A smile spread on Ava’s lips as she and Ezra headed back to the safe house.

“I knew there was still hope for Samuel,” she said. “It was all Big Dog, Ezra. He’s to blame for all this.”

He stopped and watched her with pity. “Perhaps, but we shouldn’t forget that Samuel chose to order his own father’s death. Also, our first duty is to Diego.”

Very true. But why shouldn’t she consider Samuel her charge as well?

Big Dog would certainly turn into a demon or burn in the Hells when he died, but Diego’s son had good in him. Ava felt it in her bones.

Surely, it might not be the kind of good that sent one to the Heavens or turned them into an angel, but it was good nonetheless.

“Liam!” A man shouted from the other side of the street, catching her attention.

Ava spotted a boy no older than ten running across the sidewalk and dodging passersby.

The man bolted after him, but the boy was too fast. “Liam, godsdamned! Get back here!”

Godsdamned.

She frowned at Ezra, who took in the scene with amusement.

“Selfless?” she asked.

He nodded.

The boy kept running, no, chasing a man three times his size who reeked of coagulated blood.

A new vampire!

Heavens, a child was chasing a creature of the night? This was madness. The vampire could easily snap him in two!

“Shouldn’t we help them?” Anguish pushed her forward.

Ezra laid a gentle hand on her shoulder and shook his head. “Watch.”

The creature grunted, his skin reddish where the sun hit it. Newer vampires couldn’t withstand the sun as easily as older ones, which meant this vampire was slower and weaker than normal.

Still, he sprinted through the sidewalk, strong enough to push people out of his way.

He carried a purple bag in his hand; a woman’s purse. Which meant that the man was a vampire but also a thief.

He glanced behind and slowed down, because the boy had disappeared.

Heavens, where was he?

The vampire turned to keep running, but instead he cursed loudly and bent forward, grabbing his crotch.

“Ha!” The boy came into view as he ran back toward his father—or whoever the Selfless man was. The little one carried the purse the way one would carry a trophy.

Oh, thank Heavens! He was safe.

Ava couldn’t believe that a child had kicked a vampire in the … hmm, intimates. Whoever that boy was, he did not fear death.

He ran past the Selfless chasing them and stopped before a quivering old lady. He handed her the purse with a wide grin.

The vampire glared at the boy but when he saw the bulky Selfless standing between them, his arms crossed and a dare in his raised brow, the creature ran away.

Once he was sure the crook was gone, the man returned to where the boy stood with the old lady.

She hugged the child with strength. “Thank you, young man!” She then shook the grown up’s hand. “Oh, you must be so proud, sir!”

The man glared at the boy but a proud smirk creased his lips. “Yeah, I am.
