Chapter 10

“Hello, Z. I am Eve,” the beautiful vampire said as soon as she opened the door to our hotel room.

“How did you know my name?” the blonde hacker asked suspiciously.

“I know things. Please come in. I am happy Adam has brought you.”

“Yeah. I’m not. Well, I’m glad to be alive, but my-- shit! Is that live?” Z asked as she pointed to the video screen on the other side of the hotel room. It was a newsfeed, and it had all three of our pictures displayed on the screen. There were no names under the images, but a video feed from the mall suddenly began to play, and it showed us running from the armed men. It didn’t show what happened in the back hallways, and I wondered if there weren’t cameras back there.

“Yes. It just began to play. I’m happy you both made it here in time. We will have to be careful leaving the hotel now.”

“We? Listen, I don’t want any part of whatever terrorist bullshit you two have planned. My life was totally fine before I started working for you, and now it’s fucked from both sides.”

“You caused the mess. You said you could get into Elaka Nota’s databases without a trace. You didn’t, and now you’ve compromised our plan to escape,” I told the hacker with a sigh. “You are stuck with us now, if you want to live, that is.”

“I didn’t fuck up, though. I don’t mess up. I’m the best--” the blonde woman began, but Eve interrupted her with a small wave of her hand.

“No. You didn’t make a mistake. I think you know what happened,” the raven-haired woman said as she crossed her arms.

“What the fuck do you mean? I don’t know what--”

“You can try to lie, but you have a suspicion. The more you try to fight it, the more you are convinced that it is true. Why don’t you check? There is a terminal over there.” Eve pointed to the far side of the room where there was a computer port.

“I’ve got my own rig. I don’t need to use that one. Eww. Fine. I’ll look into it. Don’t you two freaks try anything while I am distracted. I know how to fight.”

“We won’t.” Eve smiled at the tattooed woman and then gestured for her to sit on the far side of the room.

Z gave Eve a glare, and then she moved to the chair. Half a minute later she had pushed the cord into the hole on her head, and she was sitting slouched in the seat with her eyes closed.

“I like her,” Eve whispered in my ear. “I am glad you brought her over. She has some anger issues, but she is honest, caring, and honorable.”

“I know about anger,” I said with a smirk. “What do you know of how they found us?”

“She wasn’t lying. She didn’t get traced. Or at least, she is very sure she didn’t. However, she isn’t so sure about the faithfulness of her now dead boyfriend.
