But they found me in the first motel I stopped at. Not the three psychos, someone actually worse. And I didn’t realise it was possible for someone to be worse. It was the Deputy Headmaster of Animus Academy, who the authorities no doubt sent to hunt the rabid crim (me) down. They usually send a dedicated retrieval team to hunt rabid or feral beasts to protect the human community, but I guess they thought I was a special case and that they needed to send the best lion in the state. A specialist, as it were. Lyle Pardalia.
