CHAPTER

11

“I can’t turn my brain to the off position,” Phoebe said from her place on the bed. Freshly showered and in a pair of sweats Mark had brought for her along with some of her other clothes and cosmetics, she’d propped herself up on Sam’s pillow while she waited for vampire sleep in his darkened bedroom.

Sam gave her a drowsy glance from the bench under his window where he’d been sleeping since this had begun and he’d offered up his bed like the gentleman he was. “It isn’t your brain that needs turning off—it’s that pretty mouth,” he said, though his sleepy words were filled with amusement. “But before this vampire sleep-by-comatose assault gets us, you really did a number on that guy on the roof, huh? Way to go.”

She knew how to defend herself—she’d spent a lot of time using her fists before she’d learned her lesson. But it didn’t make how utterly mortified she was any better.

She’d used her vampire powers to take a weak, dying fellow manufactured vampire out. “I’m not too proud of that, Sam. He had to have been weak and desperate at that point, and now he’s dead, too. But we have no idea who he is or why he was at Alice’s. Though, I’d bet he was following the same trail we were. So not only did I beat him up with my fierce from-the-hood skills, he spent the last minutes of his life being launched across a rooftop.”

“You’re right. I’m sorry. And unfortunately, his identity is a question we may not have the answer to anytime soon—or even ever, honey.”

Yet, she couldn’t stop the worry from rolling over her in waves. She’d tried to put together any sort of connect the dots to this madness, and she still wasn’t sure it had to do with patients for the clinical trial. “Do you really think this is the answer? The Alzheimer’s patients? That we were just easy targets for these monsters because no one would care if we dropped off the face of the planet? That if I had been a part of the clinical trial, I would have ended up like Alice?”

Sam’s words were instantly soothing, his tone gentle and sympathetic. “I do. It’s only a hunch, though. I just looked at the common denominators the minute you said you’d been offered the trial. But I don’t think that’s the case, in reference to you dropping off the face of the planet, Phoebe. I think Mark would move heaven and earth if something happened to you. If his clucking over you like a mother hen tonight was any indication of how he feels about you, I wouldn’t put it past him to hunt the bastards down and take them out. In fact, I wouldn’t put it past him to take out Nina, if it meant protecting you. And that’s saying something.”

Phoebe shivered despite the fact that it was only a phantom reaction to the fear that she’d come so close to ending up like Alice Goodwin and that poor, unidentifiable man on the roof.
