She’s found out that I do business with Edward Barron, who just happens to be Clar’s stepfather. I’m sure that neither of them know the connection yet, but they will sooner or later.” Stephen sat down. “I’ve got a call into Barron now. I’m going to quit him as soon as possible, but I doubt it will do me much good. She’s figured it out, and soon she’ll find out about my mate.”
“ This Barron person, does he know that you are with Clar?” Stephen shrugged, then shook his head at her. Kennedy knew what he meant. He wasn’t sure. “We’ll have to find her, Clar I mean, before these people do.”
“ Yeah? You make it sound as if you might just pick up the phone and call her. I don’t believe she’d answer even if she had a cell phone.” They all looked up when Butler walked in the room. He looked confused.
“ My lord, there is an officer at the door. He says that you are needed downtown. That he believes that your offices have been destroyed.” Samuel stood up, but Butler shook his head. “I’m sorry, my lord, I meant Lord Silva.”
~~~
Destroyed didn’t even begin to cover the damage done to his offices. Stephen thought he’d be better off simply moving rather than trying to get someone to come in and repair this place. He picked up what was left of his computer and dropped it on the growing pile of things the police had asked him to go through. Why they needed to know if anything was missing was beyond him. Wasn’t the damage here enough for them to go out and find out who did it?
“ This December person, did she do this?” Stephen nodded at Samuel, who had come with him. “She’s really pissed off at you.”
“ You think?” Stephen went to the large opening that had once held a window. Now it was letting in the cold air. Looking down at the lot below, he could see that someone had thrown his desk down there to no doubt bust the glass. “She wasn’t alone. Another vampire was with her, and he did most of the heavier work. But the blood here is a human.”
She’d written him a message in human blood. And from the looks of it, it might have killed the person too. Stephen looked at the message again.
I found you. And now that I have, I will stop at nothing to get you back between my legs, fucking me for all of eternity.
“ She’s very poetic.” Stephen looked at the man speaking and nodded. The police officer had been the one who had met him downstairs when they’d arrived. “I don’t suppose you will tell me who she is? And why she is so pissed at you? Did you leave her hanging?”
The man was kidding, of course, but Stephen felt his beast rise. The smell of blood notwithstanding, he was pissed too. Walking away, he let Samuel deal with the officer. He went to the bathroom that had curiously not been touched, walked in, and shut the door. Reaching again for Clar, he nearly cried out when he was able to contact her.
You should know that someone is hanging around my stepfather’s house that knows you. She and he are having a wonderful time of it, I think. He could hear her sarcasm. Before he could ask her if she was all right, she continued. When she first arrived, he had locked her out, but that did him little good. She just busted in the door and screamed at him. After a bit, she got in. I’m guessing she had to be invited.
She did. She’s looking for me, I would imagine. You’re not safe there, or anywhere, for that matter. You should go back to my house.
No. I’m only allowing you to contact me because I think you should know that this woman is going to use Edward to kill you. Not that I really give a shit what happens to you, but I like Summer, and she loves you. He didn’t ask her how she knew that, but she continued anyway, and he never got the chance. I came by the house to see if I could get some cash. I’m going to be leaving the area soon, so you don’t have to worry about us accidently bumping into each other again.
I’m sorry. He started to say
