town?”
     
    “No. She loved Vegas. And she would have told me if she was leaving.”
     
    “Have you talked to the friend?”
     
    “Not since right after Jen disappeared. Amy was totally creepy about it.”
     
    “Why did you worry about Jen and Amy being together?”
     
    “Have you ever been to a nightclub called Fangs?” Haley asked.
     
    “No.”
     
    “Amy and Jen hung out there. It’s for the Goth crowd. You know, Gothic. Vampires. That kind of thing. They were at the club every night. It was okay at first. I mean, that’s the club Kyle and I go to. But then they started to get more and more into the scene. Finally Kyle fixed it so the bouncers wouldn’t let Amy and Jen in anymore. He told me to stay away from them.” Haley was twisting the pendant continuously now. “He’s really protective of me.”
     
    Skye let the last comment pass. “Why did he want you to stay away from them?”
     
    “Because Amy was really, really into the occult. And Jen started getting into it too.”

 
    Chapter Three
     
     
     
    The back of Skye’s neck tingled in awareness but the hair didn’t stand up in alarm as it had in the woods. What were the odds of two teenage girls turning up missing in Vegas, both with some link to the occult? For Haley’s sake, Skye hoped Jen didn’t end up in the same condition as Brittany Armstrong.
     
    Skye rose from the couch and retrieved the photo of Brittany from the jeans she’d left in the bathroom. When she handed the photo to Haley, she asked, “Does this girl look familiar?”
     
    Haley worried her bottom lip between her teeth as she concentrated on the picture. “Sort of.” She gave an apologetic shrug and returned the photo. “So many of the kids that come to Fangs look like that. I’m sorry. I can’t be sure. Why?”
     
    Now it was Skye’s turn to shrug. “Another missing kid.”
     
    “I’m sorry I can’t help.”
     
    “Do you know where Jen and Amy were living?”
     
    “No. They always came to the club.”
     
    “What about other clubs? Any favorites?”
     
    “I don’t know.”
     
    “Do you have a picture of your sister?”
     
    “Yes.” Once again Haley’s hand reached up and covered the pendant. “But I don’t have it with me. I…I only just decided to try and find you. I didn’t want to go back and get it.”
     
    “I’ll need a photograph of Jen before I can do much to help you.”
     
    “I’ll get you one.” Haley twisted the necklace. “I’d better go. You can find me at the club. At Fangs. Kyle and I are there every night. He doesn’t know about this. About me coming here. Please don’t say anything in front of him.”
     
    “Haley, do you think he had something to do with Jen’s disappearance?”
     
    The woman visibly startled. “Oh no. No.” Her voice was firm, confident. “It’s not that. He’s just very protective. That’s all. He doesn’t want me to get hurt.”
     
    Skye stared at the woman. Haley met the stare—a little timidly, but she met it and held it, and for a few seconds fell into the blue pools of Skye’s hypnotic eyes. “You’re sure he didn’t have anything to do with your sister’s disappearance?” Skye’s voice was whisper-soft, like a warm breeze moving through the other woman’s mind.
     
    “Yes, I’m positive,” Haley answered. And Skye knew she was telling the truth—or at least what she believed to be the truth.
     
    A blink and Haley was free. She looked at Skye and searched her memory for what they’d been talking about. “I’ll get you a photo.”
     
    “Okay. I’ll swing by the club tonight.”
     
    Haley nodded and walked over to the door. “Thanks. I forgot to thank you earlier.”
     
    Skye thought about the men in the blue Yukon and took the moment to trap Haley once again. “Have you seen the men who attacked you before?”
     
    Haley’s brows pulled together in guileless concentration. Her answer was the same under hypnosis as it had been at the bus stop. She
