I look everywhere, and still I can't find Matt DiMera. He's not in the pub where I met him, and the barman says he's never heard of him. He's not in the club. There's just no way of contacting him at all. It's as if he intentionally covered his tracks so that I'd not be able to find him when I need him. Still, he'll hear about the incident in the hotel soon, so I guess he'll at least know to start looking for me.

“You working tonight?” Rossiter asks, heading into the club just as I'm heading out.

“Can't!” I blurt out, rushing past.

“Make sure you're back tomorrow!” he shouts after me. “If you want to keep your job!”

I run across the road and around the corner, straight into Matt DiMera, who grabs hold of me to stop me from falling over. He winces with pain.

“I've been looking for you!” I shout, stepping back. “What the hell happened to you?”

Matt grins awkwardly. He can barely stand, unable to put weight on one of his legs, and he generally seems to be in pain. “I got hit by a car,” he says. “I was chasing some guy. Different case. Don't worry, I've seen a doctor. It's just really bad bruising”.

I nod. “Okay,” I say. “Did you hear what happened at the hotel?”

He shakes his head. “I know the place got trashed, so I'm kinda suspecting there was a wolf involved”.

“Two wolves,” I say. “I saw them. Both of them. Duncan and -”

“Impossible,” Matt interrupts. “There aren't two werewolves in London. There's just one. Duncan”.

“I saw them,” I say. “Duncan and a bigger one”.

“No,” says Matt, shaking his head.” Greystone monitors these things very carefully. We know the movements of every werewolf in the country, and there's only one in London right now”.

“You're wrong,” I say. “I've seen the other one. He was right up close to me, I looked him in the eye”.

“I appreciate your enthusiasm,” Matt says, “but you're wrong. Trust me, we'd know. You probably just panicked when Duncan attacked you, it's easy to do”.

“Fuck you,” I say. “I know what I saw”.

Matt opens his mouth to argue with me, but he seems to sense that there's no point. “Come on,” he says, “let's find somewhere to talk”.

We walk – well, I walk and he limps – to a small cafe, where we take a window seat and order some coffee.

“Tell me what this other wolf looked like,” Matt says. “Everything about him”.

“You believe me now?” I ask.

“Let's just say, like Alice I try to believe a few impossible things each day”.

I sigh. “The other wolf was big. And black. And his breath stank. It's like...” I try to think of a way to explain it. “When I've seen Duncan as a wolf, he always seems clean and noble, but this other wolf just seemed to be insane”.

“So you don't even know that the other one is a werewolf?” Matt says. “It could just be a wolf”.

“That's not what Duncan says,” I reply.
