Chapter Nine

I wasn’t surprised when I saw the lights on in my house, along with Charlie’s red van in the driveway. It didn’t really bother me that Charlie and Luke were making a habit of invading my home, but I sure did wish I’d get some kind of warning prior to their visits.

As soon as I was through the door, Charlie was all over me.

“What have you found out?”

Shrugging, I told him, “Not a lot … except that Marcus Savoy isn’t involved with the Rush … or the murders.”

“How do you know that?”

“I just do.”

Luke rolled his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’ve let yourself become one of his groupies, and now have it in your head that Savoy can do no wrong?”

I was annoyed, mainly because there was a seed of truth to his words. Of course there was no way I was going to admit it, especially to him. “Really Luke … I have no intention of becoming another of Mr. Savoy’s victims.”

“Hmm … if you say so,” he muttered.

It seemed like a good time to change the subject, so I did. “I was attacked in Crimson’s parking lot by two men wearing skull masks. They tried to drain my blood, but Marcus intervened.”

“I’ll just bet he did,” Luke put in.

Charlie threw him a dirty look. “Are you jealous?” he asked.

Before Luke could answer, my uncle turned back to me. “How much did they get?”

“I don’t know, but I started blacking out, and would have probably died, if Marcus hadn’t given me his blood.”

Luke looked up sharply. “You let him give you his blood?”

“Well yeah! I might have died if he didn’t. I was just lucky he heard me scream, or it would be my body they’d have found next.”

“That’s bad luck for you. Now he has a connection with you that will always be there,” Luke told me, shaking his head. “Not good at all. He’ll always be able to feel your emotions, and now he’ll know where you are … no matter how far away.”

The idea of having that type of connection with Marcus was a little scary, but it could be okay at other times, like if those blood drainers decided to pay me another visit.

“I guess worse things can happen,” I threw the words over my shoulder as I made my way to the kitchen. The counter was cluttered with empty beer bottles, the physical evidence of one of Charlie’s vices.

“Hey Charlie! Do you think you might be able to toss your bottles in the trash when you’re done with them?”

Before I could get the last word out, Uncle Charlie was already picking up the bottles. “Sorry. Too used to being a bachelor I guess.”

I opened my mouth to voice my opinion about his perpetual bachelorhood, but was interrupted by a loud knock at the door. I heard Uncle Basile grumbling long before I made it back into the living room.

“Charlie! You no good rascal! Get your dumb ass in here and explain yourself.” Basile hollered.
