We remained quiet al the way home. I don't know what she was thinking, but my

thoughts were ful of what would happen if one of us got furry.

Would I be able to shoot her as she'd asked me to? Yes.

Would she be able to shoot me? It didn't real y matter, because I'd be able to shoot

myself.

Jessie let us into her apartment. She went straight to the message machine in the

kitchen.

"You have no new messages."

Her sigh of disappointment plucked at something too near my heart. I'd been in love

once. I'd lost him, badly. I understood where she was coming from.

Wil wasn't back yet; he hadn't cal ed, and she was even more worried.

I glanced at my watch. Three a.m. Not good. I was starting to worry myself.

"Take a shower," I told her.

"Kiss my ass."

She's baaack, my mind taunted. I'd been waiting for Jessie to snap out of her zone.

It figured that she'd do so cursing me.

"I'l pass," I returned, "but thanks anyway."

"I don't want to take a shower," she said mulishly. "I'm stil on duty."

"And I bet the people you've vowed to serve and protect wil be thril ed with your new look. Blood and werewolf brains are such a fashion statement."

"Do you have to be right al the time?" She stomped into the bathroom.

"That was a rhetorical question, right?"

She slammed the door in my face.

I opened her refrigerator and helped myself to a can of soda. Then I sat on the

couch and I considered what we'd learned.

Not much.

We stil didn't know where their lair was, and I had no idea what they were up to,

hiding human bones in the mine.

Hector was here. I was certain of it. But what was he planning? And how was the

brown wolf involved?

What about the power eater legend Wil had been mumbling about? I had to think we

were hip deep in something serious.

A tap on the windowpane made me jump so high I nearly levitated. I spun around,

gun in my hand, and came face to beak with a crow on the windowsil .

The thing tilted his head, first one way, then the other, as if trying to figure out what I was.

"Take off." I set my gun next to my cola, then made a shooing motion, to no avail.

Caw, he returned, then stretched out and tapped the glass again.

I was so preoccupied with the damn bird, I didn't notice the scratching at the door

until it was too late.

The lock clicked free.

I've been set up, I thought.

Crows and wolves work together in nature. Who's to say they don't work together

unnatural y, too. Had the pesky bird drawn my attention away from the door long

enough for one of the bad guys to get inside?

I sprinted across the room, pressed my back against the wal , waited for the intruder

to show himself.

He did, and I jumped him. In a quick, professional movement, he flipped me onto my

back, hard, then pressed a knee into my chest.

"Oh, hi, Leigh."

Cadotte was back.

He stood, then held out a hand to help me up.
