Chapter 10
I Hate Tests
After dealing with the food critique, Earlson rushed back outside to see if Lacroix was still sticking around. Sure enough the Prince was standing with the Sheriff behind him and speaking with Isaac, away from eyes. They looked angry at each other like a pair of sour children and were waving their hands from their agitated argument.
"You're done already?" Asked Isaac, breaking the conversation as he looked over the short Prince's head, "That was fast compared to the other jobs you did for me. Did you finally learn how to work properly and not get sidetracked? Or do you just like Lacroix more then me?"
"The food critique… lasting long in bed was not his forte…" Earlson frowned in annoyance, he had to pump himself to release after the critique fainted after his own and resist not taking the unconscious man in payback. Frustrating. A smirk spread over his face as he registered what else Isaac said, "And I like you both very equally. But… how about we all go to a hotel and see who can make me like them the…"
"No, Sheriff follow us in the skies." The Sheriff nodded and vanished into the shadows, with his smirk still plastered on his face Earlson followed Lacroix through the streets with Isaac on his other side, "You did well, even if there was no need for you to go off and… you know… please contain yourself."
The smirk on his face spread as Lacroix struggled to tell him off, "I told you once, and I will tell you again. I can't say…"
"Mr. Helsing!" Both Isaac and Lacroix frowned and looked at each other, was there someone really so unlucky to have that last name, if they turned into a vampire it would be the butt of all jokes...
"Shit." Releasing the sharp curse causing the two older Kindred to look at him in surprise, Earlson pulled his nicest smile and turned the beautiful dark skinned woman behind them, "Hello. If it isn't Samantha, how are you?"
"Wow, you remember me. I was only fifteen the last we spoke…" The young woman pushed her curling hair from her face and smiled brightly at Earlson, "I saw Jane the other night… she was busy rushing around with arms full of computer stuff as usual, so I didn't distract her… you know how she gets when someone stops her war paths. But…"
"Yes I know that very well. Is something wrong for you to be trying to get in contact with her?" Asked Earlson kindly while the Prince and Baron observed their interaction curiously, it was interesting seeing him so… nice without saying a single raunchy thing.
"I would have liked to have said hello and tell her about the party with some others from school this weekend. Could you tell her I was around? My number hasn't changed so if she kept my contact she could always call."
"Of course." Keeping his polite smile, Earlson shook Samantha's hand and bowed his head, "And you know Jane, she never deletes contacts."
"That's why we all loved her so much. Thank you Mr. Helsing, you always were the coolest dad in town…" Waving, Samantha left while pulling out her mobile to call Jenny to tell that Jane 'might' be at the house party. When she was gone Earlson looked to the older vampires with a deadpanned look, his polite smile wiping away in an instant.
"Don't say it…" He growled out warningly as both the Baron and Prince looked humored and amazed.
"Helsing?" Isaac grinned widely for the first time since Earlson entered his life, "How ironic. Seems fate played a trick with you, Van Helsing huh?"
"Getting past that… did she say dad?" Muttered Lacroix, both vampire's blinked as they caught onto that, finally realizing its meaning. Isaac's eyes were quick to catch onto the link while Earlson gave them both pleading looks.
"Jane…" Whispered Isaac while Lacroix looked confused before he put two and two together.
"The rude girl?" Once more they gave Earlson a judgmental look, "I don't believe either of you are related."
"I… you… oh shut up! We look exactly alike!" Earlson stomped past the two and ignored their chuckles, "I've got business to deal with for Gary."
"That reminds me Mr. Helsing." Sending the Prince a glare, Earlson stopped and waited. Lacroix leaned back on a very flashy car, inside a Kindred driver waited, trying their best not to listen into the two handsome men's conversation. Their lips twitched at the last name.
Looking annoyed Earlson tilted his head, "Must you use that name?"
Giving a bigger smile the short Prince shook his head in disagreement before speaking again, "There is a Camarilla party in a few days. You should get some… finer clothing."
Sighing as he instantly went over what he could wear the Fledgling nodded his head waited as Lacroix got into the car before driving off with a sport car revving sound, alone with the Baron in the cold air Earlson turned and gave a small grin.
"I might return when I get the chance… is there any luck you and I can…?"
"No!" With a grimace Isaac stomped off with his Kindred guard, leaving Earlson to stand on the side of the street with a kicked puppy look, before he slunk over to his cab. Inside he crossed his arms and pouted, "What is with Prince's and Baron's refusing my offers?"
