barely concealed, out of sight of herself and Rylan.
Pity, she mused. Then she shrugged, there would be plenty of time for introductions later.
Ruthie and I have a handle on Gav, Rylan said tersely. At the way Simeon s eyes lit up she realized the
vampire understood the barely concealed impatience in her lover s tone.
Ruthie giving you hell, eh?You go girl ! he called through the comm, their ruse of no effect whatsoever.
Shut up, Si, or I ll bash that good-looking face of yours in when we return.
Ruthie listened in shamelessly as she heard a feminine shriek from the other side of the unit, and a pretty
woman with light brown eyes and honey-brown hair came into view. She had what appeared to be a
blue sheet wrapped around her and Ruthie found herself nodding in admiration.
Not only did the human woman have spunk, something she knew from personal experience was
completely necessary when dealing with Montague men, but she also seemed to possess a keen sense of
self.
Utterly unselfconsciously, she pushed Simeon aside and let rip into Rylan. Ruthie felt her admiration for
Clare rise even further.
Don t you dare threaten Simeon, Rylan Montague! We both know you re just trying to act like the
macho moron and beat your damn chest like some freaking he-man! Well, you can quit it! At least we
are here holding down the fort while you gallivant off around the galaxy. Instead of teasing my partner,
you can politely tell us whatever the hell it is you called for.
Ruthie grinned as she wrapped herself in Gavreel s dark green sheets. She had no idea what a he-man
was, but the whole damn conversation was beginning to look like an awful lot of fun, and besides, she
never gave up an opportunity to upstage Rylan. It simply wasn t healthy for either her ego or their
relationship.
As Rylan spluttered, desperately trying to explain and soothe his sister-in-law, Ruthie crawled out of the
bed and came over to where Rylan stood. She moved his arm, so she and not he was in the picture.
Hi there, Clare, Ruthie said cheerily. She smiled wider as the pretty young woman stared at her as
curiously as she had been staring earlier. I m Ruthie. I have a feeling we ll be dealing together with these
boys a lot later on. We tracked down Gav, he seems to have met up with a vampiress called
Chandra Ruthie cocked an eyebrow as Clare audibly gasped. She paused, but when Clare didn t
interrupt her further, she continued.
They seem to be working together, amicably by the looks of it. Gav has headed out quite willingly on a
ship she hired under her own name, so it s not like they are trying to hide or anything, and they re headed
for somewhere called Klampor. I don t know if that s the planet or solar system or what, but that s what
we have. They hid their coordinates, so unless we want to be doing a tiny bit of semi-legal hacking, which
I professionally wouldn t recommend unless we think they re in danger and are willing to deal with the
Security Force guys, we need to look up this place.
Ruthie watched as Clare nodded, a serious look in her eyes.
I am fairly adept at research over here, and I have Alderic to help me if needed,

And me! an indignant shout could be heard from the background. Both Clare and Ruthie smiled at
each other.
And I suppose the Montague twins might be of use.
Oh yes, Clare agreed with a gleam in her eye. Ruthie liked her new friend more and more. Montague
men have a number of uses, she agreed cheekily. Ruthie chuckled.
It s very late, so we really should be heading off. Sorry to disturb you, Ruthie apologized genuinely.
Oh, we were only lazing about because no one else was here. It s nearly brunch time anyway.
Ruthie nodded. We will head out tomorrow, but we will likely be late. Don t wait up.
Oh, Clare said, a wicked gleam in her eye, we won t!
Both women laughed and Ruthie severed the connection. She turned and saw Rylan, a grumpy but
resigned expression on his face.
