CHAPTER 34I don’t get it,” Kira said as they walked downstairs. “You should be disappearing right now, never to return.” Jim grinned. “You don’t get rid of me this easily.” “Really? Maybe I’ve been hanging out with the wrong people. I didn’t know cops were so difficult to dissuade,” Kira said coyly. “It might be the badge.” He shrugged. “Maybe it’s my past. There are legends of skinwalkers with my people. I guess I don’t find it all that strange.” “Strange enough to pull a gun on me.” Kira gave him a sidelong look. “I was startled.” “Yeah, that’s one word for it.” “You want dinner or not?” He looked at her. Kira laughed. “Of course.” “Then, don’t argue. I like a woman who’s a little on the wild side,” he said. “I just didn’t realize how wild. You like Italian?” “Yeah,” Kira said.
