CHAPTER FOURTEEN

ROXY SPENT THE next few weeks wandering around the field office talking to various people, but so far, she hadn’t met anyone who triggered anything weird with her intuition. Santiago had been working a lot, trying to keep up with the demands of running both the region and field offices. Neither of them was any closer to figuring out the traitor’s identity. She was beginning to wonder if there even was a traitor.

As she waited for one of the elevators to open in the foyer, a Benny Goodman song played quietly over the speakers and she tapped her foot to the beat. Ever since learning swing from a navy guy she casually dated years ago, she’d loved the big-band era. Too bad no one danced like that anymore.

“Oh, good, you’re heading out.”

She turned to see Arianna coming around the corner. Brenna had first introduced the two of them up at region HQ shortly before the explosion that changed everything. With a messenger bag slung across her shoulder, she twisted her chestnut hair and tucked it under her scarf.

“Yeah, thought I’d better find something to wear to the awards gala before it’s too late.”

“Can I ask you a big favor then? I need an escort out of the building.”

Was this standard operating procedure in Seattle? “An escort?”

“Yeah. Santiago’s orders. He’s got the whole place on lockdown after what happened. Any humans in the field office must go out with an escort to make sure Darkbloods don’t see or follow them.”

“But it’s cloaked.” She’d been through the energy field a number of times since arriving here and it had never been down.

“The escort thing is an added precaution since humans can’t scent Darkbloods like the rest of you can.”

“In that case, of course.”

She couldn’t help but wonder if Arianna and Jackson had plans for her to become a changeling, thus solving that problem, but thought it’d be rude to ask. Besides being somewhat risky, turning one’s mate into a vampire was a very personal decision and one that wasn’t taken lightly. It’d be like asking a childless couple if they were going to have a baby.

Then she got an idea. “So, where are you headed?”

“I’m interviewing someone for my blog and after that, when rush hour’s over, I’m heading back up to the safehouse.”

The elevator dinged and the doors opened.

“Paranormalish, right?”

Arianna gave her a wary look as they stepped inside before pressing a button on the panel. “Santiago told you about my blog? What did he say?”

The big-band music was playing inside the elevator, too, and Roxy leaned against the railing. “He said it got Jackson into a lot of hot water but that he’s impressed with what you’ve been able to uncover about Darkblood activity. Said it’s been an instrumental tool in helping Guardians identify acts of violence by Darkbloods that previously would’ve gone unnoticed by the agency. He said you’ve got your finger on the pulse of the community and that you often hear about things before they do.”
