When Dansk arrived at his house, he heard Zander's call, which worried him a bit, because he knew that somehow Zander had already found out about the incident with Daniel. He preferred not to enter his house and go directly to meet him, but before leaving, a boy with a strange cut came up to him.
“Yes, I know,” he said to the boy without waiting for him to speak to him.
An hour later he was at Zander Udimov's house. Zander was in the library, and he received him seated behind the desk, an oak one that Dansk had seen hundreds of times. As always, the windows were closed and covered with two thick silk curtains to keep out as much light as possible. Even so, the room was not in darkness.
“I suppose you've heard about the incident with four of us by now,” Dansk told him before Zander spoke to him.
“And with the wolves,” Zander said. “An incident I'm told you witnessed and did nothing. But it didn't bother me that you
Before leaving the alley, Mark wanted to continue checking the entire crime scene, so they went up to the roof where the last vampire had been killed and began to check the surroundings. Except for the figure drawn in chalk on the floor, nothing seemed out of place. The building did not have many things there on the roof and the access booth to the internal stairs did not seem forced, so his suspicions that the murderer and the victim had gone up the emergency stairs were confirmed. Mark walked to the edge and looked at the alley and the building in front; this one was higher than where they were, by at least five or six stories, and he detailed the windows that gave access to his emergency stairway. One of the windows was closed but the curtains were open on both sides of it, Mark took a closer look, trying to see inside, and from what little he could see he realized that it was possibly a baby's room, with the walls painted blue, a wooden crib and in front of it a wooden shelf wit
The battle had been bloody. Everywhere the remains of many vampires were scattered, destroyed by the power of Dan Ranlone, who, exhausted by the harsh confrontation, breathed with some difficulty. He had many wounds that had not yet begun to heal, most of them the result of powerful bites received and from which trickles of blood flowed, some more profuse than the rest. “The damn bites from you don't do me anything!” He yelled at them in the middle of the battle, furious and somewhat disorienting his attackers, who continued to attack him even with their sharp nails, tearing his skin but without doing much damage.After several minutes of fighting, which seemed like hours, he managed to kill all but one. He had trapped the only vampire still alive that he had not wanted to exterminate, pressed against the floor, his knee resting on his throat and his hands holding his arms. The weight of Dan's body, much larger, did not allow him to move enough to free himself, an
Roy and Norma went back to Dan's house and, as on previous occasions, they didn't find him. They decided to return the next day after checking the surroundings of the cabin. To do so, they obtained a judge's order and prepared the police search teams and the canine brigade very early. They had only checked around three hundred meters when they came across a gruesome spectacle: mutilated body parts and apparently in a state of decomposition. Many bodies.“For God’s sake!” Exclaimed Norma, impressed. “What the hell happened here? What is all this?”Roy was also very impressed, as was the rest of the search team.“We'll need the entire police forensics team,” he said. “From all the police stations. This is very big.”“How many bodies do you think there are?” Norma asked, as a police officer accompanied by a German shepherd dog approached them.“I don't know,” Roy replied. &l
Dan was feeling really bad when he left the cabin grounds. He was feeling very exhausted and the throbbing in his head was spreading to the rest of his body He felt that he would not be able to get to the city if he continued like this, so he took his cell phone and called his uncle Christopher, hoping that he would help him along the way and help him eliminate the discomfort he felt. Christopher left his house in a hurry to find him, but not before calling Darius to accompany him.They found him on the road, very close to the city, the Cayenne parked on the side of the road. When they checked him he was half naked and almost unconscious, with marks on his arms and body, some still bleeding a little, which meant that he had fought again and his wounds were healing very slowly. They asked him what was wrong and why he was there in that sector.“The vampires were near the cabin...” he managed to say in a whisper. “Brooke…”“The
“Well, you were right,” ME Perkins said as she handed the report over to Roy and Norma. “They were also vampires. All of them. Amazing.”“And the blood on the tree?” Roy asked.“I compared the DNA of the blood with the DNA of the hair sample that you brought me and it is one hundred percent compatible. It's from your missing girl.”“I told you it was a good idea to ask the parents for the hair sample when we came!” Norma boasted, patting Roy's shoulder lightly.“It was logical seeing that we had a blood trail,” Roy told him. “Don't brag so much.”“You won't take away my desire to continue being a good detective.” Norma smiled like a girl. “Almost as good as you.”Roy looked at her with a "please, you won't get over me, at least not yet" look, and Norma stuck her tongue out at him, amused.“Save a copy for Forney and Ventur
Darius Ranlone and Zander Udimov meet again in the abandoned industrial complex where they made peace twenty years ago. This time they were accompanied only by their drivers, who were ordered to stay inside the vehicles. It was getting dark, so Zander didn't need an umbrella, although he did keep his sunglasses. They walked a few steps away from the vehicles at Darius's request.“Twenty years ago we had a great achievement here,” Darius said, stopping. Zander stopped too and stared at him.“You can call it an achievement,” Zander told him, “but for me it was a fair trade. And you know what I mean.”“I can't consider it that way. In any case, I am satisfied with what happened here twenty years ago.”Zander took a quick look around, perhaps looking for a way to start the conversation that brought them there. With a volatile temperament but a little calmed over the years, he did not usually seek a solution to w
Darius and Dan had already arrived at the meeting place with Zander. They entered the abandoned industrial complex heading west and came to the wide open ground where the earlier meetings had taken place. Zander was already there waiting for them.They stopped the car in front of his and left the lights on, then got out and waited for him to do the same. Zander got out on the passenger side, then went to the rear door on the same side and opened it. Darius and Dan saw another person slowly walk out, apparently a woman, dressed in a white dress, her hair covering her face. Dan was expectant, fighting the urge to run to her and hug her. Zander brought her to the front of his and then she lifted her head, brushing her hair out of her face.It was her! It was Brooke. Dan ran to meet her and hugged her compulsively. Zander took a few steps to the side. Darius joined him, watching the emotional scene.“Brooke, it's me, Dan,” he told the girl when he stoppe
The next day Roy and Norma arrived very early at Dan's apartment. They would not give him time to leave his house, if he was there, and disappear again.But this time Dan was there. He opened the door for them still in his pajamas. It was seven in the morning.“I see that the law gets up early,” he told them, rubbing his eyes.“We want to talk to you,” Roy said. “We'll wait for you to get dressed so you can go with us to the station.”Dan looked at them contemptuously.“Am I being arrested?”“That depends on you,” Norma told him firmly, “on whether you come voluntarily with us or not.”“Fine.” Dan stepped aside at the door, giving them way. “Although I didn't like your tone, I will go with you "voluntarily" so you have no excuse to arrest me. Maybe you have good news for me regarding my girlfriend.”“We're waiting for you,&rdqu
