WOLF HUNTERS

Prologue

Tony scoped out the unmarked patrol car as soon as he peeked through the window.

It’s him again, he thought, the Detective.

The one from the police station. The one who made it so clear but did it so elusively. Try as he may too rattle and unnerve Tony, he would not have him on this day.

Tony had been hiding out in his apartment for about a month now. For about as long as it’s been since he had been interviewed at the police station.

Dining on Uber eats and the occasional beer, and of course the Shaman’s potion, it became evident that he was not going to get far if he did decide to run. There was only one expressway that ran through his town, and no cab service of any kind, other than Uber. If he had did decided to run, he wouldn’t have made it far; he was sure of it. They would probably pick him up as soon as he reached the expressway.

Now that he was isolated to his home, Tony had a chance to ponder his recent woes. Maybe he had hallucinated the whole thing. The blackouts could only be that. Lapses in memory that were filled with nothing. Maybe he spent the time slumped over in his CRV. Or maybe the whole night was spent, face first, lying on top of his smartphone. It was possible that the Detective had a hard-on for transients, and just like to spend his spare time dicking around with them.

One thing he began to realize during his self-imposed captivity was that he would never be completely sure. Unless he miraculously had gained an increase in brain mass, those lost events and memories of his would never come back. It was just time lost, which was another dimension to his reality. As sure as width, and height, and mass, and density. The reality bites, and Tony’s been eaten alive.

Maybe he’ll go out for a little spin later. Take the Detective on a ride around town. He liked the thought of playing with him. Leading him on, daring him to catch him. He had nothing to lose, except his freedom, and he didn’t have much of that as it was. Yeah, maybe going outside would be good after all.

CHAPTER 1

TONY

Tony wasn’t particularly good at outwitting people.

Most of the time, he struggled just to be around most folks. He struggled to keep his composure and not succumb to the humility and absurdity of his lack of stealth concerning the mind. He knew deep inside that if he were ever captured behind enemy lines, he had better have a means of suicide at his disposal. Either that, or he better be clueless and devoid of anything secret or dangerous.

He thought
