"Karen!" Blade called as he climbed out of his car. He had just returned from Moscow, where he had been hunting for Whistler, who miraculously survived the gunshot to his head, in a manner of speaking. He turned and was taken by vampires. Blade vowed to find him but it wasn't easy because the bloodsuckers that took him kept moving him around, making it hard for Blade to track him.

Karen came out of the large upstairs bedroom of the warehouse and down the stairs. "Did you find him?"

"No."

"Damn."

"How's the new serum coming?"

"I need a couple more days before I can test it on you so you're gonna have to stick with your old serum until then." She turned and went to the lab area that she and Whistler set up when she was looking for a way to cure her vampirism.

The sun had started to set so Blade was preparing to go patrol the streets for vampires. He reloaded his guns and grabbed some serum and EDTA. He walked over to Karen and kissed her on her forehead then got in his car and left.

Karen sat in shock for a few moments, surprised that he did that. He never showed emotion, especially around her. She smiled to herself before going back to work.

"Iliana," Deacon said softly, shaking her gently.

"Huh?" She moaned tiredly without opening her eyes.

"Me and Quinn are gonna go check on one of the clubs. We'll be back in a few hours. If you need anything, just tell one of my familiars and they'll get it for you."

"Uh huh."

He kissed her on her forehead then left the room.

*************

At the club, Deacon and Quinn sat quietly in a corner, keeping a low profile. Some of the vampires recognized who they were but didn't say a word. Everything was going fine until a human, trying to escape being bitten, bumped into Blade in the middle of the dance floor. The vampires on the floor parted and looked at him in awe. Some of them whispered to each other until one stepped up and attacked Blade. Then a fight broke out. Blade started shooting and stabbing vampires left and right.

Deacon stood up calmly and Quinn followed his lead. They walked towards the door casually like nothing was happening. Before walking out the door, Deacon turned and Blade looked up and saw him standing by the door.

What the fuck? Blade thought to himself. Frost is alive? Deacon turned and walked out the door and Blade continued to fight. After he successfully killed over two dozen vampires and the rest had cleared the building, he drove back to the warehouse, where Karen was still working hard at finding a stronger serum for him.

"You're back already?" She said.

"Yeah."

"What's up?"

"We have a big problem."

"How big?"

"Frost."

"What?"

"He's back."

"I thought you killed him two weeks ago."

"Apparently what I did wasn't good enough."

"What are you gonna do?"

"Kill him...again."
