Minnie was not the only one who was pacing the length of the House. I stubbed out my cigarette and stood up from the desk. I had no hope of hearing from anyone with fangs and I was nervous. I don't normally drink this early in the day but it was all I could do not to grab that bottle of Jack and have a long discussion with it.
But being sloppy drunk was not the answer to our problem. Renee was red eyed and crying. Bill was crazy, in the grips of demon pussy and religion...I could not believe our Bill would be so easily fooled. But, then again, if you don't believe in something, you will go for anything and right now Bill was going over the deep end. I wanted to drive a stake into the heart of Salome. Whoever made her needed his head examined. I almost felt sorry for her, being sold by her mother Heroditas to her husband's brother to get the head of the Baptist made Salome the golden prize winner for Slut 'o the Century. I was willing to look at it from a revisionist feminist pov....Forget it now lady...You got my Vampires between a rock and a hard place and praying over your food doesn't mean you are going to heaven...Oh, and by the way Steve...I have a better prayer for you: Good Food, Good Meat...Good God...Let's Eat....Hope you choke you supercilious prick....
Calm down Aslinn...go to your corner and chant....OOOOOmmmmmm....Fuck it...
Alcide came in about that time with his dad. I had not met this were before and I really had to have a talk with wolf boy about bringing in new people into the House. I shook hands with the were and Renee sniffed and offered to get him something to drink. He asked for a beer, and Renee hesitated but decided it was Miller Time somewhere and went got him a Bud.
"I need to talk," said Alcide. Aolani looked up from her battered copy of the Deprogrammer's Guide to Living a Nut Free Spiritual Life.
"I bet you do," said Minnie. "You have real problems with this pack and the pack is going to have real problems with Russell Edgington."
"I know," said Alcide.
"Yeah? Well what are you two big Alpha males gonna do about it?" asked Diantha, coming out of the back rooms.
"We don't know yet," said Alcide.
"Well, you may have a friend in JB if you boys will lay down your grudges and behave like you have more sense than the average mushroom," said Renee. She shook her head and sat down.
"You guys haven't heard from Bill and them?" asked Alcide.
"Have you been in cold storage?" asked Minnie. "Eric is in trouble and so is Bill."
"What?" he asked. "Why is that any different than any other time."
"Bill has gone batshit crazy and he betrayed Eric. Maybe he thinks he is saving Eric, giving him a chance to believe and repent," I said. "But he has really gotten a taste for religion in a big fucking Vampire way and I have to say, I don't like it. He is the one who came up with bombing those Tru:Blood factories and now the Vampires are going to be starving and human hunting."
"Fucking Vamps," said Alcide.
"Yeah, and Eric is now their prisoner. He was trying to get Bill and Nora out when he should have just gotten himself out and come back for them. And he made us rescind his and all our Vampire's invitations to this House," I said.
"I don't have time for this shit," said Alcide.
"Make time werewolf, who do you think has Emma?" asked Minnie.
"What?" he said. "I just heard she was missing."
"She has been given to Steve Newlin as a pet by Russell Edgington," said Minnie
"What?" he asked again.
"Yes, fucking Russell Edgington stole one of your little werewolves. So you got bigger fish to fry now," said Aolani.
Hold on...Hold to yourself...This is gonna hurt like hell.....
