what kind of girl do you take me for?

Harley Keller and, yeah, I've heard all the jokes. I'm 27, Vegas is home but everybody needs a change of scenery once in awhile. I'm a Saloon Girl at the Outlaw and that's where you'll most likely find me. Harley. 27. Delta. Werefox. "There's a muddy line between the things you want and the things you have to do."

Colton: What, Emma Lee doesn't do that for ya?

Harley: Emma's at work when I wake up.

Colton: Sleepin the day away ain't gonna do nothin' for you. It'd do you some good to get up earlier. I know you work late, but sleepin' in till past noon ain't gonna do anything for you.

Harley: I work late, get up whenever my alarm goes off and go about my day as usual. The only thing that's changed is my alarm. I don't have anyone jumping on my bed to wake me up anymore.

Colton: You ain't doin' nothin' anyways. I'll pay you.

Harley: I like my sleep schedule.

Colton: Reckon' you could use somethin' to keep you busy. We're undergoing health inspections soon here at the Hollow 'an Scarlett needs a helpin' hand.

Harley: You have employees for that. I have my own job.

Colton: How's everyone doing?

Harley: Sleeping.

Colton: Make sure Rose 'an Emma Lee are ready by the time you are. Don't want y'all bein' late tonight.

Harley: I'm never late. Everyone else is early. And we do happen to be "late" it's because Em has to go through 34 outfits before she finds one that says she didn't try on 34 outfits.

Colton: Obviously I ain't about to go in, guns blazing. I'm not an idiot.

Harley: Well, you did eat some funky berries, bossman.

Colton: Then I guess we gotta do somethin' bout him.

Harley: You need proof that he's something first. Talk to Harmony, she might know something since they live together.

Colton: Scarlett is in and out with him, Harley. When I said I have eyes on both Scarlett and Savannah, it is because Scarlett lives here, as well as Savannah. If you don't think I can take care of my Troop, then you are mistaken.

Colton: What reason do you have for thinkin' Lance Davis is a hunter?

Harley: Then that was all that you had to say to me, Colt. I ask a question, I get an answer. You ask a question, you get an answer. No problems in communication and everything stays nice and calm between everyone.

Harley: He fits some of the criteria that we had. Tall human male. I was in that hospital with Rev for days and I watched him watch the rest of us.

Harley: He could be a normal person, he could be something. You told us to keep our eyes open, I keep my eyes open. I don't have a reason to scratch him off one list or another so I haven't scratched him off.

Colton: I'm protecting my family the best way I know how. I'm diggin' deep for the information that nobody has, Harley. Nobody knows what is going on. There have been attacks, which none of us know by /what/ exactly, and a 'horse is dead. You think I'd keep y'all in the dark with any information I found out regardin' that? Then you've got another thing coming, 'cause I ain't about to leave my family in the dark.

Harley: Then answer my question. Who's with Rev? Who's protecting Rev? He wouldn't stay at the Hollow with you and he wouldn't stay with Rose. He wouldn't leave Harmony and if you tell me that you let him stay with two humans, one who was attacked, regardless of the fact that she's his sister, and one who could possibly fit the criteria for being a hunter, then, Colt, we have an issue.

Colton: Trust builds, or haven't you noticed? You were my Beta once upon a time, Harley. If I did not trust you, I wouldn't have thought you were fit for that position. It's you who's skewed on the ideals of trust.

Colton: Rose Nelson is not your Alpha, last I checked.

Colton: Keep this up and it's straight to the cage, Harley. You keep questioning me, and you will get answers you don't like.

Harley: I have a lot of reasons for the way that I am, Colt, just like how I have a lot of reasons for trusting the people that I do trust. And you're right, she's not my Alpha, but she's someone that I trust.

Harley: If questioning you because I'm worried about how protected my family is gets me in trouble, then so be it, Colt. I want to be able to protect my family, I can't do that if I don't know what's going on.

Colton: It's a two way street, Miss Keller. You can go ahead and contact either Scarlett or I, that's fine. We're around. We're /always/ around. I stay up day 'an night, trying to figure out what it is that's going on. You wanted normal. You complained about the fact that you have to stay with Rose, so I am trying to give you normal. You're all going through things of which I don't understand, so why don't you try to make me understand? It takes two to tango. I contacted all y'all earlier, ain't got a response back yet. 'Sides this one concernin' Tori Pierce's death. Don't you say I don't try, because damn do I.

