She barked a laugh and then asked. “How’s it going with Mr. DuFort?” Lisa changed the subject, and Theo wished she hadn’t. “Is he an ancient vampire intent on making you his sire?” She laughed.

“No, not yet. I guess I’m not sire material.” He struggled with their usual banter as just the mention of Bastian’s name filled him with need and left him hard and uncomfortable.

“I met with DuCane and his people today, but nothing really came of it. They have no idea why the author of the complaint, presumably Arlo Korbin, would make such outlandish claims, and there isn’t anything I can find to support any of it.” He laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

“The investigation was a bit sloppy in places but nothing blatantly criminal or out of the ordinary for a rural Sheriff’s office. Yes, there are missing persons, but as was eloquently pointed out to me, no more than the average small town in America. There is nothing here that I can get ahold of that would warrant that I drag this out much longer.” Theo knew this to be true regardless of the nagging of his intuition that something was wrong, there was nothing solid, tangible that he could report to his superiors.

“So, you’re going to write this up and be home by the weekend?” Lisa probed, making sure she didn’t have to hop a plane to Mt. Pleasant.

“Yes, I believe so unless something comes to light in the next couple of days. You’re off the hook, my girl. Relax and have a drink on me.” He chuckled when she shouted, thank heavens. “Did you find anything on Korbin or any of the other principles?”

“Nothing that doesn’t fit right in with the information you already have. Oh, hey, by the way, what was it like at the DuCane compound. You have to tell me, was it amazing, out of this world, worthy of a centuries-old Master Vampire myth?” She pressed for details.

“It was nothing more than your average country estate, not anything you haven’t seen before. The garden was nicely kept, and there was plenty of parking but nothing remarkable and no points of amazement.” He wasn’t sure why he was lying to Lisa about the Palace, but something left him feeling an urgency to keep the secret, for now anyway.

“All myth and no substance.” Lisa sounded so disappointed.

“Pretty much, but isn’t that usually the case.”

“Yes, but there was so much mystery and secrecy around DuCane that I was hoping for something worthy of the hype,” Lisa added.

“Sorry to disappoint you.” Theo sat up.

“I’ll let them know that your report will be submitted by end of day, Friday.” Lisa returned to a more serious attitude. “See you Saturday, Theo. I’ll buy you a drink, and you can regale me with your adventures.”

“See you Saturday.” With that, he closed the call and slid his phone back into his pocket. He sat on the edge of the bed and let his mind wander, and instantly, he was hot and hard again.
