Badger to the Bone (Honey Badger Chronicles, #3)

She stormed off and was halfway down the hall when she spun back around, now grinning, and happily told Max, “Oh, and tell Stevie I said ‘hi’!” Max nodded and gave her a thumbs-up. When Blayne was gone, Max muttered, “That bitch is a nut.” A minute or two later, Bo returned. He stopped just below, gazing at them, and asked, “So was the kid on the ceiling?” Afraid to reveal anything, Zé and Max merely stared back but he seemed to see through their clever silence. He nodded his head, started up the final steps. “Yeahhhh. Blayne thinks I don’t know. But I know.” “Let me guess,” Max said. “You thought that with both of you being hybrids, your varied genes would just wipe each other out and you’d end up with full-human children. Right?” “Yep. That’s what we thought.” He glanced back at them. “Instead . . . we have children that can run on the ceiling. Like lizards.” “They can all do it?’ Max asked. “Yeah. They can all do it. Blayne hasn’t figured that out yet, though. She’s probably in denial.”
