This part of Third Street was already loud and in full swing by the time we pulled up to the curb. Leslie hadn't spoken much on the drive over and I didn't blame her. At one point, I thought she was taking a nap, and when I called her name gently, she stirred. Her face held onto that peace for several moments more before she shivered and woke with a start.

"Marcus," she breathed and then her face fell as reality hit her like a brick in the face.

"We'll find them and we will destroy them." It was the only thing of comfort I could tell her. Saying I was sorry just didn't seem enough for the loss she had suffered.

"We can change seats. I'll keep the engine running in case something goes wrong in there." She turned to me, a serious look on her face. "I know how badly you want to go to the Seelie court. Please, don't go there tonight. I know it's the first time you've had access to that part of your heritage. Please, don't leave me behind on my own. I don't think I can do this on my own." She had registered my curiosity. I had always downplayed my Fae heritage because of the many stories in circulation regarding the hideous nature of the creatures. But that was my nature as well. And she had understood my thirst for more knowledge.

"I promise. I'm gonna talk to Callie and see what she says about our swamp creature. We need to know who he's working with because I don't get the sense he was acting alone."

"I agree. I'll be here waiting," she said and opened the car door. I watched her as she made a loop around the car and opened the driver side for me to get out. She touched me on the shoulder."Be safe in there."

I nodded and took a deep breath. It would be better if she could join me inside but I agreed with her, it would be a distraction.

"I won't take long, I promise." I sounded more certain than I felt. I opened the door without looking back at her and stepped into the familiar gloom of the Fae bar. It wasn't as busy as it had been yesterday but there were at least 30 to 40 patrons sitting around the bar and dancing. The different smells of the creatures were overwhelming and I refocused on my mission. I needed to find Callie but I wasn't sure if she worked the bar. The last time we were here she had appeared on the stairs as we tried to escape. The brownie would know where she was. I leaned over to the bartender, a 6 foot seven blonde man who smelled of forest and yelled at him over the raucous noise of the Irish band that was playing.

"I need to talk to Callie or the brownie that works for her," I yelled at him. He ignored me.

I tried another tactic. "I need a drink.
