“Hunter?”

Luc sighed and repeated, “Hunter.”

“The douche who was at your club?” Luc and Kat had come and found me in our room, and I didn’t like where this was going.

“Hmm.” Luc tapped a finger on his cheek as he glanced at where Kat sat on the bed. “There were two douches there. He was one of them. So you were—”

“Funny,” I said.

“I thought so.” Luc flashed a grin as he dropped down beside Kat. “Do you know that saying¸ beggars can’t be choosers?”

My eyes narrowed. “I’m never the beggar.”

“Guys.” Kat tucked her hair back behind both ears. “So what do you not like about this Hunter guy?”

“Let’s see.” I pretended to think about that. “He’s an Arum for starters.”

Her gray eyes rolled. “Other than that?”

“Does there need to be another reason?” To me, that was good enough for my rabid dislike of the guy.

Luc nudged Kat with his arm. “It doesn’t matter if he likes Hunter or not. The Arum owes me a favor, and if anyone knows where all our natural-born killers are currently holed up¸ he’ll know.”

“And we can trust him?” she asked.

I snorted. Trusting an Arum? Yeah. Right.

Luc ignored me. “He wouldn’t dare screw around with me, not when he has so much to lose.”

Something ignorant was on the tip of my tongue, but it faded away like a memory just out of reach. I thought about the woman I’d seen with him at the club—a human woman. There had most definitely been a relationship between the two.

I about vomited in my mouth at the thought of that.

“I’ve already talked to him,” Luc said, stretching his arms above his head like a cat in the sunlight. “He’s gonna meet us in Atlanta.”

“Atlanta?” Surprise colored her voice. “And how are we supposed to get there?”

“Probably gonna have to drive.” He shrugged. “There’re no planes in the air, not since ET phoned home and then shot down a commercial jet.”

Kat paled. We hadn’t heard that news yet.

“So, yeah, I don’t suggest flying the unfriendly skies. I’ve already looked it up,” he continued. “It’s gonna take about thirty hours to drive, so it’s going to be an epic road trip. Hunter will meet you at the airport, though—domestic side.” He smiled then, like something about that amused him.

I leaned against the dresser. “So how is Hunter going to help us go after the Arum? Didn’t realize he’s that important of a dude.”

“Hunter’s important but not that significant.” Luc kicked his feet up so his legs were straight. I had no idea if the kid could ever sit still. “He’s your ticket to the Arum playground. He knows where they’re all cooling their feet. Getting Hunter to take you to his leader—master—whatever—isn’t going to be the problem.”

I arched a brow.

“It’s going to be getting the Grand Poo-Bah to go along with it. The Arum are kind of like you guys. All they need is a leader, and then they’ll follow him right off a cliff.” He paused, scrunching his nose.
