would be more important you stay here,” Abby countered, looking to Tah for confirmation.
    Reno was Tah’s right hand and the head of security. It was his job to make sure everyone was safe, especially Tah and Abby. But there was something inside him urging him to go, something similar to how he’d felt when he’d woken up in that hospital room and knew he had to find Tah.
    “Logan and Tah will be here. Zane can step up and fill in for me. He’s the one who’s been helping me work on getting the sensors up. Finn knows the system as well. He’ll keep working on the cameras, and Vic has the monitors set up and going so we keep eyes up. Kenzie and Holt can jump in anywhere you need them.”
    “What about me?” Murphy demanded, making Reno laugh.
    “You’re the craziest of the bunch by far,” Reno assured him, and the man’s chest puffed out as if that were a compliment. “I think you’re pretty good at watching and fitting into any job you’re needed on.”
    Reno kept his gaze on Murphy and didn’t miss the flare of surprise the other man quickly hid. Oh, yeah, there was more to Murphy than met the eye.
    “Besides,” Reno assured Abby, settling his gaze back on her and Tah. “I’ll be faster on my own. Tah knows I’m the most logical choice we have right now.”
    Tah nodded. “He’s right. He’s the best choice for this. We can’t wait. This is as important as increasing security around here. We can’t have another incident like we did with Harlan Jones.”
    Reno watched Abby shudder at the reminder of the man who had killed her parents and stalked her for most of her life. Harlan had almost killed Tah when he’d shown up with a group of men and a plan to take both Abby and Tah prisoners. He’d managed to shoot Tah and grab Abby before Reno had snapped his neck and killed him. Reno knew through Tah that Abby still had nightmares sometimes, where she woke up screaming. It worried Tah. Reno, too. How much more were these two supposed to handle? A lot if they didn’t start getting some actual answers. Hell, even the legend seemed to grow and change the more Abby and the Professor dug into it. It was anyone’s guess what was truth and what was storytelling.
    “I think it’s a good idea then,” Professor Mueller spoke up.
    Reno grinned as Tah growled and Abby patted her mate’s arm. The Professor always seemed to rub Tah wrong, especially when he was after samples of blood, saliva and semen. It was enough to drive Tah insane and make Reno laugh his head off. The Professor had no fear. Absolutely brilliant, but no sense of self-preservation.
    He walked over and patted Abby on the arm. “We’ll get Reno up to speed on what you’ve uncovered and see him on his way.” He turned back to the rest of the room, and Reno knew what the Professor was going to say even before he opened his mouth. “Since you’re all in here, why don’t you each stop by the lab and give some blood before you head back to wherever.” He waved his hands.
    There was a collective groan around the room. Reno swore the Professor must have been a vampire in a previous life, and agreed with Logan’s nickname for him—the Vampire King. The man was constantly running tests on their blood. He never mentioned what he was looking for, or even if he found anything, but he was always requesting more.
    “Reno.”
    He glanced over at Tah, lifting his brow in silent question.
    “Stay,” Tah said as the others began trickling out past the Professor.
    “Don’t think to stay away from my lab,” Professor Mueller warned Reno as he walked over to him. “I’ll want a few more samples from you before you go.”
    Before Reno realized what the man had in mind, the Professor pulled Reno’s head down and poked at his teeth, his canines to be exact. He yanked his head back and snapped his teeth together with a click.
    The Professor just looked at him, hummed under his breath, then turned and walked away, mumbling to himself. Brilliant and
