The Cross
“A relaxed Gabriel Stone was at the wheel, idly listening to a Mendelssohn string quartet as he hurtled the big car through the night. Beside him in the luxurious passenger seat, Lillith was pouring more of the 1993 Dom Pérignon champagne into a crystal flute.
Zachary lounged stretched out in the back, a bottle in one giant fist and a full glass in the other. ‘One thing you gotta say about Lonsdale – that human-ass motherfucker certainly liked to do things in style.’ Gabriel’s hands tightened a ...little on the wheel in disapproval of Zachary’s language, but he said nothing.
‘What a fun evening this has turned out to be,’ Lillith said, glancing over her shoulder at the bundle of antique sabres, rapiers and broadswords propped up against the back seat next to Zachary. She could still taste the blood from the social call they’d just made to the secluded house a few miles from Rochester. It had been easy enough to find the antiquities collector via an auction catalogue.
‘All in the line of duty,’ Gabriel said.MoreLess
