From Dusk till Dawn Series
Season 4 (according to where we left off)
"You." Kate points to the teller of the bank with her gun. "Be cool."
"Everyone in the back!" Seth yells aggressively. "Come on out!"
A line of terrified people come out and lay down on the floor of the lobby. Seth looks at Kate from his peripheral and smirks looking back at the guard where his gun is pointed to. On the other side of Kate, Richie grins and turns away to the next teller near the door to the back.
"Come on lady." Richie says with a grunt egging her on with his gun to the safe that is clearly visible through the glass behind the bank teller's booth. "Open it." Richie says with a low growl in his tone making the short blonde visibly shake as Richie touches the gun to her forehead.
"Please!" She shreiks and Seth rolls his eyes and nods his head towards the guard by the door to Kate; signaling to switch positions with him. "I don't know how sir!" She yells before she drops to her knees in front of Richie who just looks down in disgust and disappointment.
"I guess I will have to do it this the hard way Bethany." Richie sighs pulling out his knife and bends down on one knee in front of the woman. "We both know that you are the manager here so please don't make me do something that will..." Richie drifts his gaze down to the woman's neck with the blunt end of the blade trailing down to her jugular; "Make you wish you were dead." His eyes turning to that serpent green making the woman scream.
"Come on!" Seth yells with warning to his brother.
"If he gets anxious..." Richie says with a smirk nodding towards Seth waiting for the lady to make her move. "Well, let's just say that it won't be good for anyone here." He smiles sweetly at her.
The woman looks at him with horror and gulps nodding. Richie grins as he guides the woman with his gun still to her head over to the safe.
"Good choice, Bethany." Richie whispers in her ear and she continues her crying as she starts to open the safe.
Ten minutes later.
"Let's go!" Kate yells as she grabs a bag of money in her hand while the other points the gun to the guard. "Don't be a hero." She kicks the taser away from his grasp.
"Vamonos!" Richie yells as he walks out the door with two bags in each hand.
"Go!" Seth turns to Kate and she nods and runs out behind Richie. "Thank you for your cooperation." Seth says walking backwards towards the open doors.
"Thought you were going to feast on the woman right then and there!" Kate says to Richie who is in the front seat.
"I was." He says looking at Kate right in her green eyes through the rear view mirror.
"To a bar it is!" Seth says jumping into the drivers seat and whips out of the parking lot and of towards the open road.
"How far is it?" Richie asks looking uncomfortable and pale.
"Shit." Seth says glancing at Richie. " I know you havent fed since last night but you've gone longer without feeding."
"I don't know what's wrong." Richie replies turning the window down letting the wind flow through the car.
"What do you feel different?" Kate asks looking at Richie more closely.
"Watch it now." Richie warns to Kate as his eyes turn to his serpent ones hunger taking over.
"He's turning!" Kate half yells from the backseat.
"Really bad timing bro!" Seth says taking a dirt road leading up to small trucker bar visible from the main road. "Stay here Kate." He turns to Kate and she nods and takes the driver seat as he puts a sweater over Richie's head to shield him from the morning sun.
The rundown bar looked like something out of an old western movie and smelled like rotting flesh, stale peanuts, tobacco, and whiskey. The man behind the bar had barely any teeth as he glanced at them with a smile and continued on with wiping down the sticky black bar. The windows were all tainted glass, the sun coming through them showed exactly how thick the dust was in the air.
"Bathroom?" Seth asked to the bartender who just nodded to the left of the small bar. Seth nods at him and helps Richie into the bathroom to sit on the only stall in the small bathroom.
"I need..." Richie begins but his breath runs out.
"I'll be back." Seth says as he rushes out of the bathroom all the while thinking how in the fuck he was supposed to lure someone for his brother to feed on. Walking back to the bar he notices a tall man sitting with alone at the bar in a red baseball hat.
"Hey!" Seth says walking towards the man. "You look like a strong guy! Can you help me lift my drunk ass friend to my car? I can't lift the heavy bastard." Seth says and the man turns to him with a weird gleam in his eye as he looks Seth up and down. An unsettling feeling Seth hasn't had since he was prison came over him.
"Sure." The bearded man stood to his full height. "I'll help you." He says and grins showing his black teeth to Seth who grimaces and lets the man follow him to the bathroom.
"He's in the sta-" Before Seth can finish his sentence the bearded man pushes him roughly against the wall and before Seth could react Richie has his fangs in the man's neck.
Seth turns away from the scene as Richie devours the man. He goes out by the door to keep watch as Richie ate like it was his last meal. It only took a mere five minutes for Richie to leave the lifeless body depleted of any blood.
"Done?" Seth asks to a renewed looking Richie, who wiped his mouth of the blood with the back of his hand and his eyes turned back to normal.
"Let's go." Richie says looking at the back door by the bathroom and Seth follows suit.
"What the hell is wrong Richie?" Seth says hightailing out of there and back on the main road.
"Don't you think that if I knew I would tell you instead of compromising the score?" Richie says sarcastically licking his lips; Seth just grunts and looks back the road ahead.
"How do you feel now Richie?" Kate asks looking at Richie from the backseat with concern in her green orbs.
"Much better." Richie answers with a small smile. "But not satisfied." He looks away and out the window.
"You seemed to be all right this morning and you were even awake before us." Kate says looking out the window in confusion.
"I felt it as soon as we exited the bank." Richie says but then sighs. "I haven't been able to feed as freely as I would like and it's taken its toll." He straightens himself in his seat.
"Why don't you just go out at night and feed more often then?" Seth questions not taking his eyes off the road.
"Simple." Richie says plucking a non-existent piece of lint from his trousers. "We havent necessarily been in populated areas." He puts on his shaded sunglasses looking straight ahead.
"No more desert." Seth says and guns it down the road headed south. "Where would you all like to go next?"
"With this score..." Kate says calculating in her head. "Well," she smirks at Seth through the rear view mirror. "We can go anywhere." She grins.
"I've always wanted to check out Italy." Seth says looking from Kate to Richie next to him who looks back at Kate.
"I've always wanted to see Rome and taste real Italian food!" Kate says beaming with the widest grin Seth has ever seen on her beautiful face.
"Italy it is!" Seth says pushing the '62 black mustang over one hundred.