"Only few can resist your charm, Cainite. You are like water to their stone, slowly withering them away." The cabbie turned on his car and took off, his sage like words made Earlson grin making the cabbie glance at him under his sunglasses. When the cab was on the main road Earlson leaned closer to the cabbie.
"Are you one who resists or not?" Do not play with him, whispered the voice making Earlson curious.
A small smile lifted on the cabbie's lips, "I am one you don't want to play with, Cainite."
Leaning his elbow on the door and his head on his knuckles Earlson grinned widely, "Oh don't say that. You just make me want you more…" The way the cabbie looked at him meant that was his intention, "You are as wicked as I am my favorite little cabbie."
The second he was in Chinatown he hated it, Earlson met with the leader of the Kindred's Asian counterparts, a rather beautiful woman that had the voice screaming, Queen of Mirrors and Lies. Making him bite his tongue in flirting with her.
He had to rescue the rudest girl, who could give Jane a run for her money, for her father from a group of Tung thugs, gather information from his friend then protect the guy as they were ambushed, and then finally get a clue on what happened to the Nosferatu spy. The Mandarin… something about how he spoke made Earlson's hackles rise.
Sneaking from the club after assassinating the thug boss that owned it and discovering that getting shot through the chest tickled, Earlson went to the huge medical company near where the cabbie waited. Glancing over at the yellow car as if wanting to get some assurance from the wise vampire, Earlson climbed the stairs then entered.
Only one door was open. Earlson went inside reluctantly and frowned when the Mandarin appeared on the TV as he had in the club, "Step through the door."
"Very well then." Earlson walked into the round room and folded his hands behind his back, the door closed behind him and he was soon rising on a platform. Keeping his face blank the thin-blood vampire waited.
"Subject is male, appears to be in his early thirties, when he was turned is unknown…" Spoke the Mandarin, Earlson frowned before realizing what he was doing. He was speaking into a recorder that his assistant held… verbal research.
"I am forty-three. And was turned about two weeks ago." Cut in Earlson smoothly with a deep voice causing the jittery scientist beside the Mandarin to squeak, while the bleach blonde man smirked, "What else do you want to know?"
"Subject is compliant to questioning, possibly some essence of what he used to be. Subject, what was your name before your affliction?" Asked the Mandarin in calm interest.
"It is STILL Earlson, and it is not like becoming a vampire wiped away my entire being. The only change is the new diet… and deadness." With a chuckle Earlson, "I still have my memories… and my favorite hobby is sex. My favorite sport is sex, and my favorite gender is everyone."
The frightened scientist blushed brightly at Earlson's openness and glanced up at his boss, the Mandarin hummed in curiosity and didn't comment on Earlson's bold remarks, "Subject did not give his last name."
"Do you like puzzle's?" Through the gun proof glass Earlson caught a hint of a smile on the Mandarin's lips as he enjoyed the idea of a challenge, "Guess my last name; it is VERY ironic to my situation."
"Subject wants me to guess his last name… clue is his last name is ironic to his affliction… is it Vlad? Or Vladimir?" He tried first before frowning when Earlson shook his head, "No. I will come back to this inquiry… first we will be running a few tests."
Mist surrounded Earlson as he tensed up at the mention of tests, he went to breathe it in to find out what the mist was but the room seemed to have lost all its oxygen so he simply stopped breathing and waited. This went for a while before the mist stopped.
"No discomfort to lack of air or cold. Subject is clinically dead. Moving to the next test." Earlson squinted as lights turned on, "Does that hurt at all? … No signs of pain towards UV radiation. Not the desired effect. Go through the next door."
Beside Earlson the door slid opened, looking inside his expression became dark. Lasers shot from the walls but that wasn't what angered him. After these tests were done and he escaped he was going to kill the Mandarin, then find someone to propel his rising anger into. That assistant looked good…
Getting through without a burn as he studied the pattern of when the lasers turned off Earlson glared at the Mandarin before walking into the hall between doors, "Subject shows skill. Possible subject is not new to these types of tests. Will investigate the matter later."
Inside the next room Earlson ducked as spinning blades almost decapitated him, there were three running back and forth in the room. Quickly looking around he saw the power sources in the back behind meshing. Pulling out his gun he shot at them experimentally, the blades stopped spinning as they overloaded from damage.
"Subject is resourceful and quick at examining his environment as the reports said. Now on to the next test… sometimes rumor is based of observations and facts. Begin Operation: Van Helsing."
