When Denton came to, the sky was still dark. Since he lay across the middle of a popular jogging path, he doubted he’d been lying there twenty-four hours or someone would’ve had his body hauled away by now.

Sitting up made spots appear before his eyes. His stomach heaved from the pain. He had to stand. He tried for a little internal pep talk, but his body apparently knew he was full of shit and ignored him.

Finally, Denton rolled over and crawled to his Jeep. Luckily, he’d found rare street parking close by. His hands were bleeding from bits of gravel by the time he made it to his car. If he shifted now, his bones might reshape wrong or force him to stay a crocodile until he was completely healed. His face throbbed the pain echoed throughout the rest of his body. Everything hurt.

He glanced around the Jeep to make sure there weren’t any more unpleasant surprises waiting for him. A sniff didn’t reveal any strange scents. He didn’t know how the salties found him, and he wasn't sure if they were still watching.

His first instinct was to go home, but with Eaton on his blind date, that would leave him with the bear shifter all alone. Harris would lose his temper if he discovered Denton battered and broken. Harris generally had a calm, artistic nature, but he protected his friends with the fierceness of a mama bear with her cub. Denton didn’t have the energy to deal with that.

Normally, he would turn over problems like this to Carey, but as soon as it became legal in Seattle, Broden had proposed to Carey, married him, and dragged him up to Victoria for a honeymoon.

Carey deserved time away without Denton crying to him because the bigger crocs had beaten him up. He needed an alternative plan. The image forming in his mind of a tall dark-haired puma shifter gave him comfort. Isaac Graham would help him out. Broden had asked Isaac to keep an eye on Carey’s friends while the newly married Alpha pair was gone. For the moment, Denton needed a safe place to heal and some help investigating where the crocs were staying.

Isaac was perfect.

Maybe he could get Isaac to hunt around a bit. Crocodile shifters, especially salties, weren’t known for their subtlety. Denton was strange for his breed. He liked to be in the background unless he was playing in the band. He preferred to write songs and design earth-friendly landscaping for people. He didn’t want to bring trouble to his friends, but if he disappeared, they would be more hurt than if he filleted them with a knife.

Denton needed to figure out where the salties had their home base and what they were doing here. The water was too cold and the weather wasn’t warm enough for saltwater crocs. Hell, it wasn’t warm enough for freshwater crocs, either, but after so many years, Denton was used to it.

He needed a plan, and he had a feeling Isaac was just the man to help him.
