The black Escalade with darkly tinted windows looked very out of place for the neighbourhood. Tess and I jumped out, leaving Isaac to wait behind the wheel. Although he could manage the fading daylight - most vamps who were old enough and powerful enough could - he would wait in the car unless we needed him. Isaac took the whole bodyguard thing seriously, although I guess he really had no choice in the matter. Rather than argue with him, I figured it was easier to just let him come along. Besides, he provided the sweet ride. It had been delivered to the firehall along with some of Isaac’s clothes and other possessions sometime in the wee hours of the morning. I looked around at the debris filled street. We were in a very poor part of the city near one of the more popular areas for the homeless. Holly had often come to this neighbourhood with her hospital outreach program, bringing medical care and food, so it wasn’t a surprise that she had last been seen here.
