"What are we doing at midnight, in the middle of a common, when it's freezing?" Ros muttered. As if the emphasis the cold she pulled her hat further down over her ears and her scarf closer round her neck.
"Sorry," Adam replied. "But a couple will attract less attention that a solitary man. The last thing I wanted was for someone to phone the police and report a strange man loitering out here."
"Okay, I understand that. But why do you need to be out here? It's not the most pleasant of nights."
"A couple of dogs in our neighbourhood had apparently decided to give a half-hearted attempt at howling at the moon, and someone wanted to demonstrate how it should be done. I ended up dragging him indoors and bundling him into the car, with the promise that we'd go somewhere where he could howl safely."
"He seems very quiet at the moment."
"It won't last. He's been exploring all the scents before he starts. Look, there he is!"
They watched as the werewolf sat down in the centre of a small clearing, the moon shining fully on him, lifted his head and gave a loud howl, followed by two more. Then, satisfied with his performance he trotted over to join Adam and Ros.
"I suppose you want your burger now?" Adam said.
The werewolf nodded.
"Yes, I had to promise him a burger as well," Adam explained to Ros.
