Ethan kept an arm around Heather as she and Zach recapped her visit with her father and took turns relating what they had found in Nick’s mind.

“Vampires attacked an American military base?” Ethan asked, finding it difficult to believe.

“And killed everyone in it save this Nick fellow,” Zach confirmed.

“How the hell is that possible?”

David frowned. “And how could we not have heard about it?”

“It sure as hell wasn’t on the news,” Chris said. “Nor have any of my contacts said anything about it. An American military base that the sole survivor claims was attacked and destroyed by vampires? My phone should be ringing off the hook. This base—and the attack—must be one hell of a secret.”

Seth’s brow furrowed. “You’ve heard nothing at all from your contacts?”

“Not a peep,” Chris answered.

Heather shifted. “My father said it was all highly classified. If the base is top secret, the military can’t exactly tell the public it was destroyed. Do your contacts have access to classified information?”

“Some classified information. Not all,” Chris said. “Honestly, that’s why I was trying to recruit you.”

Damn it. Ethan wished Chris would let that drop.

Seth wagged his head slowly back and forth. “It had to have been an army of vampires to defeat so many well-trained and well-armed soldiers. Yet no immortals have reported seeing any signs that vampires may be amassing again. Even with the increased numbers we have here in North Carolina, we’ve seen no evidence of an army forming, no signs that they may be organizing. And I would think, if one were to form anywhere, it would be here.”

Ethan agreed. “Other than hunting in larger packs—and they’ve been doing that for years now, thanks to Bastien—the only unusual vampire activity we’ve seen of late is the second attack at Heather’s place. The first fight, in the field, felt random to me even though we suspect it was orchestrated by Gershom. Those vampires didn’t see me coming and sure as hell didn’t expect to run into Heather and her 9mm. The second group of vampires seemed to have no knowledge of the first group. If they were all part of a growing army and the second group was there to avenge the first, I would think they would’ve at least mentioned it.”

Lisette’s brow furrowed. “Where was this military base? It couldn’t have been on any island guarded by an immortal. As soon as the immortal heard the battle and saw what was transpiring, he would have summoned Seth.”

Zach began to pace. “That’s the hell of it. I don’t know. Nick and the other men weren’t told where the base they manned was stationed. Not the name of the island. Not the general location. Hell, not even in what ocean it may be found. It’s all very hush-hush.”

“Was it another Gitmo?” Ethan asked.

Zach shook his head. “I don’t think so. I saw no prisoners or detainees in Nick’s memories. But it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it weren’t some kind of bioweapons research facility, because Nick did see a lot of doctors there.
