when it stopped ringing and saw that his sister
had called.
    “What do you want, Lizzy? I’m busy.” The two of them
had a connection like no other. Mates didn’t have one as close as them. He
supposed it had something to do with them being twins.
    “Mom’s crying, Dad’s pissed, and Duncan
is cooking. What the hell have you done?”
    The thought of Duncan cooking made him
laugh, but he didn’t comment to her about any of them. “I don’t know what
they have to be pissed about. I was…I sort of lost my head for a minute. I’m
sorry they’re mad, but this has nothing to do with them.” He moved along
the sidewalk, hoping to catch any kind of scent of her.
    When he realized she was quiet, he
stopped walking and waited. He knew she had something on her mind and he knew
whatever it was he wasn’t going to like it.
    “Is it true you want to meet the sun?” The softly
spoken question startled him. Then he grew angry. Someone, namely Mel, was
going to pay for this. “Please tell me it’s not true and I’ll leave you
alone.”
    “Who told you?” He
didn’t…couldn’t lie to her. She’d know because she had been programmed from
birth to tell when someone was lying, but he could not answer her.
    “You son of a bitch. What the fuck gives
you the right to end your life? Who the hell do you think you are wanting to
meet the sun? Have you no care for any of us? Don’t you care what Mom would
think? What Dad would think? I fucking can’t believe this. Come to me right now
and I’ll give you a reason to meet the fucking sun. Of all the stupid, asinine
things to do.”
    Mac didn’t answer her. He couldn’t. Not
without sounding like a baby. He’d listened to himself often enough to know
what he said was lame. But he didn’t want to live this way. He couldn’t. When
he caught a scent of the woman, he stopped. She was near.
    “Are you listening to me?”
    He wasn’t. He told Lizzy that he was,
but she knew better.
    “I asked you what the fuck you’re going
to do now that you can be a fucking retard and die?”
    “I have to find this woman and her
children. When she’s safe then I can do what I please. Stay out of this, Lizzy.
It has nothing to do with any of you. This is something I want and for the
first time in all my life, I’m going to do something for me.”
    He couldn’t shut her out completely, but
he could put her to the back of his mind. He moved to the front of the little
hotel and listened at the door. That’s when he felt the first stirring of black
magic. It was all over her door and he could smell it strongest on the eye
piece. Instead of knocking like he might have done normally, he put his boot to
the door and broke it open.
    He didn’t know what he expected, but the
woman standing with a gun wasn’t it. He put up his hands and stood perfectly
still. She’d been crying, he noticed, and her hands trembled slightly. He took
a step closer to her and smelled the air. No silver. If she shot him it would
hurt, but she wouldn’t kill him.
    “I want you to put the gun down. I
didn’t come here to hurt you.” She shook her head and he tried again. “I
promise you I’m not going to—”
    “Did you do this?” He must have looked
confused because she nodded to the room. “Did you come in here and fuck with my
stuff? If you did, it’s well within my rights to shoot your fucking ass and
have done with this whole town.”
    He looked around. The room had been
tossed. And her things as well as the things that he assumed came with the room
had been destroyed. He started to move toward the bed when she told him to
stop. Mac looked back at her.
    “I didn’t do this. I had no idea where
you lived until just now. I want to have a look around and I promise I won’t
come near you.” He noticed that the gun in her hand looked a little steadier
and he was both proud and scared. Smiling gently, he tried to compel her to put
it down. “Put the gun on the dresser and step back into the bathroom.
