powerfully built as Sinclair, and easily as tall. And I
    hadn't been laid in—

    Never mind. Focus, Betsy! "Get your foot off my tits right now." Nobody puts his foot on
    my tits. It's a good rule to live by.

    "After we talk."

    "Oh, dude. You are so picking the wrong week to fuck with me."

    "Produce my Pack member at once," W.R.A. demanded.

    degrees! Or would that be three sixty? Either way, he howled—an actual howl, like a
    dog!—and fell backward, losing his balance as his pulverized ankle collapsed under his
    weight. I flipped to my feet (well, more like staggered, but the important thing is, I was
    standing), momentarily triumphant.

    I say momentarily because this did not make the other ones—four? five?—happy at all. I'm
    guessing this, because they all jumped on me at once. Unlike what happens in a karate
    movie, these guys didn't take turns. Nope, it was dog-pile time, with me on the bottom.
    (Did that make me the dog? Oh, never mind.)

    I jerked my face to the side, just as a fist slammed through the floorboards where my head
    had been. "Wait. Wait! " I screamed.

    Three fists (from two different people!) paused in midair, as I pulled my legs up, yanked
    off my saddle shoes (vintage, 1956, eBay, $296.26), and threw them into a corner.

    "Okay," I said. "Go."

    I blocked (barely) another fist, catching it on my crossed forearms a la Uma Thurman in
    Kill Bill (either one). I had zero martial arts training, but by God, I'd remember anything
    Uma did.

    Fighting these guys was like dodging bullets: I could do it, but I sure as shit had to pay
    attention. They were List. They were unbelievably fast. Old vampire fast. And their smell.
    Their iron-rich smell. It was tough Work, fighting them off and trying not to bite them at
    the same time.

    almost forgot, super human strength and reflexes. Not that these guys were too shabby in
    the area of paranormal abilities, either. Bums.

    I managed to duck a few more punches and deal a few of my own, took a bite—a bite!—
    to the shoulder from one of them, and responded with a knee in the groin and a fist in the
    belly, so deep I thought I touched the guy's spine.

    I took another punch to the nose (ow!) from a tank-top wearing brunette (the buzz cut
    was not for everyone, but it looked fabulous on her) and retaliated by stomping on the
    gal's ankle, smirking at the crunch, and the shriek.

    I shouldn't have been smiling, I should have been pissed. Okay, I was pissed. But at least I
    was doing something instead of waiting for the phone to ring. If I couldn't squabble with
    Sinclair or bitch to Jessica, a knock-down, drag-out fight in my foyer was the next best
    thing.

    Wedding Ring Asshole was coming for me again. and I watched in amazement as he
    limped, limped less, and, by the time he reached me, wasn't limping at all. I was so busy
    gaping I nearly forgot to duck as that ham-sized fist looped toward my head again.

    Nearly. Instead I sidestepped the punch and shoved the guy so hard into the wall that the
    plaster (or whatever old walls are made out of) cracked all the way up to the ceiling.

    Note to self: do not mention all the household repairs to Jessica until she is back on her
    feet.

    The effect was so much fun I grabbed him by the hair and threw him into the wall again.
    Wheee!

    "Don't hurt my daddy!" someone shrieked, and I was horrified to see a girl of about six
    standing to the side, white faced. How had I missed her? Besides the fact that the adults
    had all converged on me at once, like IRS
