heard
from Will?”
    “No.”
    “He’d better
get his ass back here before the new guy shows up tomorrow.” Reid
replied. “It won’t exactly make a good impression for him to be
missing in action, and Jordan’s a hard ass.”
    “You know him?”
Hannah asked.
    Reid nodded.
“He was second in command at my old facility in LA. Honestly, I’m
surprised he agreed to come here. The small town scene didn’t
really seem to be his thing. But, he was anxious to move up so
maybe he figures this is his only chance.”
    “What’s he
like?”
    “I didn’t know
him that well, to be honest. He seems like an okay guy, just a real
stickler for the rules and,” he hesitated, “I know he doesn’t like
the idea of allowing supernaturals to be involved with the
facility. He’s not an outright racist, but he doesn’t believe that
we can trust any supernatural.”
    “Great.” Hannah
sighed. “Just great.”
    “I’m sure it
will be fine.” Reid said soothingly. “Just don’t piss him off and
when Will decides to show his hairy face here again, maybe tell him
to keep his wolf under control.”
    “Right.” Hannah
replied grimly.
    He squeezed her
shoulder reassuringly before glancing at Selena again. She was
still studying the table and he cracked his knuckles nervously
before standing.
    “I should go.
See you later, ladies.”
    “Bye, Reid.”
Hannah smiled at him as Selena gave him a brief wave without
looking up.
    It wasn’t until
he had left the cafeteria that she raised her gaze, and she blushed
hotly at the look Hannah was giving her.
    “What?”
    “What do you
mean - what?” Hannah replied. “What’s going on with you two?”
    “Nothing!” She
said quickly. “There’s nothing going on with us. Why would you
think there’s something going on with us? There isn’t. I hardly
know the guy.”
    Hannah took
another bite of steak and stared thoughtfully at Selena. “Are you
going to tell me or do I have to ask Reid?”
    Selena glared
at her and took a large drink of water. “Alright, fine. We kissed,
okay?”
    A grin crossed
Hannah’s face. “That’s great.”
    “No, it
isn’t.”
    “Why not?”
    “Because.”
Selena scowled at her again.
    “Because
why?”
    “Oh for the
love of – because I learned the hard way that getting involved with
anyone in this program means heartbreak, because Reid’s an
instructor, because he has a thing for you!” Selena snapped.
    “He doesn’t
have a thing for me.” Hannah replied.
    “Please, don’t
even try and tell me that – “
    “He might have
had a thing for me at one time,” Hannah interrupted, “but trust me
– he doesn’t now. He knows I love Will and besides, he’s not real
fond of Lycans. He tries to be accepting but…”
    She trailed off
and took a quick glance around before leaning closer to Selena.
“C’mon, girl. Spill your guts.”
    Selena sighed
before resting her chin on her hand. “The night that Samuel
attacked the facility, Reid, Douglas and I went to the common room.
Mannie and the others were in there and they were being decimated.
There were leeches everywhere and all three of us knew that we were
going to die when we stepped into that room. You know?”
    “I do.” Hannah
said gravely.
    “Anyway, Reid
looked at me and basically just said, fuck it, that no one lived
forever and then he kissed me and we ran in.”
    Hannah grinned.
“He has a way with words.”
    Selena snorted
softly. “Anyway, after I told Mannie that I quit, Reid came after
me to convince me to stay. I asked him why he kissed me that night
and he said he didn’t know, that it seemed like a good idea at the
time.”
    Hannah rolled
her eyes before motioning at Selena with her fork. “Go on.”
    “He took me
into Chen’s training room and kept questioning me and finally I
told him the truth. Then, like a complete idiot, I started crying.
Reid hugged me and God, it felt good to be hugged by him. The guy’s
body is hard as a rock but he was so
