"They should be on their way right now," he said as he watched the tracker in Harriet's phone. "She moved to the right location." Suddenly the signal died. "But I can't track her any further. It's up to you now." He disconnected the call and checked to see if he had any messages. An agent reported he the van was on its way, another reported telling Harriet about Mike's involvement. Risky, but could pay off.
He sent an e-mail to some of the senior staff before leaving the room.
Rudrig listened to what Rose had to say, it stung she was so afraid but there wasn't much he could do about it now. Then her confession came, which Freya had also hinted about. Maybe now was not the time to tell her he wasn't interested in her love. He did like her, but as a friend.
"Rose, we've always worked together very well and I enjoyed the time we spent together. I won't let anyone kill you, okay? Because you are dear to me. I was told you weren't going to be harmed and I trust them. So hang in there, okay? I understand this isn't easy for you, but you'll be fine."
As he talked he sat down behind his laptop and frowned when he read it. "I'm going to relocate as well," he told her, "I just got the e-mail now. I'm being transferred to another base, but I will come to visit you as soon as I can, and that's a promise."
Mike picked up the gem and turned it over a few times. "This is one of those elemental gems. Why did Freya carry them?"
"Jesus..." Benjamin muttered when he checked his phone.
"What made you religious all of the sudden?" Ethan asked and he took the cellphone from Benjamin as he handed it to him. "Fuck... Right. You and Mike pack your things and get the hell out of here. I'm spending the night in the city with agents Morrison and Barrow anyway and we'll be hiding and sneaking around for the most part of it."
"I think..." Benjamin began as he texted the type of van and the numberplate they were taken away in to Duncan, "that we should reconsider working for these guys."
"I'm not going to become a boring ghost hunter if I can be a vampire hunter," Ethan said. "I don't care what you will do, but I'm staying."
Benjamin shrugged to that. "That's fine with me. Mike and I will hide in the city too and we'll decide in the morning what we can do. I still have that appointment with that succubus in the morning and..." he let out a defeated sigh. "We have no way to track that van."
"Well..." Mike began, "in a safe location I probably could..."
"That's not here," Ethan interjected. "Get to a hotel or something. And maybe see what Freya is up to. I'm going inside, see if I can find Morrison.
They decided that was the best thing they could do right now. With the gem in Mike's pocket they followed Freya to where the vans were parked. They would probably see her driving away soon if she was indeed leaving; they had talked for a bit after all, but they would take a car of their own.
