Chapter Seven

Josh was back at work the next day and Connor was signed off for another two so that gave him more than enough time to catalogue everything that had happened. He made notes—what he’d seen, what he’d done. He’d already done this once in the hospital for Sheriff Cross, who had visited with a fruit basket and a sadness about him that didn’t leave.

He glanced down at what he’d written. Osborne’s name in big letters and ringed in red. Was it quick? This dying thing? Had Osborne seen his attacker? Had he suffered? An urge to kill curled in the pit of Connor’s stomach and he added a single word under Osborne’s name. Wolf.

Not that anyone believed him about the wolf attack. Or rather, everyone heard him explain he was utterly sure it was a wolf that had attacked him. And everyone who heard that listened and nodded and said all the right things. Called in Wildlife services, called local zoos.

It was dark everyone ended up saying. Of course, the fact that what had at first appeared to be parallel and deep cuts into his chest from a wolf’s claws now looked like nothing more than the scrape of a branch did nothing to back up his story.

Then how did Osborne get his throat torn?

It wasn’t torn, Cross had told him in response. It looked like he stumbled and hit his head, rolled awkwardly. The coroner says a broken neck.

So what about all the blood? God, how many times had he asked this question?

There wasn’t that much blood, Cross pointed out.

What about the dog the car hit? Was that maybe another wolf? A smaller one, maybe?

We don’t have wolves in Vermont, Connor.

Should we get Josh to test blood type or something? He knows a lot.

Forensics have it covered. You just get well.

He felt like a damn dog having his head patted and being told to go sit in his bed until the owners sorted the problem. And yes, he was aware that was a very weird analogy to use.

Bored, he decided to make Josh lunch and wander over to the practice. Josh was lucky Edward was happy to cover when Connor had been in hospital, but Josh wanted desperately to be back and working and Connor desperately wanted him to go. Josh was probably tired of how many times Connor had jumped him over the last four days. Not that they weren’t normally active, they were, but the sex between them had been intense and quick and rough. He owed Josh an apology and hoped his lover’s favorite PB&J sandwiches might go some way to smoothing the waters. Josh wasn’t unhappy, but he had sat Connor down this morning at the table and queried whether Connor was simply looking for life-affirming sex. In Connor’s head that cheapened what they were doing to the point where he worried he was forcing himself on Josh.

He shook his head to clear the worries. He and Josh were solid and in love. He stuffed another sandwich in his mouth as he walked over.
