#Chapter 52- Savior

Ethan My teammates, men from the company, celebrate around me, clapping me on the back in congratulations. “Great game, Mr. Montgomery!” “That was an awesome last shot!” “We should play again sometime!” The sounds of victory echo through the stadium in the form of screams, trumpet horns, and whistles. The noise is deafening but in a good way. The excitement in the air is easy to scent, and I take in the pleasant smell. Of course, there’s also a tang of bitter disappointment hanging around the losing team and their fans, but it’s not unusual. It happens after every game. However, this time, the sharp, sour scent of hate filters into the air from the crowd. It’s a hate that is much too strong for a simple game. Looking around, I scan the crowd. There are so many people it takes me a minute to find the area where Fiona and Ryan had been, but I don’t see them. “Alpha, Fiona is missing,” Ryan says through our mind link. His words make me freeze and search the crowd.
