"Something in the air tonight..." Pepper shook her head, went back to typing her notes into the little laptop computer as she lay on the bed she and Deacon shared. He'd gone out earlier - making the rounds to some of his clubs, he said. And her? He told her that she had to stay home, and continue to figure out how to hack her way through his security system to get it to allow her to come and go as well. Good thing she had enough food in the kitchen for a few more days. Who knew when he might return?

Idly she rubbed her neck where he'd last fed on her, days ago. The marks had healed, the scars gone as if she'd never been touched. She got up from the bed, wandered into the kitchen and got some juice, poured it into a wine glass. Standing before a window she looked out into the night. Then she turned away with a shiver. Yep, something was out there tonight. Something going on, and.. something bad. She only hoped that it didn't involve Deacon, because - by extension, that would involve her.
