„Uncle Dev said that when people touch you, you can tell things about them. Can you?”
„I can.”
She jumped up and down in her excitement as she clapped her small hands. „That's so neat. I don't have my powers yet. I keep hoping they'll come in…along with my breasts, but so far nothing. How long did it take you to get big breasts?”
Sam hesitated before she answered a question that strangely made her laugh. „When I was about twelve.”
„Hmmm, I wonder what that makes in Were-Hunter years? I can't ever keep that straight.” She looked down at her flat chest. „Obviously I'm not there yet. At least that's what I hope. Otherwise I'll have to stuff my bra like my cousin does. Her breasts look really, really lumpy. Like oatmeal lumpy. But I think it's 'cause what she uses to stuff them with. Kara says toilet paper isn't as good as socks. It's really gross and it makes her papa really angry.”
„Yessy! What are you doing in there?”
The little girl jumped as the door swung wider to show an older version of herself. It was like looking into a time warp to see Yessy around the age of twenty. Tall, slender, and yes, big boobed. Dressed in baggy jeans and a green pullover, the older girl was stunningly beautiful. Yessy backed into the wall.
„I'm not doing anything wrong, Josie. You're just being mean.” Josie let out a long-suffering breath as she met Sam's confused frown. „First thing this morning she tries to bake Remi's Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake in the oven 'cause she thinks that's what a Baked Alaska is, now she's defying orders and disturbing you. I am so sorry.” She looked back at her sister. „I swear, Yessy, you're trying so hard not to live. I keep telling you, Papa eats the dumb ones.”
Dev snorted as he came up behind her. „Well, that can't be true, Jo-Jo. You're still here.”
She rolled her eyes at him in a way only someone close to Dev could do and live. „You have no idea how trying she is.”
Dev scoffed. „Of course I do. I was here when you were her age.”
Josie stiffened in indignation. „I never acted that way.”
„No,” he said in a dry, flat tone. „You never behaved like that ever. You were a perfect angel. Always. Why is there still a hole in the north stovepipe again?”
If looks could kill, Dev would be seriously wounded. „That was different. Alex was bothering me and he was the one who bought the firecrackers.”

Dev met her gaze. „Then how did they get in? You leave a window open with a note on it or something?”
She gave him an irritated smirk. „Yes, yes I did. I told them to come in and make themselves at home and while they were at it, to immobilize me and stab me straight through the heart 'cause I'm just that effing bored.”

„Relax, Grizzly Adams. I'm still getting nothing from you.”
Carson laughed. „Damn, Dev. Remi's right. There is nothing going on inside your head.”
Dev cut him a vicious glare. „You better be glad I'm holding her, Birdman, else you and I'd be going round right about now.”

„ […] Is there anyone else who saw the Daimon who isn't afraid of me?”
„I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of the brain damage you're going to give me. No offense, but I need my last three working brain cells.”
„I've never given anyone brain damage by doing this.”
„Uh-huh.” He wrinkled his nose. „That you know of. Have you done CAT scans on everyone you've done this with? No. Do you know whether or not you took out their long-term or short-term memory portions of the brain?”
No, but that really wasn't an issue. She wasn't going to radiate him or anything.
„Paranoid much?”
„Absolutely. You watch this door for a hundred years and see some of the shit that comes through here. You'd be paranoid too. I don't want no mojo hocus pocus stirring in my head. If I want to play head games, I'll download Sudoku on my iPhone.”
Sam held her hands up in surrender. There was no use arguing with someone who was this stubborn.
„Fine. I'll do it without touching you.”
„Ah, now that's just rude.”
He narrowed his gaze on her. Sam knew he had something in mind and when he spoke again, she gaped at his intentions.
„Fine then if that's what you want. You go digging in my head and I'm going to stand here and undress you with my eyes until you're buck naked. Just so you know, I'm putting you in a sheer red thong. No bra…maybe a pair of red pasties…no, better yet, strawberry-flavored nipple paint and I'm coating your entire body in honey.”
Sam grimaced. „You're a male pig.”
„I'm a bearswain and you're lucky I'm tolerating you to pick through my brain. Last person tried that, I ate their head, and besides, I should get something out of this before you destroy my frontal lobe and make me drool on myself and relearn how to use eating utensils. Have you ever tried doing that when you're a bear? It wasn't easy the first time. Last thing I want to do is relearn it at my archaic age.”
She had to roll her eyes again at his unwarranted hysteria.
„I don't think that's the part of the brain that controls your drool.”
„But you don't know for sure, now do you? No, you don't. 'Cause you're a Daimon necrologist, not a Were-Hunter neurologist. You don't know what damage you're going to do until it's too late and then an I'm-sorry-Dev-I-burned-out-your-brain ain't worth squat. Probably won't even understand the apology because you'll hose my Wernicke's area of the brain and set me back to infancy.”
Ignoring him, she closed her eyes and reached out to him with her powers.
„If it makes you feel any better, I don't like doing this.”
„For the record, it don't. But while you're in there if you happen to see where I lost my nano, let me know. Been looking for it for days now. And the least you could do, Ms. Intrusive, is tell me where to find it.”

She ignored his tirade as she brought him back on task. „It won't hurt.”
„Yeah, and the flashy thing is just an eye test.”
What in the world was he talking about now? „The what?”
„Flashy thing? Haven't you ever seen Will Smith in Men in Black?”
„Uh…no.”
He sighed. „You're so deprived.”

He stepped away from her. „I'm not going to let you into my mind, girl. You might steal my passwords or something.”
„I don't want your passwords.”
„Uh-huh.” The doubtful expression on his face was actually adorable. „That's what they all say, then the next thing you know they're in your bank accounts, stealing money, and using your Facebook account to sporn others and getting you banned for life. No thanks.”
„Sporn?”
„Porn spam. Don't get that innocent look like you don't know what I'm talking about. I know all about you and your Amazon buddies…. I've heard the stories. Seen the news and all that. I'm not letting you near my brain such that it is. Last thing I want to do is forget what Ms. February looks like in all her glory. I went to a lot of trouble to memorize that page and I want to keep it.”

„You're just like Acheron.”
„I'll take that as a compliment.”
„It wasn't intended as one.”
„I know. But it irritates you that you're not irritating me.” His grin widened. „I can live with that.”
