Hoping to get information, Warren befriends the scientists as they\n \nuncover a cult involved in animal shapeshifting, findings that fit with rumors the girl was killed by a\n \nmythic wolf.\n \nWarren finds Billings, an ex-policeman searching for his daughter, Carrie, taken by Russian Andrey\n \nVolkov, head of a human trafficking ring.
