Mentor spoke with Dolan of his worries.

"I think Charles Upton's gathering an army."

"Where is he? Let's go get him." Dolan had just finished bathing and now stood at the sink, combing his hair.

Mentor moved down the hall and knew Dolan followed at his back. "I'm not sure yet where he is."

"You don't know?"

"He's . . . I think he was in Europe. Maybe in Australia. All I'm getting are vague impressions. He's being careful. But he's contacting Predators."

"Are they going with him?"

Mentor stood before the dead fireplace, staring into the dark depths. "I think they are. I've spoken to the clans in the major cities overseas. They suspect a Predator is gathering the renegades. Everywhere they're missing, renegades from all over, some in Europe, some in Asia, others in Australia. Charles must have them cloaking their minds. Once they do that, I can't pick up anything else.”

“Should I go there to search him out?"

Mentor thought about it then shook his head. "You won't find him. He would have closed down all the channels."

"Damn!"

"It's all right. He can't stay hidden forever. If he's got a lot of renegade Predators with him, sooner or later one of them will slip up and I'll know where they are."

"He must be pretty good if you can't find him."

Mentor smiled. "You think I'm infallible, don't you? If I were, he wouldn't have gotten away to begin with. No, I'm afraid I fail, just like everyone else."

"Not like anyone else," Dolan said. "You're not like anyone I've ever known."

Mentor sent Dolan on an errand to calm the fears of a new vampire, a Natural, who had come into the vampire life only days before. Dolan had learned how to make his touch calm the ruffled spirit. Over the years he had grown until he was able to handle some of the pressing affairs that took so much of Mentor's time.

With Dolan out of the house, Mentor sent word to Ross to join him. An hour later Ross came through the door. He was agitated. "I had to leave a meeting. How can I run Upton's corporation if I have to keep leaving when you call for me?"

"You have David to handle it for you."

"Who do you think my meeting was with?"

Mentor gave him a dark look and Ross settled down. He took a seat on the sofa. "All right, what's this about Upton and an army?"

"I don't know for sure, but I think he's gathered quite a few to his side."

"Let's go bust him."

Mentor almost laughed. "You've been watching cop movies, haven't you?"

Ross shrugged. "Well? Why don't we? Where is he?”

“I don't know yet."

Ross stood up. "You don't know? You called me from a meeting to tell me you don't know how to find him? Then why am I here?"

"Ross, I've been picking up some communications overseas. Italy, England, and in Australia, too. Sydney. Upton's finding renegades to join him."

"Well, which is it? Which country is he in?"

"I can't pinpoint it. No one knows."

"If you figure out where he is, let me know.