With a smirk Earlson stepped from the small hall and looked at the man in the full on radioactive suit holding out a cross in a assured way, the vampire sent the Mandarin a large grin making the man pause and think about why he was… a small smile rose on his lips as he remembered the question from the start.
"Question: Is the Subject's last name Helsing."
"One point to you." Earlson chuckled before taking the cross from the man's hand making them scream and run around in a panicked circle. Fingering the handle of his pistol while tucking the cross away as a keepsake, Earlson wondered what to do before deciding there was no reason to kill the guy, reaching out he grabbed the back of the man's suit making them scream in terror and threw him up onto the platform above him effortlessly.
"Subject is immune to the cross… it has thrown the scientist out of its reach instead of killing them. Curious. Well if God fails put your faith in the gun, commander if you please."
Doors opened up where Earlson threw the scientist, said man in the radioactive suit rushed past the soldiers with a scream. Quickly Earlson pulled out his gun and with the speed he was trained to have, shot down all the soldiers before they could get behind cover, or just as they bent down. His expression cold as he sunk into his old training, slaughtering enemy troops…
"Interesting, subject has defeated the team in record time. He shows the ability to fight at the level of a trained assassin. Onto the next."
When the door opened Earlson stepped into the pitch-black room and grimaced as his feet filled with water. Then heard the zapping of broken wires coming to life, which made him try to back track but the door shut. Above him large shocks of electricity was shot down, the pain filling him.
Falling to his knees while lifting his gun Earlson shot blindly at the things above him, he was given relief when they overloaded and hissed out of energy. His pants got soaked as he stayed down, recovering from the twitching and shudders that filled him. God, that brought back many unwanted memories…
"Hm, next test." Now Earlson REALLY wanted to kill or fuck something, either the Mandarin of his little assistant… while the Mandarin watched. With that pleasant thought he got to his feet and went to the open door on the other side of the room.
Inside the next hall, Earlson tensed up. He was at the end and he knew it. Fire beats glass, checkmate! The whispering voice gave him an idea of what was coming… and how to get out.
When the door opened, Earlson took aim at the furthest flamethrower he could see, and closest to the window before pulling his smooth trigger. The explosion shattered the window and sent everyone outside to the ground or against the wall.
At the speed of light and the dexterity of a seasoned soldier, Earlson leapt out of the shattered window and killed the two guards before he even touched the ground; the frightened scientist cowered in the corner while the Mandarin fled to gather a weapon.
"Please don't kill me!" Cried the scientist as Earlson spun and walked towards him, the poor man tired to make himself look small by curling up in the corner.
"Don't worry I won't kill you…" Whispered Earlson as he pulled the man to his feet and pressed him against the wall, the scientist screamed as fangs broke into his neck. His thudding heart and fear made his blood warmer and strangely sweet.
Keeping watch on his pulse, Earlson grinded his hips making the scientist moan. Behind the vampire the Mandarin returned with gun at the ready, he paused at the sight and observed. It was not often that he saw a vampire drinking from a human.
It seemed more… intimate then he imagined it would be. Might have been because Earlson's 'hobby' was sex? It was something he wanted to study and drew him closer despite warning bells, could vampires even have sex?
BANG BANG! The Mandarin's eyes widened as the bullet wounds made his arms flop uselessly as they went smoothly though his nerves, another in his knee sent him to the ground, the holes smoked for a moment as he looked up at the vampire. Earlson grinned before returning his gun to the holster inside his jacket, in his arms the scientist shuddered.
He knew he should be afraid of the vampire and even more so after seeing his boss wounded, but the young scientist couldn't help but moan when cool hands undid his pants and let them fall. The Mandarin watched with a dry mouth as Earlson angled just right so he could see them drop, and show one of the assistants bare hipbones.
While running his fingers across the protruding bulge that was forming between the mans legs Earlson moaned and whispered into the man's ear drawing out little trembles, "Something about your lab coat makes me want to make you feel senseless. My teenage angst maybe?"
"Y-You're a vampire! You can't…" The scientist broke off when he felt something grind against his manhood, as equally hard as his but not as hot, he looked down with wide eyes as he noticed Earlson's rigid and larger shaft was unconfined from his pants and was rubbing against his with each move of the vampire's hips, "Oh…"
"Who said vampire's couldn't have sex?" With a smirk Earlson made the scientist wrap his legs around his hips then pressed his fingers into the man's arse, reaching for that sensitive spot deep inside that made them moan and become weak to his touch.
