The Adventures of Vampires in Paris
Part 1
The plane landed at a remote runway of the 'Charles de Gaulle' airport in the afternoon. Luckily, the day was rainy and the sky was clouded so the vampires didn't have to worry about sunlight. As Peter had promised, the car was waiting for them near the runway. The driver saw Kate coming out of the plane and approached her. "You are this 'one' passenger, right?" he asked.
She nodded. "Yes."
"I know about the vampires that arrived with you. They'll have to hide in the trunk. The cops let me drive to the runway and they know that I'm meeting only one passenger. If they see your friends, they'll want to check their passports. And I doubt that they have them", explained the man and Kate had to admit that he made sense. She returned to the plane and explained the situation to the vampires.
"No way", was Spike's response.
"Are you sure this is necessary?" was Angel's.
"Do you have any better ideas?" Kate raised her eyebrow. The vampires didn't have any better ideas and reluctantly agreed to get in the trunk.
Kate came up to the driver. "I'll go through the customs. Wait for me near the exit."
She went through the customs easily, though the officer wondered about her baggage, or, to be exact, the absence of it.
Kate, pretending that she was about to burst in tears, said: "My uncle Lord McBryde died and I came as soon as I heard about his death. I even had no time to pack my bag." A tear rolled down her cheek.
"This is so sad", said the customs officer. As a true Frenchman, who valued woman's beauty, he believed the pretty girl who was devastated by her uncle's death. "You may pass, mademoiselle."
"Thank you", Kate took her passport and went to the information desk to ask about Flight 75. It turned out that the plane had landed 5 minutes ago and she went to gate 23 to meet the Blood Trackers.
She stood in the crowd of people expecting the newly arrived and saw the Blood Trackers. They went through the customs and exited the airport building to get a taxi.
Kate hurried to the car and asked the driver to follow the taxi. She had a feeling that whoever wanted her blood wouldn't wait and that the Blood Trackers would contact him soon.
* * *
Meanwhile in the trunk Spike and Angel were fighting for the territory.
"Spike, move", hissed Angel, trying to settle himself in the trunk.
"Oh, shut up", Spike hissed back and moved Angel's boot from his face. "This is my sister's revenge for siring her."
Finally they settled.
"So, Spike, you look different." Angel started 'small talk', trying to kill time.
"I have my soul back", said Spike casually as if he were talking about some thing that he had lent to someone and got it back.
"Oh. How's it going? With the soul, I mean?" asked Angel matter-of-factly.
"Ok. Actually, I almost died on Monday. The soul was driving me nuts but Kate showed up just in time and saved the day. For me", answered Spike.
"Does Buffy know about your soul?"
"Yep. She was there when I was drinking Kate's blood. Giles found in some book that the blood of relative would cure me."
"And how did she take it? Your soul, I mean."
"We didn't talk much about that", answered Spike.
* * *
The car followed the taxi, but lost it at one of the intersections. Kate cursed. "Damn it!" Then she took her wallet and found a piece of paper. "This is the address." She gave it to the driver.
McBryde's house was situated in a quiet suburb. The car pulled over near the iron gate. Kate thanked the driver and got out of the car. She came up to the trunk and knocked. "Knock, knock. Anybody home?" The answer was the muttered swearing of two old vampires. She opened the trunk and let them out.
"Kate, is this your bloody sense of humor?" grumbled Spike.
"Go into the house", said Kate and went to the driver. She asked him not to talk about the vampires in his trunk. The driver smiled. "I'm a vampire myself." The car drove off.
The vampires stood under the pouring rain. Kate came up to them. "Why are you still standing here? Go into the house", she said.
"In case you've forgotten, kitten, we are vampires, which means a) we can't enter a house without an invitation and b) we don't have the key", said Spike, trying to light a cigarette, but in vain.
"Oops, I forgot. Follow me. "Kate came up to the front door and rang the doorbell. A middle-aged woman opened it. "Katrin! You're back! Come in."
Kate entered the house and turned to the vamps that waited for the invitation. "Come in", she invited them. They entered.
"Claire, these are my friends, William and …" she looked at Angel, hesitating how to name him.
"Liam, my name is Liam", helped her Angel.
