Chapter 13

As he normally did when he wanted to push something from his mind, Campbell focused his energies on work. It didn’t totally keep his argument with Olivia from his mind, but at least he had something to do besides pace the Bat Cave like a caged panther.

He and the rest of the team spent the night scouring nearly all of the six-block radius to which Travis had traced Rico’s phone call, both inside and out. Not surprisingly, no one seemed to have seen anything. Chances were one of the people standing in line for one of the trendy vampire clubs had seen Rico, but they knew what the Nefari did to vamps who were a little too loose with information. Rico was proof enough of that.

He spotted Kaja and Travis going into yet another club across the street and Billy keeping watch from a nearby rooftop, gun and stakes at the ready. Campbell and Colin stepped to the front of the line at Universal Donor.

“The names of these places get more stupid every time I come down here,” Campbell said as they approached the beefy bouncer.

“Hey, stop cutting!” someone yelled from somewhere back in the line that stretched to the end of the block.

“Pig!” Yeah, that one never got old.

The bouncer pointed behind Campbell and Colin. “Back of the line.”

Campbell wasn’t in the mood for attitude. He stepped into the guy’s personal space. “You want to try that again?”

Colin stepped up beside them. “Official V Force business.”

The guy didn’t look happy, but he nodded toward the inside of the club. When they stepped through the entrance, it was almost comical how many pairs of eyes looked in their direction, narrowed then went back to whatever had held their attention before. Campbell scanned the interior. As expected, there were lots of reds and blacks, and the walls were frosted glass lit from behind. Red liquid had been made to look as though blood ran in a constant stream behind the glass.

“You’d think one of these places would try something a little out of the box. You know, bright colors or something,” Colin said.

“At the moment, I don’t give a flying rat’s ass about the decor. I’m more in the mood to knock heads until someone talks about Rico, about the abductions, something.”

Colin nodded, linked his fingers and popped them. “I can do that.”

Movement at the back of the club caught Campbell’s attention. His gaze landed on a familiar face just before the guy darted into the crowd. Campbell smiled.

“I think we’re about to get some answers. That little weasel Charlie Benson doesn’t look as if he wants to talk to me.” Charlie was the type of vampire who would do anything for a buck, or a pint. He had expensive tastes, ones that a legal job wasn’t likely to fund. If bad crap was going down in the vampire community, chances were Charlie had at least heard about it.

Campbell ignored the yelps and objections as he pushed his way through the crowd.
