Warning: Strong language!
Chapter One: On Patient Werewolves & Exploding Kitsune
“Barker!” The shout cut through Maximillian Barker’s eardrum, making him jump. He hit his rickety desk with the tops of his thighs. Of course it wobbled, scattering paperwork everywhere.
“What?” he asked the ear-bud.
“Get your scrawny ass down to the parking lot.”
Max put the form he’d been frowning over down on his now messy desk. Werewolves. Why did I have to get the werewolves for processing?
“Barker, you lazy fuck, move,” the ear-bud squawked again. His boss wasn’t known for her patience.
“I’m moving. I’m moving. You lick your girlfriend’s ass with that tongue?” Max was in the hall and heading toward the parking lot. Coworkers lunged out of his way. He refused to run. Max was tall with a propensity to gangle, meaning that him moving at speed looked unstable and might cause a panic. But he did scowl. Well, scowl more than usual.
“Why? You offering to sub in, you useless waste of space?”
Speaking of useless. “What the hell you need me for, boss? You never need me.”
“You’re the only Placer we got on staff.”
Max picked up his pace. He was the only Placer on staff because no one ever needed a Placer. Not in this government-mandated paper-pushing hellhole. So if they actually did need a Placer, it was likely to be bad. Really bad.
“What’s the damage type?”
“Shifter.”
Of course it is. “Tell me more.”
The muttering over Max’s ear-bud was embarrassed. “Not a civilian, one of ours.”
“Crap. Do we know the expected consequence?”
“Fire.”
“Oh shit.” Max began to sprint. Let everyone start panicking. He was.
