"Yep," Peter said.

"It's her. Her show's actually pretty popular, especially amongst the pure human population. Hell, there's a lot of shifters that listen to it, though they won't admit it."

"It just can't be. I've had her yelling at me, and her voice doesn't sound like that." But it did in a way. Heda realized that the faint Louisiana drawl had definitely been there, though only faintly. All the components had been there.

"Where's the radio station?" she asked.

He told her about where it was situated.

"Why?"

"Seeing is believing."

"You really wanna do that?"

Actually, she did. She wanted a damn explanation from that girl, and she was going to get it.

He stood up.

"I should go with you. You shouldn't be out alone --"

She grabbed her fanny pack and tossed in her wallet.

"Can't. Joanna didn't take her keys, so you've got to let them back in. I can take care of myself. Bye!" And she took off from the room like she was being chased by a bullet. She heard her roommate calling out after her, but she didn't pay any mind. Peter could explain it. It only took her a few minutes to get to the somewhat unimpressive looking building on the edge of campus. She tested the front door to find it locked.

"Well," she said, "there seems to be a flaw in my plan." She wandered around the building, looking for another way in, but everything was locked up. Well, if there was a woman alone on a college campus in times like these, she guessed that she couldn't blame them. It turned out that Madison wasn't alone. Heda got back around to the front and found Billy Forester standing on the front steps, looking a trifle amused.

“You're a glutton for punishment aren't you?"

“Hey, I just found out she worked here and is on the air and the very least I think I've earned is an explanation."

“For what?"

“Why she tried to kick me in the head! And why she keeps calling me a big wooden equine!"

Billy cocked his head like he was trying to figure something out.

"I guess you've got a point."

“Of course I do!" She paused.

"Why are you here?"

"I produce her show. We're both Communications and Journalism majors.

I started working here a few years ago and she showed up last year looking for a job. Department head is pure human and was actually scared about turning her down due to her handicap. Then he heard her first show and there was no way he was giving her up." He held the door open for Heda.

“After you."
