Chapter 173

• Almost fifteen minutes on the dot, Blair heard movement in the trees. He inhaled and immediately regretted it. Sucking more of the offensive scent into his body. He went around and opened the side door of the van. If someone was looking for them, introductions would have to wait until he got them the hell out of here.
• His cat was freaking out inside him. He didn’t like not being able to smell. When the sound got closer, Blair hunched down, ready to spring in case the clan members weren’t causing the barely audible sounds.
• A woman with long brown hair stepped out of the thick growth. She had a small girl with strawberry blonde hair and huge frightened blue eyes in front of her. Blair stepped down into the ditch and held out his hand to help them up it, “It’s okay, honey,” he took the little girl’s hand, “I’m Blair and I’m taking you somewhere safe,” he kept his voice soft and light.
