Chapter V

Rich guys finish first

An hour later, Kevin walked up to Peppy.

"What else do we know about this cult?" He asked

"Not much," Peppy replied, "Only it's called 'Children of the dead'."

"Children of the dead?" Fox asked, "How many people are currently members?"

"According to these records," Slippy replied as he looked at his laptop, "10 people are members. Five of them are vampires, and five of them are mortals. All of them are weathly people."

"Anyone of them on Corneria?" Krystal asked

Slippy rubbed his chin and began to look on his laptop until he found something.

"There is one I found." He said to them, "Come and look."

Everyone gathered around Slippy and glanced at the monitor, which featured the bust image of a male grey wolf in his mid-30's.

"His name is Peter Greyson." Slippy said to them, "He's the wealthy owner of Corneria City Bank. Plus, he's a mortal."

"Good job, Slippy." Cella said as they began to leave.

She turned her attention to the rest of the group.

"Let's go, guys." Cella commanded.

Everyone turned to leave, but Kevin turned his attention to Slippy.

"I'll transfer the blueprints of everything to you later tonight." He said to him. "Plus, your payment."

"All right, Kevin." Slippy replied, "Have a good night."

All four of them left the apartment and walked down the stairs to the apartment building's front door. Cella turned her attention to Fox and Kevin.

"Krystal and I are heading back to the castle." She said to them, "I want you both to find this Peter Greyson and kill him, then bring his body up to the castle."

"Yes, mom." Kevin replied

Both Krystal and Cella dissipated into black mist and teleported back to the castle, leaving Fox and Kevin to tackle the assignment.

"Great. Just great." Fox said sarcastically, "Your mom and wife leaves us to tackle an assignment, which is to find a very rich guy and kill him. Problem is, we don't even know where to start!"

Kevin's nose picked up the scent of blood. He grinned, exposing his vampire fangs. Yes, he's got was one of both his and Kevin's dhampir abilities.

"I know where Peter is, my friend." Kevin said to Fox, revealing his true face. "Come on."

He dissipated into black mist and teleported into the night. Fox sighed and began to follow him via black mist as well.

In another part of Corneria City, both Fox and Kevin appeared in an abandoned alley and around down towards a small local bar. They both saw Peter drive his car up to the curb in front of the building.

"Hope I can get a date here for Felon's party next week." They heard Peter say to himself as he closed the cardoor with a brown briefcase in his , "That man is hard."

Kevin grinned. He had a plan. He told Fox to lie down on the ground and clutch his leg (which he did) as though he was in pain, then began to walk up to Peter.

"Excuse me, sir." He said to him, "Could you help me? My friend just got robbed in that alley."

He pointed to the alley.

"Sure." Peter said, "Gotta be quick. Meeting up with somebody in the bar."

He followed Kevin towards the alley.

"Hook, line, and sinker!" Kevin thought with a small smirk as they walked into the alley and up to Fox.

"Ok, what's the problem?" Peter said as he knelt over and began to examine Fox's 'injury'.

Kevin pulled out a knife from his pocket and slit his throat from behind. Blood poured from Peter's neck and he reached up to it while struggling to breathe. Kevin helped Fox get back up on his feet, and watched Peter's lifeless body collapse onto the ground.

"Good job." Kevin said to Fox as he grabbed the body and briefcase, "Lets get back to the castle."

Fox nodded and followed him back to the castle. The next step of the investigation was about to begin.
