Nora held back a smile as her girl managed to both compliment her partner and admit to being attracted to the buffoon next to them. However, it was hard not to blush. "Well, you can have him." Was all she said, leaning back a little more comfortably now. She zoomed in on the picture that Hal took. The man in suspect was leaning against a wall, it was raining, and the picture looked as if it were taken at hip height. With a little more stretch, she was able to see his face.
"Holy shit. I think that's the guy from LeatherWorx downtown." Nora squinted hoping that it would help her see more clearly. She looked over at Ash for recognition. "Look." She swung the clunky smartphone over to her.
"Hey, careful with my phone!" Hal whined, extending his hands in case of a falling phone.
"Its the owner, Max." She gave a concerned glance to Ash, a secret conversation brewing between them. Both of them had gotten strange feelings about the guy previously.
"So? Is he a hunter?" Hal stressed, clamboring over so he could look at the screen also. Nora pushed him back with a foot as she kept close with Ash and Audrey.
"Where have you been spotting him?" Nora focused back on Hal and handed his phone to him. He wiped off the screen and put it in his hoodie pocket.
"Well, the first time I saw him was... Huh..." He looked down, shaking his head. "To be honest, I feel like I've seen him since I was pretty young..." He scratched the back of his matted head, concerned about his mental stability. "But the last few times were all pretty close together. After my shifts, sometimes I'll see him walking towards me from the alleyway in between the diner and Pizza Joe's."
Nora glanced at the digital clock on their kitchen stove. "Audrey, we've got a lot of questions... And it seems that you're the only one with answers. If we're not keeping you, we'd love to eat some breakfast and chat some more. You're welcome to stay as long as you'd like." She smiled warmly towards her secretary.
"And Hal, you're welcome also. At least until we can figure out how to keep you safe." Of course, this extended to both of them. Nora wasn't too keen on letting either of these creatures back into the world and out of her control. "But, I wanted to ask you Audrey. How did you get along, knwoing you were a werewolf? You seem to know a lot about it... Were you raised by a pack? Do you have family? Have you been hunted?" She paused and chuckled sardonically. "Its just hard for me to understand how you could've kept this all hidden, and- I feel lost. Like so many things have been right beneath my feet that I've never even noticed." She shook her head, eyes wide behind her black frames.