Learning something new the Mandarin filed it into his memory, male vampires could get hard. Now… could they come too? Or reproduce? Oh he was beginning to get curious about that.
"Ah!" Holding on tightly to Earlson, the man blinked in a daze and arched, his gasping mouth was caught by the vampire and kissed so hard it almost bruised his lips. The tang of his own blood on the tongue that twisted into his mouth made him moan.
A loud but muffled cry of pain made the Mandarin's manhood twitch, his eyes went wider under his wonky glasses as he realized the vampire just thrust into his assistant's body and was setting a fast pace. The young scientist whimpered, then began to moan.
As the pain faded the scientist wrapped his arms around Earlson and clung to the back of his jacket in a tight grip and tilted his head to deepen their kiss, his fear forgotten at the toe curling feeling of being filled. His body rubbed against the metal wall and his manhood against Earlson's stomach with each thrust causing him to shiver.
Earlson moaned and his brow knitted together as he quickened his stride and began to stroke the scientist's shaft making them get teary eyed and hold onto him harder. They gasped into his mouth as they came thanks to Earlson firmly gripping his balls; it was so easy to make him fall apart.
Loving the feeling of the man tightening around him, Earlson pressed onwards, tilting his hips so he could bring his own release to a finish. The scientist gasped when he was filled with bursts of thick liquid before Earlson pulled out and slowly lowered him to the ground.
"Its… warm…" Reaching down he slathered his finger with Earlson's cum and looked at it with wide-eyed amazement making the vampire chuckle. With gentle hands Earlson slathered his own fingers and pressed them into the scientist's mouth.
Moaning as the scientist swirled his tongue around his two fingers and sucked, Earlson gripped his semi-hard shaft at the sight and pumped it quickly to another release, when he felt near he stood and pressed his tip against the man's lips. Moaning the scientist opened his mouth without hesitation and closed his eyes as Earlson came.
Looking up, the man's eyes were sparkly. His mouth was agape with cum dripping from the corners and more dripping down his face. It took him a while to finally swallow, by then Earlson turned to face the Mandarin with a smirk.
He could see the man's discomfort instantly, and how his eyes veered down to his half hard shaft as it dripped with cum. Slowly Earlson came behind him and knelt. Both scientists' eyes widened as the vampire pulled down the Mandarin's pants while bringing his manhood back to life.
Before a single word could form on the Mandarin's lips Earlson thrust inside, he pulled the man upright so his hardening shaft was visible for the young scientist, his eyes glassed over as his boss's manhood bounced up and down with each strong thrust.
Closing one eye while being unable to look away from his young assistants face, the Mandarin groaned as Earlson began to stroke his base and run the caressing hand up to his bulb before going back towards his balls again. His breathing became harsh and the forearm holding him arm around his neck was not making things any easier.
"Finding many answers, Mandarin?" Whispered Earlson into the mans ear and ran his fang across the sensitive rim making the man shiver, "Are you able to remember them when I do this…"
Thought struggled to stay put as Earlson wiggled his hips while inside making his tip rub against something inside, groaning the Mandarin spread his legs a little more and let his eye close completely as Earlson went back to thrusting hard, his arms wobbled uselessly at his sides.
Groaning loudly as they both came, the Mandarin felt woozy from blood loss and sex, his vision blurred as he opened his eyes to look over his shoulder as he felt slight pain. When had Earlson pulled out his manhood he bit hard into the Mandarin's shoulder and drained him of almost everything making him shiver and grow cold.
So he was going to die then? The Mandarin knew Earlson wasn't going to let him live, not with his knowledge of vampires and how he used the vampires… To think he would die after having sex with one, and after discovering their cum was actually fairly warm.
"I had a wonderful idea, there is no rules one having one Ghoul…" Earlson whispered his chilly breath into the Mandarin's ear and his eyes glinted between the two humans, "I could have three. The lab coat will have to be burned though…"
Both scientists shivered as Earlson tore into his wrist with his nails and places his slowly bleeding wrist against the Mandarin's lips, at the first taste the man eagerly devoured it, feeling his body fill with vitality and his wounds began to heal. When Earlson deemed him done, he stood up and left the man wobbling on the ground.
Slowly the vampire knelt before the young scientist and held his wrist to their mouth, "I have a Ghoul and I think the both of you would hit it right off. If I let you have a gun I hope you would protect her."
