“I…borrowed it. Congressman Crowther wasn’t answering all my questions, and the public has the right to know about the boondoggles he’s trying to get funded.”

“And what did you learn from it?”

“Not a damned thing!” he exploded. “I put it into my computer and the message that came up on the screen said it would not only self-destruct but destroy the computer if the right password wasn’t given. I was going to get one of the company’s best techs involved but haven’t had time. When Alec, here, approached me, I figured he could help. But I take it that you haven’t been fired by Crowther, after all.”

He tried to turn toward Alec, who didn’t let him. “Nope. The congressman and I are on the best of terms.”

He glared next at Nella. “And you found the thumb drive?”

She raised her brows and shrugged. “Could be. One more thing. What did you think you’d find on the drive?”

“I didn’t know. Crowther claimed that his favorite military project, Alpha Force, was just developing some top-secret new technology to combat terrorism. But I’d heard rumors of…well, shape-shifting.”

Nella burst out laughing and was glad when Alec again followed her lead. “Like I told you before, Sherman. I’m a member of Alpha Force. Do I look like some kind of wolfwoman to you?”

“No,” he replied gruffly.

“Good answer.” She stood and walked to the side of the desk, retrieving the sack she had brought to the office from the floor. “In case you’re wondering, I did manage to find some of the paperwork on and in your desk from your employer, warning you not to get into any more trouble or you’d be on your own. Fired. Out of here on your ass. You’ve got those pictures on your cell, Alec?” she asked. No problem now acknowledging that they knew each other.
