Chapter Six

“Are the ropes secure?”

The pounding in Mick’s head brought him back to awareness. An awareness that he was in a wooden chair and that jerk-off Will was tying him up—

Screw this. Mick slammed his head into Will’s face. Will screamed. Blood spurted from his nose—looks like that already happened a time or two—and Will fell back. Mick yanked against the ropes and surged to his feet.

Only to find his own gun pointed at him.

“I’m guessing that means the ropes weren’t secure,” the vampire said, shaking his head. “Oh, well, I’m the one with the gun now. So maybe you’ll just stand there like a good mortal and listen to what I have to say.”

“You’re a killer!” Mick snarled.

The guy just shrugged. “Like you never killed in the line of duty? I don’t buy that. I did some checking on you today. You’re quite the decorated officer. Or you were, until too many bullets hit you.” He lifted the gun. “This weapon is so close, I’ve nearly got point-blank range. Isn’t it terrible, the things a bullet can do, when it hits so close?”

Every muscle in Mick’s body locked down.

Will scampered back, moving to stand behind the vampire.

“Since when are you working for him?” Mick demanded. Or maybe the guy had been working for him all along and he just hadn’t realized it.

“S-since I decided I wanted to keep living,” Will threw back at him.

The vampire smiled. It was kind of eerie because the guy…sort of looked like Mick. His face was leaner, his nose sharper, his jaw a little softer, but there was a similarity there.

What is up with that shit?

Their eyes were different. And of course, Mick wasn’t a depraved monster. That was different, too.

“She didn’t tell you, hmmm? That we looked alike?” Now the vampire’s voice was mocking. “My, my, but that should make you wonder…what else has the lovely Savannah forgot to mention to you?”

Mick’s jaw locked. “She didn’t know who you were, so I guess it would be hard for her to say—”

“Savannah knows me well. Intimately well.”

Mick’s left hand fisted. His right wrist was broken—throbbing and burning steadily. He ignored the pain. He’d deal with it after he took care of this bastard. “Savannah knew a vampire was hunting here, not who that vamp was.”

Only the bastard in front of him smiled, showing off the tips of his fangs. “I think she had an idea. A very, very good idea. But she didn’t want to tell you too much. After all, that would mess up her plans.”

“Her plans didn’t involve killing two men.”

The vamp blinked. “Are you really so sure about that?” He raised one eyebrow. “Just how well do you know her?”

“Well enough,” Mick gritted out. He prepared to make a grab for that gun.

“You fool, you already slept with her, didn’t you?”

Mick glared back at him. “I don’t fucking kiss and tell, asshole.”

But the vampire stepped forward. “You didn’t let her bite you, did you?”

Mick’s chin jutted up.

The vampire lunged forward. Mick grabbed the gun from him but the vamp didn’t even seem to notice.