"Guys, this is Claire, the good fairy of this home", said Kate. The 'good fairy of this home' looked at Kate's friends with curiosity.
"Oh, you're all soaking wet! I'll get you dry clothes", said Claire, seeing puddles of water on the floor that dripped from their wet clothes.
"Please, prepare the guest rooms on the third floor and my room too", asked her Kate and Claire, remembering her duties hurried upstairs.
Some time later Claire returned and said that the rooms were ready. "Don't worry, Claire, I'll show them the rooms. Follow me, guys." With these words, Kate went upstairs.
* * *
Half an hour later, having taken a hot shower and put on dry clothes, Kate came up to Spike's room. "Spike, it's me. Open the door."
Spike, clad in a blue bathrobe, opened the door. Kate saw him and bent with laughter. "You're so cute and fluffy!!!"
"Oh, you…" Spike hissed, grabbed her arm, and dragged her in the room. "Your housekeeper took my clothes while I was in the shower. And look what she brought me! Come in", said Spike, hearing a knock on the door. The door opened and this time two vampires bent with laughter, seeing Angel in the doorway. Angel was wearing a pink bathrobe plus matching fluffy slippers with bunny ears. "You are so cute and fluffy TOO!!!" managed to utter Kate, still laughing.
"Your housekeeper has a rather peculiar sense of humor", noted Angel, sitting down in the armchair.
"Let me guess. She took all your clothes while you were in the shower?" Kate calmed down a little, but still she tried not to giggle, seeing once extremely dangerous vampires looking like…
"Nice slippers", giggled Spike. Angel took a pillow from his armchair and threw it at Spike.
"Spike, shut up. If you tell anyone, I'll stake you", threatened Angel.
The budding pillow fight was interrupted by Claire who came in, carrying a bundle of clothes. "I hope they'll fit. Your clothes will be dry soon." She placed the clothes on the bed and left.
"These are Vic's", noted Kate.
"There's no way I'll wear dead man's clothes", said Spike.
"I can't say you're very much alive", retorted Kate. "Besides, until your clothes get dry, your only option is your blue bathrobe." Kate giggled again. "Ok, boys, get dressed. I'll be in my room." She went to her room.
Spike looked at the clothes. "Hmm, not bad."
Angel took his and left.
Spike put on the navy blue jeans and a black t-shirt. He found his boots under the bed and put them on too. He took his cigarettes and left the room. In the hall, he met Angel, who was wearing black jeans and a gray shirt. They both knocked on the door.
"Come in." They heard Kate's voice and entered. She was sitting on her bed, legs crossed, and eyes closed.
"Are you trying to find those guys?" asked her quietly Spike, coming up to the window. Angel sat on the couch.
"Yep. Now shut up." She concentrated her thoughts on the person whose blood was so tasty, that even her ring couldn't stop her from wanting to taste it once more. This time the contact was established immediately. She saw everything through Jake's eyes. 5 seconds later she broke the contact.
"So, what did you see?" asked Spike, looking out of the window. It still rained.
"They are in some hotel room. At least Jake is. He's alone…" Kate stopped for a second and then continued. "And he's in the shower."
Angel and Spike laughed.
"Very funny", grumbled Kate. "I didn't know he would be in the shower."
"Let's use the spell to locate them", suggested Angel.
"I'll get the map." Kate got off the bed and left the room.
Spike took a cigarette and lit it.
"How did you meet?" wondered Angel.
"You mean Kate and me?" asked Spike. "She showed up in Sunnydale on Monday. She brought a package to Giles. It turned out that her guardian or hell knows who he was had sent her away from Europe as it was dangerous for her to stay there."
Kate returned, carrying the map of Paris and the vampires' already dry clothes. She put the clothes on the bed and came up to the table. She spread the map, took a small knife from her pocket, and found the location of the house on the map. "Guys, you know the drill", she said, piercing her thumb and squeezing the drop of blood right on the map. Angel and Spike did the same; and Spike couldn't help himself but squeeze the blood with the words 'My hand is shaking, I'm afraid I'll drop the blood somewhere on the Eiffel Tower'. Kate giggled, but that didn't spoil the spell. The drop moved and its trail led to the small hotel in the center of Paris. "Hotel Dauphine" read Kate. She folded the map. "I think everyone will agree with me that we should go to this hotel."
