Tawny Taylor Carpe Nocturne 2: Kiss Me, Kill Me - 39 -<br />

“I see. Then, no. I cannot grant your request. You heard Vrabec. There isn’t time<br />

Miko shook his head. “You’re making a mistake by keeping me here. I can’t say<br />
what’ll happen if Langton and I end up in the same room together, especially if Sylvie’s<br />
with us.”<br />
“Then you’ll just have to make sure that doesn’t happen. Where’s the woman<br />
now?”<br />
“At my house.”<br />
“Good. We’ll use her as bait to get that snake Langton to crawl out from<br />
whatever hole he’s hiding in.”<br />
“How? He knows I won’t hurt her.”<br />
“He knows you’re her second Master?”<br />
“Yes.”<br />

protection.” He crossed his arms over his chest and tapped on his lower lip with an<br />
