It was time to put up or get out. She knew that without Lucien having to spell it out. “All right then. My official title is a retrieval expert. I work with a handler who gives me my assignments. Not all of them require me to kill. I prefer the ones that don’t, but I do my job and hope I’m making the world a little safer by doing so.”

“Do you know if your job is connected to a government agency or private?”

“Not for certain, but I always thought it was part of some hush-hush government arm.”

“I see. Since you thought Ajax might be an agent, am I to assume you don’t know your co-workers?”

She nodded, not liking how this was going. In their eyes, she might be working for anyone, including not-so-nice private firms. Not to mention how little she knew about her employers or how gullible she’d been, yet again.

“I know how this looks, but the agency is all I’ve ever known.”

“Why do you say that?”

“They were the ones who came and got me out of foster care when I started to, you know, show changes in my body.”

“You mean when your body had matured enough to start shifting?”

“Yeah, that’s a better way of putting it.”

“And no one was there to explain to you what was happening to you?”

“No. I thought I was abnormal. No one said what I could do or what I’d become was anything but outside the norm.”

“Wow, talk about some fucked up shit,” Ajax said, anger lacing his tone.

“Language, Jax,” Lucien said, scolding his youngest brother. “As for you, dear Hildy, I am truly sorry you had to go through that. How long have you been with the agency, as you call them?”

“The first time I shifted was soon after I turned ten. They came and got me right after that. No one would come near me and I was scared. They took me to a house out in the country. It was very nice, but I was the only one there with my teachers.”

“And how long were you there at that place?”

“Let me see,” she took a moment to mentally calculate the time, “I got there when I was ten and they offered me the job when I was twenty. So, I was there training for ten years and I’ve been doing these assignments for the last three, almost four years. Oh, I’ll be twenty-four next month. That’ll make my fourth year as an agent.”

“You spent most of your life alone with only your teachers then?”

“Yes, but it wasn’t like I was tortured or treated badly. They were nice and there was a house manager there.”

“But did they ever spend time with you when it wasn’t about training or learning how to do their bidding?”

She had to pause to think. “Come to think about it, no, I can’t say that they did.”

“No holiday celebrations, trips to do fun stuff, friends your age, sleepovers or anything?” Matt asked, still stuffing his face with food. That dude could eat.
