A/N I can't tell you how sorry I am that this is chapter is so late.
The only thing I can say is I have been so frustrated between losing all of my information on my computer.
Then having to go and print out all of my chapters from the FF site which helped me. Because now I have hard copies in front of me and I saw and see my own errors.
So I have been not rewriting but hopefully correcting some of the errors that I've seen from the printouts. I am still asking please if you see an big error PM me so I can fix it . Please do not use the review section to point them out out.
Okay enough about me and my little problems on to the story of Vlad and Billie. I had my husband point out to me that Billy is the spelling of a boy and Billie is for a girl so I will have to go back and fix all of that in my 9 chapters.

Chapter 10
The Investigator And A Vampire Plan And Stop The Van Hellsings
Thomas called Vlad and let him know that the three gentlemen had already made out their plan to abduct Billie .
The call came in early in the evening right after sundown looking at his cell phone Vlad noticed the number and answered it right away.
Vlad answered the phone by saying "hello Thomas I take it you have news for me or you wouldn't be calling me so soon after our discussion."
Thomas said "you are right Vlad the main reason I'm calling is because they are planning to kidnap her tomorrow night.
There are a couple of reasons I'm calling you I wanted to put forth a few ideas on how to handle this situation and possibly take care of the kidnappers for a long time.
Vlad decided not to have this discussion on his cell phone so he said "I'll be at your office in 10 minutes to discuss these other alternative ways to handle these men.
Sitting at his desk Thomas looked at his watch he couldn't help the chuckle but came out as he solves Vlad coming in the door right on time.
Thomas politely pointed to the chair that was on the other side of his desk and said "I have a proposals for you on how to handle these men.
Before we get to that I need to explain to you that my investigation firm mainly handles cheating husbands cheating wives and we also handle fraud cases we investigate to see if an employee is not as sick as they say.
We also handle security celebrities or royalty like yourself you did tell me you were a prince in this line of business there is a fine line when someone or a few someone's house made a plan and going to execute that plan to breaking the law.
Glad gave him a questioning look but then asked "what are you trying to tell me Thomas what exactly are you getting at as they say?"
Thomas looked at Vlad over his desk and said " Vlad if I do not report these men for their plan to kidnap your young lady I could lose my license as an investigator I can not let that happen.
Vlad I built this business up all by myself I can't afford to lose it not to worry I have an idea where we both get what we want I have some favors saved up I will call some friends.
You may not like this part but it will work right as your lady friend is being kidnapped those three gentlemen can be arrested attempted kidnapping.
Seeing Vlad's face of displeasure Thomas explained more saying "do you know how many years in prison if you are caught try to kidnap someone ?
Vlad shook his head no and said "no but I have a feeling you're going to tell me and I have a feeling I might like the results of this alternative solution."
Thomas chuckled and said "you might like my idea after all the minimum is 20 years for just attempted kidnapping Vlad I do have to let you know.
The only way we can actually catch them and catch them with your lady friend is to let them kidnap her and stop them Vlad creased his forehead in deep thought and said "I see what you mean we would have to catch them with Billie unwilling in their car.
Thomas nodded his head and said "unfortunately yes we could catch them as their holding her and trying to get her into the car but that is attempted.
If we catch them with her being forced into the car and being restrained in that said car you will have a better chance of the him being arrested.
Now here is a warning depending when or rather what time of day they are arrested they may be able to make bail and be out of jail that night."
Vlad did not like the sound of that and asked "what do you mean by that they could get out that night ?" Thomas said " I don't think that will happen but you should know and be warned they could make bail and be out until the trial.
I have a big feeling since they are from out of this country they will be remanded that means they will stay in jail they will be told to leave your lady friend alone.
If they try to go after her again the courts will throw them in jail and loose the key till the trial Vlad asked "So there could be a chance a small chance that they could get out of jail and attempt to go after my bride to be again ?"
Thomas said "there is a chance yes and like I said because of the circumstances and being caught red-handed it's a very very small chance the courts will see them as a flight risk.
they will be ask for their passports and ask for them to be held in jail till the trial Vlad stood and walked over to the window in deep thought then said "it is the only way I see that she could be free of these men.
Although I do not like the idea that they could get out and trying to take her again let's go with your plan." Vlad chuckled then Thomas chuckled but more out of shock and Thomas said "I have to say Vlad I am very surprised.
Not to mention grateful you trust me with this situation I know it seems I'm asking a lot to put your lady friend in danger I'm confident in my men.
Along with the officers that will be there to ensure that your lady friend will not be unwillingly detained by those three men." Vlad said "you are correct I do not like Billie being put in this position or being scared by these men.
in the long run they will not touch her again and you my friend would not have to worry about losing your license for your investigating business go ahead with your plan .just make sure that Billie is not hurt and when it's all over you bring her to me.
I will take care of her after that horrific ordeal."Getting out from behind his desk and walking over to the fireplace where there was already a nice warming fire in the hearth .
