Chapter 120
Oren returned with Torina and the black vampire she'd been all over at the farmhouse. Katelina learned that he was Des, the vampire Jorick had called from the restaurant pay phone, and that he'd helped Oren and Jorick with the war on Claudius long before Katelina or Patrick had gotten involved. However, his opinion of Jorick had changed in the last few days.
He sniped a few remarks, and then they got down to business. Jorick pointed to some of the papers on the table. "According to these, Kateesha met with someone from The Guild on more than one occasion. The lieutenant, as he apparently likes to call himself, claims that she had their blessing. But-"
"But, she was trying to overthrow them," Torina finished for him. "The Guild wouldn't bless that!"
A smug light gleamed in Jorick's eyes and he held up a stack of papers. "No, she wasn't."
"Really?" Des sneered. "Then why did she kidnap the human to draw the Executioners?"
