CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

I can't get the events of that dinner out of my head.

Silvia doesn't believe me when I tell her what happened, and about that, but it doesn't matter. There is another side to Jeremy and not all the vampires are evil monsters. And if Jeremy is, well, he's doing an amazing job of hiding it. Maybe he's an evil monster pretending to be a normal dude who's pretending to be an evil monster? But the more I think about that, the less likely it seems. If Jeremy wanted to trap me and kill me, he would have done so at our dinner. No one will stop the First Son from taking what he wants, so long as it's out of the public eye.

My brain hurts, but at least I have something I didn't have before: hope. With Jeremy's help, Silvia and I just might make it out of here.

Stay alive first.

And keep Mike alive, too.

“Okay. So maybe I believe you,” Silvia says as we walk into the Senate building a few nights later. “It's just insane. He's the First Son. He sees the President every day, probably.”

“I know it is.” Can my life get crazier?

We head upstairs, and I see Jeremy nowhere as we head up, which is unusual, because he usually stands at the door, near the guards, and taunts me and Silvia when we walk in. But we find him upstairs in our meeting room of the day, deep in conversation with Beatrice, Wendy, Asha, and William.

“What’s that stench?” Beatrice asks, holding up her nose and raising her voice.

I don't look right at Jeremy, though I want to. I hurry past the vampires to our table, where Victor is already sitting. Jeremy snorts and says something in a low voice, probably an insult, and I slam my binder down on the table.

“Hey. Just ignore them,” Victor says as Silvia and I sit.

“They do this all the time,” I say. So far, he's been cool-headed, which might be a bad thing as the vampires prefer their future children to be bold. “Tell them to knock it off.” I drill my gaze into Victor so hard that he goes to push his chair back. I can't even tell him I'm trying to save his life.

“Um, knock it off?” Victor asks the vamps.

Colleen and Ariana walk into the big meeting room beside Becky, who has a laptop bag clutched to her chest. “Okay, team,” she begins, silencing everyone in the room. “Everyone please gather at the middle table. We have eight staffers coming in tonight to hear us out, and we have a mixed bag of Heart and Spade. This is a chance to get our concerns to multiple lawmakers at once. Remember, every vote will count when it comes to passing or stopping the Act.”

Staffers. That's not as intimidating as some people we've faced, and it turns out that half of the staff members are human. One of them is Goodman's assistant, who still has pink bite marks on her neck.
