"Lawrence Watt-Evans - In for Pound" - читать интересную книгу автора (Watt-Evans Lawrence)

"I'm sorry, lady." He turned away.



She watched helplessly as the two men climbed into their vehicle and drove away.



This was a nightmare. They were taking her husband away! And tomorrow morning, when the moon set,
he'd turn back to himself there in the dog pound, stark naked, and they'd find him there, and it would be
in all the papers, and they'd assume it was a prank, or that he'd been drunk, and any chance he might
actually be elected mayor would be gone . . .



And besides that, it would just be so embarrassing!



She couldn't let that happen. She had to get him out of the pound tonight.
But how? She supposed there must be someone there at night, but it would just be a guard, and she
wouldn't be able to claim DaveтАФthe night watchman, or whoever was there, would just tell her to come
back in the morning.



She'd have to force them to free Dave.



And how was she going to do that? Walk in there with Dave's service weapon and order them to free
her dog?



She blinked as she stood on the lawn, watching the Animal Control van round the corner onto Armistead
Avenue.



Why not just walk in with the gun and demand her dog?



Well, for one thing, they would recognize her, and the night watchman probably had a gun of his own.
