"So, what’s in it for you? You’ve told me all you can do for me What do want me to do for you?"

"This" The man motioned him over

The video of the battle sped up to normal speed The motion of the immortals and the vampires appeared blurry and indistinct "There" The man hit the button bar, and the video paused "Do you know this woure onscreen She had been paused in the act of swinging two katanas One blade carved a long wound across a vampire’s side The other blade sank into a second vampire’s arm Her fair features, speckled with blood, bore an expression of intense determination

Dennis could understand why she appealed so ’er" Wait Was her last naiven her? "Bang’er Binger Soha" The e file in the bottoham"

Dennis stared at the attractive woman in the picture Pale skin Brown hair Hazel eyes A pretty shaht last night She was the one who carried Roland and Bastien away to safety" The thought of it, of their slipping froe if the stupid drug weren’t dulling everything

"If she’s immortal," the man said, "then she’s been transforain to the photo in the corner--"is Sarah Bingham"

Roland had transformed Sarah? What had happened to their protect humans at all cost bullshit?

Or maybe Bastien had turned her

Dennis’s eyes narrowed as they traveled back to the frozen video Sarah--the real Sarah--could be seen way in the back, cutting down vaht She was as hot as whoever the redheaded human chick was

If she had only recently been turned,did it take to discover which she ht be? Montrose had droned on about DNA and some other crap, but Dennis hadn’t paid attention His only interest in i theain their special powers

Sarah Binghan with a fe i her by his side Or in his bed

"Did you hear ant pain in the ass "Yeah You said the human isn’t Sarah"

"You asked what you could do for ed the frozen video iservice not working out for you?"

The lacial

Dennis reet her?"

"I assume you kno h"

"You knew they were there before you arrived?"

"Way before"

"Then you see et anywhere near her because of the immortals that surround her"

But Dennis could He had held her in his arht her to this very basement Had she not been unconscious, he would have fed from her But he preferred blood donors--and sexual partners--who struggled and put up a fight

"So, if I bring you this wo you promised?"

"You have iven his word to the soldier he had fed to Dennis, too But that didn’t matter Dennis would best decide how to use this situation for his own benefit

"Fine Consider her yours"

A triumphant smile slid across theme an immortal, too, and I’ll sweeten it"

Dennis nodded at the tranquilizer gun "I’er dose"

"I can arrange that" Reaching into his blazer pocket, the man withdrew a cell phone and held it out "I’ll call you when it’s ready A nurammed into it"

Dennis pocketed the phone "Don’t you think you should giveto be partners?"

Another of those tight smiles formed "The name’s Emrys"

Chapter 16

A her 9mm holsters around her hips "Thank you"

He smiled, slid his hands to her waist, and placed a tender kiss on her lips "My pleasure" Kneeling before her, he took the thin leather straps at the bottoh and tied theled at his touch

He looked up at her as he did the same with the other "Soifted ones possess more advanced DNA because we are descendants of aliens"<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
