Talbotâs apartment, where he and Kessler had spent the night and to which Reed and I now travelled, was expensive and comfortable but oddly soulless. Everything was very nice but it looked like a showroom model of an apartment. It was hard to believe that anyone actually lived here. It didnât really stack up with what I knew about Talbot, but I guessed that what I knew about him was comparatively little.
Once we were all seated and with drinks in our hands, Talbot turned to me. âWhat now?â
It was somewhat tantalizing being in this apartment with three such handsome and sexy men, even if it was on business, but it was also very nice to be the one they all looked to. They were all fighters and hunters, their strong bodies honed to a sharp edge, they all loomed over me and could have juggled me if the inclination had taken them. And yet they all deferred to me. It was kind of cool.
âWell,â I began, hoping to say something smart enough to justify the faith they had all placed in me, âit seems like Texas may be into some deeper shit than we thought.â
âIf,â Kessler stressed, âwhat we walked in on yesterday was anything to do with Texas. That whole area is thick with gangs â human and wolf â itâs a natural hideout. We know that Texas was operating out of there at one time, that doesnât mean that he still is.â
âDo we have any idea what those people were doing there?â I asked.
âBane,â answered Talbot, without hesitation. âDid you notice how weak they all were?â
I nodded. I had thought at the time how lucky we were to come up against a group of wolves who couldnât fight worth shit.
âWolfbane addiction can leave wolves in a pretty shitty state,â Talbot explained. âWe donât advertise it to humans becauseâ¦â
I shrugged. âBecause who knows how long our species can get along.â
Wolves and humans had lived in near harmony since the General Amnesty in 1917. Barely a hundred years of uneasy co-existence that always seemed balanced on a knife-edge. A couple of times that fragile accord had come close to breaking and who could say how long it might last?
âThey were bane addicts,â Talbot continued. âBut they were well-armed, which means they had money. No one employs those poor wretches but a dealer.â
Reed frowned. âIsnât that a little like putting a monkey in charge of a banana plantation?â
âIâm guessing theyâre watched pretty closely.â
I pondered this as I sipped my coffee. âOkay. Given that we know Texas was a bane dealer working from that warehouse and there is still a bane operation at work there, I donât think itâs a massive stretch to think he might still be involved.â
âThe Pack Leader called him small time,â said Kessler.
âEither MacKenzie Sean was wrong or Texas has gone up in the world.â
âMore coffee?â asked Talbot, a surprisingly solicitous host, and we all sat for a minute as our mugs were topped up.
âNext question,â I moved
