Wolf Charmer (Team Greywolf 2)

“No. Last night, he slipped into a coma.”

Her heart clenched. Was he dying? “How long did you torture him?”

He scoffed. “Unfortunately, the truth serum shut down his system after only an hour of interrogation.”

Most likely overdosed him. “Will he survive?”

“Dr. Tomlin believes so.”

She trembled. After her torture in the isolation room ten years ago, she never wanted to set foot inside the treatment area. “Can I see him?”

He smiled, knowing how she hated the place. Refusing to go in even to work on animals. “I’ll ask Avery since the asset is now his to do with as he pleases.”

“I suppose I now belong to Avery as well.”

“Borrowed, my dear.”

“So when do we leave?”

“He wants to give the werewolf a few days to recover before he makes a decision whether to take him or put him down.”

“Why would he murder him?”

“You know how powerful the werewolf is and on top of that, he can mind control humans. Avery’s father is committed to wiping out the werewolf threat to our species.” He waved his hand. “Go and I’ll let you know if and when you can see him.”

“Can I go back to my cabin?”

“No. Just let Mr. Leeds know what to pack. You stay here until you fly to Avery’s lab.”

Gabby nodded. “I’ll wait for your call.”

She left and dashed back to her headquarters apartment. Immediately, she went into her bedroom. Gaby took out the burner phone she hid inside her winter gloves. She quickly texted. Dear Phil Renshaw, they know you hacked into the chimera lab, and plan to kill you during your run. Contact FBI. Go to a safe house. Do Not respond to this text. Save yourself and your sons.

Gaby disabled the phone and then returned it to its hiding place. She had to help Kane escape. Now. How could she move him while he was out?

Her phone buzzed. “Hello.”

“Dr. Tomlin thinks it’s a good idea for you to try talking to the werewolf and Avery agrees,” said Giles.

“I’ll be right over.” She ran out and in less than five minutes walked into the area she never wanted to see again, the treatment room. She pushed the button and security answered. “Gaby.”

The door opened and she shivered. The area remained as it was ten years ago, a horrific dungeon. The dark room where she had been kept was bolted. Kane lay in wolf form on the floor of a steel cage.

Dr. Tomlin turned from his computer console and stood. “Gaby, I’m happy you are here.”

She glanced around. Only Tomlin and the armed security guard at the door in sight. “How is he?”

“He is in a deep sleep.”

“You mean a coma.”

“He was, but he is moving. Like a dog having a dream.”

“I bet Avery was disappointed he turned wolf before revealing too much.”

“Actually, he stayed human during the interrogation. He turned wolf after he passed out.”

“You would think he would have turned as soon as he was drugged.”
