investigate.  I’m sorry it’s inconvenient, but it’s just procedure,” said a
man that started walking towards me from the end of the alley.  I looked down
at my bracelet.  He was human, because there was not even a flicker of color,
but he was lying about why he was down here. 
    “May
I see your badge?” I asked, wanting to call him out.  I felt the need to know
why he was down there himself, especially since he’d arrived just after I’d
killed two vampires. 
    “I
actually don’t have it on me, Ma’am, because I’m, uh, an undercover.  I don’t
mean any trouble, Ma’am, I just need you to leave this alley now.” He was
beginning to lose his calm tone as he continued to walk towards me. 
    “First,
I’m going to need you to stop calling me ‘Ma’am.’”  I laughed.  “I’m not that
old yet.  And second, I don’t believe you, so I will leave when I want to,” I
said, as he finally came completely into view.  He definitely looked like the
character he was trying to play.  He had to be about six-four and was very
stocky.  He wore dark, tight-fitting athletic clothes.  He had a golden-bronze
skin tone that was complemented by his dirty-blond hair that was pulled back
into a ponytail.  He had dark, navy-blue eyes that looked shocked at what I had
just said to him.  His face had an edge to it that said he’d been through some
hard times and could definitely kick a lot of ass.  He had the kind of face
that made you want to either punch it or viciously make-out with it. 
    “You’re
going to leave, now !” he demanded as he went to grab my arm.  I quickly
moved to the side, and heard him let out a small grunt, as he missed me
completely.  I let out a giggle, which seemed to frustrate him more.  “If you
don’t leave now, then you’re going to die,” he threatened, and I was no longer
in a laughing mood. 
    “Is
that so…” I said as I pushed that magic button that made my stake so deadly. 
His eyes widened, not in horror, like I’d expected, but in shock. 
    “I
didn’t mean by me!” he yelled.
    “By
who then? Your gangster buddies or something?” I asked, since my mind had come
to the conclusion that if he wasn’t a cop, and he wanted me out of the alley,
it had to be drug related.
    “No,
please leave.  I don’t want to be responsible for your death.  The trouble that
is coming here will kill you, and I can’t take care of you and fight them at
the same time, because we’d both die.”
    “Take
care of me ?”  I laughed.  “I need no one to take care of me.”
    “Fine…crazy
lady.  Just wait until they get here, then you will run, and hopefully, I’ll be
able to fend them off so they won’t hunt you,” he said, seeming extremely
annoyed.  And what did he mean they would hunt me?  Could he be waiting for the
vampires I just killed? 
    “Tell
me who you are waiting for, and then I will leave,” I said to him.
    “I
can’t tell you.  Can’t you just trust me?” he asked.
    “I
don’t trust anyone…and if I did, it wouldn’t be someone whose first words to me
were a lie,” I said. 
    “You
wouldn’t believe me if I told you, so there’s no point,” he said hopelessly.
    “Try
me…” I smiled.
    “Two
vampires, who are so fast and skilled they could kill you before you even
blink!” he said, watching me for a reaction. 
    “Look
down at your feet,” I said, because he was conveniently stepping in the ashy
remains of the two vampires he was speaking of.  “Those are the remains of the
two you are probably waiting for.  Didn’t your mother ever tell you that the
early bird gets the worm?” 
    “That
is not possible.  That was my assignment.  Who came before me?  Was it Kyle?
And how do you know what that is?” he asked.
    “Are
you really that stupid?  Do you not see what I have in my hand?” I said,
insulted, as I held up my stake. 
    “You?”
he pointed at me and laughed.  “Yeah right…”  Oh, so he wanted a sample
