They stepped out of the terminal into a covered loading and unloading zone. There were three large black SUV's parked and running. The rain was no longer pounding the ground. it had slowed to a steady heavy drumming. The runoff rushed along like rivers about to escape their banks.
Kuroko without saying a word followed Samantha as they separated from the others. De Rais, Fish and Chikatilo looked a little worried and confused as they were herded to the second vehicle. One of the vampires opened the rear door and pointed. With a little apprehension they each stepped inside, and she closed the door. Then turned around wearing a rather mischievous grin on her face and waved. The elder wolves nodded and got into the third SUV.
She smacked the side of the SUV, laughed, opened the door, and said loud enough for Kuroko to hear. What do you call three idiots in the back seat of an SUV driven by vampires. She laughed louder…to go SNACKS! She shut the door.
Samantha holding the passenger side front door, chuckled, don't worry…she's kidding. Kuroko didn't say a word getting inside. She closed the door, I think…
She leapt over the top of the SUV, opened the door, and slipped inside the driver's seat. Took a deep breath and looked over to kuroko. the inside glowed in dim green light from the instrument panel. Need anything before I take you to your humble abode? She smiled softy.
Don't try that cute attack on me. kuroko said.
Something to eat….a movie or me? her smile opened wider, her fangs shining oddly inviting.
Can we just go where we're supposed to go? She smiled a rather angry smile, please, the word forced and then quickly thinned her eyes.
Samantha's body quickly went cold. Her heartbeat faster. She inhaled a soft deep breath, bringing her left hand to her chest, exhaled even softer, and reached over and turned on the radio. Something soft and romantic then. A love song played.
Samantha turned the keys, starting the engine, put into gear and drove. the windshield wipers slipped across the glass, the rain dropped against the metal in a soothing beat. The lights of the airport reflected off the wet surfaces and Unforgettable by Nat King Cole played over the radio. And Samantha sang. The voice of an angel, a mimic. The glow across her face told everyone, if she hadn't been turned, she'd own the spotlight.
Kuroko rolled her eyes, looking out as the SUVS turned left and they went straight. She didn't say a word. Despite all the talk, Samantha was all busines during business hours. Up ahead in the distance, shining high rises dominated the scenery. They were heading to the heart of Sakura City.
