"Are you out of your mind?" I yelled. A few people nearby gave us surprised looks. "Do you<br />

know how much trouble you're in? How much trouble you've gotten us in?"<br />

"How the hell did you find us?" asked Mason in a low voice, glancing anxiously around.<br />

"You guys aren't exactly criminal masterminds," I told them. "Your informant at the bus station<br />

gave you away. That, and I figured out that you'd want to go off on your pointless Strigoihunting<br />

quest."<br />

The look Mason gave me revealed he still wasn't entirely happy with me. It was Mia who<br />

replied, however.<br />

"It isn't pointless."<br />

"Oh?" I demanded. "Did you kill any Strigoi? Did you even find any?"<br />

"No," admitted Eddie.<br />

"Good," I said. "You got lucky."<br />

"Why are you so against killing Strigoi?" asked Mia hotly. "Isn't that what you train for?"<br />

"I train for sane missions, not childish stunts like this."<br />

"It isn't childish," she cried. "They killed my mother. And the guardians weren't doing anything.<br />

Even their information is bad. There weren't any Strigoi in the tunnels. Probably none in the<br />

whole city."<br />

Christian looked impressed. "You found the tunnels?"<br />

"Yeah," said Eddie. "But like she said, they were useless."<br />

"We should see them before we go," Christian told me. "It'd be kind of cool, and if the data was<br />

bad, there's no danger."<br />

"No," I snapped. "We're going home. Now."<br />

Mason looked tired. "We're going to search the city again. Even you can't make us go back,<br />

Rose."
