I thought I saw someone." "Where?" "I--I--" He looked around. "I don't know. Down there maybe?" He pointed along the wharf.

He looked around as if expecting a posse of armed gunmen to round the corner at any moment. When footsteps sounded, he tensed, muscles bunching, prepared to leap up and defend us against--Two preteen boys passed the alcove. One of them saw us and whispered to his friend. They grinned our way and shot Daniel a thumbs-up. When they'd gone by, I pushed him off me."Okay, I might have overreacted," he said as we sat up."You think?

Kelley Armstrong _ The Gathering
I was rounding the local theater, planning to circle back, when Daniel's shout pulled me up short.I turned. He barreled toward me, his eyes wide with alarm. Right, like I was falling for that one.I started to run again. I should have been able to outpace him easily. I always could. But the next thing I knew, I was being tackled. He knocked me into an alcove, both of us hitting the wall, then collapsing to the ground."Stay down!" he said.Not much chance of doing anything else with him on top of me. But when I glanced up into his eyes, I saw that the panic wasn't fake. He looked around as if expecting a posse of armed gunmen to round the corner at any moment. When footsteps sounded, he tensed, muscles bunching, prepared to leap up and defend us against--Two preteen boys passed the alcove. One of them saw us and whispered to his friend. They grinned our way and shot Daniel a thumbs-up. When they'd gone by, I pushed him off me."Okay, I might have overreacted," he said as we sat up."You think?

Kelley Armstrong _ The Gathering
I do want to talk to Mina Lee and see what she knows, and the only reason I'm stalling is because I've got something to say first. It's going to piss you off, and I'd really rather be sitting in a public place when it happens.'"So I won't storm off?""Exactly.""I'd never do that, Daniel." I stepped closer and looked up at him. "You have the keys, and it's a very, very long walk--"I snagged the keys from his pocket and took off. I easily darted around a gaggle of senior citizens nearly blocking the sidewalk. Daniel didn't have as much luck, and I heard him apologizing amid gasps and harrumphs.

Kelley Armstrong _ The Gathering
Daniel turned to the page as I looked over his shoulder. One word caught my eye."Witches?" I said. "Shouldn't this have been sent to me?""Not witches," he said, pointing. "Witch-hunters. An Italian cult of witch-hunters.""Okay, so what's the connection to you? Your parents are Italian and you like fighting. Oh my God. You're a witch-hunter. I'm a witch. Hate to break it to you, Daniel, but if you're a witch-hunter? You're doing it wrong."He gave me a sidelong smile. "Maybe it's not that kind of hunting.""Then you're doing it wrong."He laughed and we continued reading.
