I do not own anything. The Drake Chronicles are not mine no matter how much I wish I thought of them.

The annul sci-fi/ Fantasy convention is in town and it's possibly the setting for a supernatural murder. Three people in the last two days have showed up dead, and brainless, in the alley across the street from the convention and they all had the convention's entrance stamp on their hand. Plus the fact that they were all wearing costumes from either the sci-fi or fantasy genre helped as well.
"God, I cannot believe that you dragged us to this geek convention." Marcus exclaimed sidestepping a Frodo and hobbit.
"Well, I'm sorry just keep your eyes out for any suspicious activity or anything unusual." I replied.
"Anything suspicious or unusual? Dude, about four girls have walked up to me and asked if I'd like to go with them to their home planet and frolic through the Zartarion flowers. Ten guys so far have admired the realisticness of my muscle sleeves and asked where they can get a pair. Geeks are everywhere my brother and you are one of them." Quinn said
As I was looking around I understood what they meant. Unfortunately in order to blend in, we had to all dress up in costumes. I of course went for a Han Solo look for he is my Sci-fi action hero. Quinn refused to dress up so he was decked out in a black t-shirt and jeans, Marcus was Spock, Logan looked more like a pirate than usual, Nick was head to toe battle armor because Lucy, a medieval princess told him it would go with her costume, Duncan was debating whether or not to come and decided that his pride was more important than finding someone that eats brains and Sebastian was with Mom and Dad doing royal things. Since Lucy was a princess Soloange decided go for a fairy considering she hates being a princess, Hunter dressed up like Katnis Everdean for the Hunger games so she could keep a bow and some arrows on her, and Isabeau dressed up like a Na'vi from Avatar because she thought having blue skin would be funny.
"I have seen 13 Gandalfs, 20 Boba Fetts, several wizards, a handful of Time Bandits, and a couple Terminators. Nothing will look suspicious in here." Nick cried out in frustration.
"Hey Conner. I think that Xena over there has the hots for you. She has been staring at ya for the past ten minutes."
"Thanks Duncan, but I'm more of a sci-fi guy than a fantasy nut." I replied.
"Suit yourself. She is actually kinda hot for a nerd. Oh and look she's coming over here. Come on man, Christobel was like forever ago. She was and idiot and thought that some 500 year old vampire was better suited for her "needs". Find a new geek girl and move on. "
I ignored him as Xena the warrior princess walked over to us and stopped a foot in front of me. She looked me up and down with an indifferent stare and then looked at my brothers.
"You guys the vampire Princes?" she asked casually.
"Uh… who wants to know?" I asked in return.
She sighed impatiently. "If you're here about the murders then follow me." And with that she turned on her warrior boots and headed towards a back room.
"Is that suspicious enough for you, Conner?" Soloange remarked with a smirk, as she followed Xena through the door.
"Just shut up and go."
