Jack didn't. Neither did Sal, who ended up with the task of keeping the teenager in line and safe. Although if the kid wasn't safe in a building filled with guardians, then he wasn't going to be safe anywhere.

"You know I don't like civilians down here," Jack said, tossing something my way as he walked back into the day shift's office area.

"I didn't have much other choice, boss." I caught the item with my free hand. It turned out to be a bracelet of twined rope and what looked like dried leaves of some variety. My fingers tingled at contact with it, but it was a cleaner, safer-feeling magic than whatever the sorceress was using. "This from Marg and her team?"

"Yep. The kid will be given one, too. If there's any residual tracking magic left on you, this should stop it."

I slipped it over my left wrist, then handed him the sweater I'd been wearing. "You might want to give them this. The zombie threw some sort of dust at me when he first appeared, and I suspect it was designed to immobilize vampires. I think my werewolf half saved me from the full effects of it."

He took the bundled-up sweater carefully. "If that's true, then it explains why no one has fought back."

"Certainly does." I walked across to my desk and sat down. "Did Marg say anything about how these people are getting in and out of these places?"

"She suspects the killer is using some form of transport magic to get in, but there hasn't been enough of it remaining at any of the sites for her to track down the type of spell being used."

"Bummer."

"Yeah." He glanced at his watch. "It's full moon for you tonight, isn't it?"

"Certainly is." And Rhoan, Liander, and I all planned to head up to Macedon and the strip of land Dia's clone brother, Misha, had left me when he'd died. It was huge and wild, and just about perfect for werewolves to run free without the worry of upsetting or spooking anyone.

Jack grunted. "It's useless trying to get much more out of you today, then. Finish up here, then go home." He half turned away, then stopped. "What are your dancing skills like?"

"I'm a werewolf," I said dryly. "Dancing is my life."

"Not that sort of dancing. Regular dancing, no sex involved."

"Where's the fun in that?" I grinned as his expression darkened. "I do the regular dancing pretty darn good, too."

"Good enough to be employed at a men's club?"

I hesitated. Having never been inside a men's club, I didn't actually know what sort of dancing went on in there. "I know someone who can give me a few pointers."

"Good. Arrange it. You might have to go undercover at the club if Kade doesn't sniff out anything tonight." He turned and left the room.

I signed into my computer and checked the results of the two searches. It turned out that neither of the women who owned Meinhardt's had either a police or a Directorate
