While Donners told us about Euthal’s efforts to transform himself into a supernatural powerhouse, I gorged on my mother’s cooking. I ate every last scrap of food at the table, and I whined when there wasn’t anything left.

“Where’s your new house, boss?” Luke asked. “We’re obviously at the put you to bed stage of the day. We can’t do any more real work right now. Give me your apartment key. I’ll take Donners over, we’ll populate the digital board with new information, and we’ll bring it over.”

“I’ll go with you,” Dad announced. “Eddy, keep an eye on Olivia.”

The dragoness saluted. “I’ll take them to the grocery store. She’ll need more. She’s got a lot of burned energy to recover, and after the few days she’s had, that barely counted as a snack.”

“That’s a lot of food.” Raymond nudged me with his elbow. “How much will I need to cook for you?”

“A lot.” I groaned and stared at the duck bones littering my plate. “I could use a steak. Dad makes good steaks.”

“I do. After I help them bring the digital board over, I’ll fire up the grill at your place and feed you again, but you need to properly walk Alex through the Oakland City Center case.”

“Deal. Don’t you damage my board, old man.”

“I’ll be careful with it. Detective Davis, poke her if she tries to take a nap. She’ll be hard to get up if she goes to sleep now.”

Donners patted my head and chuckled, just as he’d done so many years ago. “It’s an issue with strong elementalists. They can run siphoning off power from their element, but when they return to acting like a regular human, they need to replenish everything. They have heightened metabolisms during a gorge.”

“Don’t you laugh at my misfortune.”

“Eddy, get her on the move before she goes to sleep,” my father ordered.

She grabbed my ear and pulled until I scrambled out of my chair. “Hey!”

“Detective Hunk, with us. Mrs. Abrams, can we follow you?”

“Of course. I’ll even make another duck if we can find one.”

I jerked free of Eddy’s hold and bolted for the front door, slowing long enough to grab my purse on the way.
