“Weird.” Maggie glanced from the computer to me, and then back again, frowning.

“What’s weird?”

“Rodolfo means ‘wolf’.”

Chapter Nineteen

“It means what?” I asked, and my voice was far too loud for the silent, empty room.

“Wolf. In Spanish.” She shrugged. “A lot of old names do. It was a common choice because wolves were seen as strong, independent, and loyal.”

“Excuse me. Miss?”

A skeletal old man stood in the doorway, squinting as if the light were too bright, or perhaps his glasses weren’t thick enough. His expression had drawn his eyebrows together until they resembled a bushy, white unibrow.

The guy kind of creeped me out. No one could be that skinny, or that pale, and live. “Can I help you?”

Maggie stood. “I’d love something to drink, child. I’m parched.”

“Sure.” She smiled at me. “Playtime’s over.”

“Thanks,” I said. “I appreciate the help.”

She hurried from the Internet section into the cafe. The old man glanced at me as he followed, and the sun caught his eyes the way a camera flash sometimes does, turning them briefly red. I liked him even less than before.

Then the red disappeared and his eyes were just blue again; unfortunately, my paranoia remained.

So Rodolfo’s name meant wolf. As Maggie had pointed out, it was a common enough derivation for very old surnames, and around here, I bet many of them were as old as the swamp.

However, since Maggie had left the computer card in the computer, I decided I’d make use of it. I typed in “loup-garou,” got back nothing I didn’t already have, but I did find a list of ways to determine if someone was a werewolf.

I hit print, then started to read.

Hair on the palms.

“Not that I noticed.”

Purple urine.
