Jericho nodded at the guy who’d given him a ride and got out of the car. He stretched and looked around, hoping he’d find Brad in this town. The hunters had several headquarters, and Brad hadn’t been in the first one Jericho had visited. It had been abandoned, probably because it was too close to Whitedell.

Jericho looked around. The town was small, and he remembered exactly where headquarters were. He didn’t recognize any of the people milling around and entering and exiting the diner, but he hadn’t known every hunter personally.

He walked into the diner. He hadn’t eaten since dinner at the mansion the night before, and he was hungry as fuck. He needed to stop thinking about the mansion, though. It was too easy to start thinking about the house and shift to its inhabitants, one in particular.

Jericho had been thinking about Aeron since he’d left him in his bed. He couldn’t help but wonder what Aeron thought, if he thought Jericho had run to go back to the hunters. He’d left a note, but he couldn’t be sure Dominic had given it to him. The man was honest, so he probably had, but even then, it didn’t mean Aeron understood and would forgive Jericho when he went back.

“What can I get you?” the waitress asked.

Jericho smiled at her. “Coffee.”

She smiled back. “That was a given. Anything to eat?”

Jericho didn’t have that much money on him, but he did have enough to buy himself a burger. Dominic had made sure everything he’d been carrying during the battle was given back to him, except the weapons, of course. “Burger and fries please.”

She left, and Jericho tried to relax. His thoughts moved from Brad to Aeron and then back, and that didn’t help him feel better. He wanted to go back to Whitedell more than anything, but he couldn’t, not yet.

Someone slid in the seat in front of Jericho and he looked up, tensing when he recognized one of the hunters’ team leaders. “Bobby.”

“Jericho. We thought you were dead.”

“I obviously wasn’t.”

“Obviously. What are you doing here?”

“Looking for the boss.”

“He’s here.”

“Good.”

Jericho waited, knowing Bobby would have more questions. Jericho had disappeared during the battle at the mansion. That had been weeks ago, and no one had heard from him since then. It wasn’t surprising that they’d thought he was dead. It was one of the most harmless things they could think, and Jericho knew some would decide he’d probably betrayed them. He hoped to get to Bradley before they had a mutiny on their hands.

“Where have you been?” Bobby asked.

“Around.”

“What does that mean?”

“That it’s none of your business.”

Luckily, the waitress came by with Jericho’s burger. She asked Bobby if he wanted anything, and Jericho attacked his burger, eager to be done and out of there. The last thing he wanted was to explain to Bobby where he’d been and what he’d done. Bobby was just a hunter, and a bigoted one at that. Jericho didn’t want to have to watch his back while going to headquarters.
