Normally, I don’t have much trouble controlling my shapeshifting, but damn, that woman gets me hot and bothered. I see her and my temperature automatically goes up sixty degrees. There are only two solutions when I’m pumping that much adrenaline: sex or shapeshifting. I prefer the sex, but there are matters of propriety, especially concerning senior officers in the Coast Guard Services and what’s acceptable to the public. What I wouldn’t give for the good old days when everyone was tribal, and shapeshifters were considered a hot date. You can’t win them all, but I would sure like to win one argument with Natalia.

She was right. She was always right. If she hadn’t come with us, we probably would have bungled it when we found the girl, especially since Lee found her first. Lee’s a good kid, but he has all the tact of a musk ox. He probably would have terrified her to death before we could get her on the boat.

I didn’t like it, though. I didn’t like her coming ashore land. If there had been one shooter and that shooter had come close to hitting her, I think I would have ripped the entire lodge to shreds getting at him and, consequently, destroying all our evidence.

We had a lot, enough to make our case for murder in any court. I don’t think Denisovich knew we were riding so closely on his tail or he would have been more careful about cleaning up. He clearly didn’t think it mattered. He thought his Valdez crew had wiped up their island headquarters. He had no way of knowing, because nobody had returned to Valdez. There had been no one to sound the alarm. And since Natalia had never showed up either, there was no reason for anyone to get suspicious. At least, not right away. And right away was all that mattered.

Only one person, besides the admiral, knew our destination, and that was the Sitka harbor master. He was trustworthy. I radioed him, confirming McCarthy’s death and the deaths of his top officers. I knew it would cause a major rumble, but it wasn’t something we could keep under our hats forever. People needed closure.

The next morning when we went to check on our victim, she was cranked halfway into a sitting position, awake and sipping water through a straw. She drew back when she saw me, so I stopped at the door, leaving it open to reassure her. Darkhorse and Roy remained standing behind me, and only Natalia and Lee went inside the room.

The girl was more receptive toward Natalia than she was toward Lee. She turned in her bed and reached for Natalia’s hands, mouthing words that would not leave her throat. Natalia knew what to do. She pulled up a chair so that she was sitting so close, her woodsy, spruce-trees-and-wildflowers scent overrode the smell of hospital antiseptics.

“It’s okay,” she said kindly. “You strained your throat. The doctor said it’s better if you don’t try to speak right now.