The vampires nodded and took their clothes from Kate's bed. "You know where to find us", they said and went to their rooms.
Kate thought for a while and then came up to the wardrobe where she found a pair of black jeans, a black sweatshirt, a black leather jacket, and black military boots. She changed her clothes. "I look SOOO hot in black", purred Kate, looking at her reflection in the mirror. Then she put the map and the knife in her pocket and left the room, but didn't go to Spike's room. Instead, she went down the hall and opened the door to the room that used to be Victor's. She entered and saw a huge bookcase near the wall. There was a secret room behind the bookcase, but Kate saw only a couple of times how Victor opened the door. She decided to move the books at random and succeeded almost immediately. The bookcase slid away and Kate entered the room. One of the walls was a display of various weapons – guns, shotguns, machineguns and a sniper rifle in the middle of this display. Kate grinned, remembering Vic's words. 'Angel, this is all for a rainy day if there are no options." Kate had a gut feeling, that this was that rainy day that Vic had meant. She left the secret room and closed the door. She went to Spike. "Spike, come out. I have a surprise for you."
Spike opened the door. "What now? All I do is go from room to room."
"Spike, honey, do you like weapons? I know all men like weapons, cars, chicks, and booze", said Kate, grabbing Spike's hand and dragging him out of the room.
"Kitten, where are we going?" asked Spike, following Kate.
On her way to McBryde's room Kate knocked on Angel's door. "Angelus, come out!"
"I'm Angel and where the hell are you dragging him?" opened the door Angel, seeing Spike and Kate.
"Angel, do you want me you drag you too? I'm sorry, but my strength isn't enough to drag two big guys, so follow me", said Kate, looking at the dark haired vampire. Angel shrugged and followed her. They went down the hall. Near Victor's room, Kate let go of Spike's arm and opened the door. She came up to the bookcase, moved the book, and the bookcase slid away.
"Bloody hell! What is it? Looks like your Vic prepared for a small war. Where's the nuclear bomb?" exclaimed Spike, from behind Kate's back. He came up to her so silently that she jumped up. "Don't sneak up on me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack", hissed Kate, looking at Spike.
"Vampires don't get heart attacks, their hearts don't beat", noted Spike, entering the room and looking at the weapons display.
"Newsflash, Einstein! My heart DOES beat, like any other human's", said Kate, taking the sniper rifle from the wall and looking around. She found a big black bag and put the rifle in the bag. "Choose your weapons, gentlemen."
Angel took a 9mm gun and Spike chose a Desert Eagle. "Kate, why are you taking a sniper rifle and why the hell do we need weapons?" wondered Spike, taking the ammo for his gun.
"I have a bad feeling that we might need them and the sniper rifle… just in case." Kate found the ammo for the rifle and put it in the bag.
"I remember Buffy with that rocket launcher when she destroyed the Judge", smiled Angel, looking for the ammo for his 9mm gun.
"Why would she need a rocket launcher to destroy a judge? A single gunshot in the head would kill him. Did Buffy have problems with the law?" asked Kate, taking the bulletproof vest and putting it in the bag. But then she changed her mind and put it on under the sweatshirt.
"For starters, the Judge was a demon and no forged weapon could destroy him, and …" Spike stopped, watching Kate's manipulations with the vest. "Why do you need a bulletproof vest?"
"Spike, human body is vulnerable. Of course, I have enhanced healing but if things go wrong, I don't want to get a bullet in the chest or stomach."
Kate put the guns in the bag, zipped it, and looked around, checking if she hadn't forgotten anything. Then she handed the bag to Spike. They left the room and Kate closed it. Vampires went to the door, but Kate said. "Wait, I forgot one thing."
She came up to the desk, opened the drawer, and thought which car to choose. Then she took the keys, closed the drawer, and put the keys in the pocket. "Now I'm ready."
They went downstairs where they met Claire. "Claire, you may be free tonight. In fact, I'm giving you a week off. You could visit you daughter and grandchildren in Lyon. "
Claire smiled. "Thank you, Katrin. I'll start packing."
"Claire", Kate lowered her voice. "I want the house to be empty tonight. Tell the others to leave till tomorrow." She looked in Claire's eyes.
