  &quot;Now what!&quot; Willow thought, unknowingly saying it out loud.
  &quot;We will find out a way,&quot; Lothaire who sat beside her on the front seat of the truck replied calmly as he leaned back and relaxed.
  &quot;Yes, like that's going to happen&quot;
  &quot;Relax, Tinkerbell. No need to stress. You will wrinkle that pretty face&quot;
  &quot;You-&quot;
  &quot;Could you please watch where you drive, woman?&quot; Lothaire said loudly, getting her attention.
  Willow steered the vehicle in the nick of time just before it was about to collide with a tree.
  &quot;Sorry,&quot; Willow muttered.
  &quot;It's becoming a habit for you, doesn't it? You do it and then say sorry&quot;
  &quot;Don't grumble vampire, I said sorry&quot;
  They both kept quiet as Willow drove along. Tension rose in the ensuing silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
  &quot;Do you think the guy we met yes

  A sense of d&eacute;j&agrave; vu swept over her. This can't be happening.
  &quot;Why do you always end up bloody and dying in my truck, you idiot,&quot; Willow sobbed, as tried to get a hold of him without hurting him much.
  The silence scared her. His stillness terrifies her.
  &quot;Please Bones... don't do this to me. You can call me Tinkerbell forever, but please don't leave me. I need you Bones. You hear that you dumb rocks, I need you,&quot; Willow shouted, her body shaking with the sobs.
  Willow can't see a way to lift him without hurting him further.
  &quot;Seems like you have stuck here Bones. Good thing your meal is handy right?&quot; Willow's voice shook as she cut a deep cut near her wrist and brought it near his mouth.
  &quot;I swear vampire if you pull that stunt like before, I'm going to rip your balls out,&quot; Willow grumbled as she adjusted her wrist over his mo

  &quot;What do you think?&quot;
  &quot;About what?&quot; Willow asked her gaze, staring straight at the building.
  &quot;Do you think Elite Parker is the one behind this?&quot; Lothaire asked beside her as they looked at his hideout that they learned about last night.
  &quot;No. Call it a gut feeling... but it seems too easy, too simple. Anyone can find his location for some bucks. This doesn't add up.&quot;
  &quot;Do you think he crossed us?&quot;
  &quot;No. He is not the kind. I still can't believe you treated me like a dog before that vampire.&quot;
  &quot;Well, he didn't suspect a thing. That's what matters. And look at the bright side, you are groaning which is a better improvement over your growling&quot;
  Willow noticed his pale complexion. He is paler, much paler than normal for a vampire which means he is Low on blood.
  &quot;You are looking pale, Bones. Are you sure yo

  They both kept quiet as Willow drove along. Tension rose in the ensuing silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
  &quot;Do you think the guy we met yesterday knows anything about the king?&quot;
  &quot;No. Even if he does, he won't reveal. 

Lothaire dead?
