I popped upstairs, reeking of phosphorus smoke but with Lissa’s necklace clutched tightly in my hand.

“That was quick,” Mark deadpanned.

“I was motivated.”

I handed the necklace to Mark.

He felt the acorn between his thumb and forefinger, then swabbed it with a clear liquid from one of the glass vials in his bag.

“I think Lissa’s right—it’s water buffalo,” Mark said.

What a let-down. I thought for sure we had the source of our tiger.

But Mark wasn’t through. He pulled out a zippered pouch of jeweler’s tools and went to work on the silver fitting of the acorn. He unscrewed a tiny finial and removed the cap.

“There’s something in here,” Mark said.

He picked up some long tweezers and reached inside the acorn. He drew out a small butterscotch-colored cone. It was slightly transparent, like Daisy’s tortoiseshell comb. Mark sniffed it, then snapped his head back and wrinkled his nose.

“It smells like tiger.”

He examined the object with his jeweler’s loupe. “It’s the tip of a claw, I think,” he said.

“Is that enough to build an entire tiger from?”

Mark looked grim. “Absolutely.”

Great—just great. “Is it enough for you to make it go away?”

Mark smiled. “Absolutely.”