Humming in agreement as he drank, the scientist felt himself grow with a need to keep the vampire happy, so this was why Ghoul's were ever so loyal to the vampire masters. The blood made them so… wistful and loving. Or was that just Earlson?
Once more Earlson stood and the two men followed, he straightened all their clothes as the men looked at him with adoration, "How is the best way to find the other vampire you have, then delete your research?"
Any other time the Mandarin would have bristled at the thought of erasing his lifetime of work, but he led the way with an eagerness to please his master, "I can make the guards clear out of our path and unlock the doors."
Earlson nodded at the mans back as they went into what looked like a storage warehouse, he could see in the far corner the Nosferatu surrounded by a Discipline, making him stronger. His eyes flickered through the bulletproof glass in rage at the sight of the Mandarin.
The man didn't pay mind to the vampire and went instead pulled out his walkie-talkie, "This is the Mandarin, Subject has been detained. I want the main hall to the front entrance clear in case of infectious, air born diseases."
"Yes sir." Said the guards over the black walkie-talkie before the Mandarin turned it off and threw it at the wall with a shatter, he went over to Earlson and his assistant who waited at the door. He opened it, letting the Nosferatu out, and took up position at the main door.
"Gary's agent. I came to find you, we need to get out of here and delete the research. The Mandarin here is kind to show us the way." Earlson grinned at the other vampire making them snigger maliciously.
"You turned him and his assistant into Ghoul's? And I thought they were trained to resist the vampire blood, you must have done something they didn't expect." The Nosferatu caught the slight flush on the assistance's face and his grin widened, "Oh you naughty vampire."
"Gary seemed to like it." Earlson chuckled as the Agent sent him a surprised look, they didn't know about Gary and Earlson's tussles. His eyes flicked up and down the thin-bloods body as he followed the Mandarin down the hall and into a large, code locked door.
"Everything of my work is on that computer." Earlson sat at the Mandarin's words and hacked into the computer, despite having the password mere feet behind him. The Mandarin unlocked the final door for the Nosferatu so they could go contact Gary and inform him what happened as the thin-blood deleted files while the young scientist hovered beside Earlson.
"What is your name by the way? And do you have family?" Asked Earlson without looking up as he erased the entire system inside the center to be safe, everything from emails to memos on the door codes. He was leaving every computer as if they were never used before, brand new.
"James Patterson." Eagerly answered the man as he squirmed on his feet like a shy teenager, "My parents live in New York with my little sister."
"You can call them as long as you don't let them know about us, vampires and my connection to you." Earlson stood when everything was gone on the computer, and all the centers systems, he looked down at the man. "And visit them when they want you to."
"Thank you master." James slurred his words before shaking himself, Earlson showed no worry. He will gain back his former personality after the haze of sex and his blood faded.
"What about the Mandarin? Will you finally give your name?" The man in question came over with a nod, his eyes looking up at Earlson with bliss, when he stood in front of him Earlson pulled away his broken sunglasses.
"Adam Rinn." Instantly Earlson caught onto the anagram that was his name and title and grinned, then he led the way into the main foyer. Behind him the Mandarin, Adam, continued, "No immediate family. All killed by vampires."
Earlson paused to look at Adam sadly, "I am sorry… it is possible a Sabbat killed them. Or an angry Caitiff…"
"Sabbat and Caitiff? There are groups?" Adam's eyes looked a little surprised at that, the Hunter's he worked for told him all vampires were beats that hunted humans.
"Sabbat a cruel, they devour the blood of vampires and flaunt their power. Slaughtering humans for fun… I had to fight through a few human's they turned for fodder on my first night as a vampire." Earlson frowned as they paused at the front door to speak without the ears of the outside, "Caitiff are new vampires who know nothing of what they are, not their clan or anything."
"Clan? You have clans as well?"
A thought flashed over Earlson making him rub his chin, "If you take your mind and knowledge to the vampires to help them strengthen against the Sabbat and Hunters you could learn more."
"Yes…" That idea appealed to Adam, also he believed it would make his new master proud, "I can do that. Where do I go?"
"I will have you sent to my Haven in Downtown, you can settle there with James and Heather, my other Ghoul. Go to Lacroix tower at night and tell the guard, Chuck, that Earlson sent you to help Lacroix with Camarilla. I want James to stay with Heather… ask her for a change of clothes, she is a fashion student."
