Chapter 492

It took only one truck to carry them all. They stopped outside of town and Katelina was so hungry she didn't mind the hair. When they'd finished, they drove the hour to the airport.

It was Sorino.

The vampire gave them a cold smile. "Come now, you don't seem happy to see me. Perhaps I can sway you. I have a plane waiting on the tarmac, ready for the trip to Beijing."
