"Morning, Fang." Dallas said to her pit bull puppy as she climbed out
of bed. She stretched then went into her bathroom and turned on the
shower. She climbed in and let the warm water spray her in her face. She
was still thinking about Deacon and she had no idea why. He was so
intriguing and she couldn't figure out what was so different about him.
When she was done with her shower, she slipped into a pair of black leather
pants and a corset-like top. She combed her hair, pulled on her boots and
trench coat, and looked over herself in her full length mirror. She fed
Fang and grabbed her helmet off the table in her small kitchen. "Bye,
Fang. I'll see you when I get home." She scratched his head then grabbed
her keys and left for her shop. When she got to the shop, Leon's brother,
Antonio, was standing outside. "Hey, Tonio, what's up?" She said as she
unlocked the door.
"Have you heard from Leon?" Antonio asked her.
"Not since last night outside Fire. Why? What happened?"
"He left the club with some people last night and I haven't heard from him. He didn't even come home last night." He said as they walked into the shop.
"Hmm, that's weird."
"I know. Usually he would have at least called. I mean, he would at least call you. Did I do something to piss him off again?"
"Tonio, chill. Your bro will show up. He probably just found some chick and got distracted and forgot to call."
"You think?"
"Trust me, little one."
"You know I hate when you call me that."
"That's why I do it."
"You're weird."
"Thanks for noticing." She flashed a smile and winked at him. "Now, you better go before you're late for work." She kissed him on his cheek and pushed him out the door. She flipped the sign on the door to open, took her coat off, and put it in the back room.

That night, after Dallas closed her shop, she was doing inventory when Deacon walked in the door. "We're closed. Come back in the morning." She said without diverting her attention for her work.
"I know." He said.
Even though she'd never heard his voice before, the feeling she got when she heard it told her who it was. "Can I help you?"
"As a matter of fact, you can." He backed her up against a walk and grabbed her arms. "You can give in and not fight."
"I don't think so." She kneed him in the groin and pushed him to the floor. She ran for the door but, using his vampire speed, he was up off the ground and had her by her hair in seconds.
"Why must people always fight?" He said after he slammed her against the wall again.
She head butted him, punched him in the face, kicked him in the chest, and again tried to run for the door. He grabbed her by her ankle and she fell to the floor. He pinned her down and pulled a syringe out of his pocket. She struggled to get away but he shoved the needle through the vein in her neck. She tried to struggle more but she quickly passed out. He got up and looked at her as Quinn entered the store. "Bring her." Deacon said to him and left the store.
"Have you heard from Leon?" Antonio asked her.
