“Are you planning to free all those man eaters?”
“They will buy us some time. Besides, there’s an exit to the outside on that floor. Makes it easier to transport them.”
He nodded and followed her into an elevator that dropped them directly across from her apartment. “I’m going to change into something more comfortable.”
He scanned the floor and closed the door. “Hurry.”
Gaby entered her bedroom and returned wearing blue jeans and a black hoodie. She also held the box with the bracelet and tennis ball that held the tracking device. “I have the key code to the predator area. You are in charge of convincing the guard to let us in.”
They ran into the elevator and exited into the predator area.
The security guard stood and pulled out a gun. “Hands up.”
Kane met his gaze. “No, asshole, hands down.”
The guard swallowed and repeated. “Hands down.”
“You will remember nothing.”
The guard repeated in a monotone. “Nothing.”
“We should go to Las Vegas,” snarked Gaby.
Kane punched the guard in the side of the head. Knocking him out cold. “I didn’t take you for the gambling type.”
“Not gambling, but winning.”
His wolf snarled. Compelling people for profit is wrong. Says who? The wolf barked, I just know.
Gaby went in and he followed. A male lion roared. She closed her eyes. “Silence, Ghost.”
The big lion stopped immediately. She winked. “After gambling, we can visit a circus and cause chaos.”
Kane could get used to her dark humor. “Sounds like fun.”
“I’ll release them all at once. Stay behind me.”
He liked her protecting him. “Yes, ma’am.”
Gaby pressed the electronic key and all the cages opened, first the primary doors and then the secondary. The big cats stepped out and stood at attention. They appeared to wait for her command. “Now for the bears and attack dogs.” They went through the next door and she unlocked the cages.
The loose large predators crowded in with the dogs in the tunnel. Not one tried to attack the other. Noah must have been a wolf charmer.
“Speaking of gambling, I bet you would do well at the race track.”
She smiled. “I actually thought about it, but realized I’d get noticed.”
“Not if you bet on one race.” She could influence the horses to allow the horse with the greatest odds to win.
Gaby threw him a pointed stare. “As soon as I open the exit, the alarms will go off.” She opened the exit and a siren blared, hurting his sensitive wolf ears.
“Breach! Breach!” repeated a robotic voice.
Like the Pied Piper, she led the beasts outside. They stalked away, but not too far.
“I told them to stop anyone from following us.”
He smiled. “You really are good at charming.”
