Chapter 177
The next morning Katelina took a shower, packed, and then reluctantly let Jorick take her to the sixth floor restaurant. Oren accompanied them, probably to make sure that Jorick didn't get distracted.
Katelina ate quickly, and the vampires each had two glasses of blood. When they returned to their room, they found a notice stuck to the door that said they were free to go. It was marked with a symbol that looked like the Executioner's necklaces. Jorick said it was Malick's seal. She thought it ironic that the Executioners seemed to wear it as a badge of honor when it seemed more like a mark of ownership.
Oren dashed into the room and was back in the hallway with the luggage before the door could swing shut. He met Jorick's eyes and held them. Katelina didn't need to be a telepath to know that he was saying, "Let's get the hell out of here." For once, she agreed with him.
