Moose kept going, “The other two, they didn’t like that shit, seein’ as they didn’t get their asses fucked, but they did get fed from and wanted the other with it. Now, I don’t give a shit what a body’s gotta do to get off. I just got tweaked when they were talkin’ about bein’ fed from. So I paid attention. They didn’t say much more, seein’ as they got into a bitch slappin’ fight. Middle of this, some big dude walks in and gives them a look. They all immediately go docile and follow him out.”

“Vampire?” Lucien asked.

“I didn’t know, but I guessed and followed them,” Moose replied. “Since vamps can sense things, didn’t get close enough to watch, not that I’d wanna see that shit. But between me kickin’ the snot outta them and bringin’ them here, they spilled the dude was vamp.”

“Shit, Moose,” Abel clipped. “You followed a vampire without backup?”

“Yeah,” Moose retorted curtly. “And it’s good I did, seein’ as he had three boy toys to take his concentration so he didn’t make me, even if I stayed distant, because now I know where the motherfucker is stayin’. It’s far enough to be off compound radar, but it’s still close. I been watchin’ and followin’ for days now so I also know that these assholes”—he swung an arm out to the men again—“are his human eyes and ears on the compound. Not only that, they pass some shit to some dude named Bjorn in the compound.”

“This is all very good information, Moose,” Callum stated. “But that doesn’t explain why they aren’t in very good condition and are here instead of simply you being here reporting this to us so we could utilize this intelligence and they could stay in play.”

“They made me,” Moose explained. “Tried to jump me.” He shrugged. “That didn’t work out too good for them.”

Abel looked back to the kids, thinking Moose was not wrong.

“Did you get the vampire’s name?” Callum asked.

“They called him Miko,” Moose answered.

“You have an address on where he’s staying?” Lucien asked.

“Already gave that to Stephanie. She’s been and gone, took off with it,” Moose told him.

Lucien stepped back, pulling his phone out of his pocket, and murmured, “I’ll give her a call.”

Callum turned to Abel. “We need them back in play.”

“Say what?” Moose asked, and Callum turned back to him.

“We’ll brief you later,” he said and again gave his attention to Abel. “Make up a story as to why they’re in the shape they’re in, erase all memory of Moose and their visit to the compound, and get them back in play. Once they’re set loose, they need to get the vampire away from where he’s staying so we can set up electronic surveillance.”
