any wind of anything specific going on but I know enough that if a wolf starts staring a leopard in the eye that I’m sending them back out into the mundane world. I’m not going to have that blood on my hands.”
Keegan looked over towards Matt before looking back at Diyo. “There was a murder of a leopard family. Well, technically a leopard, mundane and the half-breed child were murdered.”
“Who were the victims?” Diyo asked. “I am assuming they were someone who frequented the club?”
“ Possibly, we’re not sure. The victims were Cody and Alice Barr.” Keegan supplied. The newspapers would have photos and as much gory detail spread out on the front page in the morning. There really wasn’t a need to censor herself.
“They were good people. ” Diyo let out a deep breath as his eyes rolled towards the ceiling offering a silent apology. “Cody and Alice only made it over here every once in awhile after Connor was born. I’m assuming that is when they could manage to get a babysitter who would care for a supernatural and could stay out most of the night. Anyways, I never saw them have any trouble with any other patrons of mine. Although recently, they haven’t made an appearance in the district. I do believe that they stopped coming out a few months ago completely. They didn’t go out as often as they did since they had a run in with Mason Mills awhile back.”
“I thought he was banned from your properties?” Keegan commented with a raised brow. “After he had a little too much and started spouting off his ideas to keep different supernatural species pure.”
“Oh that was a few years ago and he was banned from this establishment. I do not tolerate that kind of trash. Even if he was a dog in every sense of the word he did grow a pair and apologize for his behavior. I gave him a second chance. Maybe that beating he took a while ago from Cody opened his eyes and realized the errors of his way? I don’t know but I wasn’t going to give him a second chance.”
“So that’s why you re -warded the building?” Keegan hummed underneath her breath a little peeved that she wasn’t informed of why she needed to alter the previous work she had completed for him.
“Who stepped up and took care re-warding the building?” Matt questioned. Both Keegan and Diyo looked at Matt curiously before Diyo spotted the notepad busting with notes and rolled his eyes at it.
“That would be your girl right there and myself.” Diyo nodded towards Keegan. “The owner must always be present at any warding.”
“Why do I get a feeling that if I ask you how you handled the situation you would just shrug it off and say it was nothing?” Matt pressed the tip of his pen into his notepad, the ink bleeding into the paper.
“ Because secrets are a girl’s best friend,” Diyo answered with a grin. “The last I heard the best place to find Mason is that sub shop on 3 rd during daylight hours. It might help you in your investigation but for what it’s worth? Besides that trouble a while back he hasn’t caused much of a ruckus. He’s changed quite a bit and for the better from what I’ve seen.”
“Thanks Diyo, I appreciate all the help.” Keegan stood and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “You need anything you’ll let me know?”
“You’ll be the first. N ow either enjoy the rest of your evening or get out of here. I don’t need you scaring away my patrons.” Diyo teased as he ushered them back out into the hall. Instead of the maze that they traveled to get to the office, it was a straight shot back to the main floor. This was a world the mundane would never understand completely. No matter how hard they tried.
Matt was smart enough to keep quiet until they got back into Keegan’s car and left the Supernatural District before he asked the question that had been bothering him since they had arrived. “What exactly are you Keegan? I can’t ever seem to pin you down.”
Keegan eyed the detecti ve out
