Chapter Twenty-Five: Up and Away

Dorian woke me five or six hours later. It was around two in the morning, but I felt surprisingly rejuvenated after the rest. Even though the bed wasn’t great, it was a lot better than the one in my holding cell, and hearing the faint hum from the television had actually helped me sleep better.

Background noise, don’t leave home without it.

“I’m going to go soon.” She stood from the bed and put her jacket on. The room was cold; the window air conditioning unit was working pretty well now.

“Okay, let me get ready real quick.” I was in my new underwear as well, having changed into it after taking a quick shower. I liked to go to bed clean, so when I’d lain down earlier I figured I’d better scrub a dub a little bit before I actually dozed off.

She raised an eyebrow at me. “I wasn’t aware you were going.”

“Why wouldn’t I be going?”

“What exactly are you going to bring to the table here?” Dorian asked as she fixed her hair. She checked to make sure her paintbrush was with her and put it in her front pocket.

“You need a holster for that thing,” I told her.

“A paintbrush holster?” She considered it for a moment. “That could be handy. But stop changing the subject.”

“I can be more helpful than it seems,” I told her. “But, to be honest with you, I figured Veronique may need to feed. If anything, I am food to her.”

“What if we run into people?”

“I thought you were just going to appear in her room, grab her, and go.”

“That was the plan, yes.”

“Then I’ll go with you, and she’ll probably need to be fed, and she can drain me some. I’ve been useful in that way before, when we first rescued her.”

“You’re going as food?” she asked skeptically. Damn, if Dorian wasn’t hot in her ribbed sweater and tight black pants, which were low cut and revealed a sliver of her midriff when she moved her hips.

It was an incredibly stupid outfit to wear when trying to rescue someone from a military facility, says the guy who was currently wearing an Austin Ice Bats shirt.

“Yep, I’m the food.”

“Why do I get the feeling this is a bad idea?” She placed her hands on her hips and cocked her head at me.

“It probably is a bad idea, but I was under the impression I would be going with you, and … Well, it’s totally your call, but I think I could be useful. I don’t know how, exactly, but … well … Yeah, I already told you how I thought I could be useful. Especially if we run into any issues. Having Veronique with some power is always helpful because she’ll probably be exhausted.”

“Don’t make me regret this,” she said and reached out to touch my arm.

“Wait! I’m not ready yet – I still don’t have pants on.”

She started to laugh. “I was hoping we could surprise Veronique.”

“She wouldn’t be surprised to see me in my undies.
