Chapter Nine

From the camera posted outside Bank of America: The van (driven by Chase) appears at the lower left-hand side of the screen and progresses north at the posted speed limit. In a flash of headlights from a passing car, Ariadne Willow's face is visible through the windshield. At the center of the screen, another van (driven by an unknown woman) appears from the bottom sector of the screen. It impacts the hunter van in the rear quadrant, lifting the passenger-side wheels off the ground as it is pushed out of its lane. The side doors of the wolf van slide open. Two women climb out with guns drawn, masks over their face. Seconds later, a pair of wolves emerge and race past them.

Ari watched the confrontation again, then held her breath as Dale appeared. She ducked down, grabbed the wolf that had gone down in a spray of blood, and hauled her up into the van. Lorne had fired again while Dale was exposed, and Ari felt a surge of anger. If he'd accidentally hit her, if he'd even winged her arm, Ari knew she would have gone feral without the help of wolfsbane. Then there was the question of who had been shot. It wasn't Milo, and neither of the masked women - whoever the hell they were - had her mother's height or build. That meant one of the two unidentified wolves was Gwyneth Willow, and there was a fifty-fifty chance her mother had been the wolf that Dale rescued.

Her mother might very well be dead.

Of course it could also have been another stranger, one of Milo's friends, but would Dale have gone into the line of fire for a stranger? Or would she have taken the risk because she knew how much it would mean to Ari? The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She expected to have conflicting feelings about that, but in truth all she felt was sadness. She didn't want her mother to be dead, didn't want to be an orphan. She had gone half her life without even laying eyes on the woman, but the thought of losing her this way...

"Are you okay?"

She nearly jumped. She had forgotten Keighley was sitting at the next desk, and his voice had seemed to come from right next to her head. She blinked rapidly and gestured at the screen. "Too long sitting here staring at a screen. This is why I have a secretary."

"Hm."

She stamped down her emotions about what might have been and started the next video.

From the camera at Starbucks: The hunter van progresses from left to right. In the slowest possible speed, the wolf van is visible accelerating toward the intersection from Lenora Street. Gwen's face is visible through the windshield, but the image is blurry enough that no amount of zooming or enhancing will be able to identify her. Ari is only sure because she's so familiar with her mother's face. In this angle, the hunter's van blocks the view of the assault.
