Phoenix Maplewood Stronger Connected

Already, Reek could see this whole exchange would be more trouble than it was worth. Esaro just wouldn't let the whole thing go. The pack didn't need any more trouble on it's hands, especially when it came to an intruder that didn't even exist. The situation needed to be diffused here and now, but Reek still didn't want to dispel the problem with the truth. No, the pile of bullshit would tower even higher with more lies.

Reek let loose a frustrated sigh, laced with the strain of exhaustion.  He put on his most grim expression and said to Esaro, "I've already handled it."  Good. Vague. He could make of that what he will, but Reek was hard pressed to let this turn into a situation.  

"I'm Reek. I lead this eclectic band of merry has-beens," he introduced after a quick beat. It was a bit ironic to say the least, because the wolves of the maplewood had been anything but merry lately. "And I need you to look up for me."  He pointed to the overcast sky above with his muzzle. The light wasn't bright, but it would be enough to check for pupil dilation.
