The Other prowled, annoyed and restless, through his mind and body as if he were a hollow thing, its pen or den or cage. It made holding the rifle steady a bit more of an adventure than it should have been.

The Other didn't care about human politics, however. It was cold, and bored, and wanted to remedy both, right now. It snarled at him, backing the snarl with angry will.

Kickback took a deep mental breath. SIT, he demanded.
