Old The voice on the other end was distorted. Some kind of voice changing technology. So, it was hard to make out of the voice was male or female young or old. ¡°Scarlet MacAleister. I have a job for you.¡±
New Scarlett MacAleister
The redheaded vampire stood astride her motorcycle, having been parked along the side of the street near the Midnight Club as she reminisced about her time with Tempest. With the phone raised to her ear, she heard the electronically altered voice offer her a job, immediately raising red flags for a couple of reasons.
One -- The phone number generally in circulation for her detective business was not her cellphone. It rang to a landline in her office at her main home and Snow, her assistant, generally screened calls and contacted her to discuss potential clients.
Two -- Why was someone trying to disguise their voice? Unless it was recognizable to Scarlett.?
Three -- She receives this mysterious call just minutes after Tempest made her presence known through another call in which she appeared to threaten revenge upon the redhead.
Scarlett was quiet for a moment, then responded, knowing full well this might be a trap. "What job? Who is this?"
