“Get down!” someone from the back shouted. “He’s still got the gun!”

Laney pushed Rip’s lump of a body aside. He was bleeding from a hole in his shoulder, but the onrush of people coming to take him away gave her the feeling he’d be fine. The asshole in the crowd who decided to take a pot shot? Not so much.

She hadn’t the first clue why she’d decided to act. Never, not once in her life was she the mama lioness. She never had those tendencies, never had the drive to protect people or put herself in danger. A surge of courage, maybe bolstered by what she figured this guy had already survived, and maybe given a shot in the ass because she really didn’t want him hurt before she could kiss him again, just possessed her. Laney didn’t even bother shifting. She didn’t need to.

Every ounce of strength in her body exploded at once. It wasn’t rage, it wasn’t even fear. It was just what she had to do.

From a librarian to a vigilante, she thought with a fairly smug grin. I guess that’s life, huh?

Finally, as she drove through the panicking crowd, she heard the blare of police sirens, but they were distant. Too distant, she knew, to catch the guy who had already turned tail. Literally.

A bushy, pom-tipped lion’s tail was disappearing around the side of the Township courthouse even as she broke through the crowd and pushed into the street proper. She took a deep breath, considered that she’d been running more today than she had in probably the last fifteen years, wasted most of her breath with a laugh, and took off again.

There were calls from behind her that commanded her to stop. Only they weren’t commands, they were begs. People from the crowd – newscasters who should have just been interested in watching the scene unfold – were trying to get her to leave off.

Like hell, she thought. Like hell.

The half-shifted lion who’d shot Rip was quick, but he was also getting winded. And past that, he had something of a limp. He favored his right leg as he ran, and the more he ran, the more he limped. It seemed to her that at any moment he would collapse and she’d do... something.

Then again, there was the matter of the gun.

As Laney guessed, the lion tripped. His lame leg got caught up underneath the other one, and he tumbled to the ground. He’d just turned into an alley, and the stumble sent him careening into a pothole, and then into the side of a dumpster, where his head hit with a clang.

But there was still the gun.

His eyes were crossed, and he was obviously rattled, but there were still at least a hundred and fifty feet between him and Laney. As agile as she might’ve been, even in her presently winded state, Laney wasn’t about to try and dodge bullets.

The attacker leveled the pistol and steadied it against his leg. Laney ducked back past
