    As the Lexus pulled up outside the gates, Quinn received more than one dirty look from his escort, who had come back to the Estate after losing him. He waited while Vincent unloaded the last of the packages from the trunk and drove off, then called the guards over to help carry everything in. He chuckled as he led the parade toward the front door.

    Kiara was standing outside on a balcony. She had a piece of cornbread in her mouth but the sounds coming from the grounds roused her curiosity. She looked down and sure enough the guards were bringing in several suitcases from a lexus.

    She quirked a brow as she spotted Quinn just directing people. She chuckled. Typical tiger, just giving orders. She wondered if she could get a word with him, there were matters to discuss.

    Finishing her cornbread she put on a pair of flats and went downstairs. She hoped Jessica didn't show up. That would just be awkward, to be discussing her maker's wrong doings.

    As they approached the door, he saw Kiara on the balcony. He nodded to her and opened the door so the guards could bring everything inside. He told the guards to drop everything off in a spare room by Jessica's suites and led his personal escort to the kitchen. After fixing a snack, he walked toward the hallways dedicated as Jessica's wing.

    Kiara headed downstairs. She spotted Quinn and silently motioned him to follow her. She couldn't speak with him with the guards around. The gods knew these guards ALWAYS reported to Bill and she couldn't make sure that Bill had recording devices all around the mansion, which now that she thought about it, that bothered her.

    She lead him outside and to her car. "Mind...taking a drive with me Quinn? real quick?" she asked, again her eyes scanning the premises.

    "Mind...taking a drive with me Quinn? real quick?"


    Quinn did not know what she was up to, but agreeing was one way to find out what she was up to. He looked to his escort and grinned.

    "Gentlemen, I think William would feel that it is safe to leave me in Ms Griffen's custody. She is not going to leave me wandering around and I'll be certain to page you when we get back. Feel free to leave the bags with the packages that arrived earlier."

    He followed Kiara toward the car....

    Kiara smiled and lead him to her car. She got into the drivers seat, waited until he was in and she drove off. It wasn't until she was a good mile away from the mansion that she sighed.

    "Quinn....I need your help" she said as she kept looking down the road.

    "Quinn....I need your help"

    Quinn held a finger to his lips and fished a small device out of his jacket pocket. He plugged the device into the USB jack of the radio and a slow hum began coming from the speakers.

    "You wanted me away from other ears obviously. Now we can speak freely. What is going on that you would ask me, of all people, for help?"

    She pulled the car over to a nice wooded area. She turned the car off and turned to look at him.

    "You were.... well you know about Lillith and things right? what happened to Bill before when he went crazy...." she began.

    "... I believe we may have a problem..."

    Quinn threw his head back, laughing....

    "Oh my...the timing...if I believed in coincidences it would be a profound one..."

    She shook her head and waived her hand to sush him, coincidentally doing it with her left hand.

    "Eric has asked me to find a vial of Lillith's blood. Thing is... Bill and I are bonded and we all know he's not going to fess up to me. Not to mention there are areas of the mansion he "forbids" me from which defeats the cause"

    She rubbed the bridge of her nose.

    "I don't know if the rumors are true. God I hope they're not, but it's not a chance I'm willing to take. Seeing as how you enjoy finding stuff about people.... like I'm sure you're tapping Jess' calls or something... I figured you could help me with this. Move around with a tad more freedom since Bill won't be able to sense you walking about like he does me"

    Quinn chuckled again.

    "The Northman family seems to be up to all sorts of intrigues as of late."


    "I don't know if the rumors are true. God I hope they're not, but it's not a chance I'm willing to take.

    "Um...perhaps you did not notice my entourage?"

    She rolled her eyes. "Guards can be fooled. Again I dated you Quinn...I know what you're capable of. Plus you're dating Jess... so despite what Bill says he wants her happy so he's willing to turn a blind eye on a few things"

    She sighed as she reached into the backseat of her car and brought out the schematics of the house she'd been working on. The ground floor and top floor were all mapped out, including electrical and duct work. Anything below ground floor was partially complete, and the notes she'd made suggested several secrets rooms.

