Salem came back after he made the call on his cell for the meeting to figure out who this strange male Were was, just Harley was leaving.
" Would you like to join in on the meeting? " He asked.
She looked at him with a look of confusion, " Why are you asking me? Pack meetings are for the entire pack plus their mates and childern. I'm your partner, not your mate. Wouldn't that make me an outsider to the pack? "
" There are some advantages of being an Alpha you know. So? What do you say? " He hoped she'd say yes, he wanted his pack to meet their Alpha female.
" You do you and I'll see if there was anyone else that could have anything against Mr. and Mrs. Urizing. " She replied, not really surprising him with her answer, just as he had his way of solving cases, she had hers.
Half of the time he did the solving, the other half, she did, all he did was bring the suspects and when he found the killer, she'd usually get them to talk and confess, without him having to resort to scarying the truth out of them by transforming in front of them, it was a little game they'd play on the killer.
But this time, this time, it WAS another werewolf that had done the killing, butchering, actually.
" Alright. But if you change your mind, "
" Which I won't. "
" Then tell the guards at the gate who you are and they'll let you in. "
" I'll keep that in mind, IF I change my mind. "
" Okay. Here, " He tossed her the keys to his car, she caught them easily.
She looked at him in confusion again.
" I'm going for a run. I'll see you back at the station. "
" You are trusting ME with your z28? "
" I know how you drive. You won't scratch her or wreck her. "
" It's a stick. "
Now he's looking sheepish.
" You know what, why don't you go on your run back to your mansion and I'll figure it out. Hopefully without messing up the transmission. "
" You sure? I can show you first. "
" Go. I'll be alright and so will your baby. "
He tried not think of how that phrase had double meaning.
" Okay. See you back at the station then. "
Harley watched Salem run off down the street. She waited a couple of beats before going to the driver side of his car, got in, started it up and proceeded to rev it up and drive off back to the station, smiling and changing the gears as she went until she got it to where she wanted it.
" Oh, I love listening to this baby purr!! " She called out in glee, turning a corner, burning rubber as she did.
