called out to him. He flinched, but kept on walking.
   
     
    Chapter Seven
     
        As Adam approached Dominic's door he could hear Dom, Brandon and Chris discussing what Dom had found in his room.
        "I'm sure he does have a good explanation," Brandon defended him. He could have kissed the man.
        "No, there is no other explanation. Trust me when I say he plowed the girl. I don't know how or why but he got her in here last night and shagged her right under our nose. Not only are we on a job while he pulls this shit but he does it with the lead suspect! He's finally snapped."
        "Are you saying he's Breaking?" Chris asked quietly. Adam held his breath at the question.
        "It's possible. He's well over due as far as I can tell. The man is eight hundred years old at least." Dom pointed out. "I wouldn't have thought it five years ago, but he's been missing work, been too easily distracted by women. I think it's his clutch," he said. Adam fumed as they calmly discussed his apparent descent into madness. All Vampires eventually Broke. It was a term they used when a Vampire couldn't stand eternity any longer. Some could go for a thousand years, some only a hundred. It just depended on what a person did with their infinite amount of time. Yes, perhaps lately he had been a little distracted by shagging, but he was just in a rut. He wasn't breaking. Hell, after his vacation he would be good as new.
        "Reguardless of how he decides to spend his days, he can't sleep with a fucking terrorist. I'm calling the King," Dom said. Adam panicked.  He tried the door but it was locked.
        “Dominic! Open the God damn door and let me explain!” He pounded on the door. He was fighting Dominic’s power, trying to unlock the mechanism holding the door closed, while Dom held it shut. In the end Adam won. He was simply older and stronger. He shoved the door open and strolled into his room. Dom was seated at the couch, glaring daggers at him. Chris and Brandon stood in the corner looking guilty.
        “Oh, would you knock it off. You all look like children. We’re all grown ups here. Give me a chance to explain," he tried. Chris starting slinking towards the door. Brandon opened his mouth but must have changed his mind. He followed Chris out the door.
        “There is nothing to explain. You deliberately dipped your wick in prisoner ink. There’s no coming back from that. I hope she was giving up secrets while you were giving it to her.” Adam growled at Dom, but held himself back from snapping the younger Vamps neck.
        “She isn’t our prisoner. She isn’t even a terrorist. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. She’s part of a group trying to stop Beta Orleans from over throwing the Master and exposing the Weres to the humans. He was behind the attacks in Columbus,” Adam explained.
       “Uh huh. Did she tell you this while she was high tailing it out of the Pub last night, or maybe right before she was shouting your name in bed?” Dom said, and Adam took two steps towards him, ready to tear his head clean off his shoulders. Before he could reach him, there was a knock on the door.
        “Dom, it’s me. Open up.” It was Claude. Adam bared his teeth at Dom but still turned to let Claude into the room.
        “Oh good, Adam, you’re up. I think I figured out some of what Pauly was babbling about last night.”
        “Beta Orleans is behind the attack in Columbus, he’s been trafficking females Weres to other packs for loyalty and favors, and he’s planning to overthrow Master Orleans and Out the Weres to the humans.” Adam explained, still glaring at Dominic.
        “Ummm….” Claude looked down at his notes and back up, clearly confused.
        “I found Victoria at her apartment last night. After I explained why we thought she was a terrorist, she explained to me what was really going on. She’s in the shower right now, but when she’s done she can explain
