the other numerous evil things roaming around this county?”
    Billy laughed, not a touch of humor in it.   “What is your childhood trauma, man?   Mary is a sweet and pretty human girl.   Thanks for asking.”
    “So you tested her then?”
    “I don’t have to test her.   I’ve been a hunter for almost ten years.   I think I can tell when I’m in the presence of something inhuman.”
    Billy stormed out of the room and picked his jacket up off the foyer floor.  
    Jack trailed after him.   “Have you ever taken her to lunch during the daytime?   Have you even seen her in the daylight?”
    “I sleep during the day, moron, and so does she because she works nights.   We both do.   I guess I must be a vampire or a werewolf because I only go out at night.   Hmm?”
    Jack was getting nowhere.   He asked himself what Silver would say in this situation.   She was good at talking people into seeing her point of view.   He lowered his voice and chose his words carefully. “I care what happens to you.   Okay?   You’re my brother.   This wouldn’t be the first time a vampire or werewolf used seduction to get close to a hunter.   If she isn’t one of those things, then testing her shouldn’t be a problem.   Do it for me.   One little test, and I’ll shut my trap.”
    “One test and you drop it forever?”
    Jack nodded.  
    Billy sighed.   “Fine.   I’ll invite her over to meet you during the day.   Is that good enough for you?”
    Again Jack nodded.  
    Billy leaned against the door.   “How are things going with you?   Did you talk to anyone about getting the extra credit?”
    “The new teacher, Carver was okay with it, but he told me I’d have to get Hardwick’s approval.”
    “Hardwick?”   Billy groaned.   “Man, you’re screwed.”
    “I know.   I guess the only thing left to do is to tell Silver.   It’s not like I have a choice anymore.”
    Now, with the words out in the open, he knew it was the right thing to do.   Silver might be upset at first, but she would deal with it.   In fact she’d probably be so worried about how he was taking the news that she would try to make him feel better.   As long as she wasn’t too disappointed in him, he could handle anything.
    Billy clapped a hand on his back.   “So you’ll graduate after summer school.   It’s not the end of the world.”
    “What about you and Mary?   Are you serious about her?   Do you love her?”
    “I honestly don’t know.   I think about her all the time.   When I’m with her, the time flies, and when I’m not with her, I’m wishing I was.   If it’s not love, it’s the closest I’ve been to it.   I’ve even given some thought to marriage lately.”
    “Marriage?”   Jack’s stomach dropped to his feet.   It was worse than he’d thought.   “That’s a big move.”
    “Tell me about it.   I’m just thinking at this point though.   Someday far in the future, I think I’d like to get married, maybe have a couple of kids.”
    Jack tried to picture Billy as a stable family man and failed.   It was possible for a hunter to have kids and a normal semblance of a life.   Andrew Reign was a great example.   But Billy was too rough around the edges, too wild.  
    They said goodbye, and Billy left.   As Jack watched his brother go, he experienced a sharp pang of dread.   Everything was about to change.   He saw it coming just like a person could see a train barreling down the tracks long before it hit them.
    Silver would be leaving for college in five months.  
    Billy would eventually get married and move away so he and his family could enjoy a normal life.   Maybe he’d even leave the state.   Werewolves didn’t like hot places.   Billy would probably move down South.
    Jack was being left behind, and there wasn’t anything he could do about it.   Someday soon he wouldn’t have anyone left—just the cat.
