"Is she a vaood one She would never hurt anyone"
John gave hiirlfriend? How does that work?"
"Good question," Phineas ht and he could find her
As he dashed back to the security office, he spotted Jack co in the side entrance Great Jack and Lara could help him look for Brynley "Is Lara with you?"
Jack shook his head "She stayed at the school Caitlyn’s been shifting back and forth, scaring the shit out of Dr Lee, so Carlos is the only one allowed in the delivery room with her now"
"No babies yet?" Phineas asked
"Yeah!" Freemont opened the security office door and peered outside "Did she have kittens?"
"Not yet," Jack replied "I cauys had captured Corky"
"We have another probleer Rhett Bleddyn knows she’s back, and he’s a vicious bastard Nearly killed a uy And Brynley--she’s alone"
Freemont winced "Wolfie-Girl’s in trouble"
Jack nodded "Let’s go"
Phineas zipped through the trees for another half aHe and Jack had teleported back to the cabin and split up to cover n of Brynley No word fro for aluy in a wheelchair? Sheesh, he’d nearly killed Nate And Kyle, that creep deserved to die The thought that those two bastards could have shifted and gone hunting for Brynley, it made his heart clench in his chest
She’d been hunted down once before And raped He couldn’t let that happen to her again
He needed a new strategy He gazed up a tall pine tree and zeroed in on a strong branch A second later, he rabbed hold of the trunk This was better He had a bird’s-eye view And eyes as good as a bird He scanned the area and listened carefully
A small herd of elk at twelve o’clock At one o’clock, a sht, Jack was searching He turned to the left Bushes thrashed far ahead at ten o’clock So chased
He focused on a treetop and teleported there The chase was just ahead of him He teleported to another tree
There A ed fro at an incredible speed It had to be a olf
He teleported closer and materialized on a tree branch just as the wolf pounced on the deer Within seconds the deer was down and its neck broken with aof the wolf’s jaws
Da He whistled softly to see if the ould look up
It did Sky-blue eyes
He grinned He’d found her, and she was fine More than fine She was freaking powerful
A loud growl e into pine bark Was it Bleddyn?
Brynley froze, her ears flattening, the fur on her back bristling
Out of the woods lus and roared
Brynley stood her ground
"Back off," Phineas whispered Don’t argue with a bear Let it have the deer
The bear roared again, and rowled back
"Da? Phineas took out his auto shot to scare off the bear
The bear shifted into a large, hairy man He lifted his hands in surrender and looked frantically about "Don’t shoot!"
Phineas’s er?
Brynley shifted into human form "You’re a were-bear?"
He stared at her "You’re a olf?"
Phineas teleported down, and with vampire speed, he whipped off his jacket and covered Brynley
Digger gasped "You’re one of therowl, he charged
Chapter Eighteen
Phineas teleported Brynley across the clearing
Digger roared when his pounce hit nothing but air He spun about and spotted thean, but quickly levitated with Brynley when the bear charged again
"Digger, stop!" Brynley yelled at hiet away from him, little lady, so I can kill him He’s an alien"
"I’m not an alien," Phineas er told her, then frowned "But I ain’t sure theave Phineas a wry look "Shall I verify that you have balls?"
He arched a brow "This is not how I envisioned our first intier "Can we come do?"
"Sure But I’ll have to kill you"
"I’m not an alien!"
"You are, too! You appeared out of nowhere You roaned "I was in a tree, watching Brynley And what the hell were you doing, attacking her?"
"I wasn’t gonna hurt her," Digger mumbled "I just wanted the deer"
Jack zoo at vaht of Phineas and Brynley hovering twelve feet in the air "I heard a gunshot Are you all right?"
"Dagnabbit! Another alien!" Digger bellowed
