I walked up next to Mason and stared off into the distance with him. The property reminded me of where my parents’ house stood. Quiet, peaceful, no neighbors for at least a couple city blocks. “What are you looking at?”

He motioned to the ground and then forward. “You tell me.”

I didn’t always appreciate when he didn’t give me a direct answer, but it was his way of allowing me to form my own opinion. I looked down at where we were standing. “Foot steps.” I continued to track the deep seeded heel prints, spread over different distances and strides. “Lots of footprints.”

He nodded. “So tell me, our people haven’t been out this far in droves. Jason’s people have their range. PIB didn’t send a horde of agents. So what was out here?” He glanced at me. “You and Nick came out last night, according to the night guard.”

I nodded. “We did, Nick and I both couldn’t sleep, so after a cup of coffee we decided to come check out the scene at night.”

“Why?”

“Vampire related case. It made sense. Do you want to know what we saw out here last night, or you just going to keep asking me questions?” I bent down and touched one of the prints. Deep, round, and looked like the back of a tennis shoe based on the slanted threads.

Mason grunted and I took it as a yes.

“We saw a line of vampires. We assumed blood-starved because of how jerky their movements were.” I shook my head. “We didn’t get close enough to see how many, or to confirm they were blood starved.”

He snorted. “You and Nick didn’t want to cause a fire fight.”

“One we would have lost, more specifically.” I nodded. “Care to take a walk, Detective? Maybe we can figure out where they went come daylight.”

“And what are we going to do when we find them?” He raised a brow. “Two of us against a horde of blood-starved?”

I touched the butt of my gun. “If we’re lucky, they’ll all be sleeping, but maybe we can find out who is behind creating them.”

“Abby, how do you expect to do that?” He sounded exasperated, as if I was expecting the impossible.

I took a deep breath. “Chances are he’ll be strong enough to be awake during the day.”

“Which means what?”

“We’re dealing with someone about as powerful as Levi.” I didn’t want to admit it out loud and part of me knew that I had been avoiding that thought. I didn’t know how powerful Mario was, because I hadn’t seen him in action, but I knew I’d be visiting Levi tonight. Or at the very least calling him.

Mason followed me. “Has the thought of back up occurred to you?”

“Nope, not really.” I didn’t look behind me. “I’m beyond waiting for other people and things to fall into place right now.”

He said nothing as we followed the steps. I stopped on occasion and checked the depth of the prints and direction. Last time I was on a hike like this I had a broken rib and I was following magic.
