  Meanwhile, back in Brighton, on the street where the house of Carmen's lives, someone is walking upfront. The person walking toward the door of the house is a person that weights around 150 or so pounds. He has a long black hair with a small beard, grey eyes, glasses that can help this man see better, and wears some usual clothes, that doesn't attract to much attention. Usual clothes that most people are taking to make a stroll around their city.

  The person, once it arrived at the door of Carmen's home, he hesitates a bit to knock on the door, then the man knocks at the door. After he knocked three times, he hears the footsteps approaching the door. The man stands still, and waits for the door to open. It appears the man has a sport bag on his left hand, meaning he may have some serious business with the occupants of that house.

  Carmen's Mother's, opens the door, and she is delighted to see who is at the door. She, with a smile says the name of the person.

  "Al."

  "Hey, sister." says the man, hugging the mother of Carmen. "How are you?"

  "Good, good. How about you?"

  "I came with business." says the man named Al, putting the sports bag down, near the door. The bag is closed, so the woman cannot see the content.

  The woman, she sighs, and she asks his brother.

  "Another creature appeared in Brighton?"

  "No, no." says the man entering the house, taking off his jacket and putting on the chair he is going to sit in the living room. "Your daughter is handling well."

  "Carmen?" asks the mother surprised to Al. "You knew about her transformation?"

  "Yes. But that is old news." he sits on the chair, and looks at his sister, who is also sitting on a sofa, near the chair. "She told you about it?"

  "No. I pretend I didn't know. Not until I saw the doll of the Vewolf walking on the midnight, searching for beans."

  "Ha. She managed to seal the parasite into the doll."

  "Thanks to our old mentor." says Carmen's mother.

  "Yeah. He also told me the process. The entire process."

  "He also told me that. But when he does something like this again, I would rather tell him to say this after my shift hours. Not on my working time. You know how hard it is to clean the dirt he left on the hotel."

  "Why don't you come back to hunting, sister?"

  "You know why, Al. After what happened to him. I don't want to."

  "But. What are you going to do with carmen, when she will arrive?"

  "I will present her truth. That is why I called you in the first place."

  Carmen's mother raises from her seat, she goes into the kitchen and start to prepare the coffee for her and her brother, after this expected visit.

  "Did you know your daughter is on campaign?" says Al when Carmen's Mom arrived at the kitchen, carrying a tray with coffee mugs, milk glass and sugar cubes for the coffee.

  "No." says carmen's Mom surprised as she is laying down the tray on the coffee table. "She told me she'll go on a school holiday."

  "Are you going to punish her?" asks Al.

  "Depends on her implications of the said campaign. Where is she fighting by the way?"

  "In Scotland. Kills zombies."

  "She got it easier. All four teams in, there right?"

  "Yes. All four. With two leaders and experienced hunters from what I can recall from Supernatural Hunters United Kingdom Report Hub."

  "I can't wait to see her face when she realize I knew about all of this."

  "Where is her Vewolf though?"

  "He probably remained on the base of the team she is working with."

  "That is good." says Al putting three cubes of sugar onto his coffee.

  The two siblings are drinking their coffee, watch some TV to make time pass, and starts some small chit-chatting about their life, the city, the infrastructure and family. Not talking much about the Supernatural hunting thing because of some obvious reasons.

  After a few minutes, the football game ends, with both teams, having a great time and knowing more about each other than before this whole campaign. Carmen did have a good time playing with Kyle and with Hannah. After the game, these three hunters are staying on the park bench.

  "How many hours we have until the last wave?" asks Carmen.

  "About six hours I think." says Hannah to Carmen.

  "Any idea what to do now?" asks Carmen to his friends.

  "No." says Kyle.

  "Me neither." responds Hannah.

  "Have you people ever encountered an alien?" asks Hannah to make a conversation.

  "We did." says Carmen and Kyle almost at the same time.

  "Really? How was it?"

  "They were coming only for a research or something like that." says Kyle to Hannah. 

  "Did they look like in media?"

  "Pretty much." says Kyle to Hannah. "Me and Carmen we were seeing them that day at Brighton Pier. You know it, right?"

  Hannah shakes her head in agreement.

  "They were trying to capture the Prime Minister if I remember correctly. But we've stopped them on time, locked them up, and next day they were sent back to their planet. What happened to them is unknown to us."

  "You participated in there?" asks Hannah to Carmen.

  "I did." responds Carmen. "But I'd rather not talk about it."

  "Something bad happened there?"

  "My superpowers were uncontrollable back then. I lost control of them and almost killed the three aliens."

  "Oh. Alright." says Hannah who is feeling a little anxious by this.

  "Don't worry." says Carmen to Hannah. "I can now control my Vewolf abilities. As you've seen in our mission."

  "I see."

  After a few seconds, a familiar face appears in the Park, that familiar face is Navylian. He came in here looking for him members of the team he is leading in Brighton.

  "Guys! We have a problem."

  "What is it, sir?" asks Kyle raising from the park bench fast and looking at Navylian.

  "The zombies… Have been eradicated." says Navylian.

  "What?" asks Kyle. "By whom?"

  The other two hunters are looking curios at each other, then they look at Navylian, who is looking tired. Then, the leader of Team 4 tells the three hunters.

  "By aliens."

  "Why have aliens done that?" asks Kyle curios.

  "I don't know. They've told us they are taking the remaining zombies for examinations and experiments in the future. They've even talked with the higher ups from Supernatural Hunters organization about this issue. Which they've agreed, a weird thing to be honest."

  "And what are we doing?" asks Hannah.

  "Apparently we can go back home. The higher ups have guaranteed us they will add another ten pints to our ranking besides the ones we've earned."

  "Ten points?" asks Carmen surprised. "That's good."

  "Wait until you'll get at my ranking, kid." he looks at the Tavern they have stayed the entire weekend. "Get your stuff. I've also told Louis about this."

  "We're going home?" asks Carmen.

  "Yes." says Navylian, and he looks with a smile at Carmen. "And by the way, you've passed the physical exam. Now in March you'll have the writing exam. It is on 14 March, in London."

  "Really?" asks Carmen surprised.

  "Yes."

  "Thank you, sir!" says Carmen doing a bow to her leader.

  "Now. You should all go back to Tavern and get your things. We'll be about to head home via the portal." he looks at Hannah. "You should also head back to Tavern. Your team is waiting for you."

  "Thank you, sir!" says Hannah who is raising from her park bench seat and runs toward the Tavern.

  Navylian, Carmen and Kyle are following the trail of Hannah, all three going to Tavern to get their things and head back to their home.
