Page 35 of Beauty At Stake
“Do you know what Witch clan she's from? Perhaps you saw her use her power?”
“No. I only recognized it inside her.”
“What did she command you to do?”
“I was to oversee her vampire hunters and help them if necessary. When they caught Bite Witches, I had to deliver them to her.”
I looked at Star. “He's innocent.”
He grimaced. “Keep going. We don't know that for sure.”
“Did you, at any time, want to capture Bite Witches?” I asked.
“No.”
“Where exactly would your summoner meet you to take the Bite Witches from you?”
The men went still.
“Wherever she told me to take them,” Losuc said. “It was different every time.”
“Where did you take the last Witch or group of Witches?”
“A rice field outside Phuket.”
“Sounds random,” I murmured. Then I asked, “How do you contact her when you have a delivery?”
“I don't. She summons me or calls my cell phone.”
“With a burner, if she's smart,” Kill said.
“Shit!” Star hissed.
“Where was the first place she summoned you to?” I asked Losuc.
“A room with stone walls.”
“Where was the room?”
“I don't know.”
“Oh, this bitch is good,” Killian muttered.
“What about the vampire hunters you took from us?” I asked. “Where did you deliver them?”
“To her.”
I rolled my eyes at the other men before asking, “Is she in charge of the vampire hunters?”
“I think so.”
“Is there anything else you can tell us about her? Any details you saw that might help us find her or the room she was in?”
Losuc stared at me. I was about to ask him again when he said, “I remember smelling beeswax.”
“Beeswax?” Killian scowled.
“Beeswax,” I murmured. “Perhaps a spell ingredient.”
