Ryder: You alright?

Gabby: I’ve been better.

Ryder: Did he hurt you?

There was a long pause before she answered back: I’m okay.

Ryder: Where is he now?

Gabby: I don’t know. He left. I’m betting he’s headed to see Luis about your employment.

Ryder: He knows I was there?

Gabby: Yes. I’m sorry. I told him he’s not to harm you.

Ryder: Don’t worry, ángel.

Gabby: What are you going to do?

Ryder: Talk to him.

The door to the bathroom opened and Grigore reentered the room. “Well?”

“Raúl left. She’s not sure where to, but she thinks her uncle went to talk to Luis about his employing me.” Ryder grimaced. “Looks like I should head over to Salazar’s and see if I can’t straighten this mess out.”

“What if Raúl wants to take you out? He already knows you’re a vampire, he could scent it, so he’ll know how to kill you. What the fuck are you going to tell him?”

“That Spike turned me. Dead men can’t talk.”

“You might want to come up with a good story as to why Spike felt the need.” Grigore started opening the cupboard doors until he found a bottle of Jack. He unscrewed the lid, grabbed a tumbler, and poured a couple of fingers. He downed the fiery liquid in one gulp before pouring himself another. “You want one?”

Ryder snatched the bottle from Grigore and took a healthy swallow.

“You could use some fucking manners.” Grigore rolled his eyes. “There are more clean glasses, you know.”

“It’s my pad. I’ll drink straight out of the bottle if I want.” Ryder set the bottle on the table and had a seat. Grigore took the chair opposite. “The way I have it figured, I’ll tell Raúl that Spike was looking to make me VP and we planned to take over the Devils. That he was having issues with some of them not liking him as pres, which we already know to be true. He turned me so we’d have vampire strength in our favor. When Spike got himself killed, I figured I needed a change of scenery … and I still needed a job.”

“Sounds like a solid story. While you do that”—Grigore pulled out his cell—“I’ll call Hawk and Viper and get their asses down here ASAP. If Raúl sticks around like I think he might, we should be able to get at him. He won’t know what hit him. Maybe with you poking his niece, it will give him more of a reason to stay put for the time being, to make sure you’re on the up-and-up. Especially since he knows a vampire is fucking her. I’m assuming he’ll want to keep a real close eye on you, make sure you aren’t one of the Sons of Sangue vamps.”

“If he checks with the Devils, they still think I’m dead.”

Grigore nodded. “Right. So, tell him you laid low until Spike came across you, making you an offer to be VP. They never got the chance to talk to the Devils before he bit it.”

“Let’s hope the story holds up.
