After James Green had read the news about what had occurred in Slough, he mumbled some seemingly incoherent things to himself, before heading straight towards his lab, completely ignoring his own son.

What the... I know it's shocking news but arent you overreacting, Dad? Tom wondered.

He had just read the headline, so he was now curious about what the article was about. That's when he learned everything he had missed, about the crazed Altered that were seemingly orphans, the new gang named the Howlers, and on top of that, the fact that there was a Wolf Altered in Slough.

I knew it! Tom inwardly shouted. I knew that Gary was hiding something! .. so he really did decide to join a gang! That's who all those other people were. Then they must have also been the ones responsible for what happened to the Grey colour gang, that means it was really him... but why?

Was it because he got the Werewolf powers? Did he think to himself that with great power comes great responsibility? But Gary..you don't seem like that type of person. I know you aren't. Otherwise, why would you choose to hide this secret from me?

Tom was trying to put himself in Gary's shoes, doing his best to understand why he had not shared everything with him. After all, he had already figured out his Werewolf identity, so surely he should have been someone his best friend could trust.

Wait his story about how he became a Werewolf? His part time job, was he already involved in all of that?

Ultimately, the only reason Tom could come up with, was that Gary must have stayed silent to protect him. Coming to this conclusion, a wide grin appeared on his face, and he almost got a tear in his eye.
