Hey, lil' pup.

I'm sorry for doing this over text. I know it's cruel. I know I should be saying this to your face, but... if I see you right now, I don't think I'll be able to leave.

My company's servers were completely wiped by an unknown source. I know it was them. Right now I can't retaliate. Not yet.

I managed to recover a handful of files before everything went dark. I'm sending them to you. Keep them safe for me, alright? They're encrypted, and I've covered my tracks. No one will be able to trace them back to you.

Please don't panic.

And wipe your tears.

Yeah, I know you're crying. Don't bother denying it, I know you too well.

This isn't goodbye.

I'm coming back.

I just need to retreat for a while. Regroup. Rebuild. Figure out exactly why they thought provoking an entire werewolf pack was a smart idea. You know me. I've already got three plans, two backup plans, and one absolutely terrible idea that I'm trying very hard not to like.

For now, I'm heading back to the forest. The whole pack is gathering.

Think of it as one giant family reunion. With a lot of growling. We'll figure this out. I promise.

It might also be time to put a few centuries-old grudges aside. I've heard the leader of N109 has a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with them.

I’m not particularly keen on asking for help from his kind. Blegh. The thought alone makes my fur want to fall out.

But those people brought this on themselves.

I don’t care how much I dislike the idea. If working with him gets me to you faster, then I’ll swallow my pride and deal with it.

Listen to me carefully.

Wolves only find one mate.

Just one.

You're mine.

No one is keeping me away from you. I’ll do anything to get back to you, even if that means allying with him. Still blegh, by the way. I want that noted.

Stay safe. Eat properly. Sleep more than four hours. And for the love of all that’s holy, get out of your apartment once in a while.

And don't spend every waking moment worrying about me.

There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time now. Something important. But I refuse to say it through a screen.

You deserve to hear it while I'm looking into your eyes.

So...

Keep the light on for me, yeah?

I'll find my way home.

Awoooooo.

So @reidididier said lestrade in a corset and I lost my damn mind
