Chapter 10

Once inside the building, Jax released my hand, and the two men began to make sure the place was locked down. Sarah came to stand next to me, and the two of us watched Jax drop the tailgate, pull out one of the cargo boxes, and start to hand Rick weapons … lots of weapons. I recognized the black, rolled, leather pouch; the needles inside were filled with the same coagulated blood as the Mason jar. Watching Jax place it on the table, I shivered.

He stopped in front of me, as Rick moved effortlessly around the building, drawing something that looked like symbols. However, I had never seen warding against vampires. Jax cleared his throat, bringing my eyes back to focus on him and not his baby brother. He took my hand, a little rough this time, and placed the grip of a small Walther in my palm.

“I assume you know how to use this,” he said with snark, and the anger from our earlier conversation came flashing back, but I bit my tongue. “Good. From now on you’re not to go anywhere without it.” He put two full mags in my other hand. “Aim for the head, anywhere else won’t do a thing.”

“Oh, trust me, I’m not aiming anywhere else,” I heard him growl deep in his throat.

Grasping my arm, he wrapped his fingers gently around it and tugged me over to the chair. With a little force, enough to catch the attention of Rick, Jax literally sat me down on the seat and pulled his own closer.

“You haven’t done anything, okay,” his hand came up and his eyes half closed, hoping to avoid an argument. “I know what happened earlier is … well, it’s probably my fault. But listen. Right now, I have to know some things. I need you to be honest with me and answer the damned questions.”

“Fine.” I placed the gun on the table as Rick walked around to grab the chair directly in my line of sight, and Sarah the one behind me. “What do you want to know?”

“I need to know exactly what kind of information you have on vampires.”

Raising my eyebrow at this, I shook my head. “I know a lot about them. Do you want Hollywood or lore?”

He gave me a snort, but not too loud, and his lips turned up in a grin. “Tell me what the flicks taught you.”

I hesitated a minute, gathering my thoughts before I shift in my chair. “Vampires can only be killed by cutting off their heads. Dead man’s blood can slow them down, poison them if there’s enough, but only a Red Queen move is going to end them. No stake through the heart, no garlic, no holy water or crosses. That stuff doesn’t work.” I shrugged. Jax braced
