CHAPTER 9

Los Angeles is a huge sprawling mess spread across five hundred square miles, and that’s not counting the smaller cities right next door that always get lumped in with the metro area. There had to be thousands of discos, bars, and nightclubs, plus who knew how many underground establishments that would never be discovered by anyone except for those “in the know.” The club scene here was more secretive than the MCB. The City of Angels was the Wild West when it came to discos. We were going to need a lot of luck to find Nicole before the body count started to rise.

Why hadn’t the MCB already been looking for her? Natalie had said no one else came around to ask about her missing roommate, and it was clear the witness intimidation program—also known as the MCB—hadn’t spoken to her yet. If the sheriff’s department had called us about Lake Arrowhead, then surely they’d told the MCB too, and it shouldn’t have taken me to tell them that the cougar attacks were really suspicious. The Feds were supposed to be more astute than this, and Ray had assured me that they were even more militant than the last time I’d worked with them. Agent Beesley might be a pain to deal with, but she struck me as efficient and ruthless. Taking care of a newly turned werewolf that they had police records on should have been handled ASAP.

The next day, we met to talk about our missing college student. Finding her was what we would concentrate on whenever we weren’t actively working some other case, and there hadn’t been any new callouts since the zombies. We decided that every night we’d split into teams and hit various nightlife spots. We made copies of the photo Melanie had stolen, so at least we’d have something to show around to all our contacts.

Rhino had a surprise for us. He had managed to snag a police radio for each of our vehicles. We could use their emergency channel if needed, which could come in handy when we needed to pass a message back to base. This was really nice because I was always out of quarters when I needed to use a pay phone. I think part of this new project was that Rhino was still mad at himself for getting his leg broken, and at least doing the installs would make him feel useful, but I sure wasn’t going to say that to the poor guy.

While we talked about our werewolf search, eating doughnuts the Gasparyans had brought us and drinking coffee, I could tell that there was another topic looming, and we really needed to have it out. The silences were awkward. Justin kept looking at me like he was expecting me to shape-shift and start eating people.

Surprisingly, Rhino actually read the room for once, did his job, and took charge.

“Alright, we need to clear the air about something. Some of us already knew Chloe was PUFF Exempt. Some of you found out the sudden way.
