Before going anywhere else, the group stops to pick up Rainer. They’re in a small room nearly identical to the one Austin was in, handcuffed to a chair like Austin was, but they’re conscious, and don’t look too worse for wear. It seems like Finn wasn’t lying about not wanting to mess with them. Austin doesn’t blame him. Most vampires can put people in a thrall, sometimes using only their voice, and implant suggestions in their minds. Rainer could have made Finn let them go as soon as he’d started interrogating them. If he’d let slip that his arm had a gun in it, they could even have started convincing him to shoot himself.
