They escaped through the dark undergrowth of the back garden without too much trouble. Devereau kept a tight hand on the pale-faced gunman but he was now completely cowed and still tied at the wrists, so he wasn’t likely to try to escape. Devereau had also gagged him with one of Dr Yara’s scarves just in case he tried shouting for help and drawing unwanted attention. He’d sing like a canary later though – Devereau would make sure of that.

Martina’s trousers snagged on an old nail as they clambered over the fence and there was a loud ripping sound as she yanked them free, but other than that they managed to get several streets away without any ado. Luckily any werewolves who lived nearby weren’t creatures of the night like the vampires. It made slipping away unnoticed far easier.

Devereau had been telling the truth to Gaz – he didn’t have any particular destination in mind. Part of him thought it might be wise to get out of London altogether; the other part reckoned it would be easier to hide in the anonymity a big city. In the end, he decided that that running away didn’t suit him. He’d never catch up with Dom and the other wankers behind all this if he skittered away like a mouse. All he had to do was find a place where Yara and Martina could stay out of sight and they’d be sorted.

They marched three abreast down the street with the captive gunman stumbling behind them. It was only when Martina started to drag her feet that Devereau allowed them to slow down.

They were far enough away from both Lisson Grove and Soho that he could steal a car without it being immediately traced back to him. There was an estate car on the other side of the road that was so old he knew he could break into it easily. He pointed it out to Dr Yara. She clicked her tongue in disapproval but followed him with Martina and their captive.

Devereau tried the door. It was astonishing how many people forgot to lock their cars and it was always wise to check before forcing a door open. Unfortunately, the owner of this vehicle was smart and the door didn’t budge. Before he could try anything else his phone started to ring. He pulled his mobile out of his pocket with his free hand and glanced at the screen. Three missed calls, all from Mrs Foster.

He frowned as the phone continued to ring. He debated with himself and then answered it. ‘Hi Scarlett.’

She didn’t waste time with pleasantries. ‘Have you spoken to all the alphas? How did they take the news?’

‘I spoke to some sniffy werewolf called Robert,’ he answered, unwilling to lie to her outright.

‘That’s one of Lady Sullivan’s betas.’

‘I figured.’

‘What about the others?’

‘I haven’t spoken to them yet.’

There was a beat of silence. ‘Where are you now, Devereau?’

The best way to answer any question that you didn’t want to answer was to ask a question.