Colton: You're worried 'bout gettin' kidnapped, or one of ours gettin' hurt, correct? Why do you think I got you livin' with Rose? Somebody who can protect y'all, should somethin' happen. I got Scarlett and Savannah here with me, and as far as Reverie goes, he is taken care of. Y'all think I'm some kind of idiot, don't you?

Colton: Yeah? Maybe it is just you, 'cause the Troop? It's family. You are my family, and I am yours. We ain't got nothin' but each other, you got that? I know you believe in alliances, and so do I. I don't think they're a bad thing, but at the end of the day I am a fox, and so are you. Ain't nothin' keepin' a wolf or a bear or hell, even a 'horse runnin' in the other direction when the tough gets going, and you know that. They take care of their own before others, and that's what I intend on doing. I intend on keepin' y'all alive, and if I have to do it by my lonesome, then hell, I will.

Colton: Tomorrow night. Troop dinner. Do not be late.

Harley: You know what else is a two way street? Trust. You didn't trust me when I came here, I've got the mark on my neck to prove it. Do you trust me now?

Harley: Let's be honest, Colt. You'd prefer to deal with me when I'm not a wreck over Jesse because you don't understand that and you never will. You want me to sit down and tell you what's wrong with me? I won't, because you won't understand. Rose understands it. And at least I don't feel like I'm going to get in trouble with someone when I tell her what's wrong with me. I don't feel threatened talking to Rose.

Harley: So who's with Rev? Because last I checked, there's only seven of us. Two groups of three makes six and that leaves Rev on his own. Or maybe you could tell me who's looking out for him, Colt? You wanna say that I'm his family and he's mine? I protect my family and I don't see any "family" with him.

Harley: Then I am the only one. Fine with me.

Harley: I'm never late.

Colton: What do you think I've been doing, Harley? I've been stayin' up night 'an day tryin' to figure out what the hell is going on around here. You can't plan for chaos. You can prepare for it, but you can't plan on what's gonna happen afterwards. What I'm tryin' to do is keep y'all alive. I've got a mind to lock y'all away in Rose's house and set some goddamn booby traps 'round her property. I don't want to see y'alls hide tacked onto the Hollow, you understand? I am tryin' my best and so is Scarlett. We are doing what we can to understand what is goin' on, but there ain't much to go off of.

Harley: I don't see either of you asking any of us what we think about this, Colton. I don't see either of you coming out to talk to us and make sure that we're all doing okay, that we're all making it through the days alright. Maybe we don't know shit, but at least you'd know what was going on in our lives, how we're doing and how we're handling things. Instead, I see you and Scarlett at the Hollow. I don't hear anything from either of you.

Harley: And as for putting us in one location and setting up some booby traps? Why not just make it easier for them to take us all out if they wanted? There'd be six of us sitting in a house like dumb sheep. I've got an apartment in town that I haven't been to in weeks for multiple reasons, but yet, here I am, still in town, still working and living here, but I still pay rent for a place that I don't live in.

Harley: We're not dealing with some guy who dresses himself up in furs and calls me Anne fucking Marie so that he can have his fantasy wedding. We're dealing with someone who has the ability to both email and text everyone in this town at their own free will. Three people have almost died, Tori is dead, and what is everyone in this goddamn town doing? Minding their own goddamn business.

Harley: You have a fucking sleuth, a troop, a pack, and a herd in this place as well as however fucking many individuals. Maybe it's just me who thinks that team work or some bull shit like that would be a great fucking idea right about now. End of the day, we're all goddamn lycans that are being hunted down, but hey, they're not 'foxes so what the hell does that matter, Colt? Right? End of the day, they're not foxes and they're not your family, so what do they matter?

Harley: I'm going to bed. Have a good night, Colt.

Colton: What is your plan then?

Harley: Maybe... try to find out who this is? Maybe find what it is they want? Unless you and Scarlett have decided to do that already and just haven't said anything to the rest of us.
