Chapter 18 Karen’s children were playing in the yard with baby Julia. Hank sat across the patio from Katharine and Karen as they chatted. He watched their body language and picked up part of their conversation from reading their lips. Hank gathered that Karen was relaying her experiences with Martin and how the task force under Sarasin had rescued her from a frightful encounter with the monster. He watched to make sure Karen didn’t mention him or his involvement. To Karen’s credit, she kept her word and didn’t tell Katharine anything about Hank or their adventures together. Hank felt more than a little apprehensive not to tell Katharine. He thought it was for her safety and wellbeing.

The Witch of Which Woods
Oliver wanted to prove himself for the first time in his life, and, finally, he had the chance to do just that. A golden pin of acceptance into the Hunter’s Clan was given to him by the mayor last night, a fine addition to his uniform. There was nothing out of order to him in the slightest as he gazed into his stained reflection: no brown lock out of place, no fold in his camouflage jacket or knick in his snakeskin boots. All was polished and ready from his weapons to the pin, showing off a fancy fonted H engraved inside a larger C. The only thing left to do was unleash the dog and make sure all the candles were blown.

Chapter 13 Hank and Sarasin sat at a far table in the darkest part of the historic building being used as a bar now. The cell phone they had taken from Billings buzzed as Samantha Craig called. They looked around to observe a young woman standing at the entrance. It was not Samantha Craig. The two stood up and made for the door to leave. They passed by the woman who was looking around the bar for those she was to meet.
