Jackalopes and Woofen-Poofs

Jackalopes and Woofen-Poofs (2017) Angel Martinez (Offbeat Crimes, #5)

Unless Wolf’s squad had interesting specimens to send, State usually acted like the 77th wasn’t worth the attention a mosquito would rate.

“Audacity, you should keep your head down. I don’t think wolf cubs are allowed here normally.”

Miw. Her answer was little more than a peep as she sank back into the depths of Miriam’s bag.

Audacity started on her bacon as soon as Mom set the plate in front of her. She was meticulously polite, only putting one paw on the table and taking a piece at a time. Jason had frowned at encouraging a cat to eat at the table but Mom had said her granddaughter could have something with the grownups if she behaved. So Audacity did.

“Kinda wish I could take you with me, Mom,” Wolf mumbled around a bite of toast.

“I wish I could go too, sweetie. But then all the other officers would want to take their moms and the poor board of inquiry members at State probably wouldn’t survive.”
