bag is still in the corner there,” she told him, pointing to where Garrett had been sleeping. “I bet he just went to get coffee.” She couldn’t see Garrett taking off without a goodbye to the kid.
    “Not just coffee,” Garrett announced as he walked in. “I got a chocolate milk here too. I wonder who I’ll give it to.”
    “Me!” Nick cried as he waved his hands.
    “Well, I guess you can have it,” Garrett teased.
    Lily was surprised when he passed her a large to-go cup as he made his way to the bed. “Yum,” she murmured as the aroma of the fresh coffee drifted up to her.
    “House blend,” Garrett said before he winked at her. And damn if her knees didn’t go weak.
    She didn’t care what it was as long as it was brewed strong.
    Nick giggled as Garrett reached down and tickled him. Lily found herself smiling as she watched them.
    “Okay, little man,” Garrett said to Nick. “You drink this and I’ll turn on some cartoons for you. I need to speak with Lily for a minute.”
    “Sure,” Nick agreed easily.
    Lily sipped on her beverage as Garrett got Nick sitting up in bed with his drink and Scooby Doo on the television mounted on the wall. Once Nick was busy, Garrett motioned her into the hall.
    Since he had brought her an amazingly good coffee, she rose without question.
    “We’ll just be in the hall,” he called to Nick before following her out and closing the door behind them.
    “What’s going on?” she questioned as she leaned against the wall.
    “I need to talk to you about where you’re going to take Nick once he’s released,” Garrett told her.
    Lily had been waiting for this conversation. “I’ve already spoken to the Alpha of the Pack. He’ll take Nick in until we find his dad.”
    Garrett was shaking his head before she’d even finished her sentence. “That’s not going to work.”
    “And why not?” she asked skeptically. Garrett seemed like a nice guy and he was hot as fuck but he wasn’t going to tell her how to do her job.
    “Listen,” he said as he held up his hands. “I just spoke to Lieutenant Haas. The Alpha compound had a breach last night.”
    “Oh my god.” Lily had to tighten her hand on her cup to keep from dropping it. “Was anyone hurt?”
    “No, the guards responded quickly and no one got in. But it might not be safe for Nick. Someone is targeting shifters,” Garrett said.
    Lily glanced back toward the door that Nick was safe behind. This did complicate matters. She couldn’t put Nick in any more danger. It was her job to keep him safe. “Okay, I have other homes I can place him in. Human families that shouldn’t be targets.”
    “They won’t be able to protect him. What if whoever took his dad comes back for Nick? That might be what the attempted break-in was about. Plus Randy’s business was broken in to,” Garrett argued. “He needs to be with shifters but not somewhere that anyone would look for him.”
    Lily agreed but her choices were limited.
    “So here’s what we’ll do. I put a call into my sister and asked if she and Cooper could take Nick for a few days. They’re working different shifts right now so someone will always be with him. Plus we have a couple of buddies, shifters, that will hang out when Julie is alone with Nick,” Garrett told her.
    Lily wasn’t entirely sure how she’d lost the upper hand of the conversation with Garrett but she was determined to let him know that she wouldn’t be bullied into doing what he wanted. No, her job was to care for and protect Nick.
    “I understand how you feel but it is against department policy to place Nick with someone who is not trained for this type of situation,” she told him.
    “You were going to place him with his Alpha,” Garrett replied.
    “Yes, and depending on what Jeremy says about the break-in I still might. He’s met all our requirements and is qualified to foster children temporarily. If he’s not able to take Nick now, I have other homes that are fully capable
