Chapter Two: Spill It.

Eve just sat there in silence, trying to figure this out. "Wait, let me get this straight, you work for the CIA and you're being hunted?"

Cassity merely nodded. "They don't know I'm being hunted, and I don't want them to know, that's why I flew here. To find you."

Eve just sat back and considered this. "What do you want from me, is what I am failing to understand." She idly put her hand on the pistol and ran a finger across the butt.

Cassity paced back and forth like a trapped animal. "I want… I need your help on this. I don't care if I die trying, or they find me, that's not what this is about, what this is about is that I want to know who murdered my p—my family." She explained.

Eve considered this for a moment. "Alright. Fine." She said, but wasn't happy with the agreement. "I'm going to have to let my Commander know." She murmured.

Cassity, while filled with glee, didn't show it very much and when she mentioned having to speak with her commander she all but jumped out of her skin. "You cant, you cant… no one can know. No one. This is under the radar, not on the books, nothing."

Eve just blinked and watched her. "Twenty people go missing and die, and its off the books? What kind of crazy ass place is… Michigan?"

Cassity just sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "Theres more to the story than that.. but I cant tell you right now." She murmured and rested her hands on the back of the guest chair.

Eve stood up now, getting frustrated. "I cant help you unless I know everything."

Cassity sighed again, and looked down, she swallowed hard and knew that eventually she would have to tell her anyway. "It wasn't just humans they killed." She murmured. "It was wolves."

Eve blinked, shook her head and all that could possibly come out of her mouth was. "What."

Cassity nodded. "I—We…" she waited a beat. "Wolves."

Eve looked from Cassity to the city outside. "You want me to drop everything I am doing to hunt down people who are killing dogs?"

Cassity tried to contain her anger, convincing herself that this woman she respected and looked up to didn't understand. "Wolves. My family, we're.. wolves."

Eve stayed where she was standing and just looked out at the city, and then, without warning busted into a fit of laughter. "Yes and I am a dinosaur from the ice age." She said. "You cant be serious. You came all this way to tell me this shit story, just to see me, why? Because I'm famous?"

Cassity almost lunged at her. She didn't like being laughed in the face nor did she like how Eve was so cocky that she was treating her this way. "No. I didn't. What I said was completely true."

Eve smirked "Prove it then. If you're the last one left, I want to see hard proof."

Cassity sighed lightly. "If I must, but we need a bigger office. This will not work."

Eve looked at her almost taken aback. "For what?"

Cassity shifted her weight. "For this." She murmured, she backed up, as far as she could go against the door, opened it, and backed out. Anyone watching would think it was strange the way she was moving but she kept going. She then started walking forward and then jumped and as she was in the air something magical happened. The human flesh of the beautiful woman dissipated, and the fur, and body of a beautiful black wolf with blue eyes appeared, and took Lieutenant Dallas down by the shoulders, against the wall. Everyone all but rushed into the small office. Hearing the crash. Cassity stood holding her down teeth bared and ears forward.

Eve in pure shock called out to everyone "Don't. Do. Anything."

Peabody ran in followed by Trueheart. "What the fuck? Why is there a dog in your office and someone get it off of her!"

Cassity, turned her very large wolf head to face Peabody and growled loud.

Eve put her hands on Cassity's chest and without thinking ran her fingers through her beautiful black fur. "Its okay, shes not going to hurt me." She murmured still stunned.

Trueheart with his stunner at the ready looked down. "How do you know that?"

Eve not liking the position she was in, shifted, and kneed Cassity in the abdomen. "Shes desperate, and needs help."

Cassity yelped and backed off then, finding a corner and stayed there.

Peabody just looked at the scene infront of her. "What is.. what the hell is going on?"

Eve sighed, and regained her composure. "Trueheart, put the stunner away." She ordered.

Peabody just looked from Eve to the wolf who was now hidden in a dark corner. "Sir?"

Eve straightened herself. "I'm fine. Its my fault, I didn't believe her. Everything is fine." She reassured everyone who'd crowded her office. "Get out. Everyone, except Peabody and Trueheart."

Everyone slowly, single file left the office. All they had heard was a crash, they didn't see anything, which.. was helpful.

"Peabody close the door." Eve said, as she looked out at the bullpen. "This didn't happen, okay. We're going to, for the moment act like it didn't happen. And I am going to explain to both of you why."

Peabody shifted and looked at Eve. "I'm still confused. She turned into a wolf? And needs your help?"

Trueheart stayed silent trying to figure it out on his own.

Eve continued. "Shes scared. Her entire family was murdered, well, hunted. And she wants to know who's responsible. She's afraid they're coming for her too."

Cassity – now a human again grabbed up her clothes and in the shadows put them back on. Nothing like being a disgrace when trying to get help. When she finally was clothed, thanking the desk for hiding her shame, she stood up, but said nothing.

Peabody just looked at her, jaw to the floor. "You—what."

Eve snapped. "Focus!" she waited a beat. "This is serious." She looked at Cassity. "Sorry for the kick, and sorry for not believing you."

Cassity just sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't like sharing my secret like that. Nor do I like causing harm to others unless I have to. I took a huge risk, and it almost got me killed. So I hope that now you'll listen to me. All of you."

Eve looked from Cassity to Peabody to Trueheart who was still in stunned silence. "We're going to help her. The CIA doesn't know about this investigation, nor does Commander Whitney. We will go on with our open cases as well, but this – this takes priority til I say otherwise."

Cassity looked at Eve and smiled a ghost of a smile. "Thank you."

Eve looked back at her and for a moment thought that in a past life they could have been sisters. They looked so much a like. "Don't thank me yet, I may lose my ass on this too. Peabody, Trueheart Dismissed!"
