There were several ways I could handle Carlos and the other Fenerec. I could keep my casual appearance as I had my entire first week. In silent, mutual agreement, my partner and I had taken to wearing casual clothes to the office, although I’d kept a suit in my FBI-issued SUV in case we were called into the field.

Despite not having lived with my parents in over a decade, I kept several changes of clothes and everything I would need for a long-term stay at their house. I picked my best suit, grabbed a yellow tie for a splash of color, and made myself presentable.

My appearance would be my first weapon. If my mother was getting the pack to look presentable, the place would be crawling with suited FBI agents.

If the entire staff of my new office hadn't ostracized me for being Karma Johnson's partner, I wouldn't be choosing to earn their dislike with a major Fenerec power play. I settled my hip holster in place before heading downstairs.

The buzz for the gate sounded over the intercom as I was making my way back into the kitchen.

“You took too long,” my father chided.

I was right about my mother’s plan; the pack had dressed in suits with their badges and identification lanyards on display.

“Who wants to get the door?” my father asked.

My mother had changed into work clothing, too, and she headed for the entry.

“I better go with her so she doesn’t kill them.” I adjusted my cuffs, smoothed my tie, and followed after her, wondering if Carlos and his fellow Fenerec would survive if my mother decided to challenge them outright.

Probably not.

The driveway was packed with cars, and I was amused that almost all of them were openly marked as belonging to the FBI. Carlos and my other Fenerec co-workers had come in three vehicles, and they were dressed in jeans and t-shirts.

Blindsiding fellow FBI agents should have bothered me a lot more.

“How can I help you boys?” my mother called out.

“Uh, we’re looking for Agent Thomas.”

“I’m Agent Thomas.”

I lifted my hand and bit on my knuckle so I wouldn’t snort or laugh. My father joined in, hovering behind my mother. “I’m Agent Thomas, too.”

Carlos recovered faster than I expected. “Jake Thomas. We’re looking for Jake Thomas.”

“Come on in, boys,” my mother replied, backing into the house and leaving the door open.

The living room connected to the entry, and our pack gathered to watch. The instant Carlos made it to the door, he froze, his eyes brightening to gold and widening. I picked that moment to step into view. “Agent Carlos.”

“Agent Thomas,” he replied, straightening.

“You needed something?”

“Did something happen?”

I breathed in deep, satisfied at the undertones of worry and anxiety in the scents of the visiting Fenerec. “Just meeting with the pack,” I replied, heading deeper into the house and waving for them to follow me. “Worked with most of these folks at the Washington headquarters.”

“I thought you transferred here from Vegas.”

“I transferred to Vegas from Washington. You weren’t told
