“I’ve drawn all the blinds,” Oliver’s voice came from inside the apartment. “You can come in now.”

Zane reached for the doorknob and pushed the door open, entering the dimly lit place before letting the lock snap in behind him. Oliver, Samson’s human assistant, did have his uses. Making areas vampire-safe was one of them. Not that Francine, who’d accompanied them, couldn’t have done the same thing, but frankly, Zane didn’t trust her. And while he was many things, he was never careless with his own life. After all, he only had the one.

“Thanks, Oliver, appreciate it.”

He walked past the kid—which clearly he was when you looked at him: fresh faced, early twenties, barely the appearance of a stubble or the suspicion that he could even grow a beard. His hair was a dark mess with each single strand seemingly sticking into another direction no matter how often he ran his hand through it to tame it into a neat coiffure. The effort was wasted—Oliver’s hair did what it wanted to do.

His eyes were clear and bright. He was a good kid—a kid worthy of knowing their secrets. And a kid, he suspected from his interactions with him, who wanted to be just like them, like the vampires who worked for Scanguards.

“If I can help with anything—”

“Just watch the door.” When disappointment flitted across Oliver’s face, Zane added “thanks” and nearly choked on the word. Yuck, he was turning soft.

Haven’s apartment had been easy to find. Once the witch had given them his full name, Gabriel had made a few well-placed calls to some trusted sources at the City and the Police Department and been surprised to find out what Haven Montgomery was: a bounty hunter. Apparently a pretty good one too.

That’s just what they needed: a bounty hunter who was also a witch. Not that the witch part was evident anywhere in Haven’s apartment. Zane swept the one-bedroom place with his usual cold efficiency, taking in the many boxes both in the living room as well as the small bedroom. Either the man had just moved in, or he was ready to move out.

Zane wouldn’t let the latter thing happen. He’d nab the asshole before he could get away.

A sigh behind him made him turn. Francine stood in front of the faux fireplace with a framed picture in her hands. Zane approached her and looked over her shoulder.

“What’s that?”

Francine shrieked, a sound spreading a feeling of satisfaction in Zane’s chest. He still had it: he could even sneak up on a witch, and their senses were said to be superior to those of mere humans. And he might as well make it clear to her that he was watching her every second. If she was planning to trick him, he’d be right on her, because there was no way he believed that Francine would betray a fellow witch, particularly not one she seemed to know personally.

“Who are they?” Zane asked, pointing at the picture with the two boys and the baby which Francine held so tightly her knuckles had turned white.
