too much violence and
destruction.
    And those eyes weren't silver
any more.
    His eyes were a mesmerizing
shade of lilac. When he smiled at her, she caught tiny flecks of
silver winking from the depths of his stunning, lilac eyes.
    “You!” she
squawked. “Officers, it's him! He's the one. He fought the
snake!”
    Rounding on him, she snarled,
“Tell 'em! Tell them what you saw, what you fought. Tell
these police officers about that goddamn snake, that Damn Slayor!”

CHAPTER
TEN

    “I don't know about
snakes M'am,” Edriq answered, trying to look as innocent and
innocuous as possible. “But I thought I heard some noise when
I passed this street earlier.”
    “Noise! It was more
than just noise. You…!” The woman gaped at him. Then
her eyes narrowed and he could hear her knuckles cracking as she
balled her fists. The woman wasn't stupid. She knew what he was
doing right away.
    He was trying to poke holes
in her story. She looked really pretty when she was angry, but Edriq
was careful to take a step back. He didn't want to get socked in the
jaw.
    “You were here
earlier?” the younger officer asked. “What is your name,
sir?”
    “Edriq Haeken. I was
taking a walk round the block and I passed this street.” It
was the truth. He just didn't tell them the reason for his walk.
    “According to Miss
Garcia, a crime took place right here. Did you hear or see anything
unusual, sir?”
    “Hmm.” Edriq
cocked his head. “I might have...”
    The younger officer
immediately whipped out his notepad.
    “I think I might have
seen some large—rats,” Edriq said in all seriousness. He
planted his hands on his hips and went on indignantly, “It's a
disgrace. Having rats running willy-nilly all over the place. Some
of them are this huge!” He placed his hands about two feet
apart to indicate just how monstrous these rodents were.
    “And they had tails
this long!” He spread his arms wide and shuddered. “Those
rats could kill someone, you know.” Edriq huffed and glowered
at the officers. “So what are you going to do about it?”
    “Us?” Officer
Smith looked flabbergasted.
    “Yes. You. You're the
police. It's your job to take care of our problems. And we have a
huge rat problem, officers.”
    Edriq glanced at the lovely
Miss Garcia. She wasn't looking at him. “I don't know why
you're doing this,” she mumbled.
    Squaring her shoulders, she
pushed Edriq out of her way and marched up to the two cops.
    “Officers,” she
began. “I am very sure I saw...”
    “A snake,”
Officer Smith deadpanned. “You killed a snake. Or was it a
rat—with a long, snake-like tail?”
    “I showed you the
alley...”
    “And there was nothing,
Miss Garcia,” Officer Smith finished impatiently. “We
went into the alley with you and we saw no body, no blood, no broken
bottle. Just a dumpster, and there's nothing in the dumpster either.
We checked, at your request,” he said pointedly, wrinkling his
nose.
    She shook her head slowly.
“You don't believe me,” she said in an angry whisper.
    “M'am, you can come
down to the station and make a statement, if you want,” the
young officer said gently.
    She shrugged. “What's
the point? You're not going to do anything. There's no one to
arrest, no leads to follow, no evidence to collect...there's nothing
to do.” Her eyes widened suddenly. “The old lady,”
she said. “Can you check on her? That's the least you can do.
Make sure she's safe.”
    “What old lady?”
Officer Smith gulped.
    “Do you know where she
lives, Miss Garcia?”
    Her shoulders slumped. “No,”
she sighed.
    “Is there anything else
we can do for you, M'am?”
    “I don't think so,”
she said unhappily.
    Edriq nodded as the officers
tipped their hats at them and walked away.
    Once they were left alone,
she whirled round to face him. “Why. Why did you lie to the
cops.”
    Edriq took a sharp breath.
What could he tell her?
    “Who are you, Edriq
Haeken. What are you. And what did you kill,”
