His sister was unusually preoccupied with whatever was on the television.

"What are you watching?"

"You." She looked positively giddy.

"What?"

"Nice shootin' tex."

He wiped a hand down his face and gripped the door frame.

"They blocked me in before I could get to the car."

"You look like you have to shit so bad while they're interviewing you," she commented looking back at the screen.

"I was uncomfortable."

"Fame does not suit you, makes you look pale." Her words took a condescending tone, chiding even with the little dip to the side her head did when she said it.

"Have fun amusing yourself with my discomfort."

"Oh, I will. Trust me. Where are you going, bed? You are such a grumpy old man."

He sighed and with raised eyebrows as if he had no idea what in the world was going on anymore responded with, "This grumpy old man has to go lecture his teenage daughter on not skipping school to go running through the woods all day and part of the night with the boy who she was most likely going to have sex with in her bedroom with the condom you gave her."

"I did not give her a condom; she acquired it all on her own. She was just gathering supplies, just in case."

He wished his sister many children of her own one day. Divine retribution would be sweet.

"Well maybe you shouldn't leave your condoms in plain sight."

"In my luggage under the bed is not plain site," she replied.

"Why do you even have condoms?"

"Um, because I have sex. You remember sex right; I mean it's been what? A decade and a half since you've had any."

He wondered who on earth his sister would find to have sex with in this town. Not many men that were her type were roaming around.

"Not funny."

"It kinda is." She pouted.

"Let me go ground Allison again and then we'll talk."

"About how you think someone let a mountain lion loose in the school parking lot on purpose to ease people's suspicions about it not being a mountain lion killing people, and to throw us off the trail or put us on the trail that the Alpha is either smarter than a wild dog or that it has a partner in crime watching it's back."

"All of the above."

"I'm gonna need coffee."

"Put something in mine. It's been a long night."

"Got it chief," she tossed her hand back in a wave already on her way to the kitchen.
