* * * *

Adam sat at the scarred wooden table in the corner of his apartment that served as a kitchen. It wasn’t much, but then he’d never had much. He stacked his bills in a neat pile and separated the coins by denomination. No matter how many times he counted his cash, it always came out the same—not enough. He needed that last paycheck. The manager would be pissed and not likely to hand over any money but he had to try. One more visit to Big-Top and he’d be on his way.

Adam locked the door behind him. Not that he had a lot to protect but he didn’t want any surprises when he came back. He shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans and avoided the liquor bottles and used syringes that littered the rundown block he called home. No big deal. The rent was cheap and he could walk to the burger joint.

It was lunchtime but the weather was turning bad and the restaurant was almost empty. Harry was still pissed and not at all happy to see him. ‘What do you want?”

“I’m sorry. I have a family emergency and I need my pay check.”

Harry laughed in his face. “I don’t have your money. You know the pay checks come from the main office.”

“But I need to leave town—”

“I can’t help you. Call Personnel and have them mail it.”

“Thanks for nothing.” Adam yelled over his shoulder as he headed for the exit. Damn! Should I wait for the check? He really didn’t want to stay in town any longer than necessary.

Halfway out the door, Adam saw the suit. Only he wasn’t in a suit today. Sitting on a bench across the street, brown-eyes looked good, dressed in jeans and a white shirt, his curls blowing in the breeze. Their eyes caught, held, and warning bells went off in Adam’s head. Tamping down a spark of attraction, he averted his eyes. Why wasn’t the stalker inside eating? But Adam already knew the answer. Because I wasn’t in there working today. Without a doubt, there was a thug behind that boyish face, a bounty hunter, somebody the doctor paid off to find him. And somehow the bastard had done it. Right now he was laying a webby trap for Adam. Well, sorry to disappoint you, boy, but this fly isn’t taking the bait.

Adam forced himself to calm down and turn away. He started walking. Fast. If it were night, disappearing would be so much easier. His best bet might be to duck into an alley and shift. Fleeing on four feet would give him an advantage. Footsteps sounded behind him. How did brown-eyes catch up so quickly?

Suddenly Adam detected a scent that made his blood run cold. His faculty of smell, more canine than human, stored a large repertoire of odors. This one triggered nasty memories. Adam’s past had caught up with him again, and this time his father had sent the big guns to bring him in.
