Part 6
"Do we trust him?" Quinn's home was dry.
Rashel's eyes rolled. "Get over it."
Ethan had left to talk to Tiegra about Susanna's disappearance. In his glory days, Ethan had been as bad as Morgead and Jez, older and worse than Quinn. He'd been one of the Night World's top assassins. Then one day, he'd suddenly switched sides. No one knew why. It had *something* to do with Tiegra and Susanna, Rashel was certain of it.
Most of the other vampire hunters, and Circle Daybreak were relieved to have Ethan with then rather than with the Night World.
"Why would Ethan want to hurt his own girlfriend?" Monica asked from her seat on the couch.
Quinn shrugged. "Everyone knows Susanna's on the Night World's Ten Most Wanted list. Maybe he's a spy for *them* and has been biding his time."
There was an uncomfortable silence. Even though Rashel didn't want to admit it Quinn might be right.
"But if we accuse him of it, he'll just deny it," Jez said flatly.
"So we spy on him, keep an eye on him, follow him," Morgead said with a shrug. "What else can we do?"
No one answered. There were a number of possibilities for what had happened to Susanna, and not one of them seemed to know the first place to begin looking.
And the idea of Ethan being a Night world spy on top of it all just made the situation even more difficult.
"There's not much we can do until we hear from Tiegra," Rashel said finally. "Let's see if she has anything useful to tell us and we'll see where to go from there."
