Lord Dracula

“GENEVA DANIEL,” I SAY under my breath, eyes on the screen in front of me back at the hotel. A woman in her early forties, well groomed—probably too much so—wearing white fur and stark red lipstick. Her hair is a dyed shiny black mop.

“Seems the Devil’s Son likes the brunette in more than just business,” Tristan says, scrolling down on his laptop. He’s dug up all kinds of material on Mrs Daniel. He’s found information from old documents archived and classified by the Securitate, to articles in tabloids. We’re using his room for this discussion, ensuring complete privacy just between Rux, Irina, Tristan and me.

“There’s a secret lover she meets once a week, always at night, the same building. When interviewed, Mrs Daniel argued it’s one of her own apartments, where she goes when she needs time alone—away from her husband’s special needs.” He shakes his head, electric blue eyes focused. “I find that hard to believe.”

“Why?” I say. “Rux has her moments, too, I guess it’s a thing of sophisticated women.” I smile at my own brunette, the woman’s who’s infiltrated my very blood and rendered me unable to even imagine existence without her anymore. She used to relish her time alone at Magda’s old bookstore in Bran, too, and I hated it every time she left me to go there. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to grant her even that small amount of freedom again. Now that I pledged my soul to this woman, I need her like air.

“Well, first of all because it’s not some penthouse in a luxurious building. It’s a rat hole in Sector 5,” Tristan says.

My eyes turn to slits.

“Sector 5. Where most of the Red Diaz clubs are.”

“Seems our boy controls the underground, as well as the high life of Bucharest,” Tristan concludes, his sharp features locked. “But he prefers to dwell in the dirty places.”

“We’ll discover his preferences when I get my hands on him,” I say, getting up from the armchair and walking over to Rux. “Until then, let’s stick to Mrs Daniel’s. We need to trail her. Have someone stick around the place where she supposedly meets her lover.”

“We could do that, but know that many have already tried, they stalked her for years,” Tristan says. “Reporters, the police, even special forces, all because they expected she dealt with the most dangerous people of the underworld. It was all for nothing, they never found anything.”

“I’m afraid we’ll have to actually do something to provoke the Devil’s Son,” Irina says from the other side of the room. “We can use this woman to do it. Do we have anything on her past, former lovers, anything about her husband back in her youth?” The question is directed to Tristan.

He clears his throat, his angular features locking in his typical forbidding expression. He even squares his shoulders in the particular way he does when he deals with ‘dirty stuff’, which he considers low and embarrassing to discuss.

“What is it?” Irina
