Piper had disconnected our contact when Jacob arrived to escort her to dinner. I didn’t like her plan, but had to agree it was a smart one. I’d seen that she could protect herself, but even that didn’t put my mind at ease. The nagging concern that she was in danger was unsettling. I hadn’t felt concern for a woman this way since I was human. The feisty private detective was getting under my skin.

She was right about one thing, the council needed to be warned. I headed to my brother’s office and picked up the phone. Before calling the council, I decided to call detective Marshall. He needed to know we’d found the culprit.

“You’re up early, aren’t you?” Marshall’s voice sounded sleepy when he answered the phone after the fourth ring.

I glanced out of the window and saw the sun high in the sky. It was daytime, and I was not sleeping. That was odd. I could wake up in the day in emergency situations, but I wasn’t a day walker. At least I hadn’t been until now. How the hell did that change? I frowned. Something wasn’t right. Now I had another issue to delve into. “I guess I am. Do you have a minute?”

“Sure do.” Marshall seemed to perk up quickly.

“We found the killer, and we’re handling it internally.”

“Who was it?” He asked.

“The girl is a gargoyle. She was infected on a trip to Egypt earlier this year.” I leaned back in my chair and rested my feet on the overcrowded desk.

“Shit, that is horrible. Did she have any clue? I mean, she seemed more like a victim than a cold-blooded killer to me.”

“She is a victim, and so are her victims. The one responsible for killing my brother, and the other vampires, is the one that infected her and left her to fend for herself.” Only the worst of the worst vampires would abandon their children.

“That is twisted.”

“I’ll find him and deal him the justice he deserves,” before he can get his hands on my girl.

“Okay, let me know if you need any human help. For now, I’ll label the case transferred and keep the evidence in the cold case files. We’ll come up with a cover story for the human victims. If you need access to any of the evidence or the files, just give me a call.”

“Thank you.”

“And I’m sorry for your loss, old friend.”

“Yes, Roderick may have been a son-of-a-bitch, but he didn’t deserve this.” I hung up the phone and took a deep breath. “I sure do wish you were here, brother.”

My eyes gravitated to the sun. It had been a long time since I could take minutes to enjoy its beauty. I had always appreciated my gift of psychometry, but there were times I wished I could walk around in the day like Roderick. I guess we all wished we had something we didn’t have.

I walked over to the window and placed my hand on the pane. The warmth spread from the glass to my hand, but there were no nasty side effects.
