Sorry it's been so long since I last updated, but school got in the way :-w. Anyway, hope you'll enjoy this new chapter. And for those who wonder, no, I didn't make that TV show up, it's a very real and delicious one ;)

"Seems like nobody is home." Frost said after knocking at the door. "Think we should break in?"

"That is so typically manly. Let's just break in, make a lot of mess..." Jane teased. "Elegance, Barry, elegance. Most people leave a spare key outside, just in case they forget the ones they have at home. See? That's what I'm talking about." she said taking the key from under the doormat.

"You do realize that we don't have a warrant do you?"

"I won't tell anyone if you don't." Jane winked before entering. However, the sight inside made her regret they had broken in. Right at the entrance, there was a brunette young girl, with the now beginning to be familiar blue skin, and Frost suddenly looked like he was going to throw up. Again.

"Well, she was definitely a vampire girl." Jane said, pointing at the victim's black nails. "I'm going to call Maura to see what she can make out of this."

"See? That's what happens. I am seriously not getting this passion for vampires. Why would you be so crazy about a dead guy? A walking corpse?"

"Why don't you ask Maura it seems that she knows a lot about the subject."

"Please. she's into it just for the sake of the being a bad boy part."

"Well bad boys are sexy."

"Sure. Why not hook up with a vampire who is obsessed with world domination when you have a perfectly available psychiatrist in your backyard practically?"

"Hello? This is me we're talking about.I have no idea what you mean."

"Sorry. I would just hate if you got on Maura's side on this one that's all."

"I always get on Maura's side, Barry. She's my best friend."

"You keep saying that like I'm supposed to believe you."

"What do you mean?"

"Please. You know what I mean."

"Anyway, I called her and she said she'll be here as fast as she can." Jane said, rapidly changing the subject. Frost was her partner for too damn long to know that she wasn't exactly sure that Maura was just her best friend. Sure, she was almost like a sister to her, but sometimes Jane couldn't help wondering if it wasn't more to their relationship than it showed. But that was irrelevant, of course. Maura would have more gladly slept with her stupid brother Tommy than with-damn. Why was she even thinking at that possibility?

"So, what did I miss?" Maura asked when she arrived at the crime scene.

"Nothing much. Another victim, same MO as the other one. And Barry just told me that you're in love with an evil genius or something like that."

"Sure. That also happened to invent the 20th century. Bonus, he's a vampire. Bonus, he's the hottest guy I've ever seen." Maura spat out.

"Bonus, he'll end up alone."

"Bonus, wait till you see yesterday's episode, Barry. You'll like the ending. So very much."

"Bonus breaker, could we all focus on our victim please?" Jane interrupted them. "I get you, Maura, I mean you're in love with this guy, but what's your problem Barry? You're acting like a crazy fangirl."

"I just want that the woman I like in the show end up with the right guy."

"Well I don't expect you to understand why experience would matter Barry because you clearly don't have it, so yes. Anyway, Helen made her pick. You'll see what I mean."

"Our victim?"

"No, our Helen. My Helen, actually. It's not his until he learns which guys are good for her and which aren't. But she could be yours too." Maura smiled.

"Sorry, I'm not into girls. Not fictional, anyway."Jane didn't exactly know why she added the last part. As a matter of fact, she didn't know why Maura looked sad for a second before she added it. But she was certain that the two weren't connected. Riiiiiight.

"Anyways, our victim here looks the same like our previous one. Except... this little present our killer left us." Saying this, she turned the vic's head on a side, revealing the fact that her hair was burnt on that side. "By the way it looks, I'd say that the killer did this. The burns are too even to think that it was an accident."

"OK, but this is a change in his signature. Why would he do that?"

"He, or she, Jane. I still think it could be a woman."

"Come on. There's no way a woman could be this cruel."

"There is. If she's a vampire girl too."

"Jealousy?"

"You're the cop here Jane. How high is jealousy in the top of killing reasons?"

"Three. You do have a point Maura."

"Of course I do. I think the killer is trying to make a point here. If the victim's hair was burnt, it could mean that she is impersonating someone in the killer's mind. Someone who died in a fire."

"I'm guessing an enemy of the killer."

"Most probably, yes."

"Girls, you need to see this." Barry interrupted. "I got onto Helen's facebook account, and she seems to have a party scheduled tonight."

"A party?"

"Come you, come all, join the darkness, today at midnight. Bring your human servant too, for this is not a party a child of the night should miss." Barry read from the computer screen. "It seems the party will be held at Chandler Inn." he continued.

"This is perfect." Jane said. "I remember the first victim's boyfriend said he met her at a party like this. "It's the perfect chance if we want to find more about this vampire lovers."

"They won't answer to our questions, Jane."

"They will if we go undercover."

"We?"

"Yes, well you are our vampire expert."

"Maybe. But I don't have a vampire servant."

"And you won't have. Sorry, Maura, but I can't let you go with Barry. No one would believe he's your servant, let alone your master. Plus, you two will probably kill each other."

"What do you suggest, then?"

"I'll go with you." Jane said and almost heard Maura gulping. "Unless you want to go with Barry, that is."

"I'll take you, thanks. Just make sure you listen to me." Maura smiled.

"You make sure you listen to me." Jane corrected her. "Sorry, Maura, but I'm more bossy than you."

"So I'll be your pomme du sang?"

"Only for this mission, of course." Jane said hoping that the gutter in her mind didn't show on her face. But given Maura's looks, if it did, her colleague didn't mind it too much...
