Luke didn’t stop until we were outside and by the stone wall far out of hearing shot from the house. “Are there cameras around here?” he asked Stacy.

She nodded to the long row of lilac bushes that skirted the wall. “Not in there,” she told him. Stacy guided us into a cramped little hideaway hole. It was a tight squeeze, but we managed not to poke each other with our shoulders too often. “I made this when I was little, and thought it might come in handy some day,” Stacy explained with a smile.

Luke wasn’t amused. “We have big problems,” he told her.

“I guessed that from what you were trying to say to my father, but you may as well give up on him. Cranston has him in his pocket,” she replied.

“Cranston?” Baker spoke up.

She nodded. “The man with the glasses you just met. He’s Brian Cranston, a gift from Simpling to my father who arrived a few weeks ago.”

“A gift? Did somebody forget to tell me werewolves have slaves?” I quipped.

Stacy sighed and leaned back against a large lilac branch. “Currently my father fits that description better than Cranston. Since my father was no longer High Lord he lost the secretaries who went with the position. They helped him run not only Sanctuary, but also Manutia. Simpling offered Cranston as an assistant to help my father manage the large operation of being lord over such a heavily populated region,” she replied.

Luke raised an eyebrow. “How convenient that Simpling would have someone on hand to help your father.”

Stacy snarled. “Help my father? Cranston’s taken over his house, lord duties, and even his personality,” she bitterly argued. “My father hasn’t been the same since Cranston came. He’s absentminded and lethargic. When he does show any emotion it’s usually explosive. You saw an example of that when you came in. He’s always been loud, but not that angry.” I wanted to argue, but I could see how badly her father’s change affected her. There were dark bags under Stacy’s eyes and she looked pale.

“Has this Cranston guy done anything suspicious with your father’s duties?” Luke asked her.

She shrugged. “I don’t know. Father won’t let me into his office anymore, and Cranston is always around to stop me from asking him what’s going on. He says my father hasn’t been feeling well lately. I think he’s right, but he’s the one causing the illness.”

“When we were inside I smelled an odd scent. It smelled like Lance,” Luke told her.

Stacy’s lips pursed together. “So you smelled it, too? I’ve asked others about it, but their noses aren’t as sensitive as mine. The city air,” she told us.

“How did yours get sensitive?” I wondered.

She nodded at Luke. “Several years of training and staying at his house will make a mountain man out of anyone, even a woman.”

“Have you seen any signs of him?” Luke persisted.

She shook her head. “Not a sign, but I know the scent is strongest in my father’s office. I went in there the other day and was nearly suffocated by the stuff.
