“Notusthough,” Jasmine said.
“No. We go after the fully incorrigible vampires who kill without conscious.”
“I’ll see you at dinner time then? After Gareth retires to his room, we’ll take him down, right?” Jasmine asked.
* * *
“Absolutely.”Stasio almost wished he was an assassin and could work with her. But not all “rogues” were that bad. Look at him and his friends. They weren’t murderous vampires on the loose, killing humans or other vampires on a whim. They just…broke some of the rules. Some of them that needed to be broken.
He suspected Levka and the others would not be happy with him when he returned to the room and told him he was now playing the role of an assassin who was taking down his cousin while working with the beautiful assassin vampiress. He needed to tell them about Pierre too.
“I’m off to learn where Pierre is staying,” Jasmine said.
“Does he know you by sight?” Stasio asked.
“Yes. Whenever he has been after my targets, he knows just who I am.”
“Has he seen you here yet?”
“I don’t know. He may already know I’m here. I wonder if he’s getting a list of the names of the people I’m after. That he has got some intel from the league I work for,” she said.
“It sure sounds like he might. Too bad such behavior wouldn’t label him a rogue and we could eliminate him.”
“You don’t know how often I’ve wished that! I’m going to run up to my room and I’ll see you for dinner at six?”
“Yeah, sure, meet you down at the lobby or the restaurant?”
“The restaurant.”
“See you then.”
Jasmine left and Stasio headed to his room. When he reached it, Arman and Ruric were talking and both raised their brows at him as he walked into the room.
Since Caitlin and Levka were a couple now, they had the adjoining room.
“Levka said he wants a meeting with all of us as soon as you were free,” Ruric said. “At least the little assassin is pretty. Worth a kiss or two.”
Arman shook his head. “You’re going to get us all into a lot of hot water.”
“She doesn’t know the league considers us rogues,” Stasio said. Which was the only good thing going for them right now.
“And if she learns of it?” Ruric asked.
“Maybe the kiss they shared was a way to seal a bargain. A compromise, his freedom with a warning, should she learn who we really are,” Arman said, “but would that save any of us?”
Stasio realized they’d been watching the two of them kissing. Was nothing sacred? He telepathically communicated to Levka,“I’m here, if you are ready to meet.”
“Come.”
“Come on,” Stasio said to his companions. “It’s time to plan what we’re going to do next.”
When they entered the room, Levka motioned to the sitting area where Caitlin was sitting on a loveseat. Everyone else took seats on the sofa and chairs, but Levka who stood behind Caitlin. Stasio knew Levka was agitated, though his expression was solemn, but he would be sitting beside Caitlin if he were truly at ease.
“I wish you could cast a spell on Jasmine,” Levka finally said to Caitlin, “but none of your witch’s spells are useful against a vampire, no matter what you try.”
“I can make her fall in love with someone,” Caitlin reminded him.
Levka snorted. “As if that would help us.”
