"We could break into his office." 

I hushed Cormac. "Are you out of your mind?" He was talking like this in a government building. I looked around, but no one seemed to have heard. 

"You know I can do it," he said. "Especially since it looks like I'm not busy for the next couple days after all." 

He could do it. I didn't know where he learned how to do things like breaking into radio stations and government buildings, but he could do it. Cormac could probably learn more in a couple of hours of breaking-and-entering than I had in months of wheedling. He grinned, because my hesitation was all the confirmation he needed to go ahead with the plan

Ben said to me once that Cormac wasn't a crusader. He wasn't a werewolf hunter because he hated werewolves, or had a religious beef against them like Duke. Rather, he liked to see how close he could walk to the edge without falling off. He didn't have any loyalty to the government, the people who hired him, or anyone else. 

Cormac was only planning this to see if he could. For him, it was a challenge.

“I don’t want to be a part of this kind of life,” I said. “Sometimes you don’t have a choice,” he said. “When you’re the only one around who can make a stand, you don’t have a choice. Not if you want to be able to sleep at night.”

"Can you sleep at night, Cormac?" "Most of the time. When I'm not thinking about you." He grimaced. "I shouldn't have said that. Sorry." "No," I said softly. "I'm sorry." His voice was low, drawn from a dark place. "Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened if I'd shot him. After he was bitten. If I'd killed him like he wanted me to. And then, what if I came to see you. To tell you what happened. You'd be all sympathetic. You'd tell me how sorry you were, you'd start crying, I'd hold you, and then—" "Cormac, stop. Stop it. You don't actually wish…" I couldn't even say it. Cormac and Ben were like brothers, he couldn't wish Ben dead. "No," he said. "Only sometimes." "That's psychotic." "'Sociopathic' is what the prison psychologist wrote down." "Geez, Cormac—" "No, never mind. It's all just thinking." He glanced away, hiding his expression. "I don't think it would have worked out. At the end of the day…it just wouldn't." That little mischievous bit of my brain reared her catty head. I narrowed my gaze and said, "But it might have been fun finding out." "Yeah," he said, smiling.
