Idling at a red light on the other side of South Boston, Chase glanced over at his passenger in the SUV with barely concealed contempt. He personally had no use for the drug-dealing scum. Part of him enjoyed knowing that the human might have been heading for his own funeral if not for Dante and Chase showing up at his apartment tonight.

It didn’t seem fair, a lowlife like Ben Sullivan getting a lucky break while innocent youths like Camden and the others who were missing ended up dead or worse, lost to Crimson-induced Bloodlust and gone Rogue by the shit this human peddled to them.

Chase weathered a sudden, sickening recollection of Dante putting a blade to Jonas Redmond’s throat in the alley outside the club the other night. That good kid was dead, not because of the warrior but because of the human sitting just an arm’s length away from him now. The urge to reach over and blow him away with a bullet to the head came up on Chase like a tsunami, rage he was unused to feeling in himself.

He stared ahead out the tinted windshield, willing the temptation to pass. Killing Ben Sullivan wasn’t going to solve anything, and it sure wouldn’t bring Camden home any sooner.

And that, after all, was his primary objective.

“He’s sleeping with her, isn’t he—that other guy and Tess?” The human’s voice rattled Chase out of his contemplation, but he didn’t acknowledge the question. Ben Sullivan cursed, his head turned to stare out the passenger-side window. “When I saw them together outside her place last night, the son of a bitch had his hands all over her. What’s that all about—is he just using her to get to me?”

Chase remained silent. He’d been wondering about that revelation since it had first come up at Sullivan’s apartment. Dante had said he’d used his own methods to find the Crimson dealer, and hearing that he’d been with a woman whom Sullivan had apparently been close to, Chase had initially assumed she’d been a means to an end for Dante.

But the warrior’s face had taken on an odd cast at the mention of the female, something that seemed to go beyond simple duty to his mission. Did he care for her?

“Shit. I guess it doesn’t really matter,” Sullivan muttered. “Where are you taking me, anyway?”

Chase didn’t feel compelled to answer. The Order’s compound was just outside the city proper, a short drive northeast from where they were now. In a few hours, after he was interrogated by Dante and the others, Ben Sullivan would be sleeping in a dry, warm bed—a prisoner for all intents and purposes, but nevertheless protected behind the secured gates of the warriors’ headquarters. Meanwhile, dozens of Darkhaven youths were out in the elements topside, exposed to the dangers of the street and the terrible effects of Sullivan’s corrosive, deadly drug.

It wasn’t right, not just at all.

Chase flicked his eyes up at the light as it turned green, but his foot hovered over the gas.
