Chapter Seven

Rune shot her in the head.

The crew went to work controlling the other foxes, while trying to keep the humans alive.

If both of them died, the chances of finding Megan got a little bit slimmer.

Rune knew how Louisa felt, but it wasn’t her job to sympathize. As the woman lay bleeding on the floor, her body trying to fight off the silver streaking through her system, Rune dragged the man into a corner and out of the way.

“Stay down,” she ordered, but needn’t have bothered. He curled into a fetal position and didn’t move.

Denim tossed Mrs. Dunbar behind a sofa.

The foxes shifted, and the fight was on. One of the foxes tried to run, aware it was his only chance to live.

If the crew didn’t kill him, the state would.

The crew ended up killing only one of the foxes—a female who threw herself at Levi, buried her teeth in his neck, and tried to shake the life from him.

Rune nearly decapitated her with her silver claws. The fox wasn’t going to heal from that.

It took the crew only a few minutes to neutralize and silver the Others. They called paramedics to take the humans to the hospital, and Annex sent transport for the werefoxes.

It had been an unsatisfying encounter, but Louisa Smith had gotten what she wanted, even if she had failed in her attempt to kill Mr. Dunbar.

She’d gotten attention where she needed it—on her daughter.

Later, as she strode to Rice’s office, Rune thought the boy, Epik, must have been one of the pikes. But something was off about him. She didn’t know what it was, but something wasn’t right.

Bill motioned her into a chair, his brow furrowed, his hair standing on end. “Sit, Rune. Sit.”

She sat. “What’s wrong?”

He drew in a deep breath and visibly relaxed. “Too many things going on at once. But that’s nothing new, is it?” He took a noisy slurp of his coffee, grimaced, and clicked a button. “Alan, could I have a refill, please? And bring one for Rune.”

“Thanks,” she said. She’d never refuse a coffee. “Did you see the foxes yet?”

“No, but Elizabeth did.”

“Elizabeth is working?”

“Of course. It’s a tragedy about little Stefanie, but Elizabeth would rather keep busy than dwell on it.”

“What’s going to happen to George?”

Rice shrugged, his gaze darting to the door. “He woke up once, but went right back into his…coma, and hasn’t been conscious since.”

That didn’t answer her question. “Will Elizabeth take him if he recovers?”

“Certainly. But…” He spread his fingers. “It doesn’t look good for the boy.”

“Who took Fie?”

He took another drink of his coffee, then shoved it away. “Alan,” he bellowed, then grumbled, “I miss Ellis. He made a good assistant.”

Rune watched him. “What the fuck is wrong with you, Bill?”

He stood. “I don’t have time for questions right now, Rune. There is too much going on. Another body was discovered, we have those shifters to deal with, I’m trying to settle into this new place, Eugene is—”

“Another nailed body? You just found one.”

He nodded.
