2: The help of wolves

 *Logan*

 “What the fuck was that ?” There is a sound like a small explosion up on the road about a mile away.

 We are sitting around one of the fire pits out in the backyard, but Being a werewolf it’s no problem to hear the sound at this distance, especially not at night with only the sound of the flickering flames to muddle it.

 Jax turns his head towards the sound .. right then there is a new sound. “Sounds like something crashing ... an accident maybe”.

 “I think we better go check”. AJ says, getting up ... stretching like he expects to be able to see something. “Someone could be in trouble”.

 I nod. “Yeah ... you are right, let’s take the pickup”.

 We hurry out to the car, my dog Luna on my heels and I let him come too, sitting in my lap as Jax takes the wheel. It would have been faster to change to our wolf form, but then we would arrive naked and that tend to raise a lot of questions

 “It’s a bus”. AJ comment as we get closer. “Looks like ... a tour bus or something ... it’s in the ditch”.

 “Thanks AJ, we do have eyes though”. Jax mumbles. “Holy ... does that say Hadley King ? Like in that ... doll-like girl who won ‘the star’ ?”

 I look closer at the big picture on the side of the bus, he is right ... she looks almost like an anime cartoon, not really something I like ... but I remember her from the show, she has an amazing voice, when the producers is not fucking it up. “Yup ... probably some crew”.

 We park on the other side of the road and a middle aged man comes over. “Sorry for the commotion. I am Mario ... we had a small accident here”.

 “Is everyone okay ?” I ask and when he nods I hold out my hand. “Logan ... this is Jax and AJ ... we live right down here, it’s the only house nearby ... do you guys need a hand or anything”.

 “Well I guess we need to get some transport and help to get the bus out, maybe you know who to call ...”. The guy says looking a bit uncertain.

 Suddenly a sleek looking guy in expensive slacks and a dirty polo shirt steps up. “Wait I know you ... you are Logan Walker, the actor”.

 “Uhm yeah I am ... and you are ?” I honestly don’t like him much, he just has an unpleasant aura, and a smell that makes my nose itch, but I remind myself not to judge him without giving him a chance. Maybe he is shaken by the accident.

 “Ryan Davis”. He says it like I am supposed to be impressed and shakes my hand. “The girls can’t stay here, it’s dark and cold, we need to take them to the house to wait for transportation”.

 I am not a fan of the demanding tone, but of course I am not going to leave anyone stranded here, especially not girls. “Sure, we can walk back to the house ... it’s less than a mile. Jax, could you help Mario get their things on the pickup and drive it back ?”

 “Sure, no problem”. Jax gives me a nod and goes to talk logistics with Mario.

 “If you get the girls, me and AJ will take you to the house”. I look at Ryan.

 He looks a bit like he smelled something bad. “Uhm ... just take the girls.. I’ll stay and help load the car. Girls out here now”. The last part he yells.

 Four people scramble out the bus, three young blonde girls who at first look could be triplets, with the same kind of boots, very tight skinny jeans and matching puffy jackets in different colours ... with them is a kid wearing a cap and hoodie, his hands pushed into the shirts pocket.

 “Hi ... I am Logan, me and AJ here are going to take you down to the house, you can stay warm and get something to drink, but it’s about a fifteen minutes walk ... okay ?”

 The triplets look slightly discouraged but que up to shake my hand, telling me their names are, Laila, Sindy with an S and Barb ... they look to be in their early twenties, pretty girls, but honestly nothing special.

 The young guy walks over, reluctantly pulling out his hand. It is small even for a kid, maybe he is younger than he seems, hard to say as he keeps his face down and his voice is hardly more than a mumble. “Lee”.

 “Hi Lee, nice to meet you”. I give him a smile, wondering if he is very shy. “Welcome on ... let’s get back to the warmth”. 

 When our hands touch, a weird feeling runs up my arm, making me pull my hand away. That was weird.

 I quickly turn and whistle for my dog. “Come on Luna”.
