Chapter 1
WILD barking awakened Benton Collins, and he sprang from his bed without thinking. The top sheet
and blanket entangled his legs, sending him sprawling, heart pounding, on the floor. Whining frantically,
Korfius thrust a wet nose into his face.
Collins pushed the dog away. He lived in graduate student housing, which normally did not allow pets;
however, Korfius was considered a hero, for bringing the help that saved Collins' life. The Algary College
staff and his neighbors politely looked the other way, treating Korfius like a seeing eye dog and not
throwing him up as an example whenever their own better-concealed cats, fish, and birds got evicted.
"Quiet, Korfius," Collins demanded, sitting on the bed and extricating himself from the awkward,
encumbering twist of coverings. He groped for his glasses on the standard issue dresser, clamped a hand
over one wire temple piece, and put them in place cm his nose one-handed. "You'll wear out your
welcome barking atтАж " Collins glanced at the digital clock at his workstation. " 3:16 a.m.!" He ran a
hand through sleep-tousled, dark brown hair and groaned. "What the hell are you doing up at 3:16 AM?"
