Chapter Five

Claudia

I was in so much trouble with Abraham when I got home later.

I knew it was childish to give back what he’d done to me earlier. It just felt so damn good to see him being the one to lose his shit. At least, that was what my drunken mind told me. My victory over it was short lived when pain sliced through my head and a flash of déjà vu kicked in. I had to get out of there quick. Something about what I was doing with him felt familiar, yet I’d never touched Brahm that way. So, why did it feel like we’d done that a hundred times?

I whipped out my phone and dialed Lucy as I slipped on my coat. When I went to walk out, I spotted a small bottle of Bloody Jim Bean and shoved it into my coat to drink on the way. There was no way I was going home until I got some answers. I knew I would need to keep the buzz going if I was going to be able to handle what answers I was given. It felt foreboding thinking of the secrecy behind Brahm’s behavior; like the answers would break me somehow.

If Hollis wouldn’t give me what I wanted out of respect for Abraham, then I was getting them from someone who would face down my maker without hesitation because he wanted to talk to me that badly. And I knew Lucy would tell me anything I needed to know. I’d bet my favorite bag of Rainbow Dash scented glitter that she knew where this other agent lived.

“Claude! How’s it going, babe? I feel like I haven’t talked to you in days!” She answered excitedly. I was glad her vamp-bride from hell persona was on the outs tonight.

“That’s cause you haven’t.” I giggled and began walking along the sidewalk towards home. I stumbled as I stepped to the curb. Stupid curb.

“Oh, well, yeah that would explain it. Anyways, what’s up?” She asked. I could hear Sloan and Vex arguing over something in the background. Seriously? A yo-yo? Those two always fought over stupid stuff. At least, I couldn’t hear Hollis. Maybe luck was shining down on me and he was still at work.

This meant I could be a sneaky vampy and get the info I needed from my bestie. Score for Claudia! I giggled again and high-fived myself, earning a concerned look from another vampire walking by. I just glared at him in return. I’ll high-five myself if I want to!

“I need to ask you a flavor… I mean favor,” I muttered to Lucy. “But you can’t tell your stuffy agent fiancé what I’m asking for. He’ll get angry at the mischief I’m going to cause by asking.”

She laughed at my word stumble. “Hmm. Okay. I’m game for causing mischief behind Hollis’ back. Whatcha need?” She asked without hesitation. I knew I loved her for a reason.

“The agent that you met when Vex took you to that compound.
