“Not much farther,” Char said, though no one had actually asked her about an ETA. Friday night traffic in the downtown area had been bad. Then, once they were in quieter streets, she’d made a few false turns and had to backtrack a few times. The magic was making navigating hard but not impossible. What did bother her was that the digital clock in the dashboard read 2:05.

When she hadn’t been psychically suggesting that Jebel Haven meet her this evening, Char had spent her dream time really looking at the city. Now that she was aware of the obscuring spells, she was much less confused by them. She did not have to use her complete concentration to drive, which was good, because she had a lot to think about regarding the man sitting so closely beside her. He was large, her car was small, he couldn’t help but fill the front while Santini sat in the backseat.

Jebel Haven had a guilty conscience. He radiated anguish while he stared expressionlessly through the windshield. Char knew all about Sara Breslow, the young woman who’d died while working with Haven, Baker, and Santini. Haven was probably comparing her to Sara. She was sure he blamed himself for the girl’s death. Then there was the guilt over all the things he must have done before an attack by a band of blood-drinking parasites on a desert hideout converted the survivors into a band of God-fearing crusaders. Jebel Haven had done a good deal to make up for his past, but he still didn’t have a lot of reasons to like himself very much. He’d probably be grateful to be put out of his misery when she finally got around to killing him.

Much to her annoyance, she had to change her plan to whack him tonight. Killing Haven before dawn was no longer an option. She had a lot more to find out from him than she’d originally thought. Char recognized this fact and was furious for having been so honest with him. It was all very well and good to tell him the truth when she thought he only had a few minutes to live, but then he’d dropped the bombshell that he was working for the FBI or someone in the FBI. Her plans had had to change.

She wondered if that was why Istvan had ordered the hit on Haven. Not only was the mortal looking to turn his formidable destructive talents on different types of supernatural beings, but the Council was aware that he was now working with the feds. No government anywhere in the world could be allowed to know of the existence of the strigoi. It was a Law. But how could the Strigoi Council know that and not tell her? After all, she was the one whose research had uncovered Haven’s existence in the first place. If he could feel guilty about Breslow’s death, she could feel guilty about his. On many levels. When it happened.

In the meantime, there was Daniel, the sorcerer, and the demon connection to untangle.
