Meaning Michelle hadn’t been that important to him for him to learn even the little facts about her upbringing. Men. She sighed. Vampires. It seemed they were all alike. “Here’s a question for you.

Michelle’s dad has been dead for years, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then if he sold out to a demon, the contract would have dissolved with his death.”

“Yeah, I get that. But how do you explain what she told me?”

“Coincidence.” She shrugged and took another gulp of coffee, feeling the caffeine start to kick in.

Another ten cups of this stuff and she’d be good to go. “That’s all I can offer you right now. Unless you think Michelle is the one who made the deal.”

Wil stood up and stretched before removing his tie and unbuttoning the first couple buttons of his navy blue dress shirt. “I doubt it. She thought her mother was nuts for even saying anything about the devil.”

She closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. She didn’t know if there was any truth to Wil’s theory about Michelle and her father, but she knew how to find out. She just had to get rid of a well-meaning but controlling vampire first. “You look tired. Maybe you should go to bed.”

“I’m going. I just wanted to run all this by you first.”

“I’m glad you did, but I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Goodnight,” she added as he left the kitchen. She heard his footsteps on the stairs a few seconds later and silently cursed him for not bothering to do the dishes. Men, no matter what their race, were all the same. She supposed she’d have to do them, but it would have to wait until later. She had her first semi-decent lead since arriving in Caswell, and she had no plans to let it slip away.

When she heard Wil’s door close she crept up the stairs and peeked into her bedroom. Royce lay flat on his back, his eyes closed and his lips slightly parted. Her fingers itched to trace the line of stubble along his jaw, her mouth ached to kiss his warm lips, his broad chest, his washboard abs, his—

“Stop it!” she whispered to herself. If she went any lower with her imaginary kisses, she’d never get her job done. Assured that he slept soundly, she walked into his room and rummaged through his black duffel bag until she found his car keys. He thought he could hide them from her. She would have laughed out loud at the idea if she hadn’t been afraid to wake up the bloodsuckers.

She picked up a navy blue zip front sweatshirt out of the bag and put it on, hoping it would help ward off some of the chill she knew she’d feel from the evil presence where the murders occurred. Five minutes later, she pulled Royce’s car out of the driveway and headed toward town.

She cranked up the radio and opened the windows, letting the warm breeze whip through her hair.
