After that excitement, they didn’t argue when their real chauffeur, the plaid-wearing Tom, suggested they grab some Timmies. For the non-Canadian, that meant grabbing a coffee and a maple-flavored donut from a drive-thru that had a stream of cars when they entered and a stream once they left.

During this time, Tom made slow conversation. Very slow, which was normal given his sloth nature.

“How was the flight?”

“Explosive?” Jakob joked from his spot in the front seat. Maisy sat in the back, checking mail and messages from her father and daughter.

“Someone is after you,” Tom observed.

“And obviously knew we were coming here. The Academy might not be safe.”

Tom uttered a noise. “Nowhere safer.”

“And they’re aware we’re coming in hot,” Maisy advised from the back seat. “Don’t worry about the Academy. It is one of the most protected places in the world.”

“Got the best of the best working there,” Tom added.

“Are you a FUC agent?” Jakob asked the man.

“Not quite. Used to be a gumshoe with my pal, Everett. Did some odd jobs for FUC every so often. But once my pal met Dawn, and after that fiasco with Joey, we thought it was time for a change in career. Something that would afford more nap time.” Tom’s half-shut eyes made Jakob wonder if the man was currently missing his.

Maze leaned forward. “I’ve read about Dawn. Dr. Manners sent her file to ask my opinion on her condition, and I met her on my last visit.”

That drew Jakob’s attention. “Is something wrong with this Dawn person?”

“Mastermind.” A one-word answer from Tom that explained a lot.

But Maisy added to it. “The serum causes behavioral and physical changes. In Dawn’s case, a violent bloodlust that she can’t always control. Given she’s a gentle minded, doe, the change has caused issues.”

“Were you able to help her?”

Maze shook her head. “What Mastermind managed to do to Dawn happened at a cellular level. Walking it back would involve much uncertainty and danger.”

“Meaning I’m screwed,” he said in a low tone.

“Depends on your point of view,” was Tom’s sage offering. “Dawn might have some issues to deal with, but she’s still found happiness.”

It took Tom so long to say this that Jakob had a chance to wonder what the worst thing was that could happen if he remained a bear.

Mockery by his family. But that happened no matter what anyhow.

A loss of ability because of the different body, but at the same time, he’d gain new skills.

He tried to think of some more bad points. He was kind of coming up dry.

As they went from the airport to the Academy, Tom predictably drove under the speed limit and made no attempt to beat the GPS-projected trip time. Never played that game? It was simple. Enter a destination, make note of the trip finder’s arrival time, and then drive—sometimes a bit above the speed limit—and see by how many minutes you could beat it.

Currently his Uncle Klaus held the record. A three-hour trip in under one. Da claimed the fact
