Chapter 4: What do we do, Regis

"What do we do Regis, this cant go on any longer. God only knows what those poor girls are going through" said a very worried Mani Carondolet. His wrinkled face cringing looking at the gruesome pictures placed in front of him.

"We'll get to that later . As of now we are going over the places where the murders and disappearances have occurred the most." Charles said. " I know how you feel but we cant rush things"

"As of recently the most severe cases have been in Barcelona, Shanghai, Rome, and Rio. There are a couple more places but they are not as important as these major cities." Allegra Force said. Looking as if she could vomit any minute if she had to keep looking at the picture.

"That does not sound good at all. We must do something before the red bloods start realizing that something is going on. Even in the red blood community it is rare that so many women are disappearing at such a high rate." said Margret Van Horn, adjusting her half-moon glasses. Then putting a strand of loose hair in the back of her ear, not that it helped much since she had a bob hair cut.

"We know that Miss. Van Horn" replied a very impatient Regis. " That is why my wife and I have decided to go on a family "vacation" to Barcelona." Charles didn't want his kids to get involved in his affairs, he loved them too much. It was true that they weren't actually his kids since blue bloods couldn't reproduce (except Gabrielle aka Allegra) but he really did consider Schuyler and Jack as his own.

"Don't think about it too much, love, Jack will understand. And Schuyler as well when she regains her memories"

"Gabrielle you know very well we cant tell Jack anything. I don't want him involved in this matter"

"I know, but I have a feeling he will start suspecting that something is up when we suddenly decide to go on a vacation"

"We always go on vacations so I'm sure he wont think it out of the ordinary. And anyways I'm positive he will be too preoccupied looking over Schuyler."

"Are you sure Regis, I feel like we should all go and investigate" Page Stewart a middle aged women In the fashion industry said. Although she was middle aged Charles noticed she didn't look a day over 25, he suspected that a little too much human blood could do that too a person.

"No that is quite all right Page, we cant put attention to ourselves. I have decided that only my family and I are going" Charles declared.

"But sir, are you sure that you want Abbadon there, what if something happens to him then we would also have lost him. God only knows where Azr….." But Joshua was frozen to place when he saw the look that Charles gave him. Everybody knew better than to mention Azreal in front of Michael.

"That does not concern you Mr. Barlow" Charles said glaring at his partner.

"Yes sir, im sorry it wont happen again" Joshua said looking down at the floor, not knowing what to do with his hands.

" I hope so"

"Michael calm down, he didn't do anything"

Sighing Charles (Michael) glances at the board next to him. It was a picture of a girl who's face was so unrecognizable not even him being a vampire could know what it looked like. The girl was found in a trash bin in Rio, bruises covered a good 90% of her body. There were also whip marks on her back, chest and even her face. Some were so deep that you could see her bones, many of which were broken probably from the great beating that she was given.

When the red bloods had examined her they had determined that the girl had been raped by a foreign object, but that was as far as they got since the blue bloods had decided to intervene. The child could have been between the ages of 15 and 25. They had also determined that she had had blond hair and blue eyes, not that you could tell by first sight. She was covered in blood, her own. She was also covered in puncture wounds all over her neck and body something that only Blue Bloods could have detected, meaning that whoever attacked her wasn't a human but a vampire.

Charles was glad that she had died, not because he was cruel and didn't care about red bloods but because he didn't want her to have continued to suffer. Something that was pretty obvious when looking at what had happened to her. The family must be worried to death, especially since they may never know the identity of the girl.

"Regis once you go to Barcelona what will you do" Asked Page, interrupting his train of thought. He was thankful for it.

"I will look around and see what is going on, maybe nothing but we cant be sure until we check"

"We will call for backup if we need help" Allegra added.

"Thank you all for coming, its getting very late and I don't want to keep everyone up. We shall continue this another day" Charles said relieving everyone of the misery of looking at that picture. As every one started leaving Allegra added.

" We appreciate all of your work, we wouldn't be able to do this without a support system. My husband and I will try our best to solve this mystery or at best get a lead as to what or whom is doing this" Everybody turned and gave at least a smile to their queen, hopping that she was right. The members then left with their own thoughts and worries but putting on a poker face. This was a secret that was only known to them, and it was going to stay that way until Charles decided otherwise.

Once alone Charles sat down in his chair exhausted from all that was going on. Red Bloods kept disappearing and at first he just thought that it was another human kidnapping. That was until the house of seven, including himself, noticed that not everything was as it seemed. The humans, rarely male, were almost always drained. They had suspected that it was a psycho blue blood doing it until they found the mark of Lucifer (a sword piercing a star) on the victims neck. The mark was unseen by anything other than a blue blood.

Anyone would have just said that it was a blue blood acting like a silver blood but what most didn't know, save for him and the other seven member, was that only a true silver blood could duplicate the mark. This fact was what made it a serious matter, and could not be left alone to be out in the hands of humans.

"Charles im going home. It really is getting very late and I'm worried about our kids" Allegra then gave Charles a kiss and left to go back home. Just as he felt her get on her car and drive away the T.V turned on. There he saw a figure with a simple black mask that covered all of his face. Charles couldn't even see the color of the mans eyes.

"Is there something that you need" Charles asked not wanting to go through a long introduction.

"Blunt as ever, Michael. I have heard a few interesting things recently" The masked man asked.

"Is that so, and what would that be"

"That you are interested in those mysterious cases. I really do not think you should be butting in and trying to save the day. It could get very dangerous" He chuckled, the thing dared to laugh. Who did he think he was, Charles thought.

" And what if I don't" Charles challenged.

"I have heard that you really care about your family Mr. Force, you wouldn't want anything to happen to them, now would you. That really wouldn't, oh what do humans call it, oh yes, get you the father of the year award" He then chuckled again, an unpleasant sound.

"Don't you dare try anything" Charles was mad, if the man was in front of him his head would be separated from his neck by now.

" I have told you what I was supposed to, now you may do as you please" The man finally started to sound serious.

"How dare you, you shall regret this dearly. When I find you I…" but Charles didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. The T.V. turned itself off and the masked man was gone. Charles was going to fire all of his tech crew, how could the idiots have allowed this to happen, no one was supposed to or even able to override their system. It was the best and safest in the world, not anymore he guessed.

"And what would you like to drink sir" The bartender said.

"Vodka" Not that it was going to get him drunk, vampires didn't get drunk. But he needed to erase the image of that poor girl out of his mind. He thought about Schuyler, what it would have been like if it was her instead of the blond. Charles was terrified to even think about it.

When Allegra decided to have kids she made it clear that she wanted Jack to be born first so he could help Schuyler through the process. While he was trying to find a name for their kids Allegra decided to keep them the same as before because she didn't want Schuyler to have a million identities. Schuyler was Schuyler and that was that. Plus Allegra really liked the name Jack so she also gave his the same as well.

Not only that but she made Charles and herself change their names. She wanted Schuyler to have the family that she never could. As messed up as it was. Their being brother and sister was very shocking to Charles. He didn't think it was a good idea but Allegra had insisted and that was the end of that. Ever since then Charles had come to dearly love Schuyler as his own. And thinking of that girl treated the way she was made him tremble with hate and anger.

Once Charles left the bar he started to smell a very strong odor. The closer he got to it the stronger it got. The smell was leading him in a dark alleyway.

Then he noticed a body, the girl was dead. Bloodless. Drained.
