She released Chrissy and flung her toward me. My arms went out and caught her. Chrissy! I stepped
in front of her, tensing. The attack would come now.

The woman stepped back and tossed the knife onto the bed. She then opened her arms and smiled at
me.

тАЬI just wanted to say hi.тАЭ She turned her back to me and placed her hands behind her head.

Stunned, I picked up the knife and went to her. She started as the point of the knife pressed into the
back of her neck.

тАЬGeez! YouтАЩre quieter than IтАЩd been told!тАЭ

тАЬYou threatened the life of my mate,тАЭ I said tonelessly. I leaned on the knife and a trickle of blood
painted the tip.

тАЬI did,тАЭ she said in an equally flat tone.

I kept her like that for a long minute, then lowered the knife. I went into the bathroom and retrieved
the first aid kit. She was sitting in a chair, tenderly touching the back of her neck. Her fingers came
away bloody.

тАЬI didnтАЩt know Pisces protocol allowed for injury,тАЭ she complained.

I tossed the kit to Chrissy. She caught it and tended the womanтАЩs wound.

тАЬYour life was mine to take, just as ChrissyтАЩs was yours.тАЭ I looked at her with something less than
pleasure. тАЬWhat is it you want?тАЭ

She looked up at me. Chrissy had sprayed on the NumMist and was applying the grasping skin none
too gently. Despite that, the woman didnтАЩt flinch.

тАЬIтАЩm the first step on your GrandfatherтАЩs quest.тАЭ
