his chest and looked at Abel.
    "Love? Happiness? Joy? Peace? What does a man search for?" Cain asked.
    Damian ignored him. "Abel? What am I looking for?"
    Abel waved his hand in a dismissive gesture. "Answers to the riddle of what makes them scratch?"
    Intrigued, Damian pulled up a wooden crate and sat. In this position he looked up to the men and noticed they were almost identical twins. Both wore their white hair in a long braid, and had deep grooves in their cheeks. Two pairs of faded blue eyes stared down at him. "Yes, Sir, that's what I'm looking for. La Patron set me on this task and I cannot fail him."
    At the mention of La Patron the men inhaled deeply and then released slowly. "Silas is now La Patron," Cain said in a tone filled with warmth. "It's been centuries since I've seen him. Is he well?"
    "You know him? I mean before? When he came to this country?" Damian couldn't believe it, but it was possible.
    Abel chuckled. "Yes, we met him when he first arrived up north. He wasn't exactly sure then how to fulfill his quest. It was obvious he was in over his head."
    "Although he'd been born Alpha, he'd never been in charge of a pack before, came here green," Cain said, smiling.
    "My sire works in the compound with La Patron, I lived there until this assignment and I can assure you La Patron's not green," Damian said, salty over the criticism.
    "Don't get riled, pup. Silas didn't remain green long, in fact what he did in this country is legendary, as is the man himself. We've served him on many occasions, and count him as a friend," Cain said.
    "When was the last time you talked to him?" Damian wanted to hear more about the young Silas Knight.
    "Talked?" Cain rubbed his chin. "Over a hundred years for sure."
    Abel nodded.
    "Hawke? " Damian called his sire.
    " Damian?"
    "Can you verify two men named Cain and Abel who claim to know La Patron. Their scents are slightly different; it could be their ages. But before I accept any information from them I'd like to have them verified."
    "Good thinking, hold on ."
    A few seconds later, La Patron brushed against Damian's beast. " Steady, I just need to see who you're looking at. If these two are who I think, they'll help solve this mystery for us. "
    Damian remained still as La Patron merged with his beast. "Thank you."
    The next second, Cain's eyes widened and so did Abel's. The two brothers smiled, laughed, and slapped their knees. Damian looked at Raoul and shrugged. He'd remain until he got the assistance La Patron promised. A few minutes' later Cain wiped his eyes and shook his head.
    Abel's gravelly voice fell into the silence. "Thank you, Damian. Silas is an old friend and our Alpha, as he so colorfully reminded us. There's no one better to lead our nation. He has some notion of us assisting you on this job and refused to listen to our objections. He's still stubborn I see."
    Cain chuckled. "Damn, he's still the same man at his core, he hasn't changed. I'm happy to see that."
    "As far as the itching that's attacked a few pack members, go back to the bitch's house. You started there and missed the answer, it's there. I can't tell you what it is exactly, but you overlooked it," Abel said.
    Damian told them everything he recalled about that investigation.
    Both men remained quiet.
    "She hid her scent?" Cain asked. He looked at Raoul, who stood with his hands jammed in his pockets.
    "Yeah." He told them about seeing her at the hospital as well.
    "Where are you headed now?" Abel asked, watching Raoul as well.
    Damian's gaze flicked to Raoul and then back at the two men. "Thom Viery was admitted this morning. We wanted to talk to his family, see if we could find a common thread."
    "That's good thinking, but a waste of time. You won't get answers that way. The person who's doing this wants something and has left several calling cards if you know how to look for them," Abel said.
    "Could you please return with us to that house? I'm not sure what exactly to look for," Damian asked,
