"Are we enemies?" Tanya asked softly, gazing out into the night from her window.
"Who are you talking about, Darling?" Chase asked as she searched through the closet.
"Nothing."
"Oh. You and Blade. That is an interesting question. Well, he doesn't know that you're still alive, but you pose no threat against him. So probably not. Why? You want to drop by and visit?" Chase asked.
"No! I don't want to nearly die again. I'm keeping my distance. Let's just hope we don't run into him," Tanya answered.
"Ha! I found it!" Chase said holding up a short, black leather dress.
"I'm not wearing that," Tanya said flatly.
"No, I am. You're wearing that," Chase said pointing to the bed. There lie a blue shimmy halter, black pants, a leather jacket, and stiletto boots.
"Now that's what I'm talking about."
The club was quite busy. There were dozens of people on the dance floor, and many couples having fun in the dark corners. Her and Chase were lucky just to get a seat at the bar, of course after Chase showed her glyph.
A few minutes later, they were both sipping apple martinis.
A handsome stranger dropped into the seat next to Tanya. He signaled for the bartender.
"How may I help you?" the bartender asked.
The guy flashed a dazzling smile. "Order this lady another round of whatever she's having, and a Miller Light for me."
Tanya smiled at him. "Thanks. You're really cute."
"And you're gorgeous," he said.
"You seem like a party type."
"You have something in mind?" he asked.
"Yeah, me and my friend here," she said indicating Chase, "are going to a party at a hotel. But I was thinking that you and I should take advantage of the hotel room service. You game?"
"Sure."
"But there's a catch."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, my friend gets to join in on the action."
The guy's eyes went wide. He jumped up and roped an arm around her. "Let's go. We don't want to waste anytime."
All three exited the club and walked out into the dark streets. Tanya dragged the guy into an alley.
"I thought the hotel was that way," he said.
"It is, but we're taking a shortcut," Chase replied. So the guy was dragged into the dark of the alley.
"Hey, why did we stop?" he asked.
"My friend is a little hungry, and she would like a snack." As soon as the words left her mouth, Chase's fangs grew.
The guy screamed and tried to run, but Tanya grabbed him and slammed him against the wall. He was instantly knocked out. Chase walked up to him, yanked his head to side, and began to feed.
Tanya stepped back and looked around to make sure that nobody was watching. Then she heard distant footsteps.
"Chase, hurry up! Someone's coming!" Tanya warned.
Chase released the guy from her bite, and he dropped to the floor. "We're vampires. Since when do we run?"
Tanya didn't answer but glanced at the victim.
"Don't worry. He's just unconscious. Who's our visitor?"
Tanya closed her eyes and honed in on her senses. "I think it's a hunter. He smells of ash and gunpowder. He's young, I can tell from the weight of his footsteps."
"Ooh, a challenge!" Chase exclaimed. Then all of a sudden bullets were streaming towards them. Both women ducked and hid behind a dumpster bin.
Tanya pulled out her gun and waited for the shooting to stop. She risked a peek around the bin, and pulled back as soon as more bullets were shot.
Enough of this shit! Tanya came out from behind the dumpster and started shooting at their attacker. The man ducked and rounded the corner for protection.
Chase was looking at the rooftops for a way out. Finally forming an idea, she jumped on top of the bin. "Tanya, run towards me and I'll give you a boost to the roof."
Tanya climbed up and ran to Chase who threw her to the roof. Once she was up there, she reached down and pulled Chase up. She got her up just in time to miss the bullets being fired at them.
They ran across the rooftops until they came across the House of Chthon building.
As they walked through the front door, Chase said, "That was a close one. I've seen that little bugger around before. His name is Shen and he works for Blade."
Tanya stopped in her tracks. "Blade's in Detroit?"
"Yes, which is why you cannot tell Marcus about our little run-in with his lackey? He'll never let you out of the building."
"Yeah., next time we'll be more careful."
"Damn straight," Chase replied.
"Dude, there's this hot new chick on the vampire scene," Shen said as he entered the hideout.
"Vampire or familiar?" Blade asked.
"Not sure, she was standing by while our favorite blonde vampire feasted on some poor guy."
"Probably vampire. Look her up in the database," Blade ordered.
"She might not be there," Shen suggested.
"Just do it," Blade growled and stomped off.
"Your welcome," Shen called out.
Shen set to work on recreating an image of the new recruit, but he was unsuccessful. The alley had been dark and he could barely make out her features. She had bright blue eyes, and black hair. He knew that much. And she was good-looking.
Shen flipped through the database looking for pictures that looked like his mystery lady.
"Find her yet?" Blade called.
"No, I'll tell you when I'm done."
"Hurry up!"
Shen grumbled in annoyance as he continued looking through pictures.
Several hours later, Shen still had no luck in finding the woman.
Blade approached him looking at the computer screen.
"Any luck?" Blade asked.
"Nope., no new recruits have appeared on the radar since Krista was turned."
"Were you wearing your sunglasses?" Blade asked.
"Yeah, why?" Then Shen realized that he had videotaped the confrontation.
He quickly took the memory chip out of the glasses and inserted it into the computer. He slowly played the video. He froze the screen when the woman came into the picture. He used the computer to take a picture of the frame and he uploaded the picture into Photoshop.
As Shen was doing an extreme makeover on the picture, Krista wandered into the hideout.
"Watcha guys up to?" she asked.
"Shen had a run-in with a new Chthon recruit, and we're trying to find out who she is," Blade explained. Shen zoomed in on the picture.
"Does she look familiar?" Blade asked Krista.
Krista recognized her instantly, but her face remained stony.
Flashback
"I would appreciate if you get my daughter's identity a secret. Several years ago she met a hunter who tried to kill her, and let's just say that he thinks that she's dead," Marcus said gesturing to Tanya.
"Who was the hunter?" Krista asked.
"Blade. It was my assignment to infiltrate him and his partner in crime. But he found out and here I am, living under the radar," Tanya said.
"Not many people know that she is my daughter, and everybody who does is instructed to not let her identity get out. If Blade knew she was alive, he would not rest until she was dead. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
End Flashback
"No, she doesn't look familiar. I'll subtlety ask around about her. Find out who she is and where exactly on the food chain is she."
"She was hanging with Chase, so she must be pretty fucking important," Shen said.
Blade turned to Krista. "Anything to report?"
"Well, when I walked into Marcus's office, there was a picture of him and a girl who looks like she was in her twenties. She looked a lot like him. I asked Marcus about her. Did you know that he had a daughter?"
Shen looked up surprise. "He reproduced? Vampires are sterile."
"Yes, I knew that he had a daughter. After all, I am the one who killed her." Memories from that terrible day started to come back to him. He blocked off all his emotions. He couldn't afford past memories, not now.
"You capped the head honcho's daughter? No wonder he's pissed."
