Chapter One

San Francisco – 2 weeks ago

Nick, Phillip and Kristin have arrived back to San Francisco after the long flight from Israel. Alex met them at the airport.

"Hey Alex," said Nick and gave her a hug.

"Hey Nick. I missed you," she said hugging him back.

Kristin and Phillip waited patiently for the two to say their hellos and break the embrace.

"Hey Phillip. Kristin, it's nice to see you again. I guess you're here to stay this time?" asked Alex.

"Yes. I'm here to stay," answered Kristin, a big smile on her face. She really liked Alex.

"Ok, we better get going back to the house," said Alex. "Derek is waiting for us."

"What is so urgent that he called us back from Israel?" asked Phillip.

"Actually, I'm not really sure," answered Alex. "He didn't really say much to me. But he did seem very anxious the past day, and was really impatient for you guys to arrive. I think there is some problem in one of the houses. I don't know which one though."

Nick picked up his and Kristin's begs while Phillip picked his own, and they followed Alex out to the car. Alex drove quickly and about an hour after they landed they were back at the house on Angel Island.

"Welcome back," said Derek greeting them at the door. "I hope you had rested on the flight because we are gonna be very busy for a while." He then noticed Kristin and said, "Welcome aboard Kristin. Nice to have you here."

"Thank you Derek," she replied. "So what's the emergency?"

"San Diego house. Taylor Lambert and Commode are missing," said Derek.

"Missing? Since when, How?" asked Nick. He knew them both. Taylor was the precept of the San Diego home and Commode was the vampire who's life she saved. They had a strange connection. And it was quite obvious they loved each other a lot. Commode although a vampire was not evil, and was a part of the San Diego house.

"Well, they went into the vault room to get some stuff for a meeting two days ago and were not seen again since then. Sloan is already there investigating, but he want's us there for help as well," said Derek.

"Have the police been notified? How could they have disappeared form the vault? Isn't it protected from evil? Asked Kristin.

"Yes," came Derek's answer. "It seems they went into the vault, but never came out. The team looked for them everywhere. There was no sign of them. The strangest thing is that besides the door there is no other way in or out the vault."

"When do we leave?" asked Nick.

"As soon as you get organized. I figured you'd probably want to freshen up before we go. Would an hour be enough for you guys to get ready?

"No problem chief," said Nick heading upstairs to his room.

"Yes I guess so," came Kristin's response.

"Sure," said Phillip

"Good, we shell meet back here in one hour," said Derek and went back to his office to get organized as well. An hour later they all met back at the entrance and a few minutes later they were inside the chopper flying off to San Diego.

When they arrived at San Diego, they were greeted by Tyree and Tanya. Tyree was the head of security and Tanya was the researcher of the house.

"Welcome," said Tyree. "I'm happy you're here. Sloan has been driving us mad for the past day."

"Sloan is just doing his job," Said Derek.

"We know," said Tanya, "But he makes us feel like it was our fault for what ever happened. And the fact that we can't find an explanation is not helping."

"Let's go inside," said Derek looking at the two of them. They looked exhausted.

As soon as they were inside Sloan greeted Derek and the others. "I'm glad you finally decided to show up. I expected you sooner."

"Sloan, enough. I know you're upset, so am I. That is no reason to lash out at my people or Taylor's people. We got here as soon as we could." He then turned to the head of the security and the researcher and said, "You two look beat. Have you had any sleep?"

"No," answered Tanya. "We haven't slept in nearly 48 hours."

"You two hit the bed. If we'll need you we'll wake you," said Derek.

The two of them seemed grateful and retired to their rooms before Sloan will make any remark.

"Ok now," said Derek facing Sloan. "What have you found till now?"

"Nothing."

"What do mean? I want to see this vault my self," requested Derek.

"Sure," said Sloan. "Follow me."

They all went behind him to the vault and went inside. Alex and Derek both felt very strange.

"Derek, can you feel that?" she asked.

"Yes. It is freezing in here. Colder then normal."

"I don't feel anything," said Nick.

"Me neither," said Kristin. "The temperature here is normal."

Derek and Alex started looking around when they stumbled into some invisible wall. They reached out their hands to touch it. It was like touching ice. Freezing cold.

The others looked at them and couldn't believe it. Nick moved closer and tried to touch this invisible wall. To his amazement, he felt nothing. His hand went right through as if nothing was there. Kristin and Phillip tried as well. Nothing. Neither of them could feel that wall as well.

"What the hell is that?" asked Sloan.

"I don't know," said Derek, "But that is what we are here to find out. I want this place locked. No one is alowed in here except for Alex and me. I don't want anybody else lost," said Derek.

"I'll go into the control room and see what I can find on the computers," said Alex.

"Ok, I'll join you soon," answered Derek.

Alex left the vault room. Nick Kristin and Phillip were left there with Derek and Sloan. Derek looked at his team and said to them, "I want you guys to take turns in watching that door. I want you to make sure no one comes in or out but me and Alex."

"Sure," said Nick. "I'll take first watch, you guys should try and catch some sleep as well. We had a very long day." He sat outside the vault door and began his watch. Phillip and Kristin went upstairs to the guestrooms and took Nick's advice to rest after the long day they had.

Israel Abi-Ben – Present time (on the way to their honeymoon)

Abi and Ben took their time is getting to where ever they were going. Actually, Abi had no idea where Ben is taking her. He made all the arrangements. They were taking their time, stopping on the way every now and again, to admire the scenery and each other, and so they can stretch their legs.

Ben arranged everything. Abi didn't even know where they were going. She was just looking out the window while he was driving. It was almost two hours since they left the house. Ben looked at Abi for a moment only to see that she seemed very tired. Her head was tilting down and a side against the window. He pulled over and Abi woke up.

"Are we there yet?" she asked.

"No. Not yet sweetie."

"Then why have you stopped?"

He smiled at her and then said, "You look very tired. Why don't you take the back of the seat down and lye down for a while?"

Abi looked at him for a minute. She did feel very tired. Lately, she had so much on her mind, she didn't sleep well. Following his suggestion, she lowered the seat and lay there. Ben took a blanket he had on the back seat and covered her.

"You ok?" he asked.

"I'm fine," she said smiling at him.

After gazing at her for a few more seconds he started the car and drove of again. A few minutes later when he looked at Abi again, he sshe was sleeping peacefully.
