“Let’s go,” he said.
“What?” Chase climbed out.
“Della,” Burnett said. “She’s at a murder scene.”
“Stone?” Chase asked, slamming his car door and putting his keys away.
“No, Logan Powell.” He pulled out his phone and spouted out an order to someone.
“What? How did Della meet up with Powell?” Chase asked.
“Don’t know. She was short on details.” Burnett took off.
Chase took off after him.
Ten minutes later, Chase and Burnett landed in front of a large two-story house.
“Does this belong to Powell?” Burnett asked.
“I don’t know,” Chase said. “I’ve never been here.” And he sure as hell didn’t understand how Della had gotten here.
As he got closer, he spotted Della sitting on the edge of the porch. The muscle in his chest—his heart—released for the first time since he’d known she was missing.
The smell of death hit. As he moved closer, Della’s scent reached him. But then another scent hit, a weak vampire trace, meaning he was no longer on the premises, but it certainly answered the mystery of how Della had gotten here.
Eddie.
“What happened?” Burnett asked as they got closer.
Della stood up. “I don’t know, I just found him.”
Chase walked over, wanting to hold her, but her angry look stopped him. He waited for her to mention Eddie. She didn’t.
“Who was with you?” Burnett lifted his face again to draw in air.
Della’s gaze met Chase’s. He nodded.
“My uncle.”
Burnett shook his head and looked at Chase. “Did you know she was with him?”
“No,” Chase said at the same time Della did.
“I found Feng when I went looking for my father.”
“And why would he bring you here?” Burnett asked.
“I told him that Stone was Powell’s son. He thought maybe Powell could tell us where Stone was.”
Burnett looked at the door.
“Was the door broken in when you got here?”
“No, I did that.”
Burnett shook his head and exhaled loudly. “Have you touched anything else?”
She shook her head.
