With Jack’s authority, Delilah got her hands on the more in-depth file of Agent Kirk. Turned out, Kirk was a bit of a loner. He’d wanted to be a field agent but hadn’t quite managed to pass all the extra training to take that step. He was kept as a low-level agent, carrying a badge and a gun, while tasked with the lighter security work. This could bother a man who had planned and prepared his whole life to be a field agent.

Then there was the smell.

A shifter in their full form always smelled different than when they were presenting as a human, but other shifters could identify specific odors. If it was bad enough that he’d gotten dressed-down for it, that would mean it was a lot worse when in the full shifter form.

None of this was proof of misbehavior, let alone of being a murderer. The guy could have just had poor hygiene.

But that didn’t stop her from ticking boxes off inside her head.

“It makes sense for him to make the most of his kills in the water,” Delilah said. “Any land-dwelling shifter might catch the scent before the attack, but the water would mask a creature that was lurking below.”

One big setback in the investigation was the lack of photo proof of the agents in their animal shapes. The photo Gary did have on file for his animal shape looked too well lit and positioned. A quick image search proved that it was a stock photo from the Internet.

She was shocked it had made it through.

So, unless this guy had an amazingly good reason for not sending in an actual photo of himself in his reptile form and a good alibi, then it was looking more and more as though she might have stumbled across the juiciest suspect ever.

She turned to social media for help. Most shifters managed to sneak in a few photos of themselves in their animal forms on social media.

Wolf shifter? No problem: Went hiking today, look at this beautiful wolf who showed up on my trail!

Hawk shifter? Snapping a timed photo of yourself perched on a tree branch made you a bird watcher.

Panda? Well, that was a little rarer, but anyone could make up visiting a zoo somewhere or a trip to China.

For this guy? Nothing.

He wasn’t a born Scott either, despite his name. He came from the southern United States. A New Orleans boy.

Why the hell wouldn’t he have any photos of a couple of crocodiles? A photo of himself in his gator form with mom and Aunty June standing next to him, pretending to be taking a trip and making memories?

That got to her.

It made sense that a rare shifter wouldn’t have pictures of themselves.

Something itched at her memory, and she pulled up the files of the deceased bunyip.

Some bunyips were said to have the head of a large feline. Others thought they had a face closer resembling a hippo, like this one did.

And then there were the ones who were described as having the head of a crocodile.
