“Someone saw my hand Change. If they haven't yet, they'll put two and two together and the Hunters will find out. That's if they haven't already.
“That fireball was meant for me. You and Alf would have probably just been a bonus. Carr told me he thought it was and I don't know how he knew, but I believe him. I know I'm at risk and you bringing me out here is all an act to distract me so I don't find out I'm under 'Were Protection' rather than being where we should be and trying to find out who the real killer is!”
Driver gazed at her with intrigue, his lips curved up into a smile. “You've been paying attention,” he observed with approval. “But you're wrong about two things. This isn't just a distraction. It's a long overdue family reunion. And I already know who the killer is.”
Jaz's eyes snapped wide open. “You know who the Black Cloak is?!”
He nodded gravely. “More or less. Fraya gave me a suspect.”
When he didn't expand any further Jaz jumped up in her seat. “Well, who is it?! Is it someone we know? Someone in the Pack?” she grilled.
“Unfortunately.”
“You knew all this, all this time and we're here, on a weekend break?! What are you doing? Turn around!”
Nik smiled grimly. “I'm waiting for the piece of shit to crawl out from under his rock. If it is who she said it is, then I'll be there to kick the throne from beneath his filthy, lying, murdering backside.”
