Run.
    Which presented its own set of problems.
    He glanced up at the ceiling, listening to the shower water run and trying hard not to visualize Sarah standing in the hot stream. Too easy to imagine walking into the bathroom, stripping off and joining her. Lifting her, fucking her against the shower wall, swallowing the sounds of her pleasure and release…
    He shook himself hard and forced his mind to other things while he did the dishes.
    Alexis’ information about a dead human body near Williams’ house opened an option they hadn’t had before. There might just be something there to force the human authorities to look closer at Williams, but Daniel wouldn’t know until he investigated.
    Did he tell Sarah? If they went, if they found a body, they could call the police, tip them off anonymously. Or he could contact Pete directly. Peter Kelly was a homicide detective in Philly, and a contact Daniel had worked with more than once in the past. Pete wouldn’t have jurisdiction in Ridley Creek State Park, but he might know someone in the state police who could investigate.
    Maybe they could get some sort of justice, even if it was indirect. Would that satisfy Sarah?
    He’d be taking a big risk bringing her anywhere near Williams again—even if just one of Williams’ properties. The man owned at least five homes that Daniel knew of, and lived most of the time in a townhouse in Philadelphia. But Williams had taken at least two “dates” to the house outside the park, so there was no telling if he’d be there or not. Could Sarah resist the call to kill the man?
    Could Daniel?
    And would she forgive him if he chose the safe answer and didn’t tell her about the body?
    He was pretty sure he’d never forgive himself if he didn’t do something. He could always try locating the body after the Run. Then again, Williams might move it before then.
    Fuck.
    Daniel desperately wanted to punch something. He fisted his hands, keeping them safely at his sides as he debated his next move. He hated, hated, hated this. In his world, he was the enforcer. If Williams had been a tiger, he’d have taken great pleasure in killing the man personally. Suppressing his instincts—with both Sarah and Williams—was making his tiger chuff and growl.
    He needed to run, to shift and stretch himself, to release the tension, worry, and frustrations dogging him. He couldn’t. But he’d never needed a shift so badly in his life.
    “Fuck,” he muttered aloud.
    And made his decision.
    They’d go find the body and call it in to the human police. It was something. The only thing he could give Sarah that might come close to satisfying her need for revenge. Then maybe, maybe, when they went into the Mate Run, she’d let him catch her again.
     

    CHAPTER SEVEN
     
    Sarah stared at Daniel for a long, quiet moment after he’d finished his story. She’d suspected something when she’d come downstairs this morning—he’d been so vague on the phone with Alexis.
    But this…
    “Will you be satisfied with the possibility of indirect justice?” he asked. “Can I trust you to come with me?”
    Ah, those were the questions. Would this satisfy her? And could he trust her?
    The fact that he didn’t and had to ask cut deep, but it was an honest concern because at the moment, she didn’t even trust herself. She hated that he didn’t trust her. She hated more that he had cause.
    Given the news he’d just revealed, though, she could worry about repairing the damage she’d done to their relationship later. Right now, she had to decide how to answer his questions.
    Could he trust her not to kill Williams if she saw him again?
    No. He couldn’t. With every fiber of her being, she still wanted to rip out the man’s throat.
    Would she be satisfied with having him arrested? Harder to answer.
    “I still want him dead,” she admitted.
    “Damn it, Sarah, Su-jin would not want you to throw your life away like this. You can’t bring her back, even by killing
