'Didn't your contact tell you about that?' Amon turned to Chung. 'I got separated from Jack. I went looking for him on the grounds, heard a vehicle pulling away, and went to investigate.' He glanced over at Fayo. 'It was night, and I was a long way off, but I most definitely saw a wolf run into the road. It chased after the truck but couldn't catch it – I thought it was Jack at first. Then it slunk off into the bushes.'

'I don't know anything about another wolf.' Fayo shrugged. 'Maybe my guy scrammed before he came along.'

'Well,' said Amon, 'speaking as one who was there to the end, I think Jack was accepted on board that truck because he bore a resemblance to the wolf left behind. In the heat of the moment, they didn't realize their mistake.'

'Seems we've wasted our time coming here,' said Chung. 'I thought the silverblood could throw some light on the situation. Since he can't, we'll just have to visit Maski.'
