Wolfsbane? His wolf snarled. Poison. He knows how to kill us. Yet, will small amounts force the truth out of us? Explains why I spilled everything about Gaby’s charm. Unfortunately, the serum hadn’t helped him regain his memory.
“You mean like the flower mentioned in the movie The Wolfman?” Gaby asked.
“Not precisely.” Tomlin drew a dose of morphine from the vial to the syringe.
Kane grimaced and grunted, “Quick.”
“Extend your arm,” said Tomlin.
Kane moved closer and narrowed his eyes at the doctor. “Turn off the camera, and then let me out.”
Tomlin stilled. “Yes.” He switched off the camera and unlocked the cage.
“Now take the syringe...”
Gaby grabbed Tomlin’s arm. “No. The dose might kill him.”
Kane smiled. Not sure why she wanted to keep the mad scientist alive, but he respected her wish. “Hand Gaby the morphine and get inside the cage.”

“Lie down and sleep. When you wake up, you will remember nothing.”
Tomlin lay on the floor and closed his eyes.

She opened the door. “Guards! Dr. Tomlin needs your help.”
The regular security guard and the other two rushed in.
Kane snapped the first guard’s neck in one swift fluid motion. The other two drew their weapons, but with cunning speed, Kane charged and knocked them on the floor before they released a single shot. He grabbed them by the scruff of their necks and banged their heads together, reverberating as if two coconuts knocked. Their eyes glazed in death.
“Holy crap, you are a Navy SEAL team with a bite.”
He tilted his head. “Makes sense.” In fact, the idea of being special ops felt right. He quickly removed the first guard’s uniform and donned it. “Where to?” He found sneakers he wore earlier and pulled them on.
“My office.”
“Are you sure we have time?”
“I’m not leaving without my bracelet and I like the idea of the tracking device in the ball.”
“Me, too.”
“Anyway, I n
