Eric ignored Pam as he went in the now empty club, but Pam followed him determined to get some answers. He went to his office and shut the door, but Pam knocked on it so hard she almost broke the wood.
"You're fixing that, come in" Pam entered and stood until Eric said she could sit down.
"You know what's coming, what's wrong? Sookie not returning your calls?" Pam asked.
"This has nothing to do with her"
"Yeah right,You're gonna use the ex V seller to get in touch with her" Pam guessed.
"I can't lose Laffayette, he's the most skilled salesman we have"
"So? There's plenty more out there, we find other one"
"It's not that simple" Said Eric.
"Listen to me, you're under no pressure from the Queen anymore, why did ya fake the fire alarm?"
"Seeing guys slobber all over each other isn't my idea of fun" Eric told her. "Well then go out" Said Pam. "Take your mind off things" Eric looked at the bar counter. Pam was right, he had to see Lafayette find out what he knew about his new "friend" If Lafayette found out Jesus wasn't perfect he could come crawling back to Eric. Eric sped to Lafayette's and politely knocked on the door. Lafayette had changed out of his party clothes. Jesus hadn't come back to his or even called and Lafayette told himself that he didn't care but Eric could feel that he did. Eric came in and sat down, trying to be as professional as possible. He actually wanted to help Lafayette, and didn't want the help thrown back in his face.
"This isn't going to be easy for me to say"
"Just spit it out, you make Sam fire me? Set me up for a murder I didn't do? Put my sell number on my site?" Said Lafayette.
"It's about your friend, I assume he hasn't come back"
"Thanks to you"
"Pardon"
"Without you sticking ya nose in our business, he wouldn't have sneaked away from the club" Eric put each of his palms on his thighs. For once he actually wasn't doing this for evil purposes. He told himself he was doing Lafayette a favour. After all he'd want to know what Pam was doing behind his back. But considering the type of guys and girls she had her eye on lately maybe not. Eric decided to take an easier tack.
"I'm afraid I don't think he's human"
"Neither are you what's ya point?" Said Lafayette, Eric knew he was rigt, but wanted Lafayette to know it was more serious than that.
"He associates with vampires, I suspect he may a member of some kind of cult" Eric told him flatly. Lafayette nodded but wasn't really taking it all in. Eric was pissed that Lafayette had quit and was trying to make him feel pain. Lafayette wouldn't bring it up to Jesus, it would just create more problems and he just wanted to relax. Though he couldn't. Not with Eric on his sofa. Eric braced himself to tell Lafayette the worst part. He knew the ex V seller would be upset but Eric thought he'd be able to handle the reaction.
"There's something else" Said Eric.
"More exciting than the boring shit you've just told me?" Lafayette Asked. Eric looked straight ahead and carried on, willing Lafayette to believe this.
"Jesus is more than friends with them, he was in a compromising position with a male vampire"
"Only you could go that low"
"It's true"
"True my ass, you wouldn't know that truth if it cut your dick off" Eric figured that Lafayette was angry, but now he knew the truth, Eric assumed that he could get Lafayette to think about selling again, or a least get rid of unfaithful Jesus. But Lafayette couldn't be convinced.
"Your dead ass is lying"
"Lafayette it's odd that you'll believe he's not completely human and knows vampires, but that fact that he's cheated on you, you refuse to accept"
"Cause it didn't happen"
"Lafayette examine him if you don't believe me" Challenged Eric.
"What?"
"Take it from me, when vampires become...intimate with others, the receiver, will have fang markings. If Jesus doesn't have any, go back to your pit of denial" Said Eric. He left, annoyed that Lafayette couldn't see what was right in front of him. Jesus came back an hour later and Lafayette greeted him with a hug, sliding his hands over his back for any signs of proof. Lafayette led Jesus to his room and kissed him. Jesus responded by taking his shirt off and laying on the bed. Lafayette kissed him on the cheek and then his neck, pausing when his lips felt puncture marks. "Jesus, what's this?" Said Lafayette, touching the wounds.
"Those vamps I met sure like to party" Jesus replied. Lafayette didn't like the sound of that.
"Really? What did ya guys do?" Lafayette asked, hoping there was a good explaination.
Taking down trees, throwing bottles, I got hit all over the place...wanna kiss it better?" Lafayette took a deep breath. Eric was right, and Lafayette knew that the only way he was gonna get to the bottom of Jesus's activities was to do something really wrong. Eric went back to fangtasia and Pam had just come in herself. "Why are you here?" Eric asked her.
"Waiting for you" Pam said.
"I'll sort the everything tomorrow, you should rest"
"Eric do ya know what I'm wearing?" Pam asked.
"Your usual tight leather form fitting garments" Eric said.
"Someone else's blood, usually you would have sussed that out the second you saw me, what's going on?"
"Who's blood is it?" Eric asked, even though he didn't care.
"Eric, don't change the subject, if it's about the V dealer there are ways of forcing him to do it"
"I'm aware of that Pam, coercion is not the answer"
"Fine, find someone low class and low rent like him to fill his shoes"
"Pam go home"
"Not until you say..." Pam began.
"Pamela, get...out" Eric said threateningly. Although Pam knew he'd never really hurt her Pam was near the doors when she realised what was going on and put two and two together.
"Oh my god" Said Pam
"He doesn't exist here" Barked Eric.
"V was just the cover, you...you feel something for him, don't you?
