with them. The gashes were deep
enough to cause severe pain but not instant death.”
“What does that have to do with Anna?”
    “My hunting buddies and I have been watching
him. We were on patrol last night. He moved in two
doors down from Anna.”
“Oh no! That’s close enough to sense what she’s
doing.”
     
“That’s what I was afraid of.”
Chapter 4
    Paige could smell him before she got out of the
car. Her heart pounded against her chest and every
hair on her body stood at attention. She reached
over and grabbed his arm, preventing him from
getting out.
“Ozzie, wait. It’s Perry! I think he is in the
house.”
     
“How good will his senses be if he’s
concentrating on Anna?”
     
“Very good. I’m sure he knows we’re here.”
     
“Open the glove box.”
    Hands shaking, she worked at steadying her
nerves and popped the latch. Her eyes bulged at the
sight before her. She rolled her head to Ozzie, and
gave him a questioning look.
“Hand me the Kimber .45.”
     
“And which one is that? How did you fit both of
them in here?”
    “It’s the bigger black one. The smaller one is a
Kimber Silhouette and it’s made for women. It is a .
45, too. I bought it for you to carry. They are my
emergency guns. The big ones are in the trunk with
the rest of my hunting gear.”
    She wiggled the metal around until she loosened
it enough to remove it. She took a deep breath as the
calm from within flowed through her just below the
surface. Her nerves stopped jumping and left her
mind to focus on the task at hand. Her breathing
evened out and her heart worked at a regular pace.
Hands rock steady, she handed over the gun.
“Are you sure that’s going to work?”
    “It has great knock-down power and it is loaded
with small cartridges filled with liquid silver.
Guaranteed to stop all dogs of any size, were or
otherwise. Of course, for the bigger ones, may take
more than one, but the result is the same. Dead is
dead, and that is what we are after.”
    She watched his hands move over the cool steel
as he slammed in the clip and cocked it. Inhaling
deeply, she prepared for what was sure to be a
battle. She gripped the handle and opened the door.
With one foot out of the car, he stopped her. She
turned to him and asked a question.
“What? You have a plan or something?”
     
“Yes, but you’re not going to like it.”
     
“If it includes me staying in this car, then you’re
right. I hate it. I see that look on your face.”
    “I’m not trying to be macho. You’re just so tiny. I
don’t want to see you hurt. Besides, if I’m worried
about you, it splits my concentration.”
    She bit her lip in contemplation . What should I
do? He knows about Anna, but will he be as
accepting of me? It’s one thing to befriend the
supernatural, but sleeping with it is a whole other
animal, and I am a whole other animal. Maybe I
can go and help without giving away the one secret
I have.
    “I refuse to stay in this car. However, I will stand
behind you and out of your way. Who knows?
Maybe I could even help. Sorry Ozzie, but that’s my
best friend, I can’t just sit here.”
    With a talent most women have, she let the tears
come to the surface and gloss over her eyes for
added effect. She watched his face turn form stern
resolve to confusion and finally, acceptance.
Inwardly smiling at her win, she sighed and jumped
out of the car. Her shoes landed neatly next to the
tire when she slipped them off and headed toward
the house. She stopped her advance at the hood of
the car, as promised, and followed behind Ozzie as
he crept into the house.
    Rays of orange and yellow from the glowing sun
snuck through the cracks in the curtains and gave
the living room an eerie glow. Plush carpet helped
to mask their footfalls. Her animalistic senses took
over. She smelled his woodsy scent a few feet away
and felt his presence.
    Perry is in her
room!
The thought sent her into overdrive. Her body,
stock still, vibrated as her inner animal
