November 1st, Daytime, Moon Enterprises, Inglewood near UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA

Staring at the ceiling of her cell with her arms behind her head, Red counted to ten as she breathed in and held the deep breath before letting it out.

Her captivity at Moon Enterprises had lasted through the night. Joe Chang hadn’t shown up to release them. The rant at the camera hadn’t done anything besides wake Delilah up. Kristoff’s claim wasn’t much of a tool after all.

Turned out that playing a bad hand over and over didn’t magically make it a good one.

Novak must have been less important than his stock portfolio made him out to be. She had been awake for hours, mulling over her decisions like a montage of bloopers and pratfalls. Quinn had let her know it was daybreak before he fell into a slumber. She tried not to look at either him or Delilah. They had the stillness of corpses. It only made her feel more alone.

Red had let herself cry, rage, and had even fought through a panic attack. Now, there was nothing but silence and stillness. And the uncomfortable press of her bladder. She peeked her head up when the door opened.

Joe Chang walked in with a single look at the vampires before he padded to Red’s cell. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at her but didn’t meet her eyes. “Get up. Bathroom break.”

Standing, Red raised her hands and stepped forward. She waited until the cell door opened and followed him to the bathroom in the hallway. With the door cracked, she used the toilet before splashing water on her face.

Staring at her reflection, she wondered when she would see it again. She wiped the old foundation and blush off her cheeks and forehead then pulled off the dirty bandage. Delilah’s nail marks on her neck had darkened even more, giving her a grisly looking necklace of bruises and scabs. Her stomach rumbled. She brought a handful of water to her dry mouth.

Chang opened the bathroom door, gun barrel raised at her face. “You’re done. Come.”

Even after having guns pulled on her all night, goosebumps rose on her skin. Red nodded, mouth dry again. “What time is it?”

“What part of piping down confused you, hunter?” He took her back into the cell room. He frowned and paused; shoulders slumped.

“Working early then? Or late?”

He grunted, shoving her back in the cell then glanced at the camera.

“You’re looking tired. Have you been on guard duty this whole time, listening in?” She held onto hope that something she had said might have reached him. Quinn had dropped enough bombshells last night that it had to have created some doubt in the officer’s mind.

“It’s a job.”

“The part where Cora was supposed to see me. When is that happening?” She watched the subtle play of emotion on the undead cop’s face. Chang tried to hide it, but the worry was back. “You floated this up the hierarchy and got radio silence.”

He tensed. “She is a busy woman.
