Chapter 11

"HEY, SAM, I HEARD ABOUT THE LATEST VIC. Sorry you had to work it without me. But I'm even more sorry that I was stuck here watching your maker all day." Quinn was irritated. I could hear it in his voice.

"I know. I get that you'd rather be in on the action than home with the kiddies. Thanks, though, for keeping him safe. Much as I don't care for the guy he was right on about the car. We are definitely looking for a gold Taurus."

I heard Quinn's sigh and tried not to smile.

"Well, at least he has the good sports stations on cable."

"That's something, right? Especially since Kelly put a moratorium on football in your house."

"Yeah, I guess the day wasn't all bad."

"Sure, because I had a ton of chuckles staring at the liquid meat that was the remains of the newest victim."

"Dammit, Sam, you sure know how to take the fun out of everything."

"Hey, I wasn't the one who went all Kitchen Ninja on the hooker.”

"That bad?"

"Quinn, it was the worst one yet. He's going off the rails, man. Two vics just a few days apart means he's broken his routine. I'm terrified he won't be sticking to hookers and junkies. I'm scared he’s going to start grabbing any shifter he comes across."

"You’re most likely right, kid. Fuck."

"That's about what I said. Hey, I'll come over and relieve you from sitting duty. You go home and get some sleep. I'll figure out with Gerry what we should do about Ben. I get the feeling we won't need to have anyone stay on him much longer. He's not a woman and Grisly doesn't know about him. I don't think he's in any danger."

"Here's hoping. There is nothing worse than babysitting. See you soon, drive carefully."

"Drive carefully? Bitch, please."

"Right, I forgot who I was talking to. Drive like a maniac." I could almost hear him stick his tongue out at me as he hung up. I drove to Ben's taking my own sweet time and being sure to drive carefully.

As I pulled into his apartment complex I looked at his door. Quinn's car was still in the lot. I parked my car and started to walk up to Ben's door when my phone rang. Gerry was on the other end.

“Gerry?”

“Hey, Sam. Your pal’s boss got back with me today.”

“Yeah, and?” I held my breath.

“He’s on the up and up. He confirms your friend works import/export for them. He also said he was a good employee and he was at the motel dealing with a difficult client that was from out of town.”

I let the breath out in a rush of gratitude. All I ever wanted from anyone is plain and simple honesty. It appears my maker had given me that. Maybe I had acted a bit like a paranoid jerk, but in this business honesty was something that didn’t come up very often.

“Good. At least he was telling the truth about that. Did his boss say why everything was so hush hush?”

“Apparently the client was famous and didn’t want anyone spotting him in town.
