Chapter Ten

It took some skillful maneuvering to even get into the car Ian had rented. We might be considered paranoid but we didn’t want to take a chance that Fredrick was having us watched. So Ian drove the car away from the hotel by himself and we all took turns shifting to meet him at a prearranged spot. Of course it was cold and snowing. Beautiful. But I wasn’t sure I’d ever get used to the weather here. I was longing for my mild Texas winters. Flo was in her element wearing a chic black fur coat and matching hat. Her suede boots were the latest style in a black and white pony print. I was in serious boot envy though I had new things from the boutique that she exclaimed over.

“I must go there when this adventure is over, Glory. Your gloves and scarf are so cute.” Flo settled in the back seat between Richard and me. Jerry was riding shotgun in the front while Ian drove.

“Put the address into the GPS, Campbell, and let’s get this going.” Ian was clearly excited. “I didn’t come all the way to Stockholm just to do my doctor thing on you. I want to see this Viking. Examine him and see what a thousand years on ice did to him.”

“You may have some trouble getting him to cooperate with that, Ian.” I leaned forward to talk between the seats. “He was a high-placed Viking, powerful before he was turned vampire. I hope he found his treasure. It would be a shame if he had to start over in this time without money to support him.”

“Glory’s right. Gunnar was a leader. Was in tight with the King of that time. He won’t just let you poke and prod him, MacDonald, like a science experiment. You’ll have to convince him that there’s something in it for him.” Jerry smiled as if he liked the idea of Ian getting some brushback from Gunnar. “But if we save him from Fredrick, he’ll be grateful.”

“There you go. I know quite a bit about physics. If I can do something with that infernal weapon, we can turn it on this rogue vampire and save the day.” Ian chuckled. “What do you think, Mainwaring?”

“I want to see it, examine this weapon. You said your chest hurt after you woke up so I think it must do something to the heart. Could be sound waves, electric shock. Any number of things. But Gloriana wasn’t affected. I wonder why.” Richard turned to look at me like I was under a microscope.

“Beats me. He had to use a drug to put me to sleep.” I grimaced. “Those work on me like they would on any vampire. Puzzle that out.”

“I’ll leave you scientists to analyze this whole thing. The rest of us were incapacitated for hours with our powers shot even after we woke. It was a nightmare.” Jerry smiled at me over his shoulder. “You know why Gloriana is different. Guess that made her immune to Fredrick’s Eliminator somehow.
