Chapter 36

FRIDAY

It’s a bad night, that’s all. I interview every Were I’ve met. We laugh and joke. Then I ask them if they’re the rogue and they tug at the skin at the side of their head. Rubber facemasks slip off. Underneath, their expressions are as empty as corpses’. After I dream of Alex, I wake up and go to the bathroom.

The light is like pale yellow piss. I look tired in the mirror. Go figure. My skin looks unhealthy. I try to massage some life into my cheeks, but my face splits open and the corpse beneath stares blankly out at me from eyeless sockets.

After that, I did wake up, and went to the study to prepare for meeting the bounty hunters and Silas. It was still a rush job. Time seemed to be slipping through my fingers.

There was a message from Ingram; he wanted a call. I forwarded it to Julie to handle. I just couldn’t keep any more plates spinning. Whatever was going down at the Ops 4 base, I couldn’t let it distract me from what I had to deal with urgently here in Denver. I had to organize the hunters to find the remnants of House Matlal and their Blood slaves, and they had to find them in a matter of days.

I’d tell them they were looking for evidence of the rogue as well, but that was going to be my job. My gut feel had only got stronger overnight. The rogue was one of the Denver pack.

And Silas was going to be there at the meeting.
