Drew

It&039;s well past two aone to voices are going well there the wolvesall over our pristine inn Ugh If the daood, I wouldn&039;t see the need to keep the species around

Rafe informed me of Pat&039;s close call in the woods before he and Viv left for Buenos Aires I&039; Were is fine; wolves heal alured out which e sooner than the season allows

I pace back and forth in our suite, debating on calling Rafe since I haven&039;t heard froo and, while I would nor apprehension trickles throughher direct could rile her up and piss her off ht settle the discorateful Chelly went downstairs to watch aood head on her shoulders, that one

Decisionhe&039;s thea volatilenew in a seethe, no matter where you are They don&039;t become the masters of a seethe because they&039;re pushovers

After a few rings, the calm tones of the huohimself from the source of the music

"I hadn&039;t heard fro, unsure where the nervousness is originating

"We landed a while ago and are currently holding our own at the event"

"Is Vivian okay? I think I&039;h our connection Like she&039;s anxious"

"You &039;think&039;?" he asks, puzzlement in his tone "Wouldn&039;t you be sure of your connection with her by now?"

I shake ether what I ht now-unsure and slightly out of sorts But I&039;ve never felt such agitation through the link before That&039;s why I&039; frohs, and I hear a door shut, itation is co as well as she normally does There are a lot of people here who dislikewith Coraline?"

Rafe is silent atohow much he should tell me, I&039;m not sure "One nauy named Jonah - possibly for the same reason And three or four others who hide their hate and dislike rather poorly, but I don&039;t know their na from the sidelines"

I&039;ve never understood the grudges some of these older vamps hold onto The hardest part in vahted enough to make them want to bury a stake in your back when you aren&039;t looking

"That seems like an awful lot in so little tiht?"

Rafe barks out a short laugh "My lovely wife has had more than four centuries to make enemies of these bastards-even I don&039;t know all her exploits"

I stoparea "What do you plan to do?"

A heavy sigh coht, as far as I can tell I&039; A few may stay for entreaties to the Tribunal"

Vivian briefed us that some seethe masters come to these events to play "court", sio Hobnobbing and e for a seethe transfer of a lower va powerful undead, or for so a business loan from the Tribunal

"Do you knohen you&039;ll be back?"

"We&039;re still not sure, but the aniht to narrow the suspect pool"

"Getting Coraline alonethat Vivian could use her mind powers to force the information out of the blond vamp

"We&039;ve discussed that, too But she gering it so close to where the wielderblind? And you two are winging it?"

An edge creeps into Rafe&039;s voice, "My wife and I have other strengths to get a job done, Drew"

"Right I&039; I&039; up this call with Vivian right now

"Have you connected with Asa or Jon yet?" Rafe asks, clearly willing to change the topic as well

"No, both calls went to their voicerunt sounds at the end of the line "Give them an hour, and if you don&039;t hear from them, call Cy"

"Sir?"

"Jon and Asa are both responsible It&039;s not nor would ensure he&039;d call back asap, if he could"

A cold coils through ht "Do you think so happened to the, but we have protocols in place for a reason If you don&039;t hear from them, assume the worst and call in backup"

"Cy is pretty far away"
