She arched an eyebrow "And ould I bother with such an endeavor?"

"Well, you did ainst my friends if I didn’t do what you want"

"Ah yes, I re as I desire, there is no need for such action as yet, is there, now?"

Her reply was alled the bitch, I would have

"I guess not" It was said through somewhat clenched teeth "But the fact of thedown the Jorõgumo"

"But you found two of her nests Or was the burned-out bedroom not your handiwork?"

Ito get one hell of a headache, and I suspected it wouldn’t go away in a hurry Not unless I drowned it under several gallons of alcohol, and that wasn’t particularly practical right now--even if it sounded like the best idea I’d had for ages

"What did Rhoan say in his report?"

"That so or someone destroyed what appeared to be a nest of spiders in one Ms Suiven that A? And why hadn’t I received a phone call de to knohy the hell I was even anywhere near the place given ate? He surely wouldn’t have ht outside If she was still parked outside, that was Knowing my uncle, he’d probably ordered her confiscated, just to teach me a lesson

"I burned the bastards because I didn’t think anyone would want a friggin’ nest of Jorõgu in existence," I said, with a touch more annoyance than was probably wise Just because she seemed to be a to be in any form other than spider, so it was unlikely the Directorate witches would have gotten any information out of them"

"And what about theat soht, but I don’t like our chances of catching her there"

The amusement faded Rapidly "And ould that be?"

"Because we’re not dealing with a dumb spirit here She spotted me at Hallowed Ground and did a runner She knoe’re after her"

"Just remember to contact me once you have found her," she continued, in that same sweet, do-it-or-I’ll-kill-you voice "Because I very "

Consuuts, and brain? Surely to god that wasn’t possible for a vampire to do--blood yes, but not the innards as well? And yet if any vampire could be capable of it, then it would be Hunter

Soed to keep the horror out of my voice as I said, "You’ll be the first person I call"

"I had best be the only call you make where this case is concerned"

I’d meant the comment sarcastically--it wasn’t like I could call anyone else, anyway But I didn’t bother replying I just hung up, shoved the phone away, and glanced atelse to find Ilianna, and I have no intention of going to that daot only one option left"
