Frost leaned against the doctor’s office receptionist window. Old Doc McLarty had been around for ages. He’d been here when Antler wasn’t much more than a nub. Frost didn’t know the man like most of the town, but they were acquaintances and Frost felt fine with the task he’d been given. Subterfuge.

It wasn’t much different from the work he and Ice did every day in the city. Search for clues without revealing what you’re doing and find the guilty. And in this case, find the missing.

Through all his years of being on this planet, he felt nothing as gratifying as helping others. Saving lives was especially rewarding. Seeing the look in a parents’ eyes when they were told their child was alive warmed his heart like nothing else. Of course, he wasn’t telling anyone that. He was a dragon, not a pussy.

Flashing his smile at the receptionist, he knew the effect he had on women, but hated to use it unless he needed to. His mate needed help, so this was a must do situation. He would do anything for her even though they’d known each other for only twenty-four hours. That’s how mates worked in the animal world.

“The doctor will see you now, Frost,” she smiled shyly at him and he winked at her. His dragon grumbled at the fact he was flirting with someone who wasn’t their mate. Then Frost reminded it this was for their mate and it sulked away.

He walked through the doctor’s open door into his office. Doc looked up and came around his desk to greet him.

“Frost,” Doc said, “good to see you again. How are you?” The men shook hands and the doctor closed the door behind them.

“Doing well, thanks for asking,” Frost replied.

McLarty chuckled. “Well, it is my job to know those kind of things. How can I help you?”

Frost had been contemplating his opening sentence all the way here. He didn’t want to come across as a badass and piss off the doctor nor did he want to seem like a pushover and not get an answer. So, he thought he’d take it casually.

“Do you know much about mercury poisoning?” he asked.

Doc sat back in his leather executive chair. “Mercury? Wasn’t expecting that. Causes liver problems.” He rose from his chair. “Let’s see what else.” From a shelf, he pulled an incredibly thick book and hefted it back to the desk. Licking his finger, he turned pages after opening to the middle of the tome.

Adjusting his glasses, he began to read.

“Mercury toxicity in vaporized form can cause insomnia, headaches, decreased cognitive functions, kidney malfunction, and respiratory failure leading to death. Especially dangerous to a fetus.” Doc kept reading then took his glasses off and rubbed his face.

“What’s wrong?” Frost asked.

Doc went to the window and looked out. “We’ve had more miscarriages in the past six months than we’ve had the past five years combined. And otherwise healthy children are developing brain problems.”

Frost remembered back to the kids at the diner who stared into space quietly.
