Part 2

"Krips ?" A figure crossed the dark lot toward her.

"Father Joseph." Eyebrows rising, Kripa changed direction to meet the elderly man. The priest was her boss at the shelter where she worked the night shift. Bars were not usually his sort of hangout. "What are you doing here?"

"Raja said there was a new kid on the streets. He doesn't think the boy's more than twelve or thirteen and is pretty sure he's been eating out of the garbage bins back here. I thought I'd see if I could find him and convince him to come to the shelter."

"Oh." Kripa glanced around the lot. Raja was one of the regulars down at the shelter. He often pointed them toward people who might need their help. If he said there was a new kid on the streets, then there was. Raja was dependable about such things. And Father Joseph was
equally dependable about going out in search of such strays in the hopes of getting to them before they did something desperate or stupid, or got dragged into drugs or prostitution.

"I'll help," Kripa offered. "He's probably around here somewhere. I—"

"No, no. This is your night off," Father Joseph said, then frowned. "Besides, you aren't wearing a coat. What are you doing out here without a coat?"

"Oh." Kripa's gaze slid to the garbage bins as a thump sounded behind them. A quick probe of Prithvi's thoughts told her that he'd thumped his head against the bin as he leaned against it.

Idiot.

She turned back to find Father Joseph peering toward the containers and spoke quickly to distract him. "I forgot something in my cousin's car." It was a bald-faced lie, and Kripa sincerely hoped the man hadn't noticed where exactly she'd come from, but would think she'd been in the little black Mazda parked beside the bins. Not
wanting to lie any more than necessary, she rubbed her arms, and added, "Gosh you're right though, it is cold out here."

"Yes." He peered at her with concern. "You'd best go back inside."

Nodding, Kripa wished him good night and made her escape. She hurried across the parking lot, then around the corner of the bar, only slowing once she stepped inside the loud and crowded bar.

Neev was nowhere in sight, but—thanks to the fuchsia-tinted tips of her ebony hair—
Kripa didn't have any trouble spotting Mira at the bar with Jeena.

"Well, you look…" Mira hesitated as Kripa reached them, then finally finished with, "the same. What happened?"

"Anemic." She spat the word with annoyance.

"But he looked so healthy," Jeena protested.

"Padded shoulders and bottled tan," she said. "And that's not all."

"What else could there be?" Mira asked dryly.

Kripa grimaced. "He had a cucumber down his pants."

Jeena gave a disbelieving giggle, but Mira groaned, and said, "It must have been a seedless English cucumber, the man looked huge."

Kripa gaped. "You looked ?"

"You didn't?" she countered.

Jeena burst out laughing, but Kripa just shook her head and glanced around the bar.

"Where's Neev?"

"Here."

She spun around as his hand settled on her shoulder.
"Did I hear you right? Was your Romeo sporting a cucumber down his pants?" he asked with amusement, giving her shoulder an affectionate squeeze.

Kripa nodded with disgust. "Can you imagine?"

Neev gave a laugh. "Actually, the sad fact is I can. First women padded their bras, now men pad their boxers." He shook his head. "What a world."

Kripa found a reluctant smile tugging at her lips at his expression, then gave in and allowed her irritation to drop away. She wasn't really upset that Prithvi had sported a cucumber; she hadn't been interested in what was in his boxers anyway. Hell, she hadn't even really wanted to take him out for a bite. She was just annoyed at the waste of time and the fact that she'd used up
more energy staying warm out there than the man's weak blood had supplied. She was even hungrier than she'd been before going outside. All the outing had managed to do was whet her appetite.

"How long until we can go to Mom's?" she asked hopefully. Her cousins and Mira had decided to take her out dancing before heading to the birthday party her mother was having for her. Kripa had been pleased with the idea at the time, but that was when she'd only been hungry. Now she was ravenous and eager to get to the party and whatever offering her mother would have on hand. She'd even accept an intravenous at that point, which was saying something. Kripa hated being fed intravenously.

"It's only a little after nine," Mira announced, with a glance at her wrist watch. "Gayatri said we weren't to bring you to the party until ten."

"Hmm." Kripa's mouth twisted with displeasure. "Do any of you know why the party starts so late?"

"Aunt Gayatri said she had to pick up something for you in the city before the party, and couldn't do it until after 9 p.m.," Neev offered. "Then, she has to drive back too, so—" He shrugged. "—no party till ten."

"She must be picking up your gift," Mira guessed.

"I don't think so," Neev said. "She mentioned something about Kripa and feeding. I suspect she's picking up a special dessert or something."

"A special dessert?" Jeena asked with interest. "In the city? After nine?" Her gaze slid to Kripa full of excitement as she suggested, "A Sweet Tooth?"

