Chapter 3…is going to be jumping from city to city. So you can meet the other hunters. Mick and Leon grapple with each other and things blow up.
I do not own Moonlight. If I did it would be airing new episodes.
Chapter 3
Chicago
Hunter tossed his partner and friend a sandwich and sat down next to him. "So…who were you talking to?" Hunter asked.
Matt sighed and showed the text message to Hunter. "We're needed. Now." He said. "Who's driving?"
"You are. I drove here." Hunter said.
The two ate and drank their coffee. Matt took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Who are you calling?" Hunter asked.
"Rex." Matt said. "To see how bad this really is."
Hunter took out a cigarette and lit it. "You know that's going to kill you." Matt said.
"I'm surprised I've lived this long." Hunter said. "Fuck it."
Matt sighed. "Give me one." He said. "Rex how bad is this?"
Hunter lit another cigarette and gave it to Matt. Matt looked at him and then inhaled deeply. "Alright. We're on our way now." He hung up. "Let's go."
"Alright." Hunter said.
"Why do you always light the cigarette for me?" Matt asked. "That's disgusting."
"You always say that the cigarette is going to kill me. So I'm taking you down with me." Hunter said. He started laughing and tossed the keys to Matt.
"You are a peculiar man my friend." Matt said. He inhaled on the cigarette again and tossed it away.

Los Angeles
Rex walked down the hall in her suit and knocked on the door at the end of the hall. "Come in." A voice said.
Rex walked in and closed the door. "Sebastian we've got a problem."
Sebastian looked up from his computer. "What?" He asked.
"Xavier and Jack are dead." Rex said. "Explosions in their hotel rooms."
"Both of them?" Sebastian asked. "You just spoke to them."
"Well they're both dead now. Want me to contact the others?"
Sebastian sighed. "I'll do it." He made a fist. "Did they have any family?"
"Xavier had a niece and nephew. Then Jack had a younger sister." Rex said.
"This is not happening." Sebastian said.
"All do respect it is." Rex said. She turned around and left the office. She walked about ten feet and took out her cell phone. She dialed a number and waited. "It's done." She said and hung up.

Mick and Beth walked down the street. "What is up with Night?" Beth asked.
"Oh…it takes awhile but he grows on you." Mick said. "I've known him since I was turned. He's okay."
Beth smiled. "I never knew a vampire could have a mental illness."
"He's one of the few." Mick said.
The two started to cross the street when Mick stopped. "Everything okay?" Beth asked.
"Watch out!" Mick pulled Beth out of the way of a motorcycle speeding by.
The driver spun out of control and his bike flew into a tree. Hitting the driver. "Oh my God…" Beth said. She ran over to the driver.
The driver slowly removed his cracked helmet and it was revealed that he had a large gash over his left eyebrow. "Fucking helmets don't do shit." He said. "Hey sweetheart."
"How are you still alive?" Beth asked.
Mick ran over. "I'm calling 911."
"Don't do that." The stranger said. "I'm fine…"
Mick looked at the driver. "You need stitches." He looked at Beth and then back at him. "You look familiar. I mean really familiar. You also smell like a vampire…Leon?"
Leon spat out blood. "At your service. Mick St. John." He looked at Beth. "You're the Buzzwire reporter. Help me up please."
"Are you sure?" Beth asked.
"Yeah…" Leon said. "Mick come on."
Mick moved the motorcycle out of the way and helped Leon up. "Oh shit…" Leon said. "Takes a while to heal now."
"You're a vampire." Mick said.
"No. Not anymore. I'm human." Leon said. "You should try it sometime. Well mostly human."
Beth looked at the two. "You used to be a vampire?"
"Yeah. The only thing I have left from being a bloodsucker is the fangs, the healing and then the strength. So a lot of things. But you know…" Leon sighed. He blinked a couple of times and his was starting to heal. "Man I have to get another bike now…"
"What the hell are you doing in L.A.?" Mick asked.
"I'm working." Leon said. He flashed his fangs. "I hunt vampires now. But don't worry sweetheart I'm not here to hurt your boyfriend."
"We're not…" Beth said.
"Leon…what's going on?" Mick asked. "Do you know where Coraline is?"
"I haven't seen her since you went haywire and left her." Leon said. "Thank the non-existent God for that. She was crazy. We need to talk."
"Talk about what?" Mick asked.
"Simon." Leon said. "Come on."
Mick helped Leon start walking along with Beth. After they got about twenty feet Leon stopped. "Hang on a minute." He took out his keys and pressed a button. The motorcycle exploded.
"What the hell?" Mick asked.
"Can't exactly have the cops looking for me." Leon said. "Ow…take it easy sweetheart." He said to Beth.
"My name is Beth." Beth said.
"Well you're responding to sweetheart." Leon said.
Mick grabbed Leon's ear. "Take it easy Leon." Mick said.
"Ow! Son of a bitch!" Leon said. "Uncle…"
"Let's get out of here." Mick said. "Where to Leon?"
"I'll drive. Where's your car?" Leon asked.
A lot of dialogue again and I decided to have Mick and Leon know each other from awhile back. I also decided to kill off Xavier and Jack before you actually met them because I have to many characters and whatever. Please R&R.
Next chapter I bring in Matt and Hunter. Then Mick starts to get a little violet to find out what the 'permanent' cure is to become a human again.
