“How would that work?” Rollo asked him.
“I don’t know, I’m just talking shit,” he laughed as he rubbed his face. “So, are you taking off?”
“Absolutely!”
“No problem. Just stay in touch, okay? I’m probably going to want to recap this interview with you.”
“Roger that,” Rollo said as he disappeared around the corner.
Mate. Is she really my mate? With the way she’s been acting?
His dragon roared.
Okay, okay, easy.
But Dax was having his doubts.

It wasn’t too much laterthat Etta arrived. Or as Dax and his pack often joked, a few of her flowing scarfs arrived, and then about a minute later, she caught up with them. He had once counted seven scarves on her.Seven. Insanity.Of course he wasn’t going to tell her that.
Bloom came right along with her.As usual, Dax’s dragon was instantly alert the moment she came into view.More alert. But he was a little put off that she didn’t approach him.
I don’t have time for this now.He pushed his worries about Bloom away, even as his dragon clawed at the ground.
“My dear Dax, where is our prisoner? Now that we know more, I think we need to have a little chat with him,” Etta said, pulling him out of his thoughts.
“Follow me,” he said. Then turning to see Bloom following, “It seems the women are out of danger now, and I would say The Tree is in the clear as well. I think it’s best if you wait here, or you can watch on the camera. But I don’t want you in the room.”
Bloom seemed a little taken aback, but then quickly recovered, “I thought we were in this together, Dax.”
Etta interrupted before he could say anything.
“I assume he’s in the holding cells, right? Let’s go, we have no time to waste.”
He pointed Bloom to where she could go and watch from the cameras before marching off behind Etta toward the stairs.
His Dragon raged.

“So, it’s Jasper, right?”
“That’s right,” the man said. He had the tough guy looks and size to go along with his apparent job. He sat tight-lipped across from Dax and Etta in the interview room. Dax looked up at the camera, knowing that Bloom was watching from another room.
“Tell us everything you know,” Dax said simply.
“There’s nothing to tell,” Jasper said.
“Oh, I don’t believe that, sweety,” Etta said. It was obvious who would be playing the ‘good cop’ today, Dax mused.
“You guys can go fuck yourselves, both of you – sweety,” Jasper hissed.
“Oh, is that so?” Dax breathed. This was going to be fun.
Jasper remained silent as he glared at them.
“We have reason to believe your boss is looking to sell your little Supernova drug, and lots of it, right here in our quaint little town. And we just can’t have that, sweety,” Etta said kindly. “Now, I know you are a good boy deep down, so why don’t you just save us the trouble of beating you senseless, okay, sugar?”
