house fried rice and a fork. I was amazed at how carefully he ate. He was almost dainty the way he held his fork and made a point of not spilling a single grain of rice.
Kyle spoke up. "They could put out a missing persons report. What could it hurt? Get their faces on the street and make sure to mention she's pregnant."
"No publicity," Bastien and Crwys said in perfect unison. They looked at each other, scowled and then looked away.
I set my box on the counter. "Crwys, just arrange a viewing. Call in a favor or something. You want to find the one responsible, don't you?"
He looked at me for a while as the amber returned to his eyes. "I'll see what I can do," he looked at everyone else. "But I can't take all of you."
"I'll stay here," Ivan said as he ate. "I got some things to do." When everyone looked at him, he frowned. "What? The shop hasn't been open all day and I spent several hours last night cleaning up the fountain mess," he smirked at Kyle. "Someone was too emotionally distressed to help me."
That I could believe.
"This was before you spent time with the lady?" Bastien said.
Ivan blushed bright red as Crwys, Kyle, Jack and Levi started in on their guy-ribbing.
So that was why Bastien sniffed Ivan. I couldn't help but grin at the boy. So Ivan had sex. I made an assumption he accessed the morgue's security system from this girl's home. That was a much better excuse than hunger—though from the way he was scarfing down his Chinese, hunger was a definite factor. The truth to be found was whether it was the sex that made him hungry or the cyber diving.
Or both?
"We will be there to represent the pack," Bastien said through a mouthful of food and getting us back on topic.
"Why can't just one of you go?" Crwys's tone wasn't as antagonistic as it had been.
"I am the Alpha," Bastien put his hand on his chest. "I lead. Jack is learning from me."
I nodded. "Makes sense. I'm going. Kyle?"
"I'd like to go where Jack goes."
Aww. I just felt all mushy inside. No really. I'm serious. I was shocked this romance had lasted past four hours. And even though I was still a little worried that Jack would wolf-out and really hurt Kyle, at least he wouldn't turn him. I wasn't sure how Kyle's aunt Arden would take to having her nephew turned into an apogee Lycan.
My ears felt like they needed to pop and I did the customary swallow to pop them. That didn't work. Bastien put his food down and backed away just as Jack jumped up and his chair fell back. Both of them were holding their ears. I looked at Kyle who'd gone very, very white. He looked back at me with both his hands on the table. "Someone's put a cap on the area."
Oh Sweet Lady! That could only mean the Clerics were coming. Like an ill wind or smell those fuckers liked to disarm every magical entity and spell within an area before they arrived. I'd have known that if I had my Elemental Gifts because they would have been inaccessible to me. Though my Sylph had managed to slip by their cap last time the four of them came together.
A presence pressed against my skin. It moved around me and settled in the base of my skull like a tension headache.
Crwys started putting the food back in a bag and gesturing for everyone to get up. "We need to get Google boy and the dogs out of here."
"Why?" Bastien demanded.
"Because if they're here about Sam's warlocking, we need to not be a distraction. I'm leaving too," he handed the bag to Kyle. "I'll give you a call when I have a viewing time and you can coordinate a meeting with everyone."
Kyle took the bag but shook his head. "I'm not leaving Sam. Not after what they did to her."
Crwys shrugged. "Just don't mess this up for her, okay? Just in case Parliament made a decision," he turned to Bastien. "You really need to go."
The big man looked at me and I smiled with a pleading look. "I will go, but Jack will stay. He is an apogee, and not easily detected. He will protect Samantha."
Jack nodded to Bastien. "I will give my life for
