18: Late Drink with Vampire Lawyer

Then just like what Terek said to his secret lover that he was protecting, he had to play with another prey and kill just to cover up what they'd talked about before he went back to his brother's side. ICE and Sabrina kept watching it until ICE make some notes before commanding her AI system.

"AI EM, find everything about that lady now. Bring her to me." ICE went into a serious mode when she commanded her AI system.

"I'll help you out." Sabrina said with a collected voice and ICE knew very well that tone. Sabrina was totally going to do it whether she agreed or not. That's how stubborn she could be whenever she set her mind to something else intriguing for her.

"Are you sure?" ICE still wanted to make sure about her decision.

"I want to see things for myself and I want to help them especially, their child." Sabrina seriously responded while nodding.

"That's what I am planning about." ICE smirked and let Sabrina join her on the board for this case.

Sabrina and ICE began tracking the lady's whereabouts while they were keeping tabs on the Bad Brothers through Earl's updates. But while they were making plans, they both didn't notice that it was totally late and Sabrina was already yawning.

"Go upstairs. I will finish this." ICE seriously told Sabrina who was fighting the drowsiness occurring in her eyes.

"But…" Sabrina yawned again and it prevented her from saying something to her.

"You know where my room is, though, I am not sure how can you find it. But yeah, head to my room and rest there." She chuckled and stopped from what she was writing down to meet the sleepy heir of the Marques household.

"You sounded like I'm having a sensitive nose to find your bedroom." She pouted that making ICE to chuckled and nodded. Sabrina glared at her.

"Well, ever since we were teenagers you easily could find me whenever you come back home from school." She reasoned while smirking as she recalled those moments when they were still young.

"Well, that's the power of love - I mean…ahm…I just know you…" Sabrina defended but caught herself and stuttered while blushing. She was indirectly confessing to her again and she felt embarrassed all of a sudden.

"If you say so, but I'd rather believe that it was about love finding its way to me." ICE teased as she winked on her way. Sabrina blushed more as she rolled her eyes from meeting her piercing blue eyes that she loves.

"Why you?!" Sabrina pouted and failed to glare due to her visible red cheeks. ICE found it amusing but didn't tease her about it.

"Go ahead, milady. Take a rest in my bedroom." ICE just ushered her to go and have some rest since she was not like her - a vampire.

"Fine, don't skip things to me regarding this case, or else, you'll meet my wrath." Sabrina sighed but she gave ICE a warning glare in case she was being left in the shadow about the case that they were starting to solve together.

"Yes, babe." ICE winked at her and Sabrina jolted up.

"Babe?! Whatever. Night." Sabrina was caught off guard but waved it off and get up from her seat.

"Night, Babe." ICE smiled and was about to get back on her work when Sabrina went to her side. Sabrina forced her to face her and place a very passionate kiss on her lips that ICE didn't hesitate on returning.

"Night, hubby." Sabrina leaned her forehead to ICE before leaving her to finish what they'd started.

ICE watched Sabrina's retreating back vanished around her office at the underground quarters that she created. When it was fully gone, her loving smile also halted and went into her dangerous self.

"EM, lady's location." ICE coldly and seriously commanded her AI EM.

'DEMar Hotel. She's working there as a full-time receptionist. But since her salary could not meet her loans, she was forced to work at night at the local restaurant not far from NeonLights District.'

"Time of her schedules." She wondered while making notes that only she could understand.

'Her morning shift at DEMar Hotel is from 9 to 6. Then her shift to the restaurant was 8 to closing that's why Terek managed to corner her one time.'

"Any added news about her status?" she asked more while checking every footage where the lady was heading to.

'She was having the same routine including sending her child to daycare and its nanny will pick him up till she gets back home. She made sure that her child was sleeping well and let her lesbian best friend look after her child.'

"Can that best friend really be a trusted one?" she wondered if the child was indeed benign taken care of and not being taken advantage of.

'Yes, as far as I could gather about that person, she and her lover were taking care of her child as if it was their own.'

"I see…notify Joan about arranging a meeting with her to me tomorrow. There's something I would like to discuss with her in private." ICE decided that the sooner she could arrange that issue, she could easily deal with the Bad Brothers issue as soon as possible.

