aren’t citizens.”
    “I fail to see how that would affect her citizenship,” Kate pushed forward. “Unless of course you are saying that by marrying a hybrid, she gave up her citizenship. If that’s the case, I think it not only in Erica’s best interest to go public with this but the interest of anyone who might go the same path.”
    She turned to look at a stunned Titus.
    “Were you aware this might be a repercussion?” she asked.
    Titus shook his head.
    Kate turned back to the angry congressman. “I tell you what, we’ll consult with our lawyer and have them get back with you on that,” she said. “I imagine the Supreme Court would be very interested, given how that would bypass a lot of established citizenship law. I’m no lawyer though.”
    Woods blanched at her words and took a step back. “That won’t be necessary,” he said. “But don’t think the rest of the country is going to look favorably on this.”
    “You see, that’s where I come in.” She smiled sweetly. “I’m here to make sure the rest of the world sees the true side to these men and their families, despite the archaic views some might have.”
    He stomped off down the hall.
    “Thanks,” Erica said and tossed her arms around Kate.
    She smiled and patted Erica on the back.
    “He had it coming,” she whispered.
     
    Titus nodded to Sol as the two women hugged. “Tell Apollo to bring the car around. We need to get out of here.”
    “It’s him isn’t it?” Sol asked.
    Titus nodded. “He’s here. I think he was trying to get to Kate earlier, but I came around. His scent is faint now, but there’s no telling where he could be.”
    “Kate?” Sol frowned. “Why would he go after her?”
    Titus shrugged. “Maybe just to mess with my head. If you remember, he wasn’t pleased with my progress.”
    Sol nodded and pulled out the phone.
    Titus went to stand beside Kate.
    “It’s time,” he said in her ear. “We need to make the announcement before Woods gets the chance.”
    Kate nodded and ushered her friend to the door.
    “Now remember,” Kate said to the group. “You follow my lead. These are reporters. That means they are going to try and get a reaction out of you.”
    She looked up to him, and he knew she was mainly talking to him. Part of him wanted to bristle at what she had said, but the other part knew that she was likely right.
    “Okay,” she said at the door. He watched as she took a deep breath.
    When they stepped out, lights flashed all around them, and people shouted their names.
    “Please step back and allow some room,” Kate said firmly to the reporters. “As you can see, Mrs. Scott is in a delicate way. We would be happy to answer any questions at the podium that has been set up as soon as she is safely inside the car.”
    Titus saw Apollo pull up to the curb and nodded to Sol. To his amazement, the crowd shifted out of the way and allowed them to safely pass. Once they were in the car, the reporters turned back to Kate.
    One by one he watched as she took on a number of questions. Sometimes answering outright, sometimes deflecting, but always with a smile. This was the first time he had seen her in action like this and was amazed by her talents.
    He watched as she pointed to a man in the back.
    “ ‘And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion.’ Leviticus 18:23,” the man said with a clear voice, and a hush ran through the crowd. Titus watched as her smile fell. “You want to explain to my readers how this doesn’t apply?”
    Titus glared at the man and stepped up next to Kate. He nearly jumped when her hand slipped into his behind the podium. She squeezed him before addressing the man.
    “Gladly,” she said and put on the fakest smile he had ever seen out of her. “The hybrids are technically only genetically modified to take on certain characteristics. Of course we don’t know
