Helen rode the streets of the Back Bay section of Boston in a semi-truck filled with three attack packs. The New Hampshire Covenant maintained control of the money through Helen. Wolfenstein was in charge of tactical decisions.
Wolf rode in the cab with Helen. Any conversation Helen initiated with the man ended in "yep," or "nope," or other short responses. Helen thought it might have been because she was the only woman on an excursion of all men, but Wolfenstein was that way with everyone.
The driver of the rig, Crucible, was sociable. The awkward, freckled-faced young man was more inclined to talk about himself and the events at hand, foregoing the quiet, macho routine Helen saw in the pack leaders. "This is the first time I've ever been in a big city. I'd hate to get lost here," stated Crucible.
"It's not so bad once you learn a few of the major arteries." Helen navigated the group using a detailed, city map on a pocket computer. Every street was marked.
Crucible chattered about the Tobacco War, his home in South Carolina; a friendly, gullible young man, he hadn't stopped talking since Helen had initiated the conversation. Helen asked him if he really might settle in Colebrook.
"I found my home," Crucible replied soundly. "My home is the Pack. And of course, the Pack is stationed in Colebrook. We share a common cause."
Wolfenstein pulled his gaze from the passing buildings and looked across the cab at the young man.
Crucible clarified his statement. "Well, it is." Wolf turned his gaze back to the window.
One thing was for sure: Wolfenstein was no dolt. He watched everything. When they passed a metal fabrication shop, he stopped and took Helen inside and purchased 2' x 8' sheets of plate steel to line the inside of the truck. Helen paid while Wolfenstein directed a welder to cut anchor holes in the iron for mounting. In forty minutes they were off again, heading to an electronic wholesale house The Wizard had indicated.