"When will you be back?" asked the housekeeper.
"Maybe in an hour, maybe in 5, I don't know", said Kate in a normal voice. "I mean it. I don't want anyone in the house tonight. Oh, tell Jacque to open the garage door." She turned to Angel and Spike, who watched the conversation with interested faces and said. "Let's get the car."
They went to the garage and Kate opened the door of the black Toyota RAV4. She liked the car - its powerful engine, comfortable interior and, what was more important, - the car had tinted windows. The vampires got into the car and she drove it out of the garage. It was a good day for vampires – rainy weather, no direct sunlight, besides it was getting dark.
'Hotel Dauphine'
An hour later
"Yes, ok. We'll be there", said Chris and disconnected the call. He looked at his brothers who gathered in his room and waited for the call from their 'employer'. "He'll be waiting for us at the cemetery 'Three Oaks', Northern entrance, near the grave of Louise Garrott, year of death – 1759."
"When?" asked Nick, who was watching TV and was flipping through the channels.
"Midnight", answered Chris. "Jake, are you alright?"
"I feel dizzy", said pale Jake. Again he had this weird feeling of somebody's presence in his head, just like at the airport and in the shower for a brief moment. But the feeling faded away. "Guys, there's on thing I haven't told you about. The day-walker had the protective ring. She said her grandfather had given it to her."
"This is impossible. Protective ring, the Bouddong Ring, is a myth. Besides, she can't be on the side of the Light. Her blood was dark, definitely dark", said Chris persuasively.
Jake shrugged. "I know what I saw. The ring was just like in the book."
"Jake, the Bouddong Rings don't exist, not anymore", said Nick, switching off the TV and turning to his brothers. "Good vampires don't exist either. They are demons, it's their nature."
"I know what I saw", repeated Jake silently and came up to the window. He noticed the black Toyota RAV4, driving off.
* * *
"They'll meet the buyer at the cemetery, Northern entrance, grave of Louise Garrott. At midnight", said Kate, breaking the telepathic contact.
"What cemetery?" wondered Angel.
"It's called 'Three Oaks'", answered Kate, starting the engine.
"Are we going to the cemetery? Right now? We have three hours left", said Spike, looking at the car clock.
"I have to buy one thing and then we'll go to the cemetery."
* * *
'Three Oaks' cemetery. Northern entrance
Near midnight
The vampires found the grave the Blood Trackers talked about. Spike looked around. "There's nowhere to hide. The whole place is open."
"I wouldn't say that." Kate pointed at the crypt about 50 meters away from the abovementioned grave. "We'll hide on top of that crypt", she suggested. "I doubt they ever thought about the possibility of a stakeout."
They got to the top of the crypt and prepared to wait. Kate took out the sniper rifle, loaded it, and was ready to shoot if necessary.
"Have you done this before?" asked Angel, seeing Kate's confident movements.
"Yeah, but I don't want to talk about that. Spike, you'll be the cameraman." She took the digital camera from the bag and handed it to her brother. "Start filming when they meet the buyer. They're here", whispered Kate, seeing the movement at the graveyard. It was dark, the sky was still clouded, although the rain had stopped hours ago, but her vampire vision helped her in the darkness. "They're early." She looked at her wristwatch. "Unless…"
"Unless it's not them", said Spike.
"No, it's them." Kate recognized the brothers, besides she felt weird when Jake was around. "They are looking for the grave." She saw the flashlight in Chris' hand. Finally they found the necessary grave and few minutes later three dark figures, clad in black appeared near the grave.
Kate frowned and looked in the telescope sight of the rifle. "I don't like how those guys appeared."
"Something tells me that our weapons will be useful very soon", said Angel, taking the 9mm gun from the bag.
"Spike, start filming", said Kate, looking at the group near the grave through the telescope sight.
"It's too dark", whispered the vampire and at the very same moment the sky cleared and the moonlight lit the graveyard.
"At your request", noted Angel.
The vampires saw the brothers talking to one of the men. Again, Kate thanked her vampire abilities for being able to hear the conversation between them.
"Do you have it?" asked one of the men.
"Why are you here, Gentry? Where's the boss?" asked Chris.
