Chapter 17

When he walked out with the largest of the three wolves, it brought into question what precisely Reaper’s sexual interests were. The smallest guy would have…

No. I didn’t want to think about that.

I was fighting to keep myself from laughing because the sight of Reaper in his little sailor’s outfit was simply ridiculous.

But it was time to be a professional.

I snorted just as they stepped by the hidden zone. The guy looked over and Reaper shoved him at me. I knocked the dude unconscious with the butt of my gun, which was amazing considering my laughter was in full force. Fortunately for me, it had all happened so fast that the guy couldn’t have seen it coming.

That was the thing about hidden zones, not even supers could spot them until it was too late.

“Are you finished?” Reaper seethed.

“You talking to him or me?” I teased.

Just as I was sending down Reaper’s boyfriend to an interrogation cell in the Netherworld PPD, the zone cleared. Before Reaper could get it back online, the other two wolves came outside.

This would have been okay except for that other thing about hidden zones…they didn’t tend to last forever.

“Hey, what’s…” the smaller of the two started as his pal dissolved into thin air. He blinked a couple of times and then looked at us more closely. “You! You’re the Retrievers.”

He went for his tattoo, but I wasn’t going to let him melt himself. I shot him in the hand, throwing a Death Nail straight through it, which wouldn’t kill him, but it’d serve to block him from activating the damn melt option.

He yelped as I yelled, “Fire, Reap!”

Reaper brought up his arm and launched off a fireball at the other wolf. Unfortunately, he missed…by a lot. The ball flew off and struck a building down the street, lighting it on fire almost immediately.

The second shot, though, hit the dude square in the chest, eliciting a scream like I’d never heard before. I know getting slammed by a fireball was brutally painful, but whatever Reaper blasted off at the guy was either worse than the stuff mages launched or this guy was a real wuss. He fell to the ground, slapping at himself as he continued to scream.

Reaper jumped over and snapped up his trench coat from near the building and threw it at the burning guy, trying to smother the flames.

The smaller wolf took off toward the burning building.

“Freeze, fucker,” I called after him, “or I swear I will end you.”

He didn’t freeze.

I ended him with a nicely placed Death Nail in the back, which sucked because I wanted to question the little fucker. Still, better dead than roaming the streets under whatever hold Lucien Bane had on him.

“This one is going to die, Piper,” Reaper panted moments after the little guy did die. “I’m putting him in stasis.”

“Yeah, okay,” I said, caring more about Reaper’s feelings than about the life or death of the wolf who had tried to kill us earlier that night. “Do what you gotta do, Reap, but you don’t have much time.
