The new year rolled around and humanity celebrated as humanity does. Loud, bright, alive. One of those nights that is alive as the day. When humanity is out and about into the early hours and there are o so many lights and so much noise.
To much noise for some. So its a few nights later when the pack are individually visited by a black cat that makes itself known. To the new members of the pack the cat leads them to the pack's turf. To the other members of the pack it simply makes sure that its presence is known. To Hector, well Hector wakes up to the smell of cat urine nearby and several sets of glowing eyes in dark shadows.
As each member of the pack arrives at their turf the cat leading them, if there is one, hops onto a pile of loose stones and walks into the singular black cat that is sitting at the top. If no cat lead them then they find the singular cat sitting at the top of the stone pile. For Hector the cats walk single file into the singular cat that sits comfortably atop the pile.
Near the pack's turf, very near, but not just on the pack's turf the city has placed up a large sign with a notice about future development.
