The moon was high in the sky. Finley crossed the street and saw an inconspicuous building in front of her. It was a law firm she didn’t know, but it was apparently one of the top firms in the city. She approached the front of the building but changed directions when she noticed people leaving through the large glass doors. She didn’t want anyone to see her lurking around here, especially not this time of the night. She was surprised that there were still people inside the building. They must be working late.

Pyre had given her clear instructions on how to obtain access to Luka’s headquarters, which were located under the offices. First, she needed to find the concealed door, hidden by layers of ivy, which no human being could ever locate without having x-ray vision. Then she needed to gain access through the guarded doors to his private office.

Of course, Finley noticed the door right away as she made her way onto the side of the building. She pressed against the door, and it opened, although it seemed way too easy for her liking, unsettling her immediately. Pulling the layers of ivy away so that she could enter, she slipped through the door, covered the entryway with the ivy, and closed the door behind her.

A long hallway with a slight downward slant stretched before her, and she bravely took one step after the other. The hallway unexpectedly widened, and two burly vampires flanked a metal door, which resembled the door of a bank vault.

“Hey,” Finley said casually and approached the two men. Their stances immediately changed, and they glared at her threateningly. “I’m here to see Luka,” she said in her most confident voice.

“What business do you have with Luka?” one of them asked, his voice sounding very familiar to her.

“I have information regarding the Dragon Prince, in exchange for his protection,” Finley answered.

The two vampires glanced at one another, and the one on the right nodded. The other one stared directly at Finley and ordered, “Show me.”

“Show you what?” Finley asked, her eyes widening.

“That you’re a vampire.” He rolled his eyes. “What else would I want to see?”

“I have no idea,” Finley sighed and nodded. “I’ll show you.”

Her eyes flashed unexpectedly, and her fangs grew long and sharp. Finley felt proud of herself for mastering her eyes and her fangs in such a short time. Pyre had been a great help, even though he was a little distracted after their night in the wetlands. She didn’t want to ask him about it, as she knew it was hard for him to share things like that. Shameful things in his past.

Somehow, she wanted to make things better for him, but she didn’t know how. Maybe it would be better if she left, after all. She did not want to be the cause of his misery. The sooner she could give him the stone, which was what he had been wanting for a while now—or so it seemed to Finley—the sooner she could get the hell away from him.
