The buzz of the bullpen engulfed me like an old friend when I strode onto the floor after a quick stop by Dominik and Emilia’s cell. There was something in the action-oriented atmosphere that never failed to anchor me, although I had a feeling seeing Dominik well, if locked up, had certainly played a massive role in uplifting my mood.

Sensing my approach as he always did, Finn whistled and rotated his chair to face me fully.

He raked his gaze down my hair. “Don’t you look all nice!”

“Thanks.” I threw my fresh twists over my shoulder and struck a pose. “Got to look good to work good, right?”

He grumbled, but there was a lightness to the sound I was glad to hear. This was where we were at our best.

“Care to work some of your magic juju?” He arched a brow high.

I dropped into my chair and powered up the computer, side-eyeing him. “Aren’t you the magic man in this relationship?”

Finn actually puffed out his chest and tapped it. Hard.

I half-snorted, half-chuckled. “So, what’s on the menu today that needs my juju? Did you get the reports from PD already?”

We’d hit more dead ends than leads over the past couple of days. Nothing on Milton. Nothing on that damn witch. At least Dominik and Emilia’s curse had remained dormant throughout this time, but they were still locked in an ICRA cell with tight, twenty-four-seven surveillance and a constant, unspoken anticipation about when it would happen again.

Moving nowhere wasn’t an option.

I hoped more than I dared to admit that there would be something in the police reports on the bloody threats Aric had received that would open up another avenue for us to explore.

“Yeah, we got the PD reports. They came in just earlier today.” Finn started to shove a folder my way when my stationary phone went off.

I glanced at the screen, then scrambled to answer when I saw the caller.

“Lotte?”

The instant I spoke her name, Finn dragged his chair beside mine with such force we collided. I quickly righted myself and, while my partner mouthed sorry, put Lotte on speaker.

“I found your guy,” she fired, “aaaand I might have taken the liberty of interviewing him.”

My lips parted, but nothing came out.

Thankfully, Finn had retained better control over his vocal cords. “What did you find out?”

“Well, he certainly remembers the buyer and has all the relevant documents, but the ID belonging to one Jennifer Abbot was a fake. I ran some checks but couldn’t find a damn thing.”

I grunted. This was better than the witch meddling with the guy’s mind like she did with the bureaucrats, but it still left us with nothing.

“However,” Lotte went on, and I perked up, “our guy is a werewolf. Your witch buyer got a call while they were making the sale. She moved away for some privacy, but not far enough. He overheard an American man on the other side of the line call her Shelby.”

“And he didn’t think it was dodgy to sell his house to someone who went by another name?” I drawled.
