"Yeah Ilianna’s gone " I sat in one of the spare chairs and scooted it across to his "bridge" of computer screens "I need you to hack into either her car’s GPS signal or locate her via her phone"

He gaveexceptionally du Latitude?"

"Um, no?" Mainly because I was of the opinion that ifand ask n up for it soo?"

"Yes, but--"

"No buts I told you, it’s the easiest way ever invented to uncover where your buddiesaround, swiped one of the screens across to Google, and logged in A map of Melbourne appeared, dotted with arrowed face pics He leaned forward a little, studying all the na the screen "She’s at South Bank"

Which wasn’t that enlightening given how big the place was Although, if I reht, Carwyn had booked a table at Harvest Time--did thisincommunicado? "Where in South Bank?"

He frowned, zoo to this, she’s at Wilson’s Parking, just off Freshwater Place" He glanced up at me "It’s the riverside quay area, if you don’t know it"

"I don’t, but we’ll find it" I jumped up and dropped a kiss on his unshaven and definitely scratchy cheek "Thank you"

"No probs Just give ave Azriel another dubious look "Despite what your friend here says, rinned "I’ll send some ot the last lot yet"

"You will"

"And I’ll need it if you keep popping into existence willy-nilly Now, go find Ilianna so I can get back to "

"Done"

I stepped into Azriel’s arms and he whisked us out of there We reappeared on the center strip that divided the two lanes of Freshwater Place, the eight-story parking garage in front of us and the re wall of an old brick warehouse behind us Several cars zoorabbed Azriel’s hand and ran across the road "Can you sense her?" I asked, as we headed into the garage via the exit lane

"No" His fingers squeezed htly "But that does not nored the fear that rose with the thought and hurried on The garage had eight levels, and we found Ilianna’s car on the seventh

She wasn’t in it

I swore veheh to actually dent it

"There are security cameras dotted around this place," Azriel coest you avoid such outbursts unless you wish coed to control the somewhat insane desire to continue to take h the s instead And there, sitting on the front seat, were not only her phone, but her purse and coat as well

Ilianna one dead, but she sure as hell wouldn’t have left her purse

So had happened to her

"Da on?"

"I don’t know--"

"Neither do I," I cut in, voice bitter I leaned back against the car and closedworse Maybe we should just quit while we’re ahead"

"A sentiree with, except for the fact that Hunter, at the very least, would not be pleased by such an event"

As if on cue,And the tone told me it was Hunter

"The bitch obviously has her phone linked toit out of my pocket and hit the ANSWER button "No, I haven’t found her yet I haven’t found anyone fucking yet"

Ah it did little to lift the shadows froood one for you"

"No Ilianna has goneabout that, would you?"
