Chapitre 105: Chapter 105 - Asher

"Elm and Oak are clear, bro. Try Birch. I've got a weak heat signature," Xander called over the ear piece of our tactical comms.

"Copy that. Heading to Birch." I took the next turn in the big black vehicle. The ten block radius surrounding our warehouse and labs was empty. No one person, not one piece of trash, not a single animal was out here.

"Hey, did you experience any…difficulties…with your animal during that last magic surge?" I asked, trying to keep my voice even, easy.

Xander snorted in my ear. "Sure. If you experiencing difficulties means my tiger trying to hump me and jump my bones, then yeah."

I cough-laughed. The sound getting stuck in my throat. "Junior tried to molest you?"

He groaned. "Seriously, man? He needs a better name than Junior. And yes. He tried to get all up in my biz-nas."

"That's fucked up, bro."

"No shit, Ash. Not to mention it raises a number of philosophical questions for me."

"Like what?"
