Chapter 15

Despite the early hour, as soon as the others left for their flight, Vaughn wanted to see Douglas. “He’s an early riser.” Even though Douglas wasn’t out of his comatose state yet, Vaughn always treated him as though he was.

“I want to run as a wolf through the area afterward. See if we might find any other trails that would give us a clue about the jaguar who was shot,” Jillian said.

“I agree. But it’s been raining so much, I’m not sure we’ll find anything further. Still, it never hurts to have another couple pairs of eyes check things out again. They will let us into the clinic to see Douglas, won’t they?” Howard asked.

“Yeah. That’s the great thing about it being wolf-run. General hospital rules don’t apply here.” Vaughn parked the Land Rover, and they all got out.

Inside, Sally greeted them, and they went in to see Douglas. Before they could say anything to him, Jillian said, “Ohmigod, the window’s open. Why would anybody have opened the window? I’ll warn Sally.” She ran out of the room.

Howard and Vaughn quickly checked on Douglas’s condition. He was breathing fine, and his heartbeat was still steady, thank God. “No scent left behind,” Vaughn said, smelling the air for any sign that a jaguar had been there recently.

“Yeah, the bastard must have been wearing hunter’s spray, but he left muddy paw prints on the floor.” Howard pointed to them. “Most likely a male’s because of the bigger size prints. How much do you want to bet he heard us pull up, opened the window, and leaped out?”

They both looked out the window and saw pugmarks in the wet grass.

The nurse rushed into the room with Jillian. “No, I never would have opened the window.” She hurried to shut it.

“Did he have any visitors last night or before we arrived this morning?” Vaughn asked, wondering how the hell the jaguar had gotten in without anyone seeing him.

“No. Well, some of the children from the pack came and read to him last night. But you’re the first visitors he’s had this morning.”

“When was the last time you checked on him?” Jillian took hold of Douglas’s hand.

“Just ten minutes ago.”

Vaughn checked the window again to make sure it was locked. “Tell Leidolf to post a guard for Douglas. Do you have a room where we can shift? We’ll try to track down the visitor.”

Sally motioned toward the north side of the clinic. “You can use exam room three.”

“Thanks.” Vaughn, Jillian, and Howard headed for the room and saw the muddy jaguar paw prints all the way to the wolf door that led outside. “So that’s the way he came in.”

“He was just lucky no one caught him,” Jillian said.

Vaughn snorted. “Hopefully we’ll catch the bastard this time and his luck will run out.”

They entered the exam room and began stripping.

“Should Jillian follow in the Land Rover with a gun?” Howard asked.

“No,” Jillian said. “If a jaguar slipped in here, he wouldn’t be driving a vehicle.
