“And you’re a werewolf too?” I asked.
He nodded. “Unfortunately.”
I wanted to ask him to elaborate when I saw the guys coming out of the house, weapons in hand, but walking slowly.
They got into the SUV.
“Fucking empty,” Psycho snarled.
My eyes widened. “Are you serious?”
Menace spit a wad of chew out onto the street before he closed the door. “Yup. All cleared out, no furniture, nothin’. Not even a sign they were there. Just the faint scent of bleach, blood, and vampire.”
“Fuck,” I groaned. “They got away.”
And they probably punished the girls left behind, and it’s all my fault. I fought tears. “The girls…” I whimpered.
“We’ll find them,” Psycho promised. “I’ve made it my mission to do so.”
I furrowed my brow. I wasn’t too confident they’d be found now. The bastards were in the wind.
Chapter 12
Composite Sketch
Psycho
After we parked the SUV, I told Wizard to mass text everyone we were having church. I led Nera to Rumble and we headed inside. Strife was already behind the bar, doing liquor bottle inventory and setting up for the night. I was glad I had a reliable guy with so much brewery and bar knowledge running the place. I trusted him implicitly.
“Hey,” he greeted.
“What’s up?” I asked. “Need to place an order?”
He shook his head. “No, we’re well stocked. You want a drink, boss?”
“No, I’m good.” I looked at Nera. “Do you want one?”
“No, thank you,” she replied.
I looked into her eyes. “Are you sure? Might take the edge off.”
She seemed to be debating with herself. “Okay.”
“Great, what would ya like?” Strife asked.
“Surprise me,” she quipped.
“I know just the thing, darlin’.” He threw her a wink and went to work.
“Are you okay?” I asked her once he moved down the bar to get something.
She nodded, but her thoughts seemed to be far away. “I’ll live.”
“I should have left you here.”
“It’s not like I could have drawn you a map.” She blinked wide eyes up at me.
I didn’t know what to say to that, because it was true. Still, I could tell by her demeanor that going on that little outing today had made some part of her regress to that scared woman we’d picked up just days ago.
