Chapter 17

With the power knocked out from the storm, it was as dark in her mother’s shop as it was outside, but Triana barely noticed. She was simply too exhausted, physically and mentally, to care by the time they finally got home. She wasn’t sure what she thought about having Remy and his SWAT teammates there, even if they had saved her life and her mother’s. She felt horrible for even thinking like that, but she was so confused by everything she’d seen and needed time to figure it all out.

Not that how she felt seemed to matter at the moment, since not only had Remy refused to leave them on their own, but her mother had also firmly stated she wouldn’t stand for any of the men driving back to their hotel at that time of night, not with the way the wind and rain was kicking up right then.

So the guys stayed downstairs in the shop, making sure the windows weren’t going to blow in and water wasn’t going to come rushing under the door, while Triana went upstairs with her mother, hoping to get her head around everything.

She sat at the kitchen table while her mom bustled around the kitchen, heating up soup on the gas stove and getting all the flashlights and emergency lamps out. Triana had no idea how her mother did it. The events at Lee’s house had drained her like a battery. She couldn’t even put in the effort to change out of her wet clothes.

Half of her exhaustion came from all the questions the police had asked her after the shooting had stopped. Triana was a little surprised the cops had even shown up, considering the storm was so bad, but she supposed a shoot-out involving automatic weapons didn’t happen every day in Kenner, so police, detectives, and politicians had come out of the woodwork.

Following her mother’s suggestions, she’d kept her statements brief and vague. Quinn had lured her to a warehouse in the Marigny by saying he had information relating to her father’s murder. When she’d gotten there, she’d seen Quinn shoot another man; then, Quinn had knocked her unconscious and taken her to Lee’s home. Lee and Quinn had confessed to arranging the murder of her father because he refused to sell drugs through his club. Lee had lured her mother to his home to clean up any loose ends; then, the SWAT officers had stormed the place and rescued her.

She stayed away from any mention of werewolves or questions that veered outside the boundaries of her narrow story line. Of course, those were the questions the Kenner PD were most interested in. Why had Quinn told her about her father’s murder? Why had a team from New Orleans and Dallas SWAT come to her rescue? Where were Lee and Quinn now? Why were the men in custody claiming they’d been attacked by glowing-eyed monsters?

Triana’s answer to those questions and all the others just as impossible to explain was a plain and simple “I don’t know.
