(Prince Dario)
The prince
listened to Scarlett and Kitty took notes of what she said about
Rancontuer. Then he listened to Luke and let out an exasperated
sigh, "Mr. Reardon, the werewolves and I do not work together on
any matters.? So if you approach them for assistance on this
matter, then you will be the translator, if you will, between
them and me."
"I am glad that
you are willing to help in this manner. I will need a direct
contact number for you before you leave tonight. That will take
care of the communication between us."
"As for the
shores, oh, I am sure that you don't know of everything or
everyone who comes ashore, and I don't think that is where
things will come as we are not even sure how the ones who are
here even got here."
?Scarlett listened and couldn't help but find Dario's tone with Luke to be condescending, but she knew how he loathed people -- especially someone with ties to the werewolves. It must have taken the prince a great deal of will to keep himself from killing Luke on the spot.
???The redhead took a business card from the pocket of her jacket and placed it on the desktop, before sliding it over to Dario. "I assume I have the blessing of the Midnight Society to continue my investigation?"
¡°Good enough,¡± Luke said. ¡°I¡¯ll see my way out.¡± He exaggerated a bow, turned in place, ¡°A pleasure,¡± he added to Scarlett.
He glanced over his shoulder at Kitty and winked.
With deliberate calm he exited the room. To one of the guards posted outside he handed his business card.
