Grace didn’t hear back from Major Connell until the first thing next morning, as she walked toward the medical center. She told him what she’d discussed with the other Alpha Force members.

“I like the idea,” he said. “It would give us better control over what’s going on. What about if we staged the whole thing, brought in a group who only appeared to be sick?”

“As long as the apparent biohazard samples seem real enough, that could work,” Grace said. “But we need to make it look good. What if our bad guys work in or around the hospital and are somehow involved with the testing? If it’s all clearly a sham, they’ll keep their distance and our efforts won’t get us anywhere.”

“I’ll run the idea by some of the guys who are helping me work on the latest version of the elixir. Maybe take it to General Yarrow, too, for advice.”

Grace knew that Drew was also a medical doctor, and he had been the first to devise the prototype elixir that allowed shifters to change at times other than the full moon and always to maintain their human cognition. Since he had helped to found Alpha Force, Drew had also called on other members who were doctors to help upgrade the formulation several times. As great as it already was, it was always subject to improvement.

She considered casually mentioning having run into another shifter here when the moon wasn’t full. She probably had an obligation to do so, and if it had been anyone other than Simon she wouldn’t have hesitated.

But it was Simon. She’d come up with no further ideas about how to get the truth from him, though. If her plan worked and they caught the potential terrorists, she’d either have to confront Simon for the truth…or, when she left, tell Major Connell about it. Alpha Force needed to know.

“That sounds like a good idea to me,” Grace said. “General Yarrow seems to know everyone in the military, plus he has other contacts in the government. I’ll bet that, with your input, he can help find the people and apparent biohazard samples we need.”

“You trying to flatter both your commanding officers, Lieutenant?” Drew’s voice sounded amused.

“Yes, sir,” Grace said smartly. She had reached the front steps of the medical center. “How is Melanie doing?”

“She and the soon-to-be little one are getting impatient. Me, too. Otherwise, things are fine.”

“Great! Well, I’m nearly on duty here now. I’ll discuss the plan with you again later, if that’s all right.”

“Fine, Grace. Time for you to go cure some patients.”

He sounded wistful, and Grace knew that despite his own medical background, Drew had been too busy to practice hands-on medicine for a while.

“I’ll try to save a few for you,” she said, and hung up.
