“Just warms my heart,” Chase said, not so warmly.
“What does this guy look like?”
“He’s forty-something. Over six feet. Hasn’t let himself go to pot. Has brown hair and, like I said, has that pattern that’s just a little different.” He exhaled. “That’s all I know, so can I go now?”
“Uh, no,” Chase said.
Sam frowned. “But I didn’t do anything. I mean, yeah, I snuck into the school, but Higby or Stone or whatever you want to call him set it up. All I had to do was fly over the fence when he told me to.”
“And how did you mess with our electricity?” Burnett asked.
“He had one of his other grunt workers do something with the power lines outside your school. I … didn’t hurt anyone.”
“What info did you report back to him?” Chase asked.
“None,” the kid said.
Chase and Burnett looked at him in disbelief.
“I didn’t. I swear. You can check my phone. I was going to, but I got sidetracked by that chick. Then I saw my long-lost cousin.”
“What chick?” Burnett asked. “Did someone else come in with you?”
“No, the one that was there. Dark hair, vampire. Nice ass.”
Chase let out a growl.
The kid gave them a telephone number and the address of the bar.
“So what now?” Sam asked. “Can I leave?”
“Not yet,” Burnett said. “I’m sending in a sketch artist. Then I think we’ll keep you here for a few days.”
“But I told you all I know,” Sam said.
“Yes,” Burnett said, “but we may need you to help us snag him.”
“I didn’t agree to that.”
“You didn’t seem to like the idea of prison, either,” Burnett said.
Sam frowned. “I might as well be in prison. Why don’t you let me go back to that school? Has nicer scenery.” He smiled. “Especially that girl with the hot ass. Was her name Delia, or something like that?”
“You’re staying here,” Chase ordered.
Burnett walked up to Sam and held out his hand.
“What?” the kid said.
“Your phone,” Burnett said.
“Will I get it back?” Sam asked.
Burnett didn’t answer, and he and Chase walked out. The older vamp stopped and typed on his phone as if sending a text.
He looked at Chase. “You ever heard of that gang, the Bastards?”
“Never,” Chase said. “You?”
