“I don’t think this is a good idea.”

Dante ignored Alyssa as he got into the driver’s seat of the car that Talon had supplied. “I told you already. This way you can look for Wesley while I drive.”

“That all makes a lot of sense. You know, except for the part where you can’t drive.”

“I’ve seen it enough. Get in the car.”

“You know I can’t heal instantly. If you get into an accident, that’s all well and good for you but I’ll be dead.”

“Then we won’t get into an accident.”

“I swear, you might be another species, but you’re just as arrogant as any man I’ve ever met. Am I allowed to give you directions or do you know exactly how to get to Portland from here too?”

Dante shook his head and got in the car. He’d agreed to this crazy plan of hers, but that didn’t mean he was going to surrender every inch of control. Besides, if he wanted to survive in this human-dominated world, it was apparent that he’d have to learn to drive.

And his logic still held. Alyssa could work on her phone, and Talon had promised him that there would be additional Night Watch support for them.

Alyssa finally got into the front seat and slowly, pointedly buckled her seat belt. He decided to follow suit. Like she said, he probably didn’t need to, but if it would make her feel more comfortable, he’d suffer through the restrictive band.

Then he looked down at the odd contraption. He’d been driven in cars enough times. He’d seen people driving on TV. But it was his first time actually in the driver’s seat.

“This is a bad idea,” repeated Alyssa as he turned the key in the ignition. Like he’d seen others, he turned until the engine came to life and then released the key as the engine kept turning. Success.

He then reached down for the gear shifter and tugged it down until it was at the D for “Drive” before pressing on the gas. The car lurched forward at first, but he was able to move his foot to the brake. He risked a glance at Alyssa to see her clenching her eyes tightly closed.

“Which direction do I turn when I get to the main road?” he asked, hoping to get her mind off her anxiety about his driving. He hit the gas again, this time much more gently, and they slowly got off to a start.

“Right. Now remember to look at the signs, okay? The speed limit here is twenty-five. The red octagon means stop. The yellow triangle means yield. Remember to always keep your eyes on the road. Motorcycles are harder to see, so you need to be vigilant. And for the love of God, don’t be one of those douchebags who doesn’t use a turn signal. It’s an inch away from the steering wheel. You can nudge it with your finger.”

“I’ll pay attention,” he promised. “Now get out your little phone and start working.”

“To be honest, there’s not a lot I can do.
