I went straight from the bar to Zen’s shop. Turned out Brooks had plenty to say about this Reverend guy. “I’ve seen him around the Quarter. Everyone knows he’s bad news. Got a gang of vamp goons to watch his back.”

I sat back in a chair in Zen’s living room. “Damascus said he’s a dealer.”

Brooks’s eyes darkened. “Kind of. He’s more of a pimp, you ask me.”

Zen frowned. “Prostitution?”

Brooks shook his head. “He hooks vampires up with drug addicts.”

“Shit,” I said. “Blood junkies are the worst.”

Adam and Giguhl walked in then. I’d called them on the way over and asked them to join me so we could come up with a plan. Adam got one look at my face and obviously realized I had bad news.

“Tell me.”

“She’s taken up with a group of blood junkies.”

Adam’s face went pale. “Shit.”

“Blood junky?” Giguhl asked.

“Vampires who gets off on drinking blood from drug addicts,” I explained. “They get their blood and their drug fix in one.”

“And since Cadence is a mage, they’d get a third high from her magic,” Giguhl concluded.

“Where is she?” Adam demanded.

I told them what I knew about the house where Damascus had attended the party. Brooks nodded. “I think I know the place.” Judging from his tone, we weren’t headed to the Four Seasons.

“You guys stay here and I’ll go check it out.”

Adam cleared his throat and crossed his arms. “Like hell.”

“It’s not safe, Sabina,” Brooks said. “Those vamps she’s hanging with? They’re ruthless.”

I opened my mouth to respond, but Adam spoke up. He looked more pissed off than I’d seen him in a long time. “We’ll show them ruthless.”
