batteries.
    “Yeah. And I took care of her friends’ memories.”
    She wanted to groan. If he had to do a mind wipe, then this
couldn’t be good. “How bad are we talking?”
    “Well, let’s just say people will be talking about a water
spout on the news that came out of nowhere. Too bad they have no idea how close
they were to massive destruction.”
    Since they were meeting in the alley behind the shops that
lined the beach, Breeze had a feeling something nasty had nearly been
unleashed. Some mystical creatures needed tough prisons. A lot of those sat on
the ocean floor. Crap . “Whose cell was affected?” she asked as she
winced.
    “Moktanal.”
    She rolled her eyes and released a groan. “Seriously?” This
night just kept heading further into the land of Cluster Fuck. Moktanal was a
repugnant, large beast that breathed fire, making the ocean floor an awesome
place to keep him. But damn if it wasn’t going to take some major energy to
repair the walls of his cage. Which meant she would need to recharge. “How bad
is the damage?”
    “Extensive. We need to get started soon or he’ll be able to
escape.”
    She pulled her cell phone from the pocket of her leather
pants. “Give me a second to make a call.” She walked away from Chehon as she
dialed the first number. There wasn’t any need for him to overhear her
arranging a booty call. Sampson’s voice mail picked up and she left a quick
message to return her call. As soon as she disconnected she hit the second
programmed number on her call list. Lucian picked up after the second ring.
    “Hey, gorgeous.”
    “Lucian, I need to see if you can meet with me?”
    “Running low on juice, baby?”
    She ground her teeth. “Yes. And I need to do this soon.”
    “Well, I’m in the middle of dealing with some ghouls right
now. I could maybe meet you in a couple of hours.”
    Breeze was unsure how long their problem would wait, but
unless she could get hold of Sampson, then she would have to take what she
could get. “Fine. Call me when you’re done with your ghouls.”
    The flip phone closed with a snap, and she turned on her
boot heel, heading back in Chehon’s direction. “I can’t do much of anything in
my current state, and it will be a few hours before I can get a boost.” She
wanted to cringe as she discussed her need to fuck some other guy with him.
“I’m waiting on a call back from Sampson he might be able to help me out sooner.”
    Chehon released a low whistle as he arched one light-colored
brow. “Not sure how much time we have.”
    “You can see if there’s a blood user who’s available to help
you.” After all, there were others he could siphon energy from. But damn if a
feeling of jealousy didn’t stab her right in the chest at the thought.
    He grimaced. “Not really a fan of working with the slaughter
types.”
    “Well, you may not have much choice. Beggars can’t be
choosers when world destruction hangs in the balance.” But she couldn’t really
blame him. Blood users could be scary people. Most of them used animal
sacrifice to draw big power, but some of the more shady types used humans. Of
course those witches and warlocks didn’t work for M and M Security. At least
that she knew of.
    Chehon blew out a frustrated breath. “We’ll wait and see if
Sampson calls you back. Shall we?” He held out his hand.
    She gave him a questioning stare.
    “I don’t have anything pernicious in mind. I thought we
could go sit on the beach until you get your call. Besides, I could use a
recharge myself.”
    She ignored his offered hand, too afraid of what
skin-on-skin contact with him would do to her when she was this low, as she
strode past him and made her way toward the sand. He might have felt slighted
by her actions, but she couldn’t worry about that. She had to protect her own
feelings in this. So far Chehon had never treated her like a whore. Their
conversations always seemed to flow with ease and they even laughed together
from
