“I do not know.” And that is what scares me. “We have beaten
off these attempts so far. Going forward I will not be so defen-
sive, however. I believe we will offer some challenges to Clan
Widowmakers’ holdings on Dagda. Let them feel some of our fury
on our terms. I grow tired of playing defense. It is time to let them
wonder what our next actions are.”

Wolverine Khan said plainly. “Someone has been spying on
our Clan from within. I learned of this through recent conver-
sations. I have no idea if this surveillance is limited, or part of a

“In the months to come Franklin, I am going to be asking a lot of
you. For now what I need you to do is to ensure the safety of our
people. I am going to give you a wide latitude in regard to this. Do
not fail me now. Remember, you are bound to the Wolverines. We
are your heart and soul. We are your family through blood and
battle.”
“Yes sir. But my Khan, perhaps this is not a task a Warrior should
undertake. Surely there are others that have better experience in
such areas.”
