We make it to the FUA office unscathed. It’s quiet. Darla’s typing away at her desk, and a beautiful redheaded woman is manning the reception desk. She’s on the phone and looks ready to strangle whoever is on the other line. “Uh-huh.” She rolls her eyes. “I understand that, Mrs. Montgomery, but I already told you, they’re imps, not rodents. We can’t exterminate them. No, Mrs. Montgomery…”

Ren’s soft chuckle pulls my attention from the woman behind the desk. “Who’s that?” I ask.

“Shayne Davies. Rookie agent. Looks like she pulled the short straw in my absence.”

Shayne groans at the ceiling. “Look, lady, I already told you, I’m not sending someone out there. Those imps have a permit to live in the walls of that building.”

Ren grips my wrist and tugs me toward the back hallway. “Quick, let’s go see what the director wants, before I have to take over that phone call. Mrs. Montgomery calls at least once a week about the imps in her apartment building. I keep telling her to move if she doesn’t like them. Or at least get a cat.”

As we pass the desk, Shayne looks up and her eyes flash. “Ren! Thank the baseball gods. Can you please tell this crazy woman—”

“Sorry, busy, can’t right now,” Ren sings, his steps never faltering as he pulls me across the room. “Back in a bit! You’re the best, Davies! Thanks!”

“Ren, come on! Ren. Ren!”

Ren snickers as he knocks on Director West’s office. I shake my head and chuckle.

“Come in,” the director calls out sharply.

Ren swings the door open and drags me into the office. Rook follows us and closes the door. Director West smiles at me and waves a hand toward the empty chairs in front of her desk. “Jacobs, thank you for coming in.”

Jacobs. She started calling me that after the human hunter fiasco a few weeks ago. I guess using last names is a cop thing. I don’t like it. It seems less personal, and more like she’s my boss. Though, I guess she is. I agreed to work with the FUA office on a case-by-case situation. This is the first time she’s called me in on an official capacity.

Ren pulls out one of the chairs in front of her desk, so I sit in it, and he takes the other one as if he’s ready to receive his next assignment as well. Director West cocks a brow at him, and he shrugs sheepishly. He points a thumb over his shoulder. “Mrs. Montgomery. Shayne’s got it handled.”

Director West rolls her eyes. “Get out of here, Ren. Send Davies home before I have to pay her overtime.”

Ren pouts, but he gets up. He plops a kiss to the top of my head, then saunters out of the office. Rook takes his seat in the chair next to mine. Director West gives him a long look, but she doesn’t ask him to leave. Not that he would. “Sorry. He’s not going to leave my side while there are contracts out on my clan.
