Rhett

"Then we have our answers. An insider has done it and we have to find them. You have to set aside the notion that you all aren’t capable of evil. People change."
The meeting room buzzed with agreement and disagreements.
"Who could have done such?"
"I don’t know anyone of our kind capable of such!"
"It’s not us, is it, Dyla?"
The fairies sure didn’t know how to be composed. Rhett sighed, rubbing his temple. Farkas took to speaking.
"We will begin to conduct the investigation now. One person after the other. You will all be summoned to the investigation room, so get ready." He stood up and adjusted his clothes, turning to Rhett.
Rhett nodded at him. There was no point in this meeting any longer. They needed to proceed to the next phase.
The Delta cleared his throat. "I guess this is where I leave you guys to your jobs."
"Thank you so much, Bain." Farkas shook his hands.
The Delta chuckled. "Oh, come on, Farkas. We are all doing the pack’s jobs."
Rhett also shook his hand but didn’t say a word to him and only watched him leave with some other officials who weren’t needed anymore. He wished Darius was following them out right now.
The fey wouldn’t stop their murmurs and chattering and Rhett just let them be.
"Alistair, send them into the investigation room one by one. I and Farkas will handle the investigation." He informed.
Darius’s whistle and a toss of Rhett’s shoulder stirred anger within him. "What do you mean you will handle the investigation, Gamma Rhett? I will handle the investigation and you.." He pointed at Rhett. "Will follow my lead. You too." He sealed it off by pointing at Farkas.
"This is my job, Darius. You are here to supervise and not meddle." Rhett tried so hard to contain his growing irritation as he said.
What followed was a short mock chuckle that emanated from Darius. "It seems you are forgetting your place, aren’t you, Rhett? Do you need me to remind you that YOU are the Gamma and I, the BETA?!"
"I know very well what I am. That is why I am telling you that handling security matters is my job. The Alpha sent you here to supervise, not to ruin things." Rhett countered but unlike Darius, he looked calm and spoke gently despite his anger.
"Look, Argus, aren’t they the violent ones?"
"What are they doing?"
"I thought they said we are the troubles?"
"Are they fighting themselves?"