Vlad always loved a good fire it reminded him of his younger days in the palace and having fires in each and every fireplace .
Vlad sat behind his desk looking over the latest reports from his investigators he had a very satisfied smile on his face Thanks to Thomas's investigators all three Van Helsing's were arrested for kidnapping not just attempting to kidnap Billie.
After Thomas personally brought Billie to Vlad's residence and was given her own personal bedroom Vlad had to go to her room three different times to comfort her after she woke up screaming because she relived the being kidnapped.
It wasn't that long that she was in the trunk of that car but the damage has been done to her psyche every time she closed her eyes she relived the experience there she was getting off the bus walking towards her apartment.
Half a block from her apartment a are drives by her nothing too significant about that then the car stops Jonathan van Helsing jumps out and so does another gentleman and grabs Billie.
She puts up a struggle and screamed but they gaged her and they decided to throw her in the trunk quickly getting the trunk open binding her hands and throwing her in she was still kicking.
Just as they closed the lid on the trunk and went to get back into the car all three men were surrounded by five security guards and six police officers.
They were arrested on the spot and as Thomas Warned they did try to make bail but were told no because they were caught red handed with Billy in their trunk they were remanded and passports taken till the trial .
So to say that Vlad was happy about the circumstances would be a great understatement even knowing it really frustrated him for her to even go through this he hated it when he entered the room and saw her face staring into the fire .
Hearing screams coming from the bedroom again he raced at vampire speed didn't bother with formalities and just went into the room.
Walking over to the bed he picked her up and held her in his arms her face buried in his chestm kissing her forehead and as she cried he was saying sweet nothings in hopes it would calm and comfort her.
Vlad let out a growl and muttered under his breath to know one really in the room he said "those blasted Van Helsing's ."
Billie finally out of tears looked up at Vlad and said "don't get me wrong I'm glad I'm here but why am I here. In your house."
Vlad knew he had to choose his words carefully and said " Billy my sweet Billy you must understand that in my world I have many enemies.
Wherever you go you may not be able to see them but I have security and I wanted you to be protected as well Billie said "I think I kind of understand from the time that we met in you help me off the ground.
The other times that we spent together there's something going on between us I don't quite know how to explain it but there is something."
Vlad gave her nod and said "you my dear are so right just like when I helped you stand up and I looked at you He chuckled a bit at the memory.
He continued speaking "hair soaked clinging to your head and your clothing soaked clinging to your body you were beautiful and I wanted at that moment to know everything about you.
When you said yes two a date with me my heart skipped a beat Silently saying to himself that is If you had a heart beat it would have skipped a beat for it has not beaten so so long .
You have no idea how happy I was that I can escort you home to make sure you made it there safely." For you see My Billie in a short time you've come to mean so much to me from the first time I saw you,
That is why I wanted to put you under my protection if some of my enemies saw you with me to hurt me they would hurt you." Billy liked the idea of some to care for her but still this also caused her to wonder .
So she asked "Vlad I don't understand how important are you in your country I mean you sound like you're part of a royal family?" Still wanting to choose his words carefully so not to scare her off Vlad said "there is no real monarch in my land.
The royal line is more of a figurehead these days if the monarch was still in charge I would've been next to in line for the throne those of my land still consider me the Prince.
It is a figurative term these days and my people like to use me for diplomatic reasons although around the world I'm still considered the Prince and treated just as any other royal subject would be treated."
I do not want you to worry about my status I am a prince and I will use the figure head position only to help my people the reasons I gave you is still true I wanted to travel and not to mention I am a very successful businessmen.
I am here to look into some of my businesses I have acquired years ago I like to keep the managers I have in place on their toes so to speak.
I have many businesses around the world and I own stocks in many different companies I have managers to take care of it all."
Now that I have answered many of your questions and fears at least I hope I did can we move on from here I know with all this unpleasentness you may feel uneasy Billie asked "what is it Vlad ? I van see you are leading to something."
Vlad chuckled and came to his piont and said "Billie tomorrow night is the ball that I invited you to please tell me you're still interested in going I so very much want you to go with me.
I want to walk into that ballroom with you on my arm Billie I want to dance with you please say you still want to go with me Billie for her part was still processing everything that he had told her.
She still trying to wrap her head around everything that she was told but being a sensible person that she was sure what to say it out loud but she thought I spent entirely too much on that dress.
I guess that's a good excuse at least I hope it is a good enough exscuse it'll be ashamed not to be able to actually wear it. Maybe I can put everything aside for one night and enjoy myself with the most incredibly handsome man I've ever met.
Billie looked up at Vlad and said "yes I would still like to go with you to the ball the other things that you told me tonight I thank you for being so truthful it's a bit much for me right now.
So I've decided to kind of put it off to the side to think about it later I think after everything we've been through the needed nightly this ball just to get help get to know each other better and spend time together
And to be honest I would really like to know how good of dance you are I took lessons when I was younger my uncle helped."Vlad chuckled and said "you will get your chance tomorrow evening my Billie you will see that I'm a very good dancer.
