glanced over her shoulder as she merged into the exit lane on the highway. “And now, I have two super sexy men in my car who claim to be the same supernatural creatures that I often create in my own fantasies. It’s a lot to take in.”
     
    Christopher had the good sense to look sheepish while Giovanni took the compliment in stride, inflating his ego. “You’re rather sexy and intriguing yourself, Sophie.” Gio added with a mischievous grin. “I’ve personally never met someone part of this world so innocent. It’s rather – refreshing.” He picked up his phone and began dialing a number.
     
    Sophie felt heat rise up the back of her neck and color her cheek. The vampire had a way with words.
     
    “Who are you calling?” Christopher asked in an agitated tone.
     
    “The council. We need to find out more about the attack on your sister. Like I said, we take death very seriously. I’ll have some representatives from local law enforcement meet us at Sophie’s house,” as an afterthought, “if that is agreeable with you, my dear?”
     
    Sophie felt the heat grow. He was so comfortable with those terms of endearment, and the way he spoke reminded her of Old English. He made her uncomfortable, in a good way. She shrugged. “I guess that’s okay. The address is…”
     
    “We all know where you live, we just never knew you existed. Your mother did an admirable job of protecting you.” He said this with a light of admiration in his eyes. “Yes, Nicolai, I need you to gather the available members of the council and send them to the Waters’ house.” As abruptly as he started the conversation he ended it by closing the phone. “Now, another thing that troubles me, Christopher, is how you decided to look for Sophie since you’re not a resident of Mystery?”

    “What do you mean?” Christopher feigned innocence. 
     
    Perhaps it was for Sophie’s benefit, but Gio saw right through his façade. He'd come face to face with a few nephilim in his time and they weren't the angels people thought they were. "Please don’t play stupid with me. I know all the supernaturals in this town, hazard of the job. And you, Christopher, are not on any of my lists." It was his way of keeping track of the supernaturals in this town and had been extremely effective over the years. There hadn't been an angel hybrid in town for over thirty years. "Are you connected to someone I know? Is that why you were able to find Sophie, how you knew her mother had passed?”
     
    “I doubt it. I don’t get along with vampires. Emery, my sister’s new friend, told me to find Sophie." Christopher unlatched his seat belt and turned narrowed eyes on Giovanni. "Are you done interrogating me?”
     
    “Yes.” Sophie answered quickly. This entire situation was making her uncomfortable and she was ready to move things along.
     
    “Not yet.” Gio interjected. “How did you know to look for her at my club?”
     
    It was a good question, Sophie thought. She had never been there before.
     
    “Giovanni’s is the most popular supernatural hangout in town, right?” Christopher answered his question with a question of his own.
     
    Gio hated it when people did that. “One of them, yes. But Sophie has never been to my club,” Gio tossed a look to Sophie, “have you?”
     
    “No.” Was he reading her thoughts? She wanted to ask, but instead kept quiet. Adding to the conversation was only going to make it run longer.
     
    “We have our ways.” Christopher stated, crossing his arms over his chest. His body language made it clear he wasn't interested in continuing this conversation either.
     
    “I’m afraid that’s not good enough.” Gio stated coldly, un-clicking his own seat belt, readying for a fight that might just break out when they exited the vehicle.
    Christopher turned to face him again. “Who died and made you
