Chapter 16

Once we were ready to go out, we split into three teams again—me and Amy, Johnson and Brewer, and Kaye by her lonesome.

The guys planned to hit some new estate sales while Amy and I staked out the dog park. Kaye would be a free agent, ready to come back up whoever needed her as she drove around the city searching idly for clues.

Frankly, I wondered why Johnson had chosen to buddy up with Brewer instead of Kaye, especially if he was sweet on her. These agent guys were dolts, the both of them.

At least the drive to the park was pleasant. I was with my ladies yet again—just the way I liked it and just the way we worked best.

We’d only started screwing up once the other agents had signed on to help. A coincidence? I think not.

“Okay, here you are,” Kaye said as she parallel-parked into a tight spot about a block away from the dog park. “Feel any magic nearby?”

At least four big hotels stood within eyesight. This was not a quiet little street corner but rather the middle of a bustling metropolis.

“There’s way too much going on to pick up on anything,” I said, watching as a man extracted an acoustic guitar from its case and began to play. “I’d bet our target is staying at whichever of these places accepts pets, though.”

“I already checked,” Amy turned to look at me. “And they all take pets.”

“Well, that narrows it down,” Kaye quipped under her breath. “I’ll head into the parking garage to see if I can find his vehicle, but chances are, our exposer is out and about, casing the city.”

“Um, don’t you need to change?” I asked Amy as she made to get out of the car. “And please don’t transform into one of those yappy, little hellhounds. It’s bad enough you’ll be a dog, but at least— “

“I’m not going as a dog,” Amy interrupted as if this should have been a given. “Otherwise how will we call Kaye if we need her?”

She rummaged in a tote bag at her feet, then pulled out a baseball cap. “That’s why I brought this.”

I watched as Amy tucked her hair up into the cap, all the while threatening not to groan or roll my eyes. Here was a girl who could shift into anything—anything! —and she’d chosen a hat for her disguise.

“I see that look on your face, Mr. Mossy,” Amy chastised, making eyes at me through the rearview mirror. “That’s why I also brought these.” On went an oversized pair of sunglasses and a throwaway surgical mask.

“Really? A face mask?” I asked, shaking my head. Now she looked like a celebrity who’d just gotten plastic surgery and didn’t want the whole world to see her new nose before it was ready.

“Tada!” She posed with her hands under her chin. “If anyone asks, I’ll tell them I have terrible allergies.”

“Brilliant,” I said with a laugh because what else could I even say? “You have terrible allergies, but still choose to bring your cat to the dog park out of the goodness of your heart.
