2015.08.14 - Quick Cut: Liam's Ticket North

**Emitter:** Jason Christopher

*Jason offers Liam a way to visit Washington, if he so chooses.*

August 14, 2015

Dunbar Residence, Beacon Hills

A nice looking is parked in front of the Dunbar residence. It appears from the license plates as if it might be a rental vehicle. Either that or the driver just keeps it in immaculate condition. Inside the living room, voices can be heard. Liam's father and someone else that Liam may well recognize. Upon entering Liam would find Jason Christopher just finishing a conversation with his father. The older Doctor stands up and shakes hands with Jason, who is somewhat different in appearance than normal.

Jason Christopher is wearing a nice, but inexpensive suit, of the type one might buy at a Men's Warehouse. His hair is combed back almost slick, and he is wearing a smart pair of glasses. The striped tie is a little loose around his neck, and most odd of all, he is smiling! "So to sum up Dr. Dunbar, I believe Liam would be an excellent candidate for our program. As you can see from our material we have a excellent success rate at assisting children in Liam's age group with IED problems." Jason gestures to a written paper on the coffee table. "His written essay explaining why he would like to come to the camp was very moving to our councillors. We currently have a weekend slot open, and based on his essay the camp would be willing to even provide transportation in exchange for the opportunity to use Liam's case for a study."

Dr Dunbar seems a little overwhelmed but nods his head as he looks over the assembled material in front of him. "Well, I'll speak to Liam, and see if this is something he wishes to pursue. School is starting soon and-" Jason nods cutting him off. "Yes he mentioned he will be very busy, with sports and extra curricular activities. This is just a chance for him to get away, maybe not even every weekend. Just think about it Dr. Dunbar." Jason checks his department store watch and clucks his tounge. "I apologize sir, but I need to be on the way to my last appointment of the day. It was very nice meeting you. I hope we get to see Liam." Smiling brightly he starts for the door, where he may just bump into Liam, who likely just heard all or most of the exchange.

Liam Dunbar doesn't have control of his powers yet but he heard his dad's voice from a while away and paused to listen to it. HE didn't however know Jason's well enough to be sure with it going in and out of focus as his hearing fluxuates since he doesn't have much focus or control yet. He does hurry a bit to see what's going on but doesn't come right up to the door instead he stays a way just a bit, after all if Jason is the awesome werewolf he claims to be, then he should be able to sense Liam just across the street. And Liam is easy to sense he smells of anxiety and teen angst, its almost palpable he'd just had the most amazing date with his boyfriend and right when it was about to get REALLY good Ethan had dropped the bomb on him. He was still in shock, and as that was wearing off ht wanted to punch things.

Jason Christopher steps out of the Dunbar house and is still walking in the animated manner of a carefree camp councillor that was just stopping by to recruit a potential camper. As he crosses the street he sheds the facade like a master actor dropping a role. He pauses by the car door and addresses the still hiding Liam. "Stay where you are just in case you father is looking out the window still. I am going to sit in the car and pretend to be taking some notes. I don't have long Liam, but you are going to have questions, and I need you to be aware of what just went on here." He unlocks the car and makes a show of using a iPad, as if he is taking notes. He casually rolls down the far window and says quietly. "Get in, so we can talk."

Liam Dunbar glares at the car for about a minute, and if teen angst could make something explode, then that rental car would be blasted to smitherines. Unfortunately for him he doesn't have that power. So after than minute he sneaks in on the far side and opens the door and sulks in the back seat, "Just checking If I try to eat you you're just gonna back hand me and send me flying right?" That glare really Look, seriously if looks could kill. He does go to pouting after a few seconds though, cause he already knows the answer. He might be young, rash, in love, and impulsive but he's only partially suicidal.

Jason Christopher waits for Liam to be seated in the car, watching the window of his parent's home to be sure they are not being observed. He gave Liam's father a lot to think about. Thankfully he knew a guy that could set up the websites, and make sure all the web searches and phone calls turned up exactly the information Jason wanted him to find. That Camp Hallet in Forks Washington was completely on the up and up and had a very good success rate at treating IED. Particularly in young male teenagers. Likewise 'Liam's essay' was a flawless example of Liam's writing style. Finding examples of it in Liam's room had been simplicity. "Liam I have just arranged for you to be flown up to see Ethan on weekends, when you are available. The trade off is simple. I want you to let me help you with your IED when you are there. It is dangerous for you Liam, and I am worried about you." He is apparently in a hurry and not planning to mince words. He looks into the back seat and shakes his head. "As to your question, no. I would never hurt you anymore than I would any other member of your pack."

