they’d only been rounding up Harbinger, the group which had been helping Jacob. But now innocents were being targeted — Otherworlders, hybrids and humans alike, none of whom had taken a side in the war.
    Larry still had friends in the community of aliens along with those humans, like himself, who’d come to learn from the aliens, but there was nobody he trusted who was also able to track Hope. Adam would have been able to help, but Larry burned that bridge when he killed him.
    When it came to people they saw on a daily basis, Larry and Abigail had only one another.
    Larry didn’t mind so much — he’d always been a loner. But he could tell the loneliness was heavily weighing on Abigail. She didn’t have John, the man who turned her and thus forged her soul’s deepest bond, but she also had no friends or family, things most girls her age desperately needed. She and Larry got along reasonably well, but Larry felt that Abigail needed someone either closer in age, or with less twig and berries between their legs to rain a more positive, as well as a decidedly more female, influence onto her life.
    Larry turned his attention to the usual stream of news feeds and saw a mention of Karen McKenna’s disappearance right at the top. Her bodyguard was facing all sorts of questions, and “experts” were already wondering if Ms. McKenna had fled the country.
    Yeah, keep thinking that.
    A minute later, Larry was checking for updates on the newly opened portal. Of course, there was no real news. Nor was anyone calling it a portal, since few knew what they were looking at, and those who did weren’t saying shit. Larry had known what he was looking at the second he saw the footage on a video leak website.
    The portal was exactly like the one Jacob forced his brothers to help him open the year before.
    Hearing nothing from John made Larry nervous. Surely he would be working on this case — unless he had somehow gone over. Larry certainly hoped he hadn’t, though it was impossible for him to be sure. While he’d once been able to connect with John telepathically, their connection hadn’t been the same since John insisted on getting wiped and buried. There was a time he would have felt John nearby. Now, proximity meant nothing. John could be near, far or possibly dead, though Larry believed he would’ve sensed something if his best friend had died.
    He wondered if Abigail had sensed anything. If so, she hadn’t said so. Then again, her psychic link to John had been broken for a year. Larry wasn’t sure, but he suspected John had blocked Abigail from his mind to make the separation easier on the child.
    Things weren’t easy for Abigail, and though Larry was supposed to be a father figure, he felt like a worse father than Homer Simpson, and not much better than that dipshit on the news who left his kid in the hot car while he went into a strip club to get shit-faced while watching titties bounce.
    A girl Abigail’s age needed structure, but what sort of structure or normal life could a child vampire ever hope to have? It wasn’t like she could go to school or make friends.
    A sudden idea swelled Larry’s mood.
    Friends. School.
    He thought of Katya, the cute, young au pair who worked for the Radley family across the street. He’d spoken with her briefly once a few months back when she accidentally locked herself out of the house and needed help getting back inside before the family’s 2-year-old girl started crying. Larry helped her inside, and was impressed by how well she handled the sobbing child once back behind the unlocked door. She seemed like a genuinely pleasant, honest person, and someone who loved kids.
    And as luck would have it, the Radleys were moving to Connecticut soon.
    Larry rose from his seat and was about to race out the door when he caught his reflection in the living room mirror. He looked like a slob.
    Larry raced upstairs and found a decent button down white shirt — wrinkled, but acceptable. He
