A Blood Warning
"I want to talk to my son alone first." Vince said as Undertaker and Shane started to leave the office.
"Fine." Undertaker said and walked out. He cast a look at Shane before doing so.
"How'd it happen Shane?" Vince said asking the question that was at the top of his list.
"Dad you don't want to know." Shane said his voice still soft. He walked over and took the tape out of the player.
"Yes I do. I want to know how they got you."
Shane looked at his father pleadingly but Vince didn't waiver. "This song Enter Sandman was played for a reason. Remember the night after the Ministry tried to take Steph? Remember how you had Stephanie and I stay at your house? That's where they got me dad. They took me out of my old bedroom." Tears were streaming down his face. The events of the last few weeks finally getting to him. "They told me if I screamed or made any noise they'd kill me right there and then go get Stephanie. I couldn't let anything happen to her dad."
"I know you wouldn't Shane." Vince started to wonder why he ever thought Shane would do something like that. "I won't let anything happen to you either. The Brood won't lay one finger on you." Shane's fingers were touching his throat. "Oh God. They already have haven't they?" Shane nodded slowly lowering the part of his shirt that covered his neck. Vince saw the bite marks. There was no mistake what they were from. "I won't let them turn you into a vampire." He said hugging his son.
"Touching but we must go." Undertaker said from the doorway. "You'll see your son soon. And the Brood won't touch Shane."
Shane followed him out the door reluctantly. Vince vowed to get his son away from them.

Vince entered the estate feeling better then he did when he left. But he now knew that his home wasn't as safe as he hoped it would be even with the beefed up security. But he was hoping that by agreeing to work with the Ministry he could keep his family safe. He found his wife working on some reports in their office and Stephanie was swimming in the indoor pool. He wished he could tell them Shane wasn't willingly working for the Ministry but knew he couldn't.
He walked upstairs and to Shane's old room. He was met by the second shock of the day. Someone, obviously from the Ministry, had written in red liquid "He's ours Vince" on Shane's mirror.
"Vince?" A voice called from somewhere behind him. He turned around in time to see Linda come into the room. "What's that?" She asked pointing at the mirror. "Is that blood?"
"I found it and I don't know. Vince moved closer to inspect it. It looked like blood to him. Fresh blood too. How were they sneaking in his house? He was pretty sure he knew who left the message. It had to be the Brood. But it still didn't explain how they kept getting into the house.
He had to keep his son from getting hurt. He knew that for sure.
