Sneaky is as Sneaky Does
I rubbed my hands together and blew warm air onto my fingers. The
long winter had lingered into spring. And I had spent entirely too much
time on rooftops waiting for bad people to do bad things.
“Well, one good thing about my beat, I don’t have to wait around in the
cold all night long,” Agent Keung whispered.
I smirked. “No, I suppose the opium dens are rather warm. Don’t you
get a headache though?”
Agent Keung grinned. “Only the good kind. Have you ever partaken,
Agent Louvel?”
“No. I have quite enough vices. Mine are mostly of the sugar and butter
variety, though.”
He chuckled. “I spend far more time in opium dens and brothels than I
need or want.”
“You see, the clean, crisp air will do you some good.”
“If it’s all the same to you, I’d prefer to never work your beat ever
again.”
I chuckled. “Well, then let’s see what we can do about your missing
shaman.”

Agent Keung nodded. “All of Limehouse is in an uproar,” he said,
referring to the small, east end Chinese community. While many good
families lived there, the place was polluted by brothels and opium houses.
Located near the river, it was a popular spot for sailors and others who had
picked up the opium habit. “They believe the entire opium market will fall
apart without Master Qiang controlling the spirits that watch over it.”
I looked back at him over my shoulder. “One of my fluffy friends is
interested in your shaman for a reason. Does he control spirits?”
Agent Keung nodded. “Yes, but it’s not the spirits watching over the
opium dens I’m worried about. It’s the other creatures Master Qiang
controls that we must keep at bay.”

“Lovely. Of what variety?”
“Elementals. Harmless when controlled. Dangerous as demons when
they aren’t. Not the type we want roaming about the realm.”
“Why can’t they ever lord over something quaint? Garden gnomes
would be a nice change of pace.”
Agent Keung chuckled. “In theory. But I can’t imagine taking on a
horde of possessed garden gnomes. Can you?”
I grinned, the image of hundreds of inches-high men in red hats on the
attack. “You paint quite the picture.”

“Spirits are no fun to tangle with, but I have to say, I don’t care much
for your pets, Agent Louvel. Not a very civilized bunch.”
“They aren’t all bad,” I replied, my mind drifting to Lionheart. I was
surprised when I felt my heartbeat quicken a little at the thought of his
wolfy grin. “Just don’t get too cozy with them on a full moon.”
Agent Keung chuckled lightly.
