Minnie's eyes were peeled as she scoured the ground from her place in Blared's hands. He was carrying her as they flew over the tops of the houses. She spotted a long lost fountain in a circular alley. They descended and Blared lowered her down. " Nope." Minnie said as she examine the basin the fountain drained into. " Hello." She said as she spotted a tiny square button. It was in the center of a flower and sun behind it. Minnie brushed the dust off of it. As she did, she pushed it in. She felt the fountain shake. " What the. Blared, help." Blared flew down to her.

" You people. Can't a vampire just have a little peace and quiet?" Blared complained as he landed and slithered over to Minnie.

" No." Minnie said and then she heard it. The crunching noise as the bottom of the fountain parted, revealing a spiral staircase leading down ward. The water flowed down the sides, creating a wall of water around it. " You coming?" Minnie asked as she jumped onto the rim.

" I'm not a very big fan of water." Blared said. Minnie gave him a look and he shook his head. " I know I'm going to regret this." Blared said as he lifted himself over the edge and tripped. He fell down most of the stairs before he hovered himself upright. Minnie skipped down the stairs. They went deeper into the fountain depths and Minnie heard the wall close back up. The water stopped. It cascaded down and hit, with a splash, the pool waiting at the bottom. Minnie walked down the last few steps and drew her pistol. Blared gave her a quizzical look.

"Just in case." Minnie reassured him.

" Yeah, you're just scared." Blared said. He flew forward and hovered over the landing.

" I am not scared." Minnie remarked as she stepped off of the last step. She looked forward and gasped. A small walk way connected the platform to a giant island floating in the middle of the underground ocean.

" This is new." Was all Blared replied. Minnie moved forward with her pistol in hand and her sword ready at her side.

" Well come on." Minnie shouted back. Blared jumped forward and quickly sped up to her rate. They passed through the arches that lined the small walkway to the island.

Minnie pushed open the gates and rolled in. She smashed into a few booths and toppled over a table. " I'm okay." She said as she got to her feet and picked up her pistol. She heard a click and saw another pistol pointed at her.

"Drop it and back away." The dog said as some of his mates drew up behind him. Minnie dropped it. " Outsider, eat lead." The man started to pull the trigger when his face went pale. He dropped his gun. Some of the men ran away screaming.

"Ah, a greeting party! How do you do?" Blared said as he stretched out his hand to the man. The man collapsed. "Why do they always do that? Am I that ugly?" Blared asked Minnie as he stared at the body.

"Must not be used to a vampire." Minnie said as she picked up the gun. She got a glimpse of the badge the man wore.

Chief Berscout

Head of Union Police Group

Secretary of Protection.

" Not a very nice chief." Blared said as he and Minnie hovered off into the city.
