All Chapters of Lurking In The Dark - Book 1: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"I asked you what we are.""Are you completely crazy ?! You can't ... "It clicked infinitely loudly as Reese unlocked his gun and held it to the back of Seth's head.The intern swallowed and threw a look for help at Aziz, but he just stood there and watched the scene with a frown. "Hey, we can talk about it for sure. I… shit! ”He cursed as Reese tightened the grip on his neck."Answer!"He licked his lips nervously and wondered feverishly what Reese could mean.I could understand that because I hadn't the slightest idea what this was going to lead to. That didn't make sense. Why did he attack Seth?"It will be soon," Reese demanded impatiently."Ve-venators?" Seth simply advised in the dark."What is our job?"Hm, it seemed like the right answer."We kill proles.""Why are we doing this?"Seth licked his lips nervously. "I ... to protect people.""And what do we never do ?

Home? Home?! He didn't mean the place where I got him out of bed this morning, did he?As we drove past the small coffee shop where I got him his coffee this morning, I realized that that was exactly his goal. “But what about the guild? We have to get the reports ... ""Don't annoy me!" He ranzed at me and fished for the cigarettes in his coat.He could forget that. “The reports have to be submitted daily. The statutes state ... ""Shanks," he growled softly and fixed me with a look so intense that I swallowed involuntarily and almost grabbed Nick's hand just to be able to hold on to something. “Believe it or not, I know the statutes and if it should save your little sunlit world, I have a few forms at home that I will fill out there, so don't bother me anymore, otherwise it was the last one Time that you rode in my car! "After that little speech he was staring somberly through the windshield again."May I annoy you?" Nick

It was only when we turned into my street and the tiredness began to make itself felt in me that I became a little calmer. And when Nick parked at my front door and turned off the music, the cocoon of silence around us was almost eerie."Well, thanks for the nice evening and bringing it home," I smiled at him and played with my fingers on the straw from the shop that I had taken for reasons that I knew. "Was really funny with you."He laughed softly. "I'll take that as a compliment.""That's how it was meant," I grinned and looked briefly at the house. The windows were dark. That probably meant that Uncle Roderick had already laid down. "Well, I'll go in then." My fingers felt for the seat belt and loosened it."Grace?"When I looked up, his face was suddenly right in front of mine. When did he lean forward that far?"You are really great, do you know that?""Um ... thanks?" I leaned back a little to bring a reasonable distance betwee

Shit, there was so much blood! I quickly stripped off my jacket and pressed it to the deep wound in the abdomen, trying to feel the pulse on his wrist at the same time and not paying attention to the gaping flesh wound on his face."Damn it, Shanks, do you want to kill yourself ?!"My hand went to his carotid artery and ... there he was. Very weak, but I felt the throbbing on my fingers. "He's alive," I breathed. "Reese, quick, call an ambulance, he's still alive!""Fuck. Put his head back so he can breathe better. ”The cell phone was already on his ear. "And keep your hand on the wound, otherwise ... yes, Venator Tack here, Proles danger zone level red, we have a victim here," Reese said into his cell phone. "Open abdominal wound. The degree of injury ... "I blocked it out while he passed on more details and the address, concentrating entirely on the caretaker and the faint throbbing under my fingers. This man was a hero, he had saved the children

Reese didn't care, just tapped the card with his finger. “The walker was attacked here this morning, the pack was sighted here yesterday, which is why a team has already looked around the area, but just as I couldn't find a trace. So I assume that they only use this park for hunting. There are other green spaces in the vicinity, all just a stone's throw away from each other. The acacia grove, Fennpfuhl, the horseshoe settlement, Krugphul, which is also followed by an allotment garden settlement. All these green spaces are so close together that it cannot be ruled out that the pack may be found there, but I haven't had the time to search them because I was called to a school for an assignment. "Some hissing went around. Schools, kindergartens, hospitals. Large gatherings of weak people, that aroused the protective instinct in every Venator.On the other hand, I felt sick again when I thought of the caretaker.“What Shanks has drawn here are trails an
