“So, there is zero indication that your boss is anything other than a legit businessman,” Bishop said.

Emerson smiled gratefully at Kat when she handed her a glass of water. She’d been talking for nearly two hours, and her throat was bone dry. She swallowed some water. “Nothing. As far as I know anyway.”

“Fuck.” Ronin looked sick to his stomach. “He starts shipping that serum across the country, and shit is going to get real bad, real quick for shifters.”

“Not just shifters,” Kat said. “Clay isn’t a shifter, but it suppressed his abilities too.”

Emerson glanced toward the stairs. After being with Clay non-stop for days, her jaguar was whining and demanding to be with him. She swallowed down the unease she felt at her jaguar’s attachment to the human and ignored her cat’s pleas to check on Clay. He was fine.

“We need to let Bren know what’s going on,” Mal said.

“Bren… that’s the human detective Kat mentioned earlier, right?” Emerson said.

“Yes. He’s mated to one of the dragons dosed with the suppressant serum. The dragonness is a good friend of mine named Kaida,” Bishop said. “Bren knows firsthand how dangerous it can be. He also happens to be the son of Senator Matthews.”

“Holy shit,” Emerson said. “Is it… I mean, should we involve him? He might be mated to a shifter, but he’s a human and the senator’s son. Can we trust him?”

“We can trust him. The senator tried to kill Kaida, and even before that, he and Bren didn’t have a good relationship. The senator’s involvement with HAPI and this serum shit, as well as attempting to murder Bren’s mate, has completely severed the relationship,” Bishop said.

Mal tapped his fingers on the top of the table. “Bishop, can you go to Kaida’s clan tomorrow and speak to her and Bren about what we’ve learned of this Wilson Granger and the serum?”

Bishop nodded, and Mal glanced at Emerson. “How much does Granger know about your personal life?”

“Not a lot,” Emerson said. “We didn’t speak about personal stuff.”

“Does he know you have a sister?” Mal said.

Her stomach churning, Emerson said, “He could find out with a quick look at my personnel file. When Ira and I divorced, I changed my emergency contact to Katarina, and you had to write down what your relationship is to your emergency contact.”

The soup she’d eaten threatened to come back up. She hated that she’d put Kat on Granger’s radar, but she’d needed Ronin’s help. Besides, she didn’t plan to be at Kat’s long enough to put her in danger.

“Okay.” Mal texted rapidly, then set his phone on the table. “I’ve just texted Fenton. He’ll be here in about twenty minutes to keep an eye out for Granger’s men. He’ll text Kat if he sees anything or anyone suspicious.”

“Thanks, Mal,” Kat said.

“We’ll pull Davis and Garth from the Wenton job, and the three of them can do eight-hour shifts to keep the house under constant surveillance. Ronin, you’re assigned to Emerson. Make sure you -”

“No,” Emerson said.

Kat reached out and squeezed her shoulder.
