The Too-Smart Kid — Sue Denver

What good is being a werewolf if you can't beat the crap out of evildoers? The boy was just trying to help his parents out by getting a part-time job. But he went to the wrong man — a man with a fool-proof way of making a fortune, which he will kill to protect. Newbie-werewolf Sara Flores is attracted to lost causes. And she's developing a taste for taking on bullies and abusers. A gang of criminals planning to murder one boy sounds like a good cause for her new skills. But… this time Sara may have bitten off more than she can chew. She needs to save the boy, and his parents, and herself. And even if she can do that, how will she hide the body parts — so she doesn't end up in jail? Come along for the nail-biting ride in this short story — part of the continuing mystery/adventures of the WolfLady.
