I needed answers, and TV game shows had taught me exactly what to do in such situations—phone a friend. The problem was, I didn’t think it was such a hot idea to call Marcy on a Fed-supplied phone to ask my questions. For all I knew, calls were recorded for quality assurance. Besides, Sid and Maya hadn’t let me put her on speed dial, since the plan had been for me to get caught and for her to stay hidden. That meant my only option was to play telephone … with Bobby as the phone.

We got into the car with the doors firmly shut and locked around us, and I turned to him. “Bobby, ring up Marcy, would you?”

“Ring her up?”

“You know, do that voodoo you do so well. Give her a shout-out.”

“O-kay. The point being?” he asked.

“She works with Brent. He’s one of them. A Fed. Maybe she knows something or can find out. Maybe he talks in his sleep or has a map to some super-secret government facility tattooed on his ass. I don’t know.”

“You want her to check out his butt?”

“Honey, if I know Marcy, she already has.”

His mouth opened and closed for a second like a landed fish. You’d have thought he’d be used to me by now. I was glad I could still surprise him.

“Whatever,” he said finally. “But I don’t want details.”

I rolled my eyes. “Fine.”

“Drive,” Bobby ordered.

“I want to give the call my full focus.”

“We’re sitting ducks here. I’d rather be on the move.”

He had a point. “Okay then, where to?” I asked.

“Back to HQ, but look for tails and make sure not to take a direct route.”

“But the vamps can find me anywhere, any time they want.”

“They’re not the only ones we’re worried about.”

True enough. I told him what Selene had said about Alistaire as I put the car into gear and pulled out of the space I’d backed into for a quick getaway. I hadn’t really thought beyond relief that the psycho-psychic hadn’t darkened my door since our last case, but now that I thought about things, it was out of character for him not to turn up again like a bad penny. Sure, vampires could be killed … just like humans, only different. But Alistaire was something infinitely scarier.

“And you think this means—what?” Bobby asked.

I stared at him until he grabbed the steering wheel to yank us back into our lane, then I switched over to words.

“She said it like something had happened to Alistaire and that the Feds were responsible.”

“This is Alistaire we’re talking about. Do you really think the spooks can out-boogey the boogeyman?”

“I don’t know,” I said, “but I mean to find out. I told you all along that something was off. This just confirms it.”

It was Bobby’s turn to stare. “It doesn’t confirm anything. You’re not saying the vamps are suddenly reliable sources of information now?”

I shot him a look. Just quickly this time, because I was in no mood to die. “Careful, we’re vamps.”

“You know what I mean.