    "This is what I have so far. I can't stress the need for secrecy and as much as the guards let me wonder around I can't be seen telling them to let me through... my engagement only allows me so much leeway"

    "Actually it goes a bit farther. He has given his blessing for me to propose to Jessica."

    He waited and watched her reaction, then continued...

    "This is what I have so far. I can't stress the need for secrecy and as much as the guards let me wonder around I can't be seen telling them to let me through... my engagement only allows me so much leeway"

    "It is interesting that the Chancellor did not mention any of this when we spoke this afternoon on this very subject. She did not even mention that Eric was involved."

    "Actually it goes a bit farther. He has given his blessing for me to propose to Jessica."

    She sighed. Of course Quinn would propose. Just add to Bill's stress and make her job harder.

    "It is interesting that the Chancellor did not mention any of this when we spoke this afternoon on this very subject. She did not even mention that Eric was involved."

    She quirked a brow "Chancellor? oh...you must mean Nora" she said, knowing the vampire only by name.

    "Eric has asked for his involvement to be kept secret. It would defeat the purpose of being covert" She reached again into her back seat and pulled out a normal looking kooshball.

    "I know you love your tech toys... but put up with this. It's the latest ground penetrating radar and sonar. It creates a detailed graphic of the room you place this in. All you need is a USB cable to download the data. I can't be seen anywhere near the basement... something about... Bill torturing someone...I'm not sure... " she said with a casual shrug.

    "So that's where he stashed the squirmy little bastard...I had forgotten all about him..."

    She rolled her eyes "Well if Bill is torturing someone..." her eyes opened as if she'd realized something ".. oh he hasn't caught HIM yet..." she said more to herself than Quinn.


    "Well you boys can keep on torturing. I have a rumor to check out and I hope to the gods Nora is just being petty"

    She blinked then her mouth curved into an O "Bill never told Jess did he?" she covered her mouth.

    "Must be the reason you don't know. I know Jess would just spill the beans to you instantly"

    She shook her head. "Yeah... theres a reason Bill has Jessica under basic house arrest and it has very little to do with the unwanted shot of silver she got"

    "Yet that shot of silver is directly related to the person in the basement..or at least one of them...or did he not tell you about that either?"

    She sighed, putting 2 and 2 together. "Of course... heaven forbid you two handle things simply...you have to go kidnap the Stackhouse boy and torture him....I'm sure you had your way with him before handing him gift wrapped to Bill"

    She leaned back on her seat. "Yeah the real reason is WAY more dangerous than Jess' boy toy shooting her up"

    "Actually I did not kidnap him, and as for harming him, I only questioned him until he confessed on camera. Then I made sure to deliver him to your boyfriend as I had promised to."

    "Yeah the real reason is WAY more dangerous than Jess' boy toy shooting her up"


    Quinn leaned closer, looking in her eyes...

    "I would really appreciate if I were kept up to speed on this, considering it does concern my fiancee."

    She grinned "Fiesty..." she said as she quirked a brow.

    "I would really appreciate if I were kept up to speed on this, considering it does concern my fiancee."

    She debated this. On one hand Bill didn't want anyone to know about his problem, but on the other hand with Quinn so close her hormones were just straining to get out.

    Damn...Bill had spoiled her with sex and now she was going through the full moon and withdrawals.

    She swallowed hard glad that Quinn couldn't "glamour" the information out of her.

    "Quinn....I don't think it's my place to tell you. My Fiance has a right to his privacy too you know"

    Kiara's eyes followed his hand intently. His touch on her cheek NEARLY sent her over the edge.

    She gulped like she was in serious mortal danger, which in a sense she was.

    "Quinn...I...." her heart beat sped up, her breathing just a bit more shallow. "....is....is this a condition....for me to have your help?" she managed to get out, her voice just a tad shaky, her grip on the center console just a bit tighter.

    "Quinn...I...is....is this a condition....for me to have your help?"

    Quinn sighed....

    "You are asking me to help you with something you are hiding from your own fiance and that I would have to keep a secret from mine, and you try to make it sound like I am cutting some kind of deal? I want to keep my fiancee safe. She and Bill will not know I learned the information, or where if it ever did become public. I simply want to do all I can to keep her safe...to keep them both safe..."
