CHAPTER 18

R ic walked into the Group office. He felt better after getting Lock’s perspective and now he needed to get some office work done before he made that call, using the three hour time difference between New York and the West Coast as an excuse to delay the inevitable.

“Morning, Charlene.” He stopped by the front desk and took the mail from the perky fox admin, who always had a smile. “Everything going all right?”

“Yep. We have visitors, though. Detective MacDermot and Marcella Malone of KZS.”

“Any problems?”

“Don’t think so. They’re in one of the training rooms.”

“Good. Thanks.”

Knowing that Dee Ann hated to be interrupted during her workout, Ric headed straight for his office. As soon as he stepped inside, he knew that the She wolf had been there. Her scent still lingered and she’d left a report on his desk, along with a note.

We need to talk. Dee

Vividly remembering the last twenty minutes of his conversation with Lock: Let’s face it, you’ll never hold on to Dee, so when she dumps you which will be way sooner than later just accept it. You’ll be better off and live longer, Ric couldn’t shake the feeling he had, in fact, been dumped. Already. Talk about not giving a guy a chance.

Annoyed and with no intention of listening to the bear’s advice on this particular subject, Ric crumpled up the note and tossed it into the trash can.

“Hi, Abby. You okay?” Did she need a walk? God, he hoped not. That would just be beyond the realm of weird.

She barked, ran away, charged back, barked.

He remembered to have patience and decided not to tell her to cut the crap, shift already, and tell him what she wanted him to know. “Do you need me to see something?” he asked, tempted to add

“Lassie” to the end of that.

She nodded and started off again.

Ric followed Abby down several hallways until they reached the room with the training ring where Group members practiced hand to hand combat.

Unfortunately, Ric couldn’t really see what was going on. It seemed that everyone in the Group had stuffed themselves inside or at the big windows that looked in.

Abby crouched down and crawled on the floor, but Ric wasn’t about to do that. He had his dignity. Instead, he pushed his way in, ignoring the snarls, growls, and nips that followed.

The fist slammed into Dee’s throat and she dropped to her knees. Malone moved on her, swinging at her again, but Dee caught her arm, yanked the She tiger in, and turned her, dropping her to the mat. She then pushed her knee into Malone’s chest and twisted her arm up and away from her body.

While Dee was trying to get Malone to submit,
