Chapter Thirteen
Sally echoed my thoughts from the passenger seat, âWhat now?â
Abby sighed, âI think our best bet is to surrender, but on our terms. Otherwise itâs just a matter of time until they hunt us down.â
Sally said, âThatâs desperate, but I suppose we are in a desperate situation. What are you thinking?â
There was a brief pause.
Abby replied, âThis wasnât a bust. It was Serin covering his ass. The only reason we escaped is because there were no witches, which means he feared theyâd see through his bullshit. He wanted to put us down to cover his misdeeds, and he waited so long to do it so he could get in one more good score when he took all the money brought in tonight. I canât say why he thought he needed to do it, but he obviously thought heâd lost control of the situation, or perhaps regained control with Adeleâs death? I donât know.
âPoint is, if we can get inside the council chamber and surrender there, theyâll hear us out and question us before coming to a decision. If weâre lucky, weâll survive, and Serin will be punished, or if not that far, heâll at least lose influence and authority in the city.â
Sally sighed, then nodded, âIf we can convince them to investigate on our word alone. I might be able to help with that. I have Adeleâs records, including weekly payments to SN in her ledger for two thousand dollars. The first and last letter of his name. Itâs thin on its own, but if itâs enough to get them to investigate, Katrina can read the warehouse floor to gain proof of him accepting the bribes, and they can check his bank accounts for matching deposits.â
Abby nodded, âEither way, our little enterprise is over. Our council is a pain in the ass, but theyâre not as corrupt as most. Theyâll cover for Serin with the humans, to save face, but they wonât let it continue. Anything we missed?â
I cleared my throat, as I thought of something I hadnât considered before.
âOnly three of the four groups participated in the new setup. What if greed wasnât the only reason Serin waited to raid us until late, what if he went somewhere else first? Gabe went his own way, but he was still someone that knew about Serinâs corruption. Wouldnât he want to clean the slate, destroy all the outsiders in the Chicago area? He couldnât afford to leave that loose end. He wouldnât have the excuse of a rogue attacking to kill Gabe and his people, but then a Nephilim is more than a match for a vampire and a few more supes by himself.â
Sally cursed vociferously, and then pulled out her cell phone, while Abby looked at me in shock.
It wasnât all that long, before Sally lowered her phone.
âIt didnât even ring, went straight to voicemail. Either his phone is off, or itâs destroyed, and Gabe never turns his phone off. I think sheâs right, Abby, weâre down to three groups now and on the run.
