He was stalling. “The dead waitress,” I said.

“They took her,” he said, shaking his head from side to side, as if he were actually saying, No, they couldn’t have done what they did. “They took her, and I didn’t know what they were going to do. I knew she was the only one who’d seen Farrell with Godfrey, and I’d told them that. When I got up today and I heard she’d been found dead, I just couldn’t believe it.”

“They abducted her after you told them she’d been at Stan’s. After you told them she was the only true witness.”

“Yes, they must have.”

“You called them last night.”

“Yes, I have a cell phone. I went out in the backyard and I called. I was really taking a chance, because you know how well the vamps can hear, but I called.” He was trying to convince himself that had been a brave, bold thing to do. Place a phone call from vamp headquarters to lay the finger on poor, pathetic Bethany, who’d ended up shot in an alley.

“She was shot after you betrayed her.”

“Yes, I . . . I heard that on the news.”

“Guess who did that, Hugo.”

“I . . . just don’t know.”

“Sure you do, Hugo. She’d been an eyewitness. And she was a lesson, a lesson to the vampires. ‘This is what we’ll do to people who work for you or make their living from you, if they go against the Fellowship.’ What do you think they’re going to do with you, Hugo?”

“I’ve been helping them,” he said, surprised.

“Who else knows that?”

“No one.”

“So who would die? The lawyer that helped Stan Davis live where he wanted.”

Hugo was speechless.
