Jackie smiled back briefly before her gaze slid back to Vincent. She frowned at his grim expression. “What’s the matter?”

“I was unlocking the front door when the alarm suddenly went off,” Vincent said quietly.

Jackie blinked, then said apologetically, “Oh. Yes. Well, Dante and Tomasso thought they should throw me in the pool to celebrate.”

“I was afraid something had happened,” he explained, then forced a smile. “I’m glad you’re okay.”

Jackie reached out and slid her hand into his, giving him a squeeze. He really looked quite pale. Obviously the alarm had distressed him.

“Five minutes?” Christian asked as Dante, Tomasso, and Marcus made their way to the house. Water was dripping from their clothes and pooling with every step they took. Jackie watched them approach with amusement. She was soaking wet too, but while she was in a jogging suit, they were in leather and were now squelching with every step. All three men nodded at Christian’s question, not one ofthem looking nearly as happy as they had after throwingher in the pool.

“Thanks for helping me learn to control my teeth, guys.” Jackie smiled at them sweetly, then turned to make her way into the house, adding, “I’m off to dry off and change.”

Jackie slipped past Christian and the others, then paused at the kitchen door and turned to peer at Tiny. “How did the interviews go?”

Tiny shrugged. “I think we eliminated some more people, but no one screamed guilt.”

She nodded. “I shouldn’t take long to change and then you can give me a proper rundown.” “I’ll make coffee,” Tiny announced and Jackie shook her head and smiled as she pushed out of the kitchen. The giant was forever making coffee and baked goods. It was like having her gran around, although then it would have been tea and baked goods.

Jackie was quick to change into dry jogging pants and a t-shirt and the first to return to the kitchen. The moment she arrived, Tiny handed her a cup of coffee, then the five of them settled around the kitchen table while Tiny gave her a rundown of how the interviews had gone. Christian, Marguerite, and Vincent added comments here and there, but Tiny did most of the talking.

Marcus joined them during the debriefing and took the last seat at the table. With no chairs left when the twins joined them, the pair leaned against the wall, arms crossed over their chests as they listened. To be thorough, Jackie had wanted to include some of the humans in the interviews. Chances were that it was animmortal, but the humans might have seen something useful. However, no one else had agreed with her. The attacks on Stephano and herself pointed to an immortal, as did the onset of “contagious anemia” in the play’s cast, so they’d insisted on interviewing only the immortals. They’d apparently changed their minds during the evening and interviewed a couple of mortals along the way. However, their main interest had been to feed Vincent at those stops under the guise of interviewing them and they’d done little in the way of real questioning.
