Chapter Thirteen

Darkness approached the cell that held the human. Boris lay in a hospital bed, the machines monitoring him making no sound as the male slept. Fury stayed near the elevator. Darkness unlocked the door.

Boris stirred. “It’s about time. I need more morphine. I’m in pain.”

“You won’t be getting any relief from me.”

Jerry Boris’ eyes opened and he stared in horror at Darkness. “HELP!”

Darkness paused by the end of the bed and smiled coldly, making certain his fangs showed. “No one can hear you. I’m glad you remember me because we’re not done yet.”

Boris’ fearful gaze darted frantically around the room, probably searching for the officer who was usually stationed outside his cell. It was easy for Darkness to read when the male realized no one was there to help him. Tears filled the human’s eyes. No pity surfaced inside Darkness.

“What do you want?”

Darkness gripped the bars of the foot rail and rattled the bed a little. The male cringed and tried to pull his legs up as far as possible. “Let’s talk about the FBI.”

Boris panted and some of the blood drained out of his face. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Yes you do.” Darkness released the foot rail and straightened, inching around the bed. He studied every visible inch of Jerry Boris. “I was disappointed with our last conversation.”

“I told you the truth. That cat girl is exactly where I said. You had to have found her. I bribed one of the guards on that estate and he verified she was there and that she was alive.”

“I’m not here about the Gift.” Darkness reached behind his back and withdrew a nail file he’d tucked into his waistband. He lifted one hand and used the tip to run along his thumbnail. “I was disappointed you survived.” He paused and examined the metal point. “No one here likes you. I’m sure you don’t have friends at Fuller either.”

“You’re going to kill me.” Jerry’s voice broke. “You said you wouldn’t if I talked.”

“I said I wouldn’t as long as you gave me the information I wanted and didn’t lie.”

“I told you the truth!” The male scooted to press his body against the side rail opposite Darkness. “I told you everything I know.”

“You didn’t mention the FBI. I’ve been busy since we spoke, looking into everything about your life. They sent agents to attempt to take True’s mate. You remember her, don’t you? Jeanie doesn’t like you either.”

“I don’t know why they wanted her.”

Darkness lunged and grabbed the male’s hand. Boris fought but not effectively enough to jerk out of his hold. “What did I say about lying to me?”

“HELP!” Jerry screamed again. The high-pitched sound was painful to Darkness’ keen hearing.

He used the nail file tip to press just under the male’s index fingernail. “Don’t you hate dirt under your nails? Allow me to help you with that.” He jabbed the point into the tender skin.

The male screamed again and flopped on the bed. Darkness glanced at the heart monitor, watching the numbers spike.
