We returned to the vampires’ house, taking the roads, not the sewer tunnels, thankfully. Then we prepared to leave on our journey north.

Sarah had gone to take a shower and wash off the leftover sewer smell, while I called our new vampire hunter friends to tell them the news.

The phone rang only once before someone picked up, answering in French.

“Uh, hi,” I said. “Is this Justin or Alexandre?”

“Yes, this is Justin. Who is this?”

“It’s Reed. The guy you kidnapped?”

“Oh, hey! The vampire and his girlfriend,” he said. “What’s up?”

“Well . . . the good news is, we figured out which guy was responsible for murdering your best friend. His name is Kyle.”

A pause. “And the bad news?”

“It turns out your buddy isn’t the only person Kyle has killed. Someone in our own group recognized him from something that happened a few years ago. Apparently, he killed her fiancé and she was more than a little pissed. Anyway, we told the King about him because the vampires have rules against killing humans. We confronted this Kyle guy and he actually confessed. Then he took off and we weren’t able to catch him, which means he’s probably long gone. The King said Kyle had to die for his crimes, but now it looks like he’s off the hook. As long as he doesn’t show his face around here ever again that is.”

“Man,” Justin said. He stayed quiet, waiting for the news to sink in.

“Yeah, so . . . I wanted to give you the scoop before we leave. Sarah and I are heading somewhere up north with the rest of our group. We have our own psycho vampire to deal with, so we have to leave before she tracks down our sorry asses. Sorry we couldn’t be more help, but I don’t think you’ll have to worry about problem vampires anymore. The King’s a good guy, and he doesn’t let the vampires around here get away with killing humans.”

“When are you leaving?” Justin asked.

“Tonight, as soon as we’re done packing,” I said.

“All right. Thanks for everything. I guess there are good vampires and bad ones, just like people.”

I laughed. “Exactly. The only difference is the crazy vampires are practically impossible to deal with because they’re really, freaking strong. The vampire that’s after us, I’m a total weakling compared to her. She’s hundreds of years old, which makes her insanely strong, but she looks like a twelve-year-old girl. It’s kind of humbling to tell the truth.”

Justin chuckled. “A humble vampire, who would have guessed? Good luck to you, my friend.”

We said our goodbyes just as Sarah returned from her shower.

I ogled her as she got dressed, instantly distracted from my phone conversation. My fangs poked through the surface of my gums and I didn’t even try to disguise my thoughts. She tried to keep a serious face, but her mouth twitched in a smile.

“You have a one-track mind, Mr. Hennessy,” she said.

I grinned. “That’s because I’m not blind, Ms. Perkins.”

She came over and pressed a kiss to my lips.
