Ben sighs and crosses his arms. “It hardly matters. Persephone is downstairs right now, meeting new potential matches and she is going to pick one of them. You watch.”
I take aim at Ben, offering him a final chance. “Tell me where she is. Let us pass and I will spare ye.”
He stares me down. “I don’t think you will hurt us.”
Adjusting my aim just a hair, I fire a shot straight through his thigh. He makes a squawk and blood spurts out, spraying Marcia. She screams and he clamps his hands down over the bullet hole, going pale.

Ares is already checking out the house, hunting for a staircase. Marcia seems to be in shock, but he calls out. “Over here. I think this door leads downstairs.”
I look at the security guard, jerking my head toward Marcia. “Stay up here and keep watch over her. We don’t want her to get any ideas.”
“Bastards!” Ben cries. “You won’t get away with this.”
But I am already slipping out of the room, my weapon at the ready as Ares yanks the basement door open.
