The main drag of San Marco Avenue was light on traffic. I was halfway home but dawdled at a lit shop window to look at a display of blown glass bowls. I don’t know what made me turn, but Pandora, in her huge house cat form, came out of nowhere at a dead run and threw herself on my chest.

I staggered back, heard a thwit, and then the sound of shattering glass. A beat later, an alarm went off. Behind the building, Pandora said in my head.

When I didn’t move immediately, she nipped me.

Run.

I stumbled once, then used vamp speed. When I reached the back of the building, I stopped, pressed my back into the nubby surface of a brick wall, and wondered what the hell was happening. Another sniper? The sound I’d heard was different from the gunshots of the other night, but I was no expert. I was the only person I knew who didn’t own a gun. The first police sirens wailed as Pandora trotted around the corner of the building. Follow me, she commanded and headed behind another building to come out on a street behind San Marco. She didn’t morph into panther size, I guess so as not to scare the bejeebers out of anyone who happened to see us. Of course, her house cat size was as big as a bobcat. That was intimidating enough.

“What happened back there?” I asked in a whisper as we hurried along the shadowed streets. The man with the scarred face shot an arrow at you.

“Gorman?”

Pandora glanced over her shoulder as if to say Duh.

“He’s never pulled so much as a pop gun on me. Why try to kill me now?”

Pandora shook her head. This I do not know, but you must tell your man.

Oh goody. Another thing for Saber to feel good about.