I can't wait to see you in that dress I was hoping you wouldn't think me to forward for sending you that dress."Billie chuckled and said "you have Lucy to thank for that I didn't think it was a little too forward but she talked me into it"
Vlad came up with a great plan to earn him some extra brownie points you might say Vlad called his friend Thomas and asked to see if there were any more tickets to the ball he found out that there were three more.
He bought one more and he asked if his other companion could be seated with him as well turns out there was another seat at their table.
Vlad asked Billie "what size dress does your friend wear?" Billie taken back by this question but decided to answer she said "the same size as me she has red hair though and blue eyes. What are you thinking of doing ?"
Vlad chuckled but didn't answer all he did was pick up the phone and call the same store that he got the formal gown for Billie
Giving them the specifics that Billie had just revealed about Lucy and sent a formal gown to her he turned the phone over to Billie when he was done and told her to call Lucy and tell her a dress and a ticket to the charity ball is heading her way.
This way you won't feel as awkward and I want you to be comfortable tomorrow night I want you to be happy.
Billie gave Vlad a big hug looked up at him slightly and said "you do realize I need to head home tonight tomorrow is a big exam I have note to study.
Well along with studying after the exam Lucy and I can help each other get dressed for this big ball."Vlad thought about it and decided to concede to her wishes after all the Van Helsings were in jail and will be there till the trial.
Thomas informed him he has people reporting if there are any one with the Van Helsing name coming from Europe so glad made arrangements for the limo to take Billie back to her apartment so she could study for a big exam.
Vlad liked the idea that he had to admit it to himself only of making this a real date picking her up with his limo.
Escorting her to the dance well her and her friend but at this ball he will make sure there is be no doubt that Billie is the one he is with.
So Vlad took Billie home to her apartment and he decided after a block away to walk home telling the driver to stop the care and he exited it and walked so he could find his meal for the night .
It was a clear night excellent for hunting in Vlad's mind and he needed to get his pinned up frustration out of his system although he has to say he held himself very well when Billie was in the house but after everything that happened.
He needed to feed and quickly even knowing he knew what was going to happen to Billie he still didn't like it look aground at his surroundings as he's walking noticed a small park with a running track.
He decided to investigate their were two men running the men honestly didn't know what hit them they first saw a man standing on the side of the track watching them.
Then all the sudden the man was right in front of them making them stop and since Vlad was one of the most powerful vampires in the world.
He managed to persuade the two gentlemen to be his meal for that night now walking back to the hotel no longer hungry the frustration and him lacks little bit so he could actually enjoy the walk back to the hotel.
Not realizing earlier so that he and Billie were not interrupted he turned off his phone and forgot about it which leads to the reason why when he entered the hotel the desk manager called him over to the lobby desk.
Walking over to the desk the Desk manager told him the a man Named Thomas has left several messages for him politely thinking the man and headed upstairs so that he could have this conversation with Thomas in private.
Worried that the three they tried to kidnap Billie were out on what they called Bail he quickly grabbed out his phone calling Thomas and saying "you must forgive me Thomas I did not want to be interrupted so I turned off my cell phone."
Thomas understood and said "I just wanted to check in and see how your lady friend was and to report those three are still in jail.
And I'm calling to let you know that yes there is a van Helsing on their way here from Europe apparently he's a lawyer that's practices in Europe and America" Vlad did not blike the sound of this .
Vlad said "I see and I thank you for calling you to let me know do you think there's any trouble for Billie."
Thomas didn't hesitate to answer that by saying "I don't think they're going to be any real trouble with this even if they do get out the police know that they tried to kidnap this young woman.
They were caught red-handed with her in their trunk not to mention with hands bound behind her back and a gag in her mouth so the police are going to pay attention to her and protect her more."
Vlad thought for a minute then said " well in that case I will take your word for it that Billie is more protected now she is at her apartment as we speak.
She wanted to go home and study for a test that is for tomorrow at her college then her and her friend Lucy will attend the ball with me.
Thomas thought for a moment then said "this Lucy is she the one you bought the extra ticket for ?" Vlad said "yes to help calm Billie I thought it would be nice to invite her friend as well so she didn't feel as awkward."
Thomas chuckled and said "you've helped me in a big way and for that my friend I thank you my wife invited her nephew. He's about the same age as Billie and I'm assuming this Lucy is about the same age as her.
Perhaps we could play a little matchmaker You see I know my wife she would not want to leave her nephew there a loan for a very long. With you bringing this other young lady.
Perhaps my wife's nephew and her will get along so that we both could spend time with Our ladies Vlad was outright laughing at Thomas's comment.
Vlad finally said "oh my friend I would like that very much now I am very glad I bought that extra ticket." After a few more details was given to Vlad they hung up their phones and Vlad went into his little study.
Where the fire was still going nicely and sat down next to it to warm himself and deciding on his next moves and how to woo his lady love.
