Description:
Cat might ave looked more like a one-eyed boulder but that was where the resemblance ended. Cat could read thoughts as well as most human telepaths, knew how to use a teleport booth and as a shapeshifter he was in a class of his own. After being cooped up in the zoo for fifty years he was mean as well.
So when they asked the old Navajo tracker Billy Singer to eliminate an alien assassin, Billy knew at once whom he ought to subcontract the job to. After all, he was the one who'd captured Cat in the first place.
But Cat had his price. Sure, he'd help Billy. All he wanted was to get out of the zoo. But once he'd done what was asked of him, Billy had better start running.
