Chapter nine

On the good side it wasn't that Felecia was a moron or anything. She'd gotten that Keeley knew both Barb and Zack, and had dealt with them awfully comfortably. In fact, she'd even figured out a reason for that. It was wrong, but fit what made sense to her, so she ran with it, even as they moved back into the club, for questioning.

That was the real plan too. A full on grilling. It was cute. At least to her, since the woman didn't have any real way to do that. She wasn't going to beat Keeley or lock her up, for instance. Instead she was planning to try intimidation.

They moved, alone, since Mark was asked to guard the door, into the back office, which had a solid wooden door on it, making it seem like the kind of place that something illegal might well be going on in.

Then the woman with the strange almost orange brown eyes and bottle red hair turned on her, frowning and showing fang. Her eyes did turn red then, without any whites showing, which worked pretty well, Keels had to give her.

"You're what, one of the New Breed? I had word of you going out today, so you're either ancient, or one of them. You move wrong for that. Unless..." She glared, but the timing was a bit off, and she ended the line by going very still, thinking hard. "How old are you?"

"Sent me? You came to my house. I just live there. I'll admit that I did work you around to going out with me, a bit, but nothing too harsh. Just what you saw me do."

"Um... Sorry?"

Keeley shrugged, since it was going to come out eventually. It was almost always better to do things like that on the terms that you set.

"I live here, in Sparks. This is my territory now. Not that it will interfere too much as far as your business goes, or anything like that. I know Barbara through Zach. I know him, because I'm his Aunt." That was enough information, she thought.

Except that the Vampire was in deep enough denial her eyes moved back to their regular color, ruining the intimidation a lot. Her lips flushed with color too, making them look shining and a bit pink, in the dim fluorescing light. Slightly damp with lip coloring.

For some reason that reminded her of Hally, just for a bit. They didn't look much alike, however.

"His Aunt? I..."

They stood there for a while, and
