Kane

“That’s the building?” Kane asked.

Jean nodded. “Stay low. We don’t know what kind of perimeter guard they might have.”

Kane scowled and crouched down. “It doesn’t look like there are any guards,” he said. “This doesn’t even look like a shifter building to me. It looks human. Look at those big glass windows in the front! No shifter would—”

Jean grabbed his shoulder and forced him down lower. Kane twisted out of her grip, annoyed. “What the fuck?”

“I told you to stay down,” she said. “And I know it looks human. It’s supposed to look human! It’s enchanted, remember?”

“Yeah, but—”

“Look, you brought me along because you needed help with magic,” Jean said. “I’m telling you you’re looking at a whole shitload of magic right now. You can’t go racing in there guns blazing. We have to stay low, stay quiet, and watch.”

“And you’re sure I can’t shift?”

“Yeah, I’m sure. That would be a really horrible idea,” she said. “A big tiger erupting out of the bushes? You’d definitely attract attention. You can shift if it comes to hand-to-hand combat, but not until then. And you can’t start any fights,” she added, as though spotting a loophole.

Kane was nettled. “I wasn’t going to start a fight.”

“All right,” Jean said. “It’s just, you know, you’re not exactly the soul of caution.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Kane grumbled.

He peered through the leaves at the building ahead of them. “You know what,” he said. “If it wasn’t in such good condition, I would say it was probably abandoned. Look at it. It looks empty.”

“It does,” Jean agreed. “But that will be part of the magic, I suppose. It would be a lot harder to make it look as if a bunch of people were walking around in there dealing with business matters than to show an empty building.”

“I guess,” Kane said. “How are we going to find anything out from here, though, if we can’t see through the enchantment?”

“I don’t know,” Jean admitted. “We’re probably going to have to go in at some point. But we need to watch first. We want as much information as we can possibly get before we act.”

But Kane’s patience was wearing. After days of travel, they had finally arrived, and now she was telling him to wait. Again. It was almost more than he could stand.

He picked up a rock and stood.

Jean realized what he was going to do a split second before he acted. “Kane, no!”

She was too late. He fired the rock off like a missile at the building.

It was a throw a human couldn’t have made. It was too far. But Kane’s muscles were more than any pure human had ever possessed, and the rock whipped toward the building as lightly as if it had been a tennis ball and collided with one of the big glass windows—

Or at least, it should have collided with the window.

Kane expected to see the glass shatter, but it didn’t. Instead, the rock passed through it as harmlessly as if it were nothing more than a sheet of falling water.
