#13 of SRC - Meteor

This is an ongoing story I've been writing that occurs in the World of Veil continuum that is not part of any of my given serials. It is about a teenage human boy who stumbles through a curtain of magic to discover another world co-existing just off kilter from our own where he occasionally transforms into a reindeer who in turn joins others in the Stunt Core Union, and proceeds toward learning all the circumstances revolving around the work those in the Core do. This is Episode Two, Chapter Two. Enjoy.

Chapter Two**

When Meteor and Sledder did return from the mail run, there were a few new reindeer faces in the saloon portion of the headquarters. Codine was back from the detox clinic. Donder was standing next to a reindeer with crescent moon markings on his muzzle. And the new stunt reindeer in charge was an albino reindeer with piercing blue eyes. Unlike Blitzen he had a lightning mark in the center of his forehead. "Oh good, Sledder and Meteor are finally back. I am Whiteout. I know a funny name for a reindeer, but we each have our quirks. After Fenris arrested Thunder and took him away to see Santa, these other reindeer showed up. Most of them say they know you, Meteor."

Codine smiled as he gently brushed his nose against the side of Meteor's face. "Am I ever glad to see you. I finally got cleaned up. But Lunar, here, says he knows you far better than anyone does."

Lunar turned to look at Meteor as he said, "Son!" And he rubbed his neck against Meteor's neck.

Meteor smiled as he recognized the voice. "Dad! What are you doing here? Mom will flip out if we are both missing."

Lunar smiled as he pulled back and looked his son in the eye. "Wolfe explained things to me and then he told me how I could find you. So unless your mom knows to hit the ranger station, then we have some time. What's been going on here in the meantime?"

Meteor then explained everything that had been occurring since he joined the stunt reindeer core. "Apparently there is a huge plot going down, Dad. Codine may have been just one victim of this plot, but I think Dingle the Drug Elf had accomplices."

From the open doorway leading outside, Both Santa and Fenris were seen as Santa came inside and said, "Go on, Meteor, we're listening."

"That magic usurping doe, Dolene, who had recently taken over Adrian the reindeer Wizard's workshop in Ornament Valley was definitely acting suspicious since she had the balls to lob spells at Fenris while she was getting away from him. Braymeister was the one who told me that she had claimed Adrian's workshop after that reindeer disappeared mysteriously. I think Dolene is but one of the players in this plot. And now, normally stable-minded Thunder goes off the deep end with no explanation."

"Interesting that you should bring that up, Meteor," said Santa. "The doctors say that Thunder is affected by a drug like toxin which makes it so he cannot think properly and he may act in kind. So now, Thunder is in detox himself. If you are right, Meteor, then this drug gang is the biggest thing to hit the North Pole in quite a while."

Lunar looked out the door at the big wolf, "My son's ability to deduce things stems from my line of work back home where I was a private detective. If you wouldn't mind the assistance, perhaps the stunt reindeer core could double occasionally as your police force. Meteor told me you were the head of the Secret Police here at the North Pole. Would you accept my assistance in this case?"

Fenris smiled. "Your son has been invaluable here as of late and I am quite fond of him and his own brand of assistance. It is a good idea, otherwise the stunt core are not really doing a lot these days; most could use a good outing. If Santa will give his approval, I will swear in the stunt core as my secret police assistants."

Santa nodded his head. "Good assistance is hard to come by, Fenris, and they are offering to be that help. I will leave this up to you and the stunt core."

Fenris nodded his head. "With Santa as my witness, I Fenris, head of the secret police hereby accept the offered assistance of the Stunt Reindeer Core as members of my Secret Police Force. Lunar, since you have more knowledge of investigations among the reindeer, I will leave the education of investigation to you for teaching these other bucks. If you find anything out simple call my name into the forest, and I will come. I need to be going now before the elves try to decorate me again." And off he loped out of Christmas Town.

Santa looked to Lunar and said, "Mr. Falkner, I am aware of who you are and I am surprised you chose to come and join your son in this adventure. But your offer of assistance is greatly appreciated at this time. I will make certain the authorities back home do not interfere nor mark you people as deceased. I need to return to my workshop now." Then he called out, "Rudolph! Could you come down here, please!"

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer quickly leaped up and with Slyly the arctic fox hanging on to his back, he darted down the stairs. Soon, he was standing in front of Santa. "Yes Santa, your honor. Did you want me for something?"

Santa said, "While Lunar is educating the older stunt bucks in the art of investigations, I want you to travel along with Meteor, Codine and the other young bucks of their number. Primarily Meteor. Slyly, your job will be to find out whatever you can regarding this drug gang and how they are sneaking that vile stuff into Christmas Town. At best, they are in your territory without your permission. I will leave these things up to you." And then he departed to return to his workshop.

Rudolph looked to Meteor. "It will be fun getting to know you."
