"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.

"If you're so all-fired important to them, how come you're in this room with me?"

"Because up until now, you didn't know what I'd done, " he pointed out. "Up until now, it was possible you would give me other information we could use against them. "

"So now, now that I know what you are, they'll let you out. Right? Why don't you try it and see? I'd much rather be alone. " Just then a small aperture in the door opened. I hadn't even known it was there, having been preoccupied while I was out in the hall. A face appeared at the opening, which measured perhaps ten inches by ten inches.

It was a familiar face. Gabe, grinning. "How you doing in there, you two?"

"Sookie needs a doctor, " Hugo said. "She's not complaining, but I think her cheekbone is broken. " He sounded reproachful. "And she knows about my alliance with the Fellowship, so you might as well let me out. "

I didn't know what Hugo thought he was doing, but I tried to look as beaten as possible. That was pretty easy.
