The headlight went dark. “Yes!” Anjali muttered and yanked herself back inside the car, diving for the floorboards with the hammer still tightly in her hand. The car wouldn’t provide much protection from a bullet, but if they couldn’t see her, it would be harder to shoot her. She hoped.

“Nice job,” Jake said.

Anjali couldn’t see him directly from her position, but the light from the remaining headlight reflected his image on the closed driver’s side window like a mirror. Approval curved his hard mouth.

Warmth flowed through her at his praise, but a second later, it was replaced by an icy shaft of terror as a bullet ruptured the back windshield and embedded in the dashboard. She couldn’t hold back a scream.

Jake’s hand on the wheel blurred though the rest of him remained human. On his fingers, tawny fur replaced golden skin.

“Fuck!” His hand/paw slipped on the steering wheel as he struggled to maintain his grip.

Another shot took off the passenger side mirror.

Jake slammed on the brakes. The tires shrieked.

Anjali flew against the back of the diver’s seat, dropping the hammer and grabbing the bottom of the back seat for support. Ripped plastic pricked her palms as she scrambled for purchase, barely able to breathe past the lump in her throat.

The car skidded and came to an abrupt stop. As she struggled to a sitting position, Anjali heard the driver’s side door squeal open. The lion roared, making her heart stutter with a crazy combination of apprehension and relief. Though she still feared the awesome power of Jake’s other side, the stakes had once again devolved down to kill or be killed, and in lion form, Jake had proven himself very good at killing.
