Chapter 9
It had taken Violet longer than expected to find her cell. She only had a couple of minutes before her break was over. Her encounter with the man in the alley still haunted her. A part of her want to know more about him but the more cautious part wondered whether he was a threat. Violet hurried to the employee entrance.
"How was your break, Violet?" Candy asked.
"Fast as usual," Violet replied.
"Some people have been asking about you." Candy grabbed some drinks and placed them on her tray.
"What people?" Violet tried not to sound too concerned.
"Two cute guys and a couple."
"Are these people still here?"
"Yeah, there over there."
Violet didn't recognize the guys but she did recognize the couple. Something wasn't right. She flagged down her manager.
"I'm not feeling too well. You mind if I go home early?"
I really can't afford to lose one of my servers but I don't want her getting sick in front of the customers either.
"Sure, Violet. I hope you feel better."
She headed to the back.
Henry saw Violet going in back. "I think we have been made."
Henry lead the way as they exited the club via the front entrance. Dean, Sam and Henry continued to pursue Violet while Coreen returned to Henry's car.
Violet had just emerged from the employee entrance when she heard two heartbeats. She acted oblivious as she rounded the corner. Sam, Dean and Henry followed.
Dean shined his flashlight down the alley. "Where the hell did she go?"
Henry could hear sounds below the street. He lifted the manhole cover and tossed it aside. "She went into the sewers."
Sam raised his eyebrows. "How did you know that?
"I heard her." Henry leaped into the sewer. Sam and Dean looked at each other in disbelief and climbed down the ladder.
"I don't like this. We don't have a plan and we still don't know what we're dealing with." Sam brandished his gun.
" I agree with Sam but time is not on our side," Henry chimed in.
"Sam, I know you don't like going into a situation without a plan but this time that's not an option."
Sam shook his head. I don't like it but Henry and Dean are right.
Henry no longer heard Violet. He only heard rats scurrying through the tunnels.
"Well, is it door number one or door number two," Dean said to Henry and Sam.
"I think we should split up. We will cover more ground. I will go right while you two go left," Henry said to Sam and Dean.
"Is that wise going off by yourself? You don't even have a weapon but I guess you don't need one when you are a weapon." Sam said to Henry.
Henry's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by that, Sam?"
"You know what I mean. You lifted a manhole cover like it was nothing and heard Violet through the street. There is only one thing I know of that has strength and heightened senses like that. A vampire."
"You are very perceptive, Sam."
"How do we know that you're not responsible for the girls' murders? You could have lured us down here to get rid of us," Dean said.
"Why would I be helping you if I was the murderer?" Besides if I wanted you dead, you would be dead. If you two are done interrogating me, maybe we can get back to the business at hand finding Violet," Henry said defensively.
"Okay," Dean said while Sam nodded.
They went in opposite directions.
As the brothers neared the end of the tunnel, it split into two smaller tunnels. Sam went left and Dean went right.
"Sam, we'll meet back here in ten minutes"
"Sure, Dean. And I'll make sure I look both ways before crossing the street."
Dean threw his younger brother a dirty look while Sam smiled. They continued down opposite tunnels.
Violet had been observing her tall pursuer since he had reached the midway point of the tunnel. She waited until he was further away from the others. She pounced onto his back and he tumbled to the ground. His gun slid from his grasp. The young man struggled with her as he reached for his gun. Violet slammed his head off the ground. His body went limp. She lifted him off the ground, threw him over her shoulder and climbed out of the tunnel.
Henry had just finished checking his side of the sewer when he heard a commotion in the distance. The vampire sped to the other side and ran into Dean.
"Dean, I heard something. Where's Sam?"
Dean yelled as he ran down the other tunnel. "Sam, Sammy." Henry beat him to the end of the tunnel. All they found was Sam's gun and droplets of blood.
