Ryah hesitated for a moment. He was really trusting this guy, wasn't he? Even though they should have been enemies, and should have been trying to kill each other, things hadn't turned out that way. Ryah had spent his entire life believing that all vampires were evil, but perhaps that was wrong of him. To be fair, he'd never actually<i>met</i>a good vampire before. They'd always been so bloodthirsty and ruthless.<br/><br/>"I don't know how much you've heard, or how much you know about Phineas but he recently 'recruited', shall we say, a new second in command. Jackson...was one of our best hunters," Ryah began, running a hand through his hair tiredly. No one had seen it coming, of course. The loss had shaken the very core of the hunting community, and it had left many floundering. The man had had everything. A loving wife, a child he doted upon, a lot of good friends, and an incredible track record. So when he'd left a note for Cassie, telling her he was leaving her for a<i>vampire</i>, it had been devastating.<br/><br/>That had been the reason Charlie had gone looking for Jackson. She and Cassie had been good friends and she'd seen how the betrayal had hurt Cassie. Charlie had gone looking for answers, looking for revenge, but instead, she'd gotten caught. By either Jackson or Phineas himself.<br/><br/>The whole thing was such a cluster fuck. And if he were being honest with himself, Ryah sometimes felt like he was walking into a trap. They'd already lost Jackson, and now Charlie. How many more would Phin take?<br/><br/>"The only other places that my intel gave me was this new club in town. Allure, I think it's called? That or the pub at the other side of town, The Three Lamps." Ryah had been planning to check out the club first since it was closer. "Did you want to go check those out with me? I should be able to find my car in the day time now."
