Chapter 6

Sleeping on a bench on the side of the road is maybe not the best place to try and recover from injuries, but having a phone shrieking into your ear and almost making you jump right down onto the concrete also isn’t the best way to wake up either. But that was where we were at, twenty minutes of sleep broken by Joseph’s name popping up on my screen telling me that someone either had some very good news or some very, very bad news.

Considering our luck lately, you can’t blame me for thinking it’s the latter.

“Hello Amy,” Joseph said, clicking his tongue in that way he only ever did when he was concerned, “I heard that you had a little incident before.”

“Joseph,” I sighed, “Thanks for calling, I was actually having a pretty nice rest, can’t have that lasting too long.”

“Oh of course not, wouldn’t want you to heal up too well now would we?” He cleared his throat, taking a few seconds to gather himself before asking, “Are you alright?”

“I’m… fine, more or less. I’ve got a lot of bruises, more stitches than I know what to do with, but I’m alive at least. It could easily have gone another way, I’m just glad that it didn’t.”

“As am I Amy, as am I. I wanted to thank you for the warning that you gave me after the incident with the hunters, I pulled my people together just in time to avoid a tragedy, it turns out that they were making a move on us just as they were on you, but the situation is now handled.

Not just because of the fact that all of us would have been caught off guard, that was a given, but for the fact that it means that they are just being absolutely reckless with their own lives. Four ambitious attacks in a single day? That’s a shocking level of overconfidence to say the least.

“Are Christine and the boy ok? We heard that apparently there was quite the scene when you all arrived, apparently she lost her clothes sometime in the commotion? Which I’ve certainly done myself once or twice, I’m sure, but it’s still cause for concern.”

“She partially transformed and destroyed her clothes in the process, it was… surprising, but it’s also one of the things that saved all of our lives. She’s resting up in her office, I don’t think she’ll be able to fight for another day or two, Archie is still young and inexperienced so you can write him off for at least a few weeks, but he managed to keep himself alive until we got there, you can’t just sweep that aside.”

“Certainly not,” Joseph said, “If
