know.”   Issie said as one never ending sentence, rambling so fast I almost didn’t understand her.   Oakley let her go and she flipped her hands on her coat like she was dusting it off.
     
                “Do you have any idea how expensive it is to clean leather?   I’ll never get your stench off,” she said haughtily.
     
                “Whatever.   I expect you’ll call me if you see anything.   No games, Issie .”   He folded his knife, sliding it back into its holder on his belt.   “Abe, let’s go.”   He turned and started back towards the road.
     
                “ Toodles Mr. Greatness.   Nice ass; come back and play any time.   Don’t bring that bossy Oakley next time!”   Issie cried out to us.
     
                When we got to the road we noticed the truck was gone, damn.   One thing I still couldn’t get used to was leaving my clothes in random places.   I always had the intention of returning to pick them up, not always doing it.
     
                “Looks like we’ll be running.   Before we do, what was that about?”   I asked Oakley.
     
                He unzipped his leather jacket, getting ready for the shift.   “You can’t trust them.   Issie used to be a really sweet girl and both of them were accepted to Juilliard School.   Issie is a ballerina and her sister was a violinist, until their father was killed.   A supernatural poacher was hunting fox shifters; their fur is the most sought after for coats among elite supers.   That is how she got that scar on her face.   I don’t know why she didn’t heal but she didn’t and the whole thing changed her.   I actually went on a couple of dates with her before it happened.   She doesn’t trust supers anymore and she will lie to protect her family.   Unlike us, she is only out for her skulk.   I don’t know if you’ve ever seen that big log cabin off Jasmine Drive; that is where they all live.”   He tilted his head to the side thinking for a second.   “I think there are eleven of them, thirteen if you count her brothers that moved somewhere in Europe.   Her family is the only skulk in the United States.”   He finished folding up his clothes and set them by a tree.
     
                “That’s crazy.   I still don’t get why you’re so mean to her though.   I’ve never seen you mean with a woman before.”   I tucked my wallet in the travelers pouch I wore around my neck for instances like this.
     
                “Let’s just say, that is the only way you can get the truth out of her,” Oakley said as he got on the ground and shifted.
     
                Looking around, I memorized the exact place we left our stuff.   As I ran next to him the rest of the way home, I tried to see him with a girl like Issie .   I thought she was cute but way over the edge in the attitude department.           
     
                “Took you long enough.”   Chrissy said as she stood on the front porch, arms crossed and foot tapping.   “I was about to go tell the IT guys to track you.”   I looked up at her as she fussed at me, going over to nuzzle her until she put her hand in my pelt and petted me.   Her arms went around my neck, I breathed in deeply taking in her fear, her scent and her pheromones until my senses were completely bathed in her essence. She walked over and held the door open for us.    I stood on the front door mat doing my best not to track in dirt, my best still left paw prints on the floor.   I was apparently the messiest wolf they have to deal with.   Luckily I had status, or they would have had me in a dog house for sure.
