Chapter 821: Chapter 6- Reece – Quarterly Reports (VOLUME 5)

~~

Reece

~~

A lot of things have changed in our home over the last ten years or so. I still owned and operated my company, but I was more of a figurehead in it now. What I usually did now was partic.i.p.ate in the ruling of our kingdom. My Little Bunny was the queen, the matriarch of our society. She was the one that everyone looked up to. That was never going to change at all.

I, on the other hand, was the king. I was her second in command. And part of my duties was taking reports that came in from different officials every quarter. There would be reports on the number of births, the number of deaths, new powers discovered, problems that had occurred. It was all very tedious and boring most of the time, but I never complained about it. If I didn’t do this part of the job, then my Little Bunny would have to do it herself. Or she would need to find someone else that could handle it for her.

Another reason why I didn’t mind doing this part of my job, was that after I received the reports, I needed to compile them into a report and deliver that to my queen. Well, I didn’t need to write the reports down since I had someone to do that for me. I could just deliver an oral report to her and that allowed me to have some more alone time with her. And it also kept other people away from her. It was a win-win situation. I got to be with my wife more and other men didn’t need to bother her.

Right now though, I was stuck listening to a lot of reports from a lot of boring people. In total, there were about three dozen people that needed to give their reports. These people were each responsible for different parts of the world and had a lot of information to share with us. And I was truly thankful that we all shared that translator power from Trinity. Without that, we would all be lost right now.

.....

I was also thankful that I had Noah here with me. He was the one that was going to be typing up the report that these men and women were giving to us. He would give a copy of it to me, to Trinity, and to the records keepers in the castle. We had quite the extensive records room. We needed to be thorough after all. We needed to know how many of us there were at any given time. We needed to know where the bulk of our community was. And we needed to be able to mobilize people in any given community at any time. So, to more effectively run the kingdom, we had to be meticulous about it all.

That extensive records room was staffed with a dozen different people. There were werewolves, were-bears, were-felines, were-birds, witches and Fae. Literally two of each that would keep track of different things. They should be here with us for this report, but nope, that wasn’t how things had been set up.

Oh well. It was just another boring meeting for me. I was used to them. I have been having boring meetings for well over twenty years now. Thankfully my looks hadn’t faded over all these years. I had only aged maybe five years worth since I had met my Little Bunny. She had been very good to me in so many ways.

The reports were about two thirds of the way over. The ones that were more local had gone first. All of North America and then South America. Africa followed after that and then Australia. We were about halfway through Europe now and I was fighting not to fall asleep. Well, I had been fighting it. But that changed when I heard some of what the man was saying to me now.

“There have been at least three murders that have occurred lately, King Reece. I am not sure if they are related, but they were reported to me by the Alphas and Coven leaders. These murders account for only a fraction of the deaths over the last three months, but I do think that we should look into them more.”

“Was any evidence found? Do the local packs have any clues as to who committed these murders?” I sat up in my seat and focused on him a little bit more.

“They believe that they are different perpetrators this time, King Reece. They were committed in vastly different areas and the victims were from different species. However, they were all members of our people.”

“I want full reports on all of these as soon as possible.” I didn’t like that people from my kingdom had been murdered. This was not good. It meant that either the killer was one of us or that there was a really dangerous human out there.

“Uhm, King Reece, Sir, might I say something.” A timid looking woman spoke with a Welsh accent.

“Yes, speak.” I commanded her. I could tell that she was scared of me, but I was too angry to care at the moment.

“Sir, there have been four murders in the United Kingdom. All of them are s.h.i.+fters. That was to be part of my report as well.”

“Are you serious?!” I could feel a sense of dread building up inside of me. “So there are multiple murderers out there?” My heart was racing. This was going to destroy my Little Bunny. I just knew that it was.

“My king, I am afraid that the same is happening in my territory as well.” Another man spoke up with his hand in the air.

“Mine as well, King Reece.”

“I was going to report the same.”

“Five different domains? There are murders in five different domains? And no one has notified us before now?”

“I did not know that it was happening elsewhere, Sir. I am so very sorry.” The man that spoke last, from the South East Asian territory, bowed his head in fear.

“It’s fine.” I shook my head as I settled against the back of my chair. “This is news to us all. But I can’t overlook this. I hope you all know that. I will be discussing this with Queen Trinity so that we can begin working on a plan of action. We will need to find these killers as soon as possible. I want all of you to send me as much information that you have on all of these murders. We need to see if any of them are related. My main interest here is that I protect my people. I refuse to let any of them live in fear of some unknown monster out there.”

“Yes, King Reece, understood.”

“I will begin working on that as soon as possible.”

“You will have them as soon as I send word.”

“Thank you for the help, King Reece.”

“As you wish, my king.” All five of them answered me with a simple nod of their head to accompany their words. After that, they all finished their reports.

I had to sit through at least another hour of the meeting, during which I heard just how many people had been murdered in our global community. Between the five different domains that had seen murders, there had been a total of eighteen people killed. This was no coincidence. And I don’t care what the others might think right now, there was no way that this was all done by different people. And if it was, then all of them were part of some group that was targeting us. They had to be. I mean, why else were so many people targeting the supernatural community.

Now, I needed to think about who this might be. Were they one of us? Were they a rogue from our community that was out to cause panic? Were they looking for a revolution? Were they simply trying to diminish our numbers? What was their goal here?

Since I couldn’t answer any of these questions, I felt the anger boiling inside of me. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I didn’t know if I should rush right off to see my Little Bunny to tell her about these killings, or if I should wait for the reports to arrive.

Knowing my wife though, she would likely be angry that I hid things from her. If I waited to tell her until after the reports, then she would think that I was saying she couldn’t handle this situation. And since I knew very well that she could handle it, I knew that I needed to tell her. I will do it tonight, after dinner. I didn’t want to ruin the rest of her day. I didn’t want her to-.

I stopped right there. If I waited. If I didn’t tell her the moment that she got home from her day out with Juniper, then she would be even more angry. It would still be me hiding it from her. It would still be me saying she couldn’t handle it. If I waited until after dinner, it would be like I was telling her she couldn’t hide her emotions so I had to withhold the information from her.

“Well, I guess I need to go see Trinity.” I sighed in defeat as the meeting ended. Every man and woman in the room, including Noah, looked at me with pity in their eyes. They didn’t want to be the one to tell their queen about these killings. They didn’t want to be the bearers of that kind of bad news. Gee, thanks everyone. I am so happy that I was chosen for this position. NOT!
