Milly was placed into a cell despite my protests that she wouldn’t be there come morning, and for some reason, no one would let me run her through. Nor would they allow me below in the cells, stating I wasn’t cleared, that I could be trying to help Milly and O’Shea. Fuck them all, they’d find out soon enough how very wrong they were to think they could hold a witch behind bars. Everyone scoffed at me. Or at least, every human did. The two other shape shifters, Will and Officer Smith, were guarding O’Shea’s cell and keeping an eye on Milly while they were at it. So far, we hadn’t been able to get close to Liam. Whatever Milly had instructed him with was keeping him raging at anyone who came too close. Pamela said she could hold him so we could remove the collar he wore, but Dr. Daniels was being a major pain in the ass, not allowing Pamela out of her sight.

On that line, Dr. Daniel’s used the chaos at the precinct to harp on the fact that an officer had been killed only feet from where Pamela had stood. If only the doctor had understood that Milly had been aiming for Pamela, I had no doubt that the kid would have already been whisked away.

As it was, Agent Valley stepped in, surprising the hell out of me yet again.

“Dr. Daniels, was it?”

The red faced, red dressed doctor nodded sharply. “Yes.”

“Agent Adamson,” he said, giving me a full title, and I choked as if something had gone down the wrong tube. Agent Valley just gave me a warning look and continued. “Agent Adamson is one of the best agents we have and has dedicated her life to going after cold cases where children have been abducted. If young Pamela wants to stay with her for a short while, I personally will vouch for her safety.”

The doctor shook her head. “That is not good enough. We have to proceed with the proper procedures and the proper paperwork. This is . . .” their voices trailed off as Agent Valley herded her away from me, Pamela, and Alex, who sat with his chin on Pamela’s knee.

“Pamela, as much as I appreciated your help, this isn’t safe for you. The doctor is right about that,” I said, slumping into a chair beside her.

“You’re going to make me go with her?” She asked, her voice quavering.

“No, I’m not. You have to make up your own mind and I think you’re old enough. But my life isn’t safe. What you saw just now, that sort of shit happens all the time. You could die if you stay with me.” I couldn’t pull any punches here, she had to know the truth before she made a decision to stay or not.

Her blue eyes went thoughtful for a moment before she answered. “But you save kids, right? Kids like me?”

I nodded. “Whenever I can.”

She bowed her head, her face curtained by her raggedy blond hair.
