"I don't know," Lissa admitted as she continued to rub at her temples. She was getting a headache, slowly pounding away through her whole body and making her feel like she was about to lose it at the next person who looked at her. Unfortunately for Caleb, that would be him. She was trying to reign her temper in since he had in effect, saved her from herself. She doubted she would have stopped with her thumb had she been left to her own devices. Was it divine intervention that had sent a man into the ladies room? Lissa had always been deeply religious but she wasn't sure if she bought into that or not.
"My friend Derek will know or at least have an idea. He's a werewolf but he's one of the good ones." And while using the term "friend" may not have been the correct term, she wasn't sure what else to call the man who was sleeping with her roommate and would occasionally grunt a hello at Lissa. They had talked a few times on the network too. He seemed to be more articulate when writing than when speaking. Even if they weren't friends, they were allies and he was the only werewolf that Lissa trusted.
"We need to make the community aware of what's happening. And by that I mean the supernatural community. The police probably won't get very far although I doubt they're completely ignorant to the presence of the supernatural in town. Especially since most of them come through the lighthouse." Lissa sighed as she stared out through the windshield before she realized that Caleb was heading in the complete wrong direction away from her house.
"Can you turn around somewhere? We're going the wrong way," she said. Really she wanted to go home and draw the blinds and lay down alone. Alone was the only way she laid down these days anyway since Christian hadn't come through the lighthouse. Lissa had already said goodbye to him in her heart. She hoped someday they would be reunited but she wasn't going to pray for it.
"Thanks." She turned her head to him. "I was having a..." Nervous breakdown? Panic attack? Total meltdown? Lissa grasped for the right words. "A hard time in there. I'm glad you found me."
