Trinity
~~
When Reece and I went back into my office, I saw that the group of collaborators had split into smaller subgroups with their heads bent over tables that someone had brought in during my absence. When he saw me, Gabriel ran toward my side and lowered his head.
“Trinity, I hope you do not mind. We brought the tables in so that we could get straight to work.” He must have felt it when I thought about the tables. Either that or he just knew that I would wonder why they were there.
“What are they working on?” Reece asked him as he looked around the room, but I felt like I already knew. I didn’t doubt my people at all, so I knew what Gabriel was going to say. And before he even had the chance, I told Reece what was going on.
“They are listing all the people in politics around the world that are one of ours. They are making a list of allies to help with what we need to do next. Isn’t that right, Gabriel?” I looked up at him, into those hazel eyes of his and saw the smile that told me that I was right.
“Yes, Trinity, that is exactly what they are doing. And they are also inviting them all here to talk to you. I told them to wait on making travel arrangements for the time being though. I don’t want to sound presumptuous with your powers, Trinity, but I know that this is a matter of great importance, and we do not have a lot of time to wait. I was thinking that you would rather bring them here yourself than take the extra time for them to fly here. And not only that, but then there is a record of all these wealthy politicians coming to the city. Given what is going on at the moment, I didn’t really think that those records would be a good thing.”
“No, you did the right thing, Gabriel. I will bring them all here myself. You are right in thinking that we do not need the NSA to know that they all came to the city. That would not bode well for them. If the NSA starts to investigate them as well as us, then our advantages will crumble.”
…..
“Very well.” He nodded his head at me, the relief in his eyes was only a slight change. He had known that he was doing the right thing, he just needed to confirm it with me first. “I will alert the others and have them tell the dignitaries and politicians to be ready for a meeting this evening. I am assuming that even those in Asia will be requested for that time. Shall we schedule the meeting for eight this evening? That way most of the men and women will still be awake, or already waking up tomorrow morning.”
“For some, yes. The ones in the United Kingdom and surrounding areas will need to stay up late or wake up really early.” I agreed with him.
“Are you prepared for a meeting this evening, Trinity?” Reece asked me with a worried look on his face. “Will you be ready?”
“Does that matter, Reece? I am the queen here. I need to be ready for whatever is thrown my way. And we don’t have the luxury of time right now. We need to hurry. Now, that isn’t to say that we can rush this and not be prepared. I will spend the rest of the time between now and then thinking about what I need to say. I know the general essence of it, but not the whole speech.”
“Don’t worry about that, Little Bunny, you always make the best speeches when you don’t even plan on them.” Reece smiled and thought that would make me feel better. When the look on my face didn’t change at all he looked a little worried. “Oh, come on, I was just trying to say that you thrive under pressure. I didn’t mean anything else by that, honestly.”
“I know, Reece.” I took his hand in mine. “Come on, we have a list of attendees to make.”
Together, Reece, Gabriel and I walked to where the others were. There were more politicians than I thought, or maybe it was just that seeing them all written down made for a longer list then I had thought it would be.
In the United States alone, there were two hundred and fifty-seven members of congress that were shifters. Honestly, that was nearly half of the people that voted for the changes in laws for the country. And it was way more than I thought it would be. In truth, I was very happy that my people were so interested in politics because, without them, I might not be able to make this happen.
On top of those members serving in congress, there were a dozen mayors, six governors, and several people on smaller councils around the country. The mayors would be included later, the council members not as much. The governors would be useful though, since they included some of the larger states in the country. I was glad that we had them on our side to help in this endeavor.
Outside of the United States, I needed to focus mostly on those that were close enough to the top to change things, as well as those that were actually in charge of what was going on. We needed people that could make and enact policies, not just people that were going to be ignored.
I was happy that after Prince William took the throne several years back, I think it was in the beginning of twenty-four, he made some changes. And one of the changes that he made was appointing a new Prime Minister. That Prime Minister was Ginnette Westmont, and she formed a cabinet that was, for the most part, all shifters. Just like her. In the aftermath of the war-torn Ukraine, the new president of their people was a Vampire by the name of Mykola Petrenko. He would be on our side because he, like so many of us, hated to see the suffering of our people.

In Japan, the royal family, which was more of a figurehead than anything, had become mixed with our kind about ten years ago when Prince Hisahito married a Japanese wolf shifter. He has visited us many times, and his current standings in the community make it so that a lot of the citizens, and the politicians, listen to what he has to say. Honestly, there will probably be less opposition to our reveal in Japan than the US.
There were others that were part of their upper echelon that might be able to help us, but we needed to get them here first. And that meant that I needed to open a lot of doors for these people tonight. And, on top of that, I needed to tell them all that the secret that we had hid from the humans for at least a millennium was about to be revealed by a meddlesome NSA agent and a band of overly curious assholes. Too bad they were a bunch of assholes that were good at their jobs. That just meant that we needed to take them all seriously.
In the time that we had between the making of the lists, and the invitations being sent to the others across the globe, I had Reggie and Darrol come up from the FBI office that they worked at. Not the one here in Colorado Springs, but up in Denver. The two of them were going to be doing some counterintelligence for me. And, by that, I mean that they will be looking into the agents that were looking into us. Maybe, with their help, we could see what it is that they had on us already.
I needed to have a lot of things to be prepared for this evening. And those things also included an entire computer setup for Darrol and Reggie. Darrol was the one that was going to be doing the bulk of the hacking, but I thought that he would be more comfortable here if he had a buffer around him, like Reggie. He was still a little scared around Vincent and the others. Especially Gabriel.
I didn’t do much throughout the afternoon as the others prepared for the meeting that would be happening this evening, but I was working on what I needed to say. This was always the hardest part of being in charge. I mean, who wanted to be the one that had to write speech after speech. I knew that I didn’t, but this was my job, nonetheless. And I would do my job as I needed to.
When the kids got home from school at their various times, they were told that Mommy and Daddy were in the office. And all of them came down at some point to see what was going on. I knew that they were worried about Reece and I going back to work. They probably thought that we were going to be gone for long periods of time again soon. Even Reagan and Rika looked worried about what was going on.
Seeing the looks in their eyes as they came to see me, I knew that there was something that I needed to talk to them about. Even with how young Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley still were, they needed to know what was going on. They all needed to know. And I wasn’t going to hide it from them. I was not going to hide this from them.
