Oshey put the dishes in the sink and tripped over her feet, causing the coffee cup to drop from her hands. It stalled midair, so she could catch it just before it hit the floor. She was stunned and didn't believe her eyes at first and for a moment was grateful, Kasper was behind her and couldn't see. She turned around and smiled, "I'll be just a few minutes, and I need a shower."
"Take your time," he offered. Once she was in the room, he stepped on the porch. Sliding his phone free he sent a text message with the club he was heading to as well as ‘she knows about wolfin but not what she is. Might need your help. Please advise.’ Then he walked in and sat on the couch.
Oshey returned to the front room fifteen minutes later. She was now in shorts and a little belly top. Oshey&r
"Damn it." He pulled out his cell phone and called Quinn, and as normal Quinn didn't answer the phone. Kasper left a message about the club. “You really need to get here, I have a major problem.” He put his phone in his back pocket just as Paul moved across the stage with his phone to his ear.Paul watched Kasper for a moment and called Patches. "Hey man, Oshey is here with some loser. The loser looks like he could be trouble for you. Want me to call the boys in?" He paused, listening to the phone. "Yeah, she is here now." Another pause, "Okay I can do that for you." Paul hung up the phone. Patches had instructed him to drug Oshey and get the boys to handle the guy. Paul stepped behind the side curtain and opened the table drawer, filling the needle with a solution. If Patches wanted her dosed, he would make sure she was out. 
"Jimmy, I'm going outside for a little while. I need air,” Natalia said. “When you are ready, come find me.""Okay, but I'm still confused about how you are involved in this, other than they were a pack you knew?” It was a question more than a statement."Soon enough I will explain it all to you.” She walked to him, kissing his forehead. “Do you remember when you were very little, and you still believed in magic and the world made sense? Keep reading and I promise it will all make sense as it did when you were young.""I doubt that highly. When I was a kid, nothing made sense to me. I had dreams of dark places and beasts and there was no light or happy places."
Kasper parked the car in the driveway and half jogged into the house carrying a bag of groceries. Once inside, he looked at Quinn walking down the stairs. "Is she awake?""She is awake and, in a mood, the ungrateful witch." He said rubbing his chin where she had bitten him.Kasper walked to the side of the banister. "She is not the only one in a mood it seems."Quinn frowned thinking about her. "Tell me something about her, something that you haven't already told me?""What do you want to know? I met her a few weeks back, downtown. I saw her mark and knew what she was, so I said hello. She sings in a band, and as far as I can tell she is coming into her powers."
Oshey woke to an empty room, cautiously she ventured from the bed. "Kasper," she called out, steadying her weight on the thick oak dresser. There was an oversized men’s shirt on the edge. After slipping it on, she looked at the distance between her and the door and started walking to it; she caught the handle for support. She opened the door looking down the long hallway. There was no noise coming from the house, it seemed like she was alone. She walked toward the stairs using the wall as a brace. "Hello?" she called out. Still, nothing came back to her.She sat on the top step looking down at the foyer. "Okay. I can do this." She moved down the steps one by one letting her bum rest on each step. By the time she got to the bottom, she knew something had to be wrong if Kasper was not here. As she stood the front door
She blushed, turned away from him, and sat on the couch. "Why is that?" There seemed to be a pull toward Quinn and Oshey wasn't entirely against fighting it."I just do. It is not often I get the company I find interesting.” Quinn leaned to the desk.“I was thinking, last night you said some mean things about my friends, but I think you are right about one thing." Oshey looked at her hands."What's that?" Amusement surrounded Quinn as he thought about the fight they had.Looking across the room her eyes touched Quinn’s. "I think Paul drugged me for Patches."Quinn nodded, walking from around the desk to sit on
Jimmy stretched slowly, working out the stiffness in his legs. He rolled his head across his shoulders, popping the vertebrae. The sound filled the silent room with an eerie tension. He glanced at his wife sitting on the deck, "Hey baby.""I know what you are going to ask, so I may as well tell you the whole story. Jimmy, sit down and just remember no matter what I say or tell you, keep an open mind?""In all the years we have been married, have you ever known me not to?" He thought about his words for a moment. "Never mind, okay, I promise to keep all avenues open and my mouth shut.""Do you remember after the third murder how the streets seemed so quiet? It was like the calm before the storm.""Yes, I remember. You and I had our hands full with the press and the mayor's office. It was a hurry-up-and-wait game we were playing back then. As I remember, Maggie from the reserve was positive the tooth she found in the third body was from a large canine. I also recall Curtis too
It was nearly 0500 when Jimmy walked into the squad room. His eyes were bloodshot and the dark circles under his eyes showed the stress of the night. He slammed the door to his office before flopping into the chair. He didn't even look as he reached for the coffeepot behind him. He also poured the cup without looking."You look like shit." His partner Natalia commented with a hint of amusement."I just spent the last several hours with Miss 'I'll have your badge if you don't catch this killer' Mayor." Jimmy sank into his chair with a heavy sigh."That bad huh?""You could say that. She wants a city-wide curfew enforced by Friday if we don't have any leads." Jimmy
Yada woke with the sounds of bass ringing in her ears. Slowly she opened her eyes to flashes of green and red. She wasn't thinking of the man, she wasn't thinking of Jake, she was thinking of the pain the music was causing. She tried to move her hand but found it didn't respond. "What the," she mumbled."Ah, good you're awake." A deep voice fell over her."Where am I?" Yada struggled to speak. Her throat felt dry."Home," he said, looking at her smaller body."What do you mean," she said, squinting through the green light. Yada narrowed her eyes trying to focus on the man."I brought you here, this is where you belong," James said.Yada focused on a figure standing near her feet. "Who are you?""I have had many names over the years, but you can call me,” he thought for a few seconds. “Daddy."Yada inhaled sharply. "You're insane.""Awe that is, so sweet of you to notice. But flattery will get you nowhere, Shadow Walker." Janes smirked as he sat beside the table where Yad
