I glanced at Sullivan, and he nodded. One more thing to investigate.
“And where did you meet with her?”
“In Bangkok.”
“Are you from here?”
“No, I'm from Michigan.”
“You flew to Thailand just to meet with someone who posted an ad online?”
“I spoke with her first. On Skype. She hired me after a few interviews and paid for my trip.”
“She paid for his trip?” Killian asked.
“We know this isn't just one woman,” I reminded him. “She's only a representative for a company.” I blinked, then asked Cliff, “What company does Anita work for?”
“She doesn't work. As far as I know, she's independently wealthy.”
I grimaced. “This guy thinks he's working for Batman.”
“Or Batgirl,” Killian said. Then he saw my expression. “Batwoman?”
“Better.”
“I don't think Batman would hunt vampires. It goes against the whole bat thing,” Sal drawled.
“It could be ironic,” Kill argued.
“You know what would be ironic?” Star drawled. “If a bunch of human vampire hunters outwitted us because you lot were too busy talking about fictional vampire hunters to even get through a singlefucking interrogation!”
“Yeah, Sal!” Killian scowled at her. “We're trying to work here.”
Sal rolled her eyes and waved at her king. “Sorry, Your Majesty.”
Star straightened his suit and then smoothed back his glossy hair. “Seren, could you ask Mr. White what happened after he arrived in Thailand and met with Ms. Summers?”
“Cliff, what happened after you met with Anita Summers?” I asked.
“She introduced me to the team.”
“Where?”
“At the house in Pataya.”
“And then?”
“Anita went over the evidence she had collected on vampires and what we should be looking for on a hunt.”
“Such as?”
“Extreme attractiveness. To the point where they were impossible to ignore. They'd frequent places where they could seduce humans—bars, nightclubs, and the like. They'd attract a crowd.”
“Is that all?”
“We were to find people that fit this description and follow them. Once we confirmed they drank blood and were indeed the undead, we would apprehend the vampires.”
“Apprehend?” I glanced at Killian and Star. “Not kill?”
