I scramble for my door handle and jump out of the car as the shifter moves back into human form then lifts Louis, pinning him against the wall in front of the car, forearm braced against his throat.

“Where is she?” the guy snarls.

Louis makes a choking noise and scratches at the arm across his throat.

“Answer me,” says the shifter through clenched teeth as he leans closer to Louis’s face.

I call a little magic into my hands as I make my way around the back of the car to come up behind the shifter. “If you actually want an answer, you might want to let him breathe.”

The shifter spins to face me without releasing Louis. “We have no quarrel with you, witch. Just—”

“Zeke?”

“Who…?” His brows pull together then his eyes widen. “Donovan’s witch.”

“Otherwise known as Selene,” I say dryly. “Why don’t you put my friend down and we can talk.”

Zeke turns back to Louis and bares his teeth. “Don’t try anything.”

Louis narrows his eyes but dips his chin slightly in acknowledgment. Zeke releases him, and Louis falls to the ground on his knees, coughing and gasping. I approach him slowly, keeping my gaze trained on Zeke.

“You okay?” I ask Louis, placing a hand on his back where the muscles are still shuddering.

“Fine,” he bites out.

I edge my way slightly in front of Louis, facing Zeke. “Who exactly are you looking for?”

“Penny,” says Zeke. “She’s supposed to be at the detention facility, but she’s not.”

I already knew as much from Reid, but… “Why would my friend know where she is?”

Another shifter registers with my senses as a voice sounds from off to the side. “Because his mother is the one who checked her out.”

If no one at the detention facility has any memory of Penny, then how did these two find out that information? Reid definitely didn’t mention it, so Allister’s contact must not have known, either.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” says Louis, his voice hoarse.

The second shifter moves into view from behind a van parked a couple spaces over and steps to stand beside Zeke. I don’t recognize him, but he seems to know who I am.

“The Donovan witch...” His eyes narrow, and his upper lip curls away from his teeth. “You’re the reason we’re in this mess.”

I want to ask exactly which mess he’s talking about—there are so many at this point—but antagonizing him when I’m essentially backed against a wall would not be a good idea.

The second shifter turns his glare on Zeke. “We aren’t here to find your girlfriend.”

“I know that, Teegan,” snaps Zeke. The other shifter from the party. “But I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask while he was off guard.”

“As long as we complete the mission, I guess it doesn’t matter.” Teegan smirks at Louis. “Maybe once he’s changed, you can use an alpha command on him to get the information you need.”

Oh crap. They’re here to bite Louis. Not a great idea considering how closely his family is tied to OSA, but I doubt these two spend a lot of time thinking.
