Chapter 4

When they were beneficial, the powers brought out the good in Vic. He’d saved countless lives, stopped criminals in their tracks, and rescued his lover more times than Matt liked to admit. Hell, it was through Vic’s altruistic nature they had ended up with Sadie, a tan mixed breed mutt currently lounging in front of the apartment door waiting for him to come home. No wonder the dog liked him more than she did Matt.

Eh, she likes me just fine.Out loud, Matt asked, “Don’t you, girl?”

Sadie raised her head up off her paws and gave him an expectant look.

Matt asked again. “Don’t you?”

The dog whined, almost as if answering him to say, Yeah, whatever.When she placed her head on her paws again, though, she watched him. Waiting.

Matt knew why. She was waiting for Vic.
