty of gems and money on them throughout their years but he was putting faith in Miley by purchasing the new Glaswin home with council money and putting his own money into a bank account for the female.
"There will be a card for you to pick up in a week. Until then, you'll have to make do...but bills are turned on so you'll have electricity, heat and water," said Klinge. Having made sure that was included when buying the house and setting up accounts under a fake name the council tended to use to buy things. "Screen loners carefully...and if needed...cruelly before allowing them in. Kill any betrayers to the pack...I don't care what their ages are. The account is set so only you can access it. If you have no questions, then report in three weeks with a progress update." At the very least she could report on if she had bred or not....for winter was close at hand...Klinge could feel it in the air and his bones.
Vince
As Vince got the fire started within the fireplace, he heard the door shut and silence before the omega asked him a question. Blowing out the match, he tossed a couple logs onto the fire, plus some newspaper and a cardboard box that he ripped up to fuel the fire for kindling before sitting back on his knees. "Would you prefer I leave you on your own for that human to attempt to kill or perhaps you'd prefer to freeze outside since your wolf refuses to take hold?" he questioned as he turned to look at her but made no move to get up off his knees. Instead he stretched his hands towards the fire and listened to her questions. "For one, you and Ice are the only omegas and Ice is not here. Not that the kid can do much but he's back with the pack and watching the pups...or entertaining if the alpha's bored." While he might have issues talking about his previous line of work that led to him being bitten by Matthew in front of his sister and the others...he had no qualms about speaking of Ice's past. Not even sure that was the boy's real name.
"I can keep an eye on you here and you might get lonely being in a big house by yourself. You need someone to protect you and I said I would work with you on your dominance...or at least I will try. Ice won't be any help there and you'll need it if you wish to become Pursuer...or even...a higher rank than a subordinate leader position," said Vince after some thought. That and her past was a mystery as well as nobody giving the female the time of day in the pack. Well...his wolf was seemingly relaxed around the female. Comet
