I found Shadow walking past the truck and caught up to him just down the road. “Mind telling me where we’re going to go after we get to your car?” I questioned him.

“To my home. Yours may no longer be safe,” he told me.

“And your home is where?” I persisted.

“I have a townhouse two dozen blocks from here,” he explained.

“A Shadow with a townhouse? Trying to hide from the sun?” I quipped.

He cracked a smile. “Something like that.”

I spotted a dirty jeep a quarter mile down the road. Shadow unlocked the vehicle and we slid into the seats. There was a cup holder between us with a tall, closed-lid water bottle in it. I picked it up and shook it. Something sloshed around.

“Shadows need to drink now, too?” I wondered.

Shadow started the car and turned us around. “It’s water. You can have some if you want,” he offered.

My mouth felt like a desert, but I put the water bottle down. “Pass.”

Shadow picked up the water bottle and downed some of the contents. He held it out to me. “Do you still think it’s drugged?” he asked me.

I frowned, but took the water bottle from him and drank some of the stuff. It was water, clear and cold. “Thanks,” I replied as I dropped the bottle back into its holder.

“Don’t mention it,” he answered.

I looked out the window at the rusted warehouses and alleys used as dumps by the city’s poor. My face was reflected in the mirror, and did I look awful. I was as pale and dry as an old sub sandwich, and there were dark lines under my eyes that looked like I’d botched a makeup job.

“So are you going to tell me who those guys were?” I spoke up without turning away from the window.

Shadow sighed. “They were members of a-a rival gang.”

I glanced at him. “I know a lot of gangs. Which one was it?”

“Garu.”

I raised an eyebrow. “I don’t know that one. What neighborhoods do they control?”

“Half the town.”

I folded my arms across my chest. “If they controlled half the town I’d know about it,” I insisted.

“They make it their business not to let you know their existence,” he countered.

“So what else do they deal in besides kidnapping?” I asked him.

Shadow pursed his lips. “Everything. Drugs. Blackmail. Theft. Nothing is too low for them.”

“So you’re telling me there’s this all-powerful gang controlling and terrorizing half the city and its crime, and the police don’t know about them?” I pointed out.

“Yes.”

I leaned back in my seat and snorted. “Are you insane?”

“If only I was. . .” he murmured.

I cast a glance at him. He looked straight ahead and his bright eyes didn’t blink. I’d never seen a guy look so serious except when he was about to ask a girl to marry him. I jerked my chin at him. “Okay, say I believe you about this gang. What’s your angle with them?”

“Mortal foes, if you’ll pardon the dramatic expression,” he explained.

“Uh-huh. So you’re some sort of a superhero fighting against a shadowy crime syndicate?” I wondered.
