- Billy scowled at me, but he left the pizza alone. "So what do I do?"
- "Sit tight and make sure no one else tries to pop me while I'm talking to Toot-toot."
- "Toot-toot?" Billy asked, lifting an eyebrow.
- "Hell's bells, Billy, I didn't pick the name. Just be quiet. If he thinks there are mortals around he'll get nervous and leave before I can snare him."
- "If you say so," Billy said. "I was just hoping to do more good than to deliver pizza."
- I raked my fingers through my hair. "I don't know what you could do yet."
- "I could track those three in the picture you showed me."
- I shook my head. "Odds are they just got into a car and left."
- "Yeah," he said, some forced patience in his voice. "But if I get their scent now, it might help me find them later on."
- "Oh," I said, feeling a bit stupid. Okay, so I hadn't considered the whole shapeshifting angle. "Fine, if you want to. Just be careful, all right? I don't know what all might be prowling around."
- "Okay, Mom," Billy said. He set the pizza box on top of a closed trash can, fell back down the alley, and vanished.
- I waited until Billy had gone to find a nice patch of shadows to step into. Then I closed my eyes for a moment, drawing up my concentration, and began to whisper the faerie's Name.

- "Gotcha," Billy said. He glanced back at me. "How'd it go? You get what you needed?"
- "Yeah," I said. "You?"
- He shrugged. "Alley isn't the best place to pick up scents, but I should be able to recognize them again if I'm in my other suit. They didn't smell quite normal."
- "Gee, what are the odds."
- Billy's teeth showed in the dark. "Heh. So what are we waiting for?"
