Evon waited patiently at his desk for the arrival of Ryder Stark, hand raking through short hair as he held back the yawn that wished to escape. It had been a very long and ugly night and he had much too little caffeine in him.
The wards that the Fae had established along the perimeter of No Man’s Land months ago were working like a charm and the witches had devised a spell that would send out an ‘alert’, almost like a motion detector, when a humanoid body set foot on land. This way the police weren’t strapped to the coastline drop-off points and could focus on other things pending. The dozen or so times that the alert had gone off had been pretty routine pick-ups but the scenario was completely different with the call that night.
He and Dylan arrived in the midst of a blood bath. Bodies of a number of military men were lying lifeless on the beach and two younger soldiers were fighting over the inert form of what they found to be a female. Evon took to higher ground while Dylan approached the men, gun drawn. When the young soldiers noticed the arrival of a native they became even more agitated; their speech erratic and they aggressively approach the police officer. Evon didn’t think twice, or bat an eye, as he put a bullet into each one even before they could draw down on his friend.
The young woman had remained unconscious during the trip back into the city proper and upon waking, promptly flipped out, exposing herself as a shapeshifter. She didn’t calm until they sent Dahlia into speak with her and it was the female officer who got her to talk. Thanks to their new records system, what they found by following up her story was surprising. She was related to someone already here in No Man’s Land and she had no knowledge of it.
