Chapter 2

Jo followed the brigadier through unit HQ doing her best to hide how nervous she was, she was supposed to work with a vampire! A vampire who could kill her as casually as she would step on a daisy. She tried not to shiver at the thought. She took a deep breath to prepare herself as the brigadier opened the door to the lab that the vampire occupied.

Inside was a very normal looking lab with very normal looking equipment. Jo was very glad the place didn't look mid-evil and creepy.

Leaning back in a chair with his feet propped up on a table sat the vampire, his eyes were closed and he was breathing deeply as though asleep.

The brigadier stood there for a moment, wondering how to wake him up when the vampire spoke without opening his eyes.

"ah, brigadier I was just thinking about you. You seem a little uncertain of yourself, you should really stand up straighter, and Whose that young lady standing nervously behind you?"

Jo was a little unsettled, the vampire hadn't even opened his eyes.

"doctor, this is Jo Grant your new assistant. Jo this is the doctor." said the brigadier

the doctor opened his eyes and smiled, just barely showing his fangs. "ah yes assistant, though I think your intentions have her as more of a babysitter to make sure I don't get into trouble" the brigadier opened his mouth to protest but the doctor cut him off. " don't try to deny it I know how to read peoples intentions and opinions, especially when they relate to me. I know your suspicious of me sinking my fangs into you, and to be honest I don't really blame you. I would be suspicious too. But just to ease you suspicions, I will tell you I have no ill intentions for you or anyone else at UNIT. Weather or not you believe me or not is another matter all together."

"i believe you doctor but its hard not to be suspicious of your fangs in my neck, you must understand that." the brigadier said

"i understand, I have to gain your trust and I'm perfectly fine with that" the doctor said

" well then I guess I'll leave you two to get to know each other, meanwhile I've got work to do. If you have any problems Jo just come to my office and we'll talk." the brigadier said

"i will" said Jo as he walked out. What have I gotten myself into? She thought to herself
