Chapter 7

“Stay here,” Jeff told Nikki as left the office, disturbed not so much by what he had seen as by what he didn’t feel.

There was no sense that the wolf-figure was Unique. UQs can feel the presence of others around them. The fact that Jeff felt nothing from this creature left him with nothing but questions.

Was it an illusion? A hologram? He hoped so. Jeff did not like the idea of taking on a real monster werewolf, especially since the thing might have powers or strength he couldn’t handle or even predict.

The thought brought him to what happened the first night he and Erica were confronted by the vampire, Lavinia. They were caught way off guard and it cost Erica her life. Without an experienced Cadet Trainee, who would be Force if Jeff died here tonight? The answer was simple. No one. The tradition would have ended with him.

Jeff headed over to the desk sergeant, thinking that some well-armed backup would be handy.

“Who do we have on SWAT duty?” he asked.

The sergeant read off a list. It wasn’t long. Central had more manpower and firepower, but Precinct 35 was on the outskirts of the city.

“Call Mann and Chapman and have them meet me in the parking lot,” he told the sergeant, who stared at him strangely. He pointed out the front doors. “Don’t you see what’s out there?”

The man glanced outside and blanched.

At least Jeff could be confident that he wasn’t seeing things or that this mind hadn’t been taken over. That was something.

Detective Costner showed up with the two men in SWAT riot gear. “What the hell’s going on?”

Jeff nodded to the figure standing in the lot outside.

The detective’s face went through a series of contortions before mouthing the words, “Is that-”?

“I think so,” Jeff told him. “I don’t feel it as an UQ at all. Nikki knew it was coming, so it has to be the real deal, whatever that means.”

“Well, good luck then,” Detective Costner told him, pulling out his sidearm. “I’ll be here for back up.”

Of course he would, Jeff thought as he clenched his teeth. But hopefully the SWAT guys would be enough to help dissuade the thing.

“Okay, men,” he said to the pair of SWAT officers. “Let’s go.”

Jeff stepped out into the crisp night air, stopping at about ten feet from the imposing figure.

He was wrong about its height. It was way taller, roughly eight feet of fur, muscle, teeth, and claws.

Damn, first a vampire and now a werewolf. What was going on?

“All right,” Jeff stated. “Whatever you are, stand down. We are heavily armed and not looking for a fight, but don’t test us. I think you might know who I am. In case you don’t, I’m Force. I protect this city and its people.”

“I don’t care who you are,” the werewolf growled. “I am Stalker and I get what I hunt. Bring the boy out and you won’t get hurt. Get in my way and I will rip all of you to shreds.