"It must be," Kripa agreed, grinning at the prospect. She'd inherited her mother's love of sweets and nothing satisfied it like a Sweet Tooth, which was how they re ferred to undiagnosed diabetics who ran around with dangerously high blood sugar levels. It was a rare treat, made rarer by the fact that afterward they always put the thought in the person's mind to call his doctor
and arrange to have a blood test, thus removing one more Sweet Tooth from the menu.

"That could be it," Neev commented. "It would explain Aunt Gayatri's willingness to drive around downtown Toronto . She hates city driving and generally avoids it like the plague."

"If she drove," Mira commented. "She could have had Ravin send one of the company cars out to chauffeur her around."

Neev shook his head at the mention of Kripa's brother, the head of Sharma Enterprises.
"Nope. She was driving herself and not happy about it."
Kripa shifted impatiently, and asked, "So, how long till we can go?"

Neev hesitated. "Well, it is Friday night, and the traffic might be bad, with everyone trying to
escape the city for the weekend," he said thoughtfully. "I'm guessing we could go in another fifteen minutes and not risk being too early."

"How about if we leave now and you drive slowly?" Kripa suggested.

"That boring, are we?" he asked with amusement.

"Not you. This place. It's like a meat market," Kripa wrinkled her nose.

"Okay, brat." Neev ruffled her hair affectionately. He was four years older and more like an older brother than her own brothers were, but then they'd been raised together. "Let's head out. I'll do my best to drive slowly."

"Yeah, right," Jeena said with a snort. "Like that will ever happen."

Kripa smiled as they collected their coats and headed for the exit. Neev was a bit of a speed demon, and she knew Jeena was right. She had no doubt they'd arrive early and
annoy her mother. It was a chance she was willing to take. Kripa had forgotten all about Father Joseph when she'd suggested leaving, but there was no sign of him as they walked to Neev's Jeep. He'd either given up, or taken his search elsewhere.

Her next thought was for Prithvi, and Kripa glanced toward the bins as Neev drove by them, her gaze searching the shadows for his seated figure, but there was no sign of him either. He'd left, too. She was a bit surprised at his quick recovery, but then shrugged the matter aside.
He wasn't lying unconscious in the middle of the parking lot, so had obviously managed to find a taxi home.

Traffic wasn't bad after all. It was late enough that they'd missed the worst of it and made good
time getting to her mother's home on the outskirts of Toronto. Too good.

"We're half an hour early," Jeena said from the backseat as Neev parked the Jeep behind Gayatri's little red sports car.

"Yeah." He glanced at the house and shrugged. "She'll be okay with it."

Jeen asnorted. "You mean she'll be okay with it as soon as you give her your charming -grin. You always could get around Aunt Gayatri."

"Why do you think I liked hanging out with Neev when we were younger?" Kripa asked with amusement.

"Oh. I see!" Neev laughed as they got out of the vehicle. "So the truth is out. You only like me for my way with your mother."

"Well, you didn't actually think it was that I liked hanging out with you , did you?" Kripa teased, as he walked around to her side.

"Brat." He gave her hair a tug as he joined her.

"Isn't that your brother Ravin's car?" Mira asked as she climbed out from behind the front passenger seat and slammed the Jeep door closed.

Kripa glanced toward the dark Mercedes and nodded. "Looks like it."

"I wonder if anyone else is here." Jeena murmured.

Kripa shrugged. "I don't see any other cars. But I suppose Ravin could have arranged for a
couple of the company cars to pick up and drop off people."

"If he did, I doubt anyone has arrived yet," Mira said, as they started toward the front door.

"You know it isn't fashionable to show up to these things on time. Only unfashionable geeks arrive on time."

"I guess that makes us unfashionable geeks," Kripa commented.

"Nah. We're just trendsetters," Neev announced, and they all chuckled.

Ravin opened the front door as they approached. "I thought I heard a car."

"Ravin, du-ude!" Neev greeted loudly, then immediately stepped up to give him a hug that had the older man stiffening in surprise. "How's it hanging, dude?"
Kripa bit her lip to keep from laughing and glanced toward Jeena and Mira, then quickly away as she saw that they were also having difficulty controlling their expressions at the sudden change in Neev. He'd gone from being just your average guy to a space cadet, in
the passing of a heartbeat.

"Yes… Well… Neev. Hello." Ravin managed to disengage himself from his exuberant younger cousin. As usual, he looked uncomfortable and not entirely sure how to handle the younger man. It was why Neev acted that way, he knew that both her older brothers—at over four hundred and six hundred—tended to look down on him as a young pup, and it never ceased to annoy him. Being thought of as little more than a child at over two hundred years old could be
terribly annoying, and so he acted like an ass around them. It never failed to make the older men uncomfortable and—Kripa suspected—gave Neev an advantage. Her brothers were forever underestimating Neev because of their prejudices. Suffering the same prejudice herself, Kripa could sympathize with Neev. She also never
failed to enjoy watching her older brothers squirm with discomfort.

"So, where's the party, dude?" Neev asked brightly.
