The only time patience had ever been one of my virtues was during a hunt. And even then it was only because the ending was a foregone conclusion. Nothing about my current situation was known.
I wasn’t handling it well.
A storm was brewing. I could feel it on the horizon, lurking. Ominous.
Of course it is, you dolt. The Apocalypse is coming.
My phone buzzed in my pocket, nearly sending me eight feet into the air. I’d been so in my head that I hadn’t been prepared for its alert. Feeling foolish, I pulled it free and glanced at the screen.
Unknown.
My heart galloped, and my hands trembled as I answered the call.
“Sunday?” Desperation bled into that one word.
A soft huff of laughter—masculine laughter—sent ice through me. “Sorry to disappoint. It’s your friendly neighborhood hacker.”
“Asher? How did you get my number?” Suspicion worked its way to the forefront of my mind.
“What part of hacker are you having trouble with?”
“The part where it took you three pissing days to find anything out. I thought you were supposed to be the best. That hardly seems like an impressive turnaround. Mediocre perhaps. Crap more like.”
There was a beat of silence before Asher’s voice, hard and unamused, came through the tiny speaker. “Do you want my good news or not,mate?”
“Out with it then.”
“I’ve got a lead on them. The last CCTV footage I found was at a private airfield in Dublin.”
I gritted my teeth against the wave of rage his words caused. Ireland. Of course it was Ireland. The self-loathing arse just couldn’t help himself. “And now? Where are they?”
“That’s something I’m still working on. But I don’t have the details yet.”
“Why not?”
“Fuck, you vampires are so goddamned demanding. I like working with shifters so much better.”
My answer was nothing more than a snarl. “Trust me, you’d be singing a different tune if Kingston was on the other end of the line.”
“That’s the Farrell kid, right?”
I stiffened. “How do you know that?”
His laugh had me clenching my jaw. “I like to look into the people I’m working for. Call it due diligence.”
“Just because you’ve built a name for yourself sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong doesn’t give you the right to spy on us.”
“Buddy, the reason I’m so good at what I do is that most people don’t ever learn my name, let alone get direct access.”
“Lucky me.”
“Yes. Exactly. Glad we see eye to eye on this subject. Now we know she was in Dublin three days ago.”
“She could be anywhere by now—”
“I’m working on tracking her whereabouts after that, but we have a jumping-off point. I’ll be in touch.”
“Wait a goddamn minute, you fucking bastard—”
