Darkened Shadow

Shirley Ericson, a private detective grew up on the dangerous streets of Aquila and believes there is nothing left to amaze her. All that changes the night she stalled a teenager, Merry Larson into the shadows-and becomes a pawn caught in a war between two very different men. One fills her mind with his madness, the other pushes his way into her life and her heart. Shirley knows how risky love can be, but if she wishes to survive, she must position her faith in a man who could handily demolish her. Ethan Hunt has come to Aquila assumed to end the conflict between himself and another brother of the night by the name Flinch. For 400 years he has prevailed in life's darkness, slowly studying how to control the life from death of a vampire. Shirley did not only block his dangerous boundaries with her psychic capacities but makes Ethan believe that he might have found a lady that is strong enough to walk by his side and alleviate the loneliness in his heart. But will his affection be enough to shield her from a crazy man hell-bent on vengeance? Or will it steer her into his enemy's deadly ambush? For them to overcome this evil that threatens them, they must stay together, But the secrets they keep from each other might prove to be the greatest threat of all.

Two Minds, One Heart

None that we can see, beyond the fact the current three victims all attended that fundraiser. But he's not going after all the women who attended that year of school, though.

There are still at least one hundred girls living in or around Chicago, and none of them have been attacked.

So what is it about these women?

Discover that, and we'll discover our motive, I think.

Shirley glanced his way, an intent look on her face. Listening in again. He raised his mental shields a little more, and annoyance rumbled through the link, a distant but threatening thunder.

When you were going through the Chicago High records, did you find any reports about a couple of girls suiciding on a prom night?

Yeah, I did.Curiosity swam through Seline's mental tone.Why?

Just a feeling I've got. When I was talking to Seline, she said there was no alcohol in the building, yet both girls were apparently drunk. Might be worth investigating.
