It took me an hour to get to Gravel Street. I still had on my wolf suit and didn’t know how to take it off. My tutorial with Shadow hadn’t gotten that far before I decided to ditch his tutoring. I slipped in and out of alleys and avoided people and cars. What I couldn’t avoid was every damn dog in the city. It was like everybody had stocked their yard with dogs just so they could bark and snarl at me, and did they snarl. It was like I was a cat at a dog show, and all the dogs were rabid. Every fence was a barrier to a horrible mauling and every gate was an exit the dogs desperately tried to get through to get at me.

The funny thing was every bark echoed in my eardrums like they were shouted through a bullhorn. Every screech of some poorly-oiled car brakes and every groan of a fence gate grated on my ears. I was delayed in my journey because I had to keep clamping my hands over my damn ears.

I slunk along like an amateur burglar until I hit Gravel Street. The house I wanted was number eleven. That was down the block. I reached the well-manicured lawn and crept into the fence-less and dog-less yard. The back door had a light over it. Through the lit windows I could see my target washing some dishes.

Officer Baldwin was as exact in his house as he was in his duties. I made it to the door and knocked. Every sound inside was as clear as if I was inside seeing them. A dish was dropped into soapy water. Footsteps approached the door, but paused. Somebody rubbed against cloth. I didn’t have to guess it was a gun. The door was unlocked and opened a crack. I saw his eye peek through at me huddled as I was on his stoop.

“Who is it?” Baldwin questioned me.

“It’s me, Marie Selena,” I whispered.

His eye widened. “Detective Selena? What the hell happened to you? Where have you been?”

“Mind interrogating me inside?” I pleaded.

“Oh, yes, of course.” He stepped back and the door swung open. Baldwin stepped aside and looked me over as I entered. “Why are you in that werewolf costume?”

“It’s a new fashion I’m trying out,” I quipped as I peeked out the window. Nothing moved in the backyard. “But what’s been going on today? Any news about that double-murder?”

“No, but the Chief’s been worried sick about you all day,” Baldwin told me as he offered me as he plopped himself in a chair at a small table. “He tried to call your phone a half dozen times before he told me to look in on you. When I didn’t find you he sent out an APB for all the precincts to be on the lookout for you.”

I snorted. “Some of the officers didn’t get the memo.” I looked around the kitchen. It was small, but nice. A small table and white cabinets, and everything in its place.
