back of his pants.
“Nope. You don't need a gun when you have us.” He crossed his hands over his chest, and leaned against the car.
She slammed the glove compartment closed, and got out of the car. “This conversation isn't over, Archer.” She flipped open her phone and pushed Della's number.
Stephan paced back and forth in front of her, as Dominic and Granger scanned the area. “Hey Della, it's me, Suzanne. I have a question for you.” She stepped away from the group and frowned. “What do you mean they're looking for me again? Who told them I was here?” She looked at Granger. “Okay, I'm sorry, Della. There's nothing we can do about it now. My question is, you know that vampire girl you were telling me about? Do you know her name, and where she is?”
Suzanne turned around, and gave a thumbs-up to Stephan. “Great. Listen, this is what I want you to do. I want you and her to get on the next plane to Louisiana. There will be two tickets waiting for you. You're coming here. You're not safe there anymore, and her brother is waiting for her here. He'll be at the airport waiting for you to take you to a safe place. Yes, I trust him.” Suzanne started to walk back towards the club. “Yes, I'll be careful. Love you too, and see you soon.” She shut the lid on her phone and glanced at Stephan.
“They'll need to two tickets at Newark International. I told them the tickets would be waiting for them there. They'll check into the main terminal to find what plane they will take. Stephan, your sister is in bad shape. The hormone they injected in her is taking its time coming out of her. She can move with help, but still hasn't spoken. Della has let her feed from her, but she can't keep feeding her. The Bloods are on high alert for some reason, and they are searching for her and me.”
Dominic pulled her close, and took her phone, putting it into his pocket. “I take it they know where you live?”
Suzanne nodded. “I guess someone tipped Lance. He's the one who took me from the streets. They've known where I am for two days. I'm just surprised they haven't shown up yet.” She pulled the leather coat tighter around her and leaned her head against his shoulder. “I'm scared, Dominic. I can't go back. I'd rather be dead.”
“No one is going to hurt you, Suzanne, I promise. We'll take care of it. You're not going back to your place. I'll send someone there to pack your belongings tonight.”
“What if they followed me here? They could be watching us now.” She glanced out into the night as they stepped onto the stairs leading back into the club.
Archer opened the door and pushed her inside. “Don't worry, no one…” His words stopped as a sharp pain shot through her cheek.
“Damn, what the hell?” Suzanne lifted her hand to her face, only to be swung into Dominic's arms as he ran into the club, covering her body with his.
“Archer, Granger, Stephan, find them now!” He sat her down on the table in the front hall, as Alex appeared next to him. “Get me the first aid kit, and alert security that we have a problem,” he snapped, as he lifted her chin, and removed her hand.
“I'm so sorry, Suzanne. We should have gone across the street, and left you here. This won't happen again.” He grabbed the cloth from Alex's hand, and wiped the blood from her face and hand.
“Dominic, I've had worse, and have the scars to prove it. How were you supposed to know they would be out there?” She cringed when he leaned down, licking her wound.
Anthony and Tonya came into the hallway just when Archer, Granger and Stephan came in. “We have two of them in the basement, but the other two took off before we could get them. How is she doing?” Granger moved to her. Tonya tried to come to her side, but Anthony held her still.
“I'm fine, really.” She reached up and patted Granger's cheek. “Believe me, it would take a lot more than this to scare me, but you might want to tell whoever is going to my apartment
