The envelope was in the bottom drawer as promised, with her name printed on it in his neat compact script. By the time she got it Ash would already be on another island, hunting down a rogue vampire who had illegally turned a minor, but before leaving he had left instructions to her.

Dear Kota,
       Enclosed are copies of Elsas social security card, and drivers liscence obtained from Barbie from when she applied at the tattoo parlor. Use these to rewrite Elsa's paperwork so the coroner will turn her body over to the pack instead of to the state. Put the next of kin as Lyric O'Riley. She has a squeaky record and an upstanding past, no one will think twice about it, and her connection to us on this level is not obvious. This will keep everyone involved safe.
      While I am away I want you to canvas some of the oldtimers on the island, listen for rumors about wolves, attacks or just benign sightings. I want to get a picture of what the last pack here might have been like. Also, Mahina and Lani are both islanders. Speak to them and let them know that what they say to you they are saying to me, so their trust and honesty should be inherant.
     When I get back we'll take the next step with this. Just have the information ready.

Ash

p.s. Take care of Silent for me. She needs you right now.

The last he had paused before writing, not sure if he should. The truth was that the rift between Silent and Dakota was hurting both women, and Silent did need her friend with what was going on. With two psychopaths running around targetting pack members it was a time when none of them knew how much longer they might have together. Ash hoped that that last post script would be taken to heart and that the vargamore and lupa could find a way to come together during this tragedy.
