“How much longer?”

“Two minutes less than the last time you asked,” Donovan groused, not looking up from the screen of her laptop. “They said an hour. It’ll be an hour. Stop pacing. Go get coffee. Run around the block. Play in traffic. Hell, go mess up Brock’s desk, just let me get this request done or you’ll never get the rest of the evidence from Beastly.”

“But…”

“But nothing. The lab is analyzing that sliver of silver. You already know it had blood on it and that it was Sway’s. I’m not sure what you think they can find that your senses don’t already know, but you insisted and I did as you asked. So, now we wait.”

“I told you why I wanted them to test it,” he growled. “There is something weird about the way it smells. It’s Sway, but then there’s something about it that’s not Sway. I can’t explain it.”

“Right.”

“Okay, hotshot. How do you explain his trail ending at a wall? And, before you ask, no, that’s not where it started. Actually, it’s where it stopped only because I can’t walk through walls.”

“And here I thought you were Super Agent man.”

Ignoring Donovan, needing to say it all out loud one more time, Hunter continued, “And Sway can’t walk through walls either. No matter what you all think. But disappearing into the wall isn’t the weirdest thing…”

“You don’t say?” Jane grumbled.

“…it mysteriously moved without a trail. Like jumped ten feet, didn’t touch anything and bingo-bango reappeared in the center of a stall.”

“Bingo-bango? That’s a new one.”

“Don’t sass me, Donovan,” Hunter gave up and acknowledged her running commentary, but refused to stop his own. “There was no backtracking, no layers, nada. Ken doll stench was there, it was gone, and then it was over there. And this bears repeating, Sway may be picture perfect, but the bastard can’t walk through walls or do fucking magic tricks.”

“Damn straight,” Ramirez chimed in, entering the tech room. “He’s not fucking perfect either,” he added, heading straight for his wife.

Turning away as the happy couple said a very thorough hello, Hunter couldn’t stop thinking about Kat. Sure, the boss had told her not to come into the office and had tucked her away in a safe house. It just wasn’t like his tenacious mate not to find a way to call in and talk to Donovan about the case.

When an hour went by without word from Mejia, he’d called the undercover officers stationed outside her location. Douglas reported everything was okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. So why was his dragon charging the confines of his mind, pummeling Hunter to be let free, to protect Katrina.

“You can turn around now,” Donovan laughed. “We should be good for another ten minutes or so.”

“Make that five,” Ramirez grinned while waggling his eyebrows.

“I’ve got an email,” Donavan announced before Cross could make a smartass comment.

Across the room and peering over her shoulder as fast as his feet would carry him, Cross read the findings twice before shaking his head and thinking aloud, “It’s his.
