Cordelia

When I awoke from the dream, my heart hurt at the realization I was all alone and Rook and Cross were somewhere else, but I felt energized by the boost given to me by Rook. At the same time, my body ached from one of the most amazing sexual encounters I’d ever experienced. Rook may have not been able to transfer as much energy as he’d hoped, but what he had managed to give to me was definitely working. Finally awake and alert, death’s door felt a few extra miles away than it had whenever I'd passed out.

I got up and used the restroom, which, thankfully, was attached to my cell. It was old and the toilet was non-operational. The smell was horrid so I did my business as quickly as possible. The thing that grossed me out the most, aside from the smell, was the fact that I couldn't wash my hands. It made me extremely careful about what I did in there.

When I came back out, my lip still curled in disgust from the state of the bathroom, Milo and Jonathon were there waiting for me. "It's time to make the call, Cordelia," Jonathon instructed, his lips turned up into a tight smirk as he held my cell phone at arm's length. He obviously didn't want to get close to me and what he probably thought were my whorish ways. Not to mention the fact that I voluntarily consorted with vampires. He probably thought I was contaminated in some way.

Milo grabbed the phone and handed it to me. “Enter your password and pull up Rook’s number.”

They both watched as I unlocked my phone and found Rook’s name in my contact list. Milo snatched the phone back before I could do anything like call for help. As he did, Jonathon took the opportunity to try and play nice, which I wasn't particularly in the mood for. All I wanted was to be reunited with Rook.

Jonathon cleared his throat before looking in my general direction, though not directly at me. "I'm sorry for Massimo's abhorrent behavior earlier. Milo explained that he took advantage of the situation and was a bit, how should I put this?” He tapped his fingertip against his chin. “We’ll call it overzealous?” He didn’t seem upset over the violent attack. “He's been asked to leave the property because of his actions."

Wow. They’d actually forced him to leave? I wondered at that. He had to be their hired gun, the guy who provided the muscle and speed to their cause. They would need stronger than a hunter to take down Rook if that was their true goal.

"Which property?" I casually asked like it didn’t matter to me, hoping they'd accidentally tell me the exact location of the building. Milo and Jonathon just ignored me and changed the subject.

"You need to nonchalantly arrange to meet with Rook for an understandable reason. Something he would expect and somewhere that would get him alone," Jonathon explained as he looked at Milo, like the little asshole was the one making the phone call and not me.
