the panda shifter with new respect. She was wilder than he thought. “I beg to differ.”
    Carly clucked her tongue and ignored him. “Well then, I have good news. There’s a job available at the bail bond agency; you can come and work with us!”
    Ling blinked at her for a few seconds. “Umm, that’s a really nice offer but…”
    Carly let out an irritated grunt. “Nice nothing, we need someone, and you need a job – it’s perfect!”
    Ling screwed up her face. Yes, she did need a job, and she doubted she actually would get a very good recommendation from Myron. Not now, anyway . But, and she didn’t really like to admit this to Carly, working in a bail bond agency just seemed so… low-brow. A few weeks ago, she was a secretary to a rising executive at a multi-million dollar company. The idea of going from that to being an office girl at a company where they dealt with people, who were arrested for public urination, was just depressing. Surely, she was better than that. Carly, however, for some unfathomable reason to Ling, adored working there.
    Carly jumped up and down on the bed a few times. “Come on, it’ll be fun.”
    Not for the first time, Ling realized they had different ideas about fun. Up until Carly met Jackson, she had been kind of shy, and Ling was the adventurous one. But now, Carly was turning pretty wild. Ling would consider a meal in a fancy restaurant a fun date. Carly would consider an evening chasing down a runaway bounty a fun date. Ling wondered if she would also have a personality transplant if she ever met her true mate.
    Ling chewed her lip. “I just can’t see me dealing with people who have been arrested.”
    “Well, you won’t have to… well, not much anyway. It’s not like you’ll be out catching them; you’ll be in the office, filing things and answering the phone and, hey, wait a minute! I’ve been arrested before, and so have you!”
    Ling let out a sigh. “Yes, but we were innocent.”
    Carly frowned. “You weren’t innocent when you ripped up those twenty-six parking tickets, and are you saying you didn’t know that was marijuana in your purse?”
    Jackson snickered, and Ling scowled at him. "First of all, I ripped up those tickets in protest, that parking lot was supposed to be free for anyone to use. And secondly, I didn’t know my asshat boyfriend had put that marijuana in my purse. He just put it in there because his pants didn't have pockets.” Needless to say, they broke up after that . “Look, I just think I should look for another job like my old one.” She was trying to be diplomatic; it was better than saying she didn’t want to work in a flea-bitten bail bond agency.
    Carly, in turn, tried her hand at being diplomatic. “Do you think it’s likely you’ll get another job like that without a letter of recommendation from My… from your previous employer?”
    Her panda whined uneasily. There was that .
    “You don’t need that at the bail bond agency,” continued Carly, snagging another toaster pastry. “We’ll take anyone - we’re desperate.”
    Ling clutched a pillow to her. “Gee, thanks, that really makes me feel wanted.”
    Carly waved a hand dismissively. “You know what I mean. I know it’ll be a wage cut, but at least it’s a job. Plus, we can gossip, and go out to lunch together. It’ll be fun.”
    Ling’s animal perked up a little; that last part did sound nice. Since Carly bonded with the wolf, she had barely seen her best friend.
    Carly was gratified that Ling was warming to the idea. “Besides, who knows? You might just meet a handsome bounty hunter; I was very pleased with mine.”
    Carly winked at Jackson who returned it with a very lascivious growl.
    “How handsome?” enquired Ling demurely.
    Carly giggled. “Well, there’s a really enormous bear shifter and a super sexy tiger shifter…”
    Jackson snarled furiously, and Carly ran over and jumped into his lap. “Not as sexy as the wolf shifter, of course, but he’s
