Chapter One

“We have a problem.”

“Another one?” Jennifer asked.

This happened every now and then when they got a new team leader. Whoever it was, they came riding in on their big white horse, ready to save the world. What they didn’t understand was the DPCA, the Department of Paranormal Creatures and Activity, dealt with this shit all the time.

“Shifters are going missing,” her new boss said, and Jennifer raised her eyebrows.

“I am aware, sir. Which group is it this time?”

“This happens often?”

“Well, no more than it happens to full humans, I suppose. Typically, it’s a supe on supe situation for which we have special ops teams designated to deal with them. Each team has a certain set of skills required to handle whatever the situation calls for.”

“This isn’t that, Miss Dylluan. It seems the missing Shifters are being kidnapped and sold for sport. I am forwarding you the brief, since I believe you know some of the missing,” he said.