Is confused after all you doesn't really know whats going on really, and his life has been so topsy turvy lately. He barely adjusts to one change... "I I can visit Ethan." Of course was the first thought that went through his... mind, or at least the organ that seemed to be doing his thinking lately. He then shakes his head "I mean I'll have to ask Scott and my dad. And still have to study for school and stuff." He looks up at you wanting to threaten you if you hurt ethan, but the thought about being able to see Ethan every weekend without having to sneak out of his room or pretend to be with his best friend... well. It has Liam VERY excited, in several ways that a wolf nose would pick up.

Jason Christopher continues to pretend to be looking up things on the iPad. He ponders telling Liam to control himself as he can smell the teenager's sex. But he stops himself, Liam is so young. He lets him have this moment without calling attention to it. "You wrote an essay to Camp Hallet. The staff was very impressed. Any weekend you are free and want to come up I'll have a private car pick you up, and drive you to a private jet. You'll be there in less than two hours." Not seeing anyone in the window he finally drops the pretense and just looks around at Liam to guage his reaction. "If any of the rest of your pack wishes to visit, well. It is a big car and a big plane. But, I knew this would be hard on you, and I was worried about how you would feel. You aren't being abandoned Liam. I wouldn't have allowed that to happen."

Liam Dunbar looks at Jason a bit and sighs, "I ... I hate all this... First I was great just a little angry, And the coach benched me for the whole season, and i kind of lost it with the crowbar... Then I get moved here, everything is looking good and they're talking about making me the captain of the Lacrosse team, Then suddenly I'm being attacked by a canibal thing and get bitted and become a werewolve... I finally start to get that under control a little and then I meet Ethan and he turns everything upside down again... And I start... Okay fine I fall in love with him... Then he leaves.... And I just...." He looks lost "I I can't stop him from going he wants to... You can help him or something... But he's not even gone yet and i miss him."

Jason Christopher takes a shallow breath, his voice that near hypnotically quiet tone. But the anger seems to be gone now. If anything there seems to b a measure of empathy. He reaches a hand back and gently places it on Liam's shoulder. There is a palpable power there, like touching a live wire connected to nature itself. The heart of the wolf. "Liam, Ethan is still with you even when you are apart. You'll still be able to see him, and I made sure he has wifi and cell reception so that he can contact you." It is almost as if his heartbeat thrums with a power that Liam can feel. The very same one that Ethan likely feels as well. "You are going to be alright. Your alpha is one of the best I have met in all of my life. And if you allow it, I will help you as well. Your father is largely convinced. He just needs to hear from you how much you want this."

Liam Dunbar was a teenager ad while he was truly smart, he didn't act like it often. "MY dad needs to hear how much I want to kiss my boyfriend? He doesn't even know I'm.... Oh oh yeah you mean the anger management thing. I'll try, but Scott has to say its okay too." He then closes his eyes and let the power touch him, and likewise his own potential was felt. Liam has amazing potential, the type of power and anger in him, makes him or atleast gives him the potential to be one of the strongest of his type of werewolf ever. Maybe not an alpha but a true beta a follower supported and protector of his pack. At hsi age Jason could backhand him, but in a decade or so things would likely be wildly different.

Jason Christopher smiles and can feel all that potential inside. Wrapped in and intertwined with the youth and the hormones and the ANGER. "The power I feel in you Liam. It is amazing, just amazing. It would be such a joy to help you find it and how to draw on it without it being a threat to you or anyone around you." He breaks the contact and smiles softly and it looks, well, genuine. "Talk to your father. Talk to Scott McCall. He is a good leader and I believe he will see the wisom in this." Jason looks at the car's digital clock. "Liam I must go, there is someone very much waiting for me in La Push and I have promised him I would be back later today." He takes out a card and offers it to Liam. A phone number is written on it in a near flawless script. "This is my cell phone number. Text, or call when you know if you are coming, and when. I'll arrange everything else."

Liam Dunbar simply nods, takes the card and walks out, he was exhausted emotionally. He'd put so much into that date time and effort, then the actual date has been such exercise, to the point that he was now exhausted. In every sense he puts the card in his wallet then goes a quick few jumps to get into his room without having to talk to his parents and curls up thinking of Jason and mostly of Ethan. And slowly falls into a deep slumber.
