Chapter 19

We drove over the drawbridge and into the prison courtyard, the silent stone walls hiding the sentries who probably had us in their sights since the thought hit my brain.

I pulled up into the “intake” area, which is the same place where I dropped off the genie in the bottle. I sure hoped that Lacy was on duty. I didn't have the time or patience to sweet talk my way past some noob.

I pulled into a parking spot and we got out, making sure to lock the doors behind us. I didn’t need any hitchhikers looking for an easy way out of dodge.

Lacy was at the counter filling out a crossword puzzle. She looked up barely long enough to buzz us in.

Lacy is blue. She is not blue as in “sad” but as in “actually blue”. She keeps her uniform tight, her chi-chis pushed up to her chin, and her curly sapphire hair piled on her head. Dolly Parton, eat your heart out.

“Hey Lacy!” I said.

Her attitude totally changed as soon as she saw who I had in tow. She practically purred as she saw Killian behind me.

“Is it chilly in here?” she asked as she leaned strategically on the counter, “because I think I could use some wood on this fire.”

“Lacy…” I warned.

“What can I do you for, Mister?” she asked Killian.

“I had wondered why Maggie had never allowed me to accompany her inside,” said Killian, taking Lacy's hands in his. “I can see she was frightened I might choose never to leave.”

They stared deep into one another's eyeballs without breaking contact. I would have lost this staring contest due to the fact I couldn't have kept my eyes from rolling.

He slowly traced Lacy’s arm with his finger as he spoke. She was eating it up with a spoon, “Maggie and I were just discussing certain aspects of werewolf mating rituals.”

“I hear only the alphas are allowed to mate,” said Lacy.

A devilish smile crept its way across Killian's face, “What do you think of alphas?”

“I think every now and then a girl likes to be grabbed by the scruff of the neck and tossed around a little.”

I cleared my throat, “This is really uncomfortable…”

“Maggie and I wanted to do some research, talk to someone with real knowledge about such things, but realized we do not know any werewolves. Would you happen to know any werewolves? Perhaps one we could talk to?”

“Just let me get my keys,” said Lacy. She walked over to her desk drawer and grabbed out a great big iron ring. She gave me a look and said, “Maggie, you keep this partner around. I like him. Much better than you just showing up and begging me to let you into a high security area of the prison to talk to a werewolf. That was your plan, right?”

“That was the plan.”

She shook her head, “You need to work on your approach. I haven’t seen you since before you dropped off that genie bottle and disappeared."

"You weren't working that day!" I protested.
