“Let’s go,” Caden said, his voice sharp, eyes locking with Jones. The silent command was clear; lead the way.

Without hesitation, we followed, making our way toward factory one.

“Who’s in charge of the raw materials?” Caden asked, his eyes scanning the documents Jones had handed him.

“That would be Alissa,” Jones replied, his tone steady. “She oversees all raw material procurement for the Fostrau site.”

“All of them?” I raised an eyebrow, glancing at Jones. “If procurement’s the problem, why is only factory one affected?”

“Alissa’s been with us for years,” Jones shrugged slightly, unconcerned. “She’s handled the sourcing for as long as I can remember. I don’t think she’s the issue.”

I nodded, processing his words. “Where is she? I’d like to speak with her.”

Without missing a beat, Jones pulled out his phone and dialed. “Alissa, please come to my office.”

Ten minutes later, a middle–aged woman entered–a werewolf with a strong build and a warm presence. Her curly hair framed her face, softening her features, and her steps were calm but purposeful.

“Alissa, Mr. Holbrook and Ms. Sinclair are here,” Jones introduced us with a nod. Then he turned to Alissa. “They’ve come to discuss the issues with the raw materials for Ice and Fire.”

Alissa bowed her head slightly, her expression filled with regret. “I apologize, Mr. Holbrook. I’m responsible –for the raw materials, and I take full responsibility. However, I assure you, the materials were sourced