"Boss was very busy, he sent me", answered Gentry, holding one hand in the pocket.
Although it seemed suspicious, Jake decided to give the man what he had come for. He took the test tube with blood from his pocket and held it in his hand, not showing it to the man.
"Where's our money?" asked Chris calmly.
"You won't be needing your money anymore. Oh, yeah - you're fired." With these words, Gentry took out the gun from his pocket and aimed it at Jake. The other two men in black also took out their guns and pointed them at Nick and Chris. "Now, give me the blood."
"Ha, ha. Very funny!" smirked Nick. "Who died and made you the boss, Gentry?"
The man shrugged. "Wrong answer." The gunshots sounded like explosions in the quietness of the cemetery. Chris and Nick fell. "GIVE ME WHAT I CAME FOR", said Gentry, still aiming at Jake.
Jake was in shock. He stared at his brothers, who lay unmoving on the ground. Then he turned to the man and growled "YOU SON OF A …" Two gunshots sounded as one. Jake grabbed his shoulder and fell on one knee. He managed to hide the tube in the inside pocket of his jacket.
Gentry stared at his hand. It was empty. His gun was on the ground some meters away from him. "There's someone here!" he shouted to his men. "Find the shooter!"
*
Kate quickly reloaded the rifle. When Gentry took out the gun and pointed it at Jake, she understood what was going to happen, and aimed at the man's gun. She made the shot seconds earlier than Gentry did and the bullet hit the gun. That saved Jake's life.
Gentry grabbed Jake and put him on his feet. "Where's the blood??!"
Jake laughed. "Screw you!"
The man got furious and slapped Jake. "Look, your brothers are dead. Do you want to join them?"
"Go to hell", hissed Jake. Gentry took out another gun. (Lying on top of the crypt Kate wondered, "how many guns does the man have anyway?') He put it right to Jake's head. "I'll find it either way. Give it to me and you'll die quickly and without much pain."
Another shot from the rifle hit the man's gun. Again.
"The shooter's on the top of that crypt", said one of the killers.
"So, kill him. What are you waiting for?" snapped Gentry, rubbing his wrist. Then he knocked Jake out.
The killers started shooting at that spot where they thought the sniper was.
"We're here like sitting ducks", said Angel.
"More like three black flies on the wedding cake, if someone bothered to look at us from above", noted Spike, still filming what was going on at the graveyard.
"So, shoot back. Just keep their attention and try not to kill them. Your souls won't allow you to do that either way", said Kate. She put aside the rifle, crawled backwards and jumped to the ground.
"My soul? My chip won't let me do that!" hissed Spike. "Anyway, I'm just the cameraman."
"Kate, what are you doing?" Angel noticed that Kate got off the crypt, but she didn't hear him. "Spike, take the god damn gun and help me."
Spike switched off the camera and put it aside. He took the Desert Eagle from the bag and the fun began.
*
The shooters were too much absorbed in the incredibly exciting game 'kill the sniper on the crypt' to notice a dark figure that ran to the unmoving bodies of the Blood Trackers.
Gentry knelt beside unconscious Jake and started searching his pockets. Unfortunately for him, he didn't expect the attack and didn't see the fist that hit his face. Gentry fell on his back and passed out.
Kate came up to Chris and felt his pulse. Nothing. Then she knelt near Nick and took his hand. The pulse was faint. She slapped his cheeks and Nick opened his eyes. He saw the person whose blood had caused this mess. "You…" he whispered, "Why is your blood so important that we have to die for it?"
"You die for it because you're stupid", said Kate silently. "I don't bite. I'm a good vampire."
Jake came to his senses and saw the girl, sitting near Nick. He rose to his feet, though his shoulder hurt like hell, and came up to his younger brother. He knelt beside him. "Nick, hang on. I'll get you to the hospital", he whispered to him and then to Kate who looked at the brothers with mixed emotions of anger and compassion." It's your fault. None of this would have happened if you hadn't showed up."
"O, really? a) I told you, you were making a BIG mistake and b) if I hadn't showed up, you would've been dead by now. c) I didn't start the shooting and, having saved you life, now I'm beginning to have second thoughts", hissed Kate. She let go of Nick's hand and the next moment her ring glistened in the silvery moonlight.
