They got back to the Sanctuary and had a quick briefing in the Council room. Ravel said that all of the criminals would have forty-eight hours to go back into hiding or get out of the country or whatever until they were once again wanted by Sanctuaries as soon as they left the Sanctuary for good. After the meeting, Shoe was standing up on the roof with Ray-Roy. The Texan was looking out at the clear night sky in silence. He didn't know where Vendetta was so he was staying up on the roof for a bit.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Shoe said.

Ray-Roy shrugged. "I've seen better."

Shoe nodded. "Yep, nothin' beats London at night. You would like it. If ya would like, you could come back with me and my family. Kill with us and look at the night sky. Could be romantic."

Ray-Roy shook his head. "Naw I need to get back to my own life. Me and my Daddy are headed back out to our apartment. Go back to what we do best."

Shoe nodded and fought down the disappointment. Then the feeling was replaced with excitement. Not once had he mentioned Vendetta.

"There you two are."

Shoe ground her teeth and they looked behind them to see Vendetta standing with her arms crossed looking at them. She ignored Shoe and walked over to stand beside Ray-Roy.

The vampire had completely healed, not even a sign of discomfort came from her. Shoe herself had gotten a nasty bullet wound in her shoulder from return fire. It had been healed quickly and now all she was left with was a slightly stiff muscle that was already getting better. Vendetta had taken a shower as well and her long black hair shone and her electric blue eyes reflected the moonlight.

Shoe could practically Ray-Roy drooling.

Vendetta looked out at Roarhaven. She didn't speak. Shoe moved closer to Ray-Roy.

"Ray-Roy and I were just discussing what we were going to do now," she said. "Right Ray-Roy?"

"Yep," Ray-Roy said cheerfully, beaming at the vampire. "Where were ya Pretty Lady? I was wonderin' where ya went."

"Shut up."

"Ah come on."

"You know I don't like conversation."

"You can make one exception."

"Shut up."

Shoe, seeing she wasn't going to be getting a break at any time soon, turned around and headed back into the Sanctuary. She walked around until she found her father and brother in a room off to the side. Jack was annoying Dusk while Scratch and Sanguine chatted.

Scratch looked up when she came in. "Hey Shoe, where'd ya come from?"

"The roof," she said.

"Of course."

"Did you see Ray-Roy anywhere?" Sanguine asked her. "I haven't seen him and I wanted to make sure Vendetta didn't throw him in front of a bus."

"He's up on the roof with her."

Sanguine frowned. "What were they doin'?"

"Vendetta was getting' mad and Ray-Roy was amusing himself."

"Oh no."

Just then Vendetta walked in.

"Vendetta!"

Vendetta looked at Sanguine.

"Where's my son? You didn't push him off the roof or somethin' did ya?"

"No."

"Where is he then?"

"He went to get a burger."

"Oh."

Vendetta walked over and stood next to her father. Shoe glared at her. "So," the monster said. "What are ya gonna be doin' now Vendetta."

Vendetta snapped her head around to look at her. Her body had suddenly gone ridged. "Why do you want to know?"

Shoe shrugged. "Just curious. And why are you so paranoid? It's just conversation."

Vendetta's gaze smoldered. A growl started deep in her throat.

"Uh," Scratch said. "Sis, I'm not so sure ya want to be doin' this."

Shoe ignored him. "What's wrong vampy? Is the reason ya don't talk because you don't know how to have a conversation?"

"Get out while I'm still controlling myself," Vendetta's voice was scarily calm.

"I thought you took your serum. Are you sure you can be let off your leash vampy?"

Vendetta slammed into her and they went down snarling. Immediately, Dusk and Jack ended up trying to pry them apart.

"Vendetta," Dusk snapped. "What is going on? I know Jack and I don't get along but that doesn't mean you have to go at his daughter."

"It isn't that," Vendetta snarled, struggling to break free.

"Then why?"

"Because she likes Ray-Roy!"

Everyone stopped and looked at her. Vendetta went quiet.

"Vendetta," Dusk said. "Later, we are going to have a talk."

Just at that moment, Ray-Roy walked into the room eating a burger. Everyone looked at him.

"What?" he asked; his mouth full. "D-do I got somethin' on my face?"

Vendetta wrenched her arms from Dusk's grip stomped past Shoe, shoved Ray-Roy out of the way and walked out of the room.
