Mills had arranged the Hunter’s artifacts in a line down the middle of their conference room table: knucklebones on a string, strips of hide with fur attached, a pile of feathers, weapons with hollows for talismans welded on, and small vials of murky colored fluid. Grimalkin paced up and down the table’s length, batting at things and hissing, and as Damian came into the room, his dragon growled.

I will take great pleasure in destroying these, and them.

And although Damian agreed with the sentiment, he said, They died last night, remember?

All the others like them, then, his dragon promised, seething just underneath his human skin.

“I reached out to the other Wardens to see if Hunters had been active in their areas. They all said no that they’d been quiet lately,” Mills said as she sat down. Max and Jamison joined her, one to each side, but Austin and Zach’s seats were empty; the brothers were still staking out the hospital. “Mysteriously so,” Mills went on.

“That’s just on this continent, though. Did you ask worldwide?” Damian asked.

She shook her head. “Not yet. Because I didn’t think they’d have the funding—until I started working backward on their car. I worked my way up through several shell corps and eventually wound up at Bright Star Incorporated.”

“And they do?” Damian asked.

“As far as their paperwork shows…nothing. They’re a wall, externally,” Mills said.

“Anything can be hacked,” Jamison said. “Let me at ‘em.” He unscrewed his hand and looked beneath the table for a connection port.

“Hold up,” Damian said, lifting a hand. “I’m not saying you don’t work clean, Jamison, but right now, they don’t know we’re coming. Are there any other avenues we can explore more quietly, first?”

Jamison pondered. “Stella knew they were in town and gunning for her. We could reach out.”

“I did a little more research on her apartment complex—the one she blew up last night. Turns out it was a Starry Sky den,” Mills said.

“Which was how she knew it was empty,” Jamison said.

Mills nodded. “I followed the news feeds today to be sure. No bodies other than a few more men, who I think we can safely assume were Hunters. Which means her pack probably ran.”

“Where’d they go? And why’d they leave her and her brother behind?” Max wondered aloud.

“Because she’s clearly a psycho,” Austin muttered, coming into the room, followed by Zach. “The hospital was a dead end.”

Damian made a thoughtful sound. “I don’t like this. The last time we fought Hunters, they were numerous—but uncoordinated.” Damian frowned at the table littered with the physical proof of Hunters’ avarice in front of him. “Ten years ago, they were just a loose gang. Shell corporations, and funding for that Kriss Vector submachine gun there, sounds more like organized crime to me.”

“Agreed,” Mills said, curtly. “I’ll approach our international brethren to see if they know anything,” she said, and Damian nodded.

“We do at least need to ask Stella. In case anything here is personal to her pack,” Zach said, jerking his chin at the table’s contents.