Nick's eyes widened. "Show me the ring", he managed to utter.
Kate sighed and said. "This ring prevents my blood thirst."
"It's the Bouddong Ring. It can h…" he didn't finish the word. Nick was dead.
"No!" screamed Jake, shaking his brother. "You can't die. You can't!"
Kate rose to her feet and looked around. There was something strange in the air. Then she realized. Silence. The shooting had ceased. She saw the killers, creeping up to the crypt and two dark figures, jumping off the crypt. Kate thought that Angel and Spike could take care of those guys. Her major concern was to get her blood back. She stood with her back to Gentry and didn't see that he came to his senses and that he reached for his leg to get another gun.
But she saw Jake who jumped to his feet. He was furious as hell; of course, his brother's death didn't make him too happy.
"Give me the blood ", said Kate. The two stared at each other, paying absolutely no attention to what was happening around them.
"Hey, you, bitch! This blood is for me!" Kate heard the man's voice and turned to him. "Why do you need it?" she asked, but didn't get the answer, only 5 bullets in the chest. The force of the shot threw her on Jake and they both fell. When Kate fell on him, Jake felt that something cracked in his inside pocket. 'Great! Now no one's gonna get this blood' thought Jake, lying under unmoving Kate.
Gentry came up to them and pointed the gun at Jake.
"Man, how many guns do you have with you?" wondered Jake.
"I'm asking for the last time. Give me the damn blood and I'll let you live", said Gentry.
"Oh, now you'll let me live…" said Jake. "What happened to your 'give it to me and you'll die quickly and without much pain'?" Jake didn't care whether he would live or die. Not anymore. His brothers were dead… "About that blood… She cracked the tube when fell on me."
The man's face distorted with hatred. He took the bullets from his pocket, loaded the gun, and emptied it in Kate's chest. The next moment he was on the ground, not understanding what had hit him. His vision was blurry but he saw a blonde guy, who grabbed his head as if in pain, and a dark-haired man, who took Kate in his arms. Then the blonde guy came up to him and with the words 'nobody hurts my sister' knocked Gentry out.
Spike's head almost exploded when he hit Gentry, but Kate was more important. Angel put Kate on the ground. She was unconscious and he slightly slapped her cheeks to wake her up.
"Aww! That hurt!" Kate opened her eyes. "What happened?"
"The guy emptied his gun in you", said Spike, feeling the pain go away. He helped her get up. "Kitten, that was a smart thing to put this vest on."
"Yep", said Kate, wincing. "Did you kill him?" She pointed at the man.
"Nah, he's unconscious", answered Spike. "We have to get out of here. Did you get your blood?"
"No." Kate saw Jake, who sat near Chris. "I must have cracked the tube when fell on Jake. Why did you stop shooting?"
"We ran out of bullets, and then we just knocked out those guys", said Spike. "Look, I'll get everything from the crypt. Wait here." Spike ran to the crypt.
"Are you ok, Kate?" asked Angel, searching Gentry's pockets. He found the wallet and took the driver's license from it.
"Damn it! Angel, do you hear this?" She heard the police sirens. They were far, but approached. "Cops! Spike, hurry!" She shouted and came up to Jake. "Jake, cops. They'll be here soon."
Jake snapped out of his reverie. "It's your fault." He looked at Kate. "Their blood is on your hands."
"Yeah, whatever. Actually, no, MY blood is on YOU. Look, Jake, do you want to get arrested?" she wondered.
The sirens were near and Kate already could see the flashlights of the cops that tried to find the place where gunshots had been heard. "Suit yourself, Jake. But if you want to know my opinion, get out of here and take your brothers' belongings that might help the police identify them and connect your dead brothers with you. I'm sure the cops would want to talk to you", said Kate.
Jake understood that she had a point and took his brothers' wallets and their hotel rooms' keys. "Help me", he said silently and looked at her.
'He looks like hell', thought Kate, seeing his face. He was in pain, "Ok, follow me."
Spike returned with the bag. "Why are you taking him with us?"
"He's wounded." Angel sniffed the air and felt fresh blood.
"He knows who wants my blood", said Kate.

A/N I don't get it. Where are the reviews? Is this story THAT boring? Just let me know if you read it.
