breakfast, chewing slowly, dreamily, reminiscing about the night before. Chase wouldn’t have been so conciliatory this morning if he’d known that Brad had snuck out while he was sleeping. Chase had woken him up, whining and yipping in his dreams, and he couldn’t get back to sleep again. Eventually, he’d decided to get up and take a look around the town.
    He’d shifted for speed. It was risky to be seen, but he figured the town would be deep asleep by now. He’d only planned to get a feel for it, to understand the lay of the land, but then he’d scented her. He had a piece of cloth, a tiny red morsel of fabric that had been caught in his teeth the day that he and Chase had run after the girl and toyed with her dress. His mother had given it to him before he began the long journey to Williston, and it was impregnated with the girl’s smell. He’d sniffed it several times during the long, long bus journey from New Mexico, and her scent was imprinted on his brain. As he wandered the streets, he hadn’t expected to pick it up, but, suddenly, there it was, right in the center of the small town, and overpoweringly strong. It wasn’t a scent that had rubbed off from something she’d touched. It was actually her! His heart leaping, he followed on its trail, quickly tracing it to a bar. And there she was, walking out of the bar. The girl of his destiny, and more beautiful than he could’ve imagined. She wasn’t skinny and rangy like the females of his pack; she had lush, soft, human curves. Her hips were full and rounded, and her breasts were more than a handful each. He fantasized about nibbling at the flesh of her generous thighs, or burying his face in the valley between her breasts, which was exposed so temptingly. As he watched, she rounded a corner and was waylaid by a wasted dude. Brad’s muscles tensed, ready to attack, as the guy looked to be making a grab for her, but she easily outwitted him, making him slam into a wall, and crumple in a heap on the ground. Brad stared in admiration. This girl was strong. She didn’t take any shit. He hadn’t known that human females could be so aggressive. But then, she wasn’t a human. There was a good chance she didn’t know it yet, but she was about to become one of them.
    Careful to keep a couple of blocks back, Brad tailed her all the way home. His ears pricked up at the snuffling sounds she was making, like a mole searching for food. Humans made some weird sounds sometimes! He watched until she was safely in her house, with the door locked. Then he loped all the way back to the hotel, where Chase was deeply asleep, snoring on his back.

    “What’s your plan?” Chase asked, bounding into the cabin. Brad licked his lips.
    “Great breakfast, dude,” he said.
    “Good,” Chase muttered. Brad knew he was starting to feel embarrassed at his unusual act of generosity. Brad was silent for a moment. He wasn’t going to mention that he’d already seen the girl, of course. And there was no way he was about to tell Chase that he had the piece of cloth.
    “I mean, there’s no saying the girl is actually in this town, is there?” Chase said. “Feasibly, she could be anywhere. Not just in the state, but across the whole country.”
    “The National Federation seems pretty confident that they’ve pinpointed her here,” Brad replied.
    “But how? They don’t have a name, because her parents changed it. It was like they went into witness protection or something. According to my mom, within days of us playing with the girl, they were all gone, without a trace.”
    “Who knows how they get their information, but they have a great record of locating bitten humans,” Brad said.
    “There’s only been like three in the past 20 years.”
    “They found all of them, which is a 100% success rate,” Brad said slowly. Chase scowled at him. He was always so calm and reasonable.
    “So we have a town, but no address,” Chase said, with a groan. An idea sparked in
