Traffic was light at this hour, but in Austin, never truly gone Spike floith the cars on MLK, keeping Myka’s truck in sight The car that folloas a generic sedan--every car company uish this one If it had been a motorcycle, he’d have known every detail about it, but sedans were all the sah the heart of Austin and out the other side to a neighborhood along the bluffs near Shoal Creek She turned onto a street holding a row ofan autoe

The car halted across the street and killed its lights Spike pulled up right behind it, leapt off the bike, and started for the car The guy behind the wheel saw hiunned the car, and took off down the street, tires squealing

The noise brought Myka out of her garage She stood in her driveway, hands on hips, exposing herself to any and all danger

Spike killed his bike’s engine and rolled it quietly across the street Myka whirled and saw him

"Spike, what the hell?"

Spike stopped her words with a hand on her lips "Close that door"

Myka gaped for a second then hit the control to lower the garage door, while Spike parked his bike next to her car

"Now are you going to tellher back door

Without a word, Spike shoved hi the s on to the kitchen He turned on no lights, using his Shifter sight to look over the house, room by rooed with anxiety

Spike lowered blinds and closed curtains, checking every roo sure every door was locked before he said that she could turn on a light He didn’t need one, but light coht "Spike, what is it? Who was in the car?"

"I didn’t recognize hi me? What for?"

"To let me know he can have eyes on you any time he wants I didn’t like the look on his face today when I didn’t immediately kiss his ass"

Myka frowned in the darkness "What a butthole What about Jordan? Is he okay?"

"Ellison and Dylan are on it You haven’t et past those two"

"Well, thanks for chasing the other guy away I didn’t even see hiood" Spike went to thein her living room and cracked the blinds to peer out The street remained e around the back "I’ here"