'As you wish, Lady ICE.'

When ICE managed to call things off regarding that case, she let herself go to her room to check on her lady. But before she could even head to the bedroom hall, she stayed in the kitchen to grab something to drink that her vampire side was itching to taste, blood.

"Why can't you just mark her so you can tolerate being thirsty?" Lexie suddenly appeared beside her and ICE almost hit her face if she didn't catch it at all.

"GEEZ! You're giving me a heart attack there." ICE groaned from the flame on her throat because she was drinking a bloody wine.

"Do you have one?" Lexie teased but when their beloved mates were found, their hearts started to beat again and their temperatures were either cold or warm.

"Yes, I do and I am enjoying my drink that's why I could tell your mushroom ability around me again." ICE sighed as she waved her hand and drink blood wine again.

"You like it anyway." she chuckled and pour some blood wine on her glass.

"Whatever, mushroom. So, what's making you wide awake?" ICE rolled her eyes but wondered what made Lexie wide awake.

"Earl hasn't come back home and you know I couldn't sleep well when he was not around." Lexie sighed as she honestly answered her lady.

"He was checking a new case for me. It was about the BB or the Bad Brothers, does that ring a bell on you?" ICE cleared why Earl wasn't around yet at the mansion before wondering about something to Lexie.

"Who wouldn't know those assholes? But there's only one of them was a totally fishy and bad influence." Lexie sarcastically said but she went serious when she talked to a particular Evangelista that ICE knew who it was.

"Tosh Evangelista." ICE said. Lexie nodded then took a sip from her glass.

"And he was not just a rapist or homicide killer, he was working as a mafia dog. He only kills those people that their mafia boss asking him to end. He played and had sex with them regardless of their gender or age." She added that caught ICE's interest.

"Don't tell me even kids?" she curiously wondered about the last part that Lexie just had mentioned.

"From ten up." She honestly answered that snapped ICE.

"FUCKING BASTARD! I'M GONNA KILL HIM FOR GOOD AND SAVE HIS BROTHER FROM HIS DIRTY SCHEMES!" she shouted in anger but she smacked the back on her to tone it down.

ICE clicked her tongue in annoyance while rubbing the back of her head. They might be having a different ranking since Lexie Coles was just a vampire lawyer and the right hand of the Ervania household while ICE was the lady that she was serving. But they were close like sisters that's explained why they could act like that toward each other.

"You can't save his brother from being a murderer plus, he escaped with him. But I know Terek had a child with one particular woman that he was obsessed with." Lexie counted and ICE knew it but she could help by lessening its sentence.

"Yeah, I know her and I am going to meet her tomorrow with Sabrina." ICE added and Lexie nodded in understanding.

"I see but be noted that the lady needed to do her work as well at the Marquez main hotel and remember the man I told you to be careful about. He was eyeing the Marquez after learning the return of the heir." She even reminded ICE to let the Marques heiress do her job at her own hotel and check things around.

ICE nodded since Sabrina needed to make an entrance so those bastards among the directors will - hopefully, snap from what they were thinking against the Marques' hotel properties. Greedy men.

"I'll keep that in mind. Just give his face and I will make sure the police will take part in this game." ICE said before she empty her wine glass. Lexie nodded.

"Just be careful. Don't get caught as much as possible, milady." Lexie patted her shoulder as she reminded her about her safety and also emptied her own glass before putting it in the sink.

"I will. Just keep me posted about that man and I will make sure to do the rest in its chosen time." ICE smirked slyly and Lexie shivered when she saw that.

"I will. Go on now, she might have a nightmare when you promise to be there beside her while she sleeps." Lexie waved her hand as she took the empty glass from her lady and started cleaning up their short drinking moment there.

"You know us well." She chuckled.

"I'm not serving both of you for nothing even Earl could read that atmosphere between the two of you, lovebirds." Lexie winked while smirking since it was totally true. She's been serving two ladies from two different households; from the human race, the Marques, and from the vampire race, the long-lost Ervania.

"Whatever, night, Lexie." ICE waved her hand and retreat for the night.

"Night, milady." Lexie respectfully bowed until ICE's presence was no longer around the kitchen with her.
