take the news. If her story was true, she’d gone to a whole lot of trouble for nothing. When he got back to the conference room, he perched on the edge of the table and flipped open his phone.
    “Kirby? Hawk here. I’ve got a job I need done. Can you do some checking on a recently turned vampire named Claire Landry? She’s from Glen Acres, Georgia. I want to know when and how she was turned. Also I need the current whereabouts of her half sister, Cassidy Landry. Supposedly she was a student at Georgia Tech University up until last November.”
    “Okay. Got it.”
    “Then see if you can locate anyone who has seen the sister recently. And look into any missing-person reports in or around Atlanta between six months to a year ago. Concentrate on young females, between the ages of eighteen and, oh, say, thirty years old.”
    “Got it. Anything else?”
    He grinned. “Charge everything to the Buchanan account.”
    “Right.”
    “And, Kirby?”
    “Yes.”
    “I need this ASAP.”
    “No problem, boss man. I’ll get right on it.”
    Hawk hung up and dialed another number.
    “Quinn? Hawk here. I’ve got some news.” He quickly relayed to Quinn everything he’d learned from Claire.
    “What do you think?”
    “I’m double-checking as much of her story as I can.”
    “Gut instinct?”
    He grunted. “I believe her. Her story makes sense, and, well, I just don’t think she’s lying.”
    “Okay. What do you think we should do?”
    “I don’t know. If she’s telling the truth, she’s in a tough spot. Damn tough. I think if we can find her sister, maybe we can get some information on Simone, both from Claire and Cassidy. And we could possibly find out more about the bloodslave operation. Who knows what we might discover. We might even be able to locate the house where they were keeping Claire and the others.”
    “I agree. Whatever information we can find out will put us ahead of the game with Simone. But if you get any hint of anything that seems off, like she’s playing you, you take care of it. You hear me?”
    “I will. When do you think you’ll be back?”
    “Probably not for another week or so.”
    “How’s everything going up there?”
    “About what you’d expect. They’re trying to feel me out. See where I stand on things.”
    “If they don’t know that by now, they never will.”
    Quinn laughed. “Ain’t it the truth?”
    “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything here. You just watch your back up there.”
    “I will. Be careful, Hawk. Call me if you find out anything else.”
    Hawk hung up. He wasn’t exactly sure why he felt so compelled to help Claire, or why he was so drawn to her.
    He thought it was because she reminded him a little bit of his wife. She didn’t look like her, of course. Ahawi had been petite but curvy, with big, dark eyes and hair so black it looked blue in certain lights. No, Claire was taller, boyishly slender. She hardly had any breasts or hips. Her blue eyes were the color of the cloudless days he remembered from his youth and her hair a pale blonde. But her love for her sister, her passion, her determination to find her no matter what it took, were so much as Ahawi would have reacted. He felt himself pulled to her in a way unlike any woman since he’d been turned.
    Unfortunately, he shouldn’t let himself get personally involved with her. Even if they had met under different circumstances, it wouldn’t have worked out between them. He liked his sex rough. Very rough. And he suspected that Claire had limited sexual experience and would probably run screaming from him if she had any idea at all what he would want from her if she ever found herself in his bed.
    So he’d keep her at arm’s length and keep everything between them professional. He wanted to find out what Kirby turned up in her report on Claire and her sister. She’d given him a lot of very specific details that should be easy enough to check out. He had a feeling, though, that everything
