CHAPTER FOUR

Newhall, outer-Los Angeles

The sun rose behind the hills, heavenly colors blending to cascade across the sky, with pastel streaks painting orange and yellow glimmers over the city. They sat together and watched it rise.

“Oh, it’s beautiful,” Valentine whispered, her eyes reflecting the pastel light.

Victor wasn’t looking at the sunrise, he only looked at her.

She turned her gaze to his. “Payne?”

He smiled at her while gold glints shone from his eyes. “I’ve seen it literally a million tedious times. It’s the first one that ever moved me.” He held her tighter in his arms while she sat in his lap.

At the intense expression on his face, she lowered her head.

“I never would have guessed you could be shy,” he teased.

“I never was before, believe me!” She laughed.

Victor stood up with her in his arms. “Yes, I guess you just never know about someone, but the glory of the investigation can be a most enjoyable journey.” He took her into the living room while wearing a huge grin on his face.

The phone rang.

He halted and they gazed at each other. “The real world calls.” He set her down and answered the call. “Payne here.”

Valentine stood stock-still and watched him. She knew this call would come; they never solved the case officially and were supposed to make a report yesterday.

He listened for a long moment and his gaze narrowed. “Yeah, thanks, Laura.” He set the phone down.

“What?”

“They have an APB out.”

“A suspect?” She grabbed his arm.

He nodded.

“Well?”

Victor released a heavy sigh and stared at her.

She shook her head while she backed away. “No!” She drew in an anxious breath. “They think it’s me?”

“They have video from security cameras at Phillip Gardner’s mansion.”

“What can we do?”

“You’re not getting booked and processed. That’s the one thing we won’t be doing!” he growled low.

“They think I murdered all those men?” Her eyes filled up with tears.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her back to the patio.

“Where are we going?” she wanted to know.

Victor scooped her into his arms. “To my world.” They lifted from the ground and shot up into the morning air.

Lycian Keep, Lithuania

Victor set her down on the ground at the entrance.

Valentine leaned her head back while she stared at an enormous, stately castle with dark spires, which seemed to climb for stories. “This is...?” She swallowed with awe. “...Yours?”

“Yep.”

“It must have like, what? Fifty bedrooms?”

“Seventy five, I think.”

Valentine gazed around with wide eyes. “Where are we?”

“Lithuania.”

“Lithuania, the country?” she asked with a gasp.

He nodded.

“But how did we get here so quickly?”

“I always fly first class.” A teasing twinkle sparked from his eyes.

A sudden massive amount of people appeared from all around, like from smoke. Men all dressed in black were everywhere and there were so many of them.

Valentine gazed over to the entry and jumped with a startled gasp. A long line of people, men and women all stood lining the ostentatious entrance. “Where did all these people come from?”

Victor turned her toward the entrance. “Well, I haven’t been here for a while and they’re.
