We shifters heal quicker than ordinary folks, and I was no exception. Twenty-four hours later, my pain had mostly gone away, but at Chelsea’s insistence, I still popped the antibiotics. After the bar closed, Jae, Morgan, and I planned to scope out Raphael’s stockpiles of food. “We don’t want to steal it yet,” Chad warned as he locked the bar. “No sense in tipping our hand yet.”

Shifting into our lion bodies, we loped down the alley as Chad started up his truck to go home to his family. “Raphael lives in the ritzier part of town,” I said, leading the way. “It shouldn’t be too hard to find cuz he has guards all over the place.”

A pack of three lions, even with one as small as me, was enough to deter marauders from pestering us as we traveled across town. Even so, we still kept to the shadows, and we hid from the single renegade group we saw until they vanished from sight. “Pity they don’t overdose and do us a favor,” Jae muttered, crouched beside me as the mix of lions and wolves disappeared down an alley.

“We can but hope,” Morgan replied. “Let’s go.”

Though I seldom came to this part of town, Raphael’s mansion wasn’t difficult to find. If it had been damaged in the wars, he had repaired it, for it showed little damage. It was huge and well maintained with a vast lawn and a three-car garage. His goons in cars and on foot patrolled for blocks around, faithfully guarding their master.

“How are we gonna slip past them?” Jae asked as we hid behind a pile of rubble strewn from a bombed structure two blocks from the house.

Gazing upward, I spied no enforcers up on the roofs above. “From up there.”

Slinking away, I led Jae and Morgan away from the goons and to a shattered building several streets away. Climbing the piles of broken cement, I leaped upward to enter it through a busted window. Behind me, Jae managed it without much effort, but Morgan, less agile, grunted and swore as he clawed his way in.

“Being smaller has its advantages,” he grumbled as he followed me through it to the roof.

“I always thought so,” I replied absently, bounding out the broken door and onto the roof. “Be careful where you put your feet. This roof is weak, and your heavy weight can send you tumbling.”

It creaked ominously as we headed for the edge to leap over to the house next door. “Shit,” Morgan muttered. “You weren’t kidding.”

From roof to roof, we crossed silently, finding no squads patrolling upon them. “This is a serious security breach,” Morgan observed. “Why doesn’t he have enforcers up here?”

“Arrogance,” I answered, staring over the edge in an effort to find a property where Raphael might store his supplies. After checking all four corners, I finally jerked my chin at a structure, a smaller version of his house, two streets from the big mansion. “That one looks awfully healthy. Think that could be it?”

To either side of me, Jae and Morgan gazed at the undamaged house.
