Atlas Gym | Very Very Early Saturday Morning
The lightest haze of color was beginning to burn on the horizon as Dimitri crossed the Causeway into town. He turned down familiar streets, licking his lips to wash away the remnants of his supper. He was early, too early to do more than simply taking up residence for the daylight hours. The gym offered the perfect hideaway since he knew the space well and could easily remain undiscovered until night fell again.
The plan was simple. Thanks to the overly chatty Jessi and her phone, Dimitri knew Rose was in Russia desperately seeking him. He'd warned her to stay away, but from the rumblings he'd heard about staked Strigoi left hidden under bushes and in sewers, Dimitri felt certain they were destined to cross paths. He was simply making that happen on his own terms by waiting right where he knew she'd be.
And if his breaking and entering meant making a few others squirm in the process, well that was just a bonus. The gym manager was lucky the sofa was still where Dimitri had left it, lest Dimitri find reason to order in his lunch.
