As you can see with our choice of Miss Laroux, we’ve gone beyond that for some of our choices,” he answers, the mirth having left his voice.  “Besides, our first choice is no longer a minor.”  He flips the page.  “Miss Rachel Masters, recently a ward of the state, she turned eighteen only two months ago.  She can assume a wolf form and a wolf/human hybrid form along with her own human form, she’ll make an excellent tracker and scout for the team.”“Ah, the werewolf girl that found that boy in the snow last winter,” Haynes says.“What sort of training does she have?  This team isn’t the place for scared little girls to learn about their new elite powers,” Richards interjects.“I was the only fully trained elite at the formation of American Freedom, Senator Richards,” Jennifer replies.“But we have so much more to choose from now.  I’m going to vote against allowing her on the team,” Richards answers.Clark smiles.  “That’s your prerogative, let’s have a vote then.  All against?”  Three members raise their hands.  “All for?”  The other seven respond.  “That settles that then.”San Francisco, CaliforniaAllan’s Diner0815 hours, PDT, Thursday, July 10th, 2014Rachel stands behind a counter, wearing a pinstriped uniform and apron, staring at nothing in particular, lost in thought.  A loud noise shakes her out of it.“I said ‘order up’, Masters!  Get your bony ass up here, I don’t pay you to stare out into space!”  Allan, the cook and manager of the greasy spoon you now work at is yelling at you again.  He likes to yell.  But you better comply, someone’s bacon and eggs is getting cold.</blockquote>