"Yes master." Both men chimed and waited to hear more of Earlson's voice, for more commands that would please him.
"I want you both to leave first. There is a cab to the left, get in the back and tell the cabbie you are Earlson's then tell him to wait for me further ahead." Once more saying their agreement, the two men did as told and followed his commands to the letter.
Earlson counted to one hundred before leaving, the second he did the phone rang nearby making him curiously come over and answer, "Hello?"
"Well done Boss." Hissed Gary on the other end after making it sound like he was an ad causing Earlson to almost hang up, "I heard you did more then save my Agent, but also turned the Mandarin into a Ghoul. You are as crafty as a Nosferatu, Boss. Did I… rub off on you?"
Humming as Gary lowered his voice an octave at the last line Earlson answered, "You rubbed ON me not off. And I was taught a cruel lesson, to turn the enemy into the ally can destroy the body of the hydra."
"I am curious on to how you learnt that lesson, but you are as secretive as you are striking." Gary chuckled; he dearly enjoyed speaking with Earlson. It gave him fun amongst the seriousness of his Agent's, and none of them flirted with him. It gave Gary a bit of his human past back.
"Why thank you." Earlson was grinning so wide his cheeks were hurting, he was enjoying this too, "Now before we both get distracted and need a cold shower. The information?"
Gary laughed deeply in his hissing, husky voice; "I gave the information to the Giovanni family. I believe they have the Sarcophagus in their basement… also my people have made it my attention that we have an empty room that they would like you to fill. Feel free to return."
"Thank you…" Earlson paused when he noticed someone moving closer to him, one of those Asian vampires who was listening into the conversation with her sensitive ears. Giving a smirk he spoke in a sultry tone, "So what colour underwear do you have on tonight sweet thing?"
On the other end of the line Gary chuckled, but caught onto what he was doing. Changing his tone perfectly to a male prostitute purr to hide his hiss he replied, "Whatever you desire. What about you Mr. Sugar-Daddy?"
"Me?" Earlson pulled back the hem of his pants just for show while smirking at the name, "I was wearing a rather sweet little scientist just a second ago followed by his boss. But now I am wearing nothing… hopefully going to wear you when we meet. Is tonight good?"
"Oh naughty, maybe after you are done wearing me, I could wear you?" Gary chuckled, enjoying this immensely, "You know where I live Daddy. Come inside anytime." He purred out the last line, which made Earlson twitch and give a deep moan.
"Oh… I will see you very soon. Do wear that vest I dearly love." Hummed Earlson while peering over to see if the Asian was still watching, she looked at him with wide eyes when she realized what the pair was saying and their genders before fleeing, "I would like to do this again."
"I have your number." Whispered Gary in a tone that made Earlson grow hard against his jeans, "I will call you at the Giovanni's and we can talk dirty while you fight zombies."
"I look eagerly… wait… did you say zombies?"
"Big bad, -Daddy is afraid of a teeny weeny zombie?" Gary laughed.
With a grimace as Gary hanged up before he could retort Earlson went to seek out the cab, keeping to the shadows while he was at it. Whenever he felt eyes on his person he veered down an alley and did a couple of turns, popping back onto the road a few more alleys downwards.
It didn't take long to find, it was parked against the wall of a long tunnel with lights off. Earlson jogged over while grinning as James and Adam peered through the back window, looking glad that he was fine and back with them.
Getting into the front seat, Earlson sighed and slouched, his two new Ghoul's eyed him up and down before all, including the cabbie, glanced down to the obvious strain in his pants. Only the other vampire turned his eyes away and started to drive to the Giovanni manor.
Earlson turned his attention out of the window as they left the tunnel and watched Chinatown vanish behind them. He never wanted to come back.
The cabbie gave him a reassuring look before pulling up in a warehouse that was owned by the Camarilla just in time as the sun rose. The cab didn't have strong tinted windows like Lacroix's car, which was odd when the driver was a Kindred. Then again no cab had tinted windows, so it would just single out the cabbie.
Feeling exhausted Earlson levered back his seat into a slight lying position and sighed while James and Adam spooned against each other in the back, the cabbie did the same as Earlson.
As the two Ghouls' fell asleep first from their exhausting night, Earlson looked at the cabbie and smirked, ignoring the voice that gave him warnings in his mind, "So what colour underwear are you wearing?"
Smiling and giving a chuckle the cabbie looked back at him, "That is a mystery, Cainite."
