Chapter 4: Dunno what to call it so... Whose Lee Ving?
"A vampire?" Holly asked raising her eyebrows.
"Aye, a vampire," Foaly nodded. Holly looked at the running figure on the screen.
"The mudmen killed them out ages ago." She muttered.
"Yeah but you can't kill someone who hasn't been born yet can you?" Holly glanced at the centaur, the smug look on his face made her sick.
"Well are you going to explain or am I gunna have to beat it out of you?" she asked. "I got a really flash baseball bat for Chrissie, and I'd love to try it out." She smirked. The centaur poked his tongue at her.
"I find it hard to believe you're on the LEP," Root sighed as he walked in.
"We're dealing with a vampire," Foaly informed him.
"Yeah and I'm Santa Clause." Holly muttered.
"We are dealing with a vampire," Root said giving Holly a glare. Holly snorted.
"We can't be dealing with a vampire, they were wiped out,"
"No they weren't" sighed Root sitting in his chair and rubbing his temple.
"Meet Elizabeth Scott," Announced Foaly. Holly glanced at a picture of a woman pop up on the screen. "She's been pregnant for 199 years," Holly blinked at Foaly,
"Uh huh,"
"Seriously, her husband, a vampire, was killed 199 years ago, the last one... but she had a child, no one knew so she kept it a secret, being a mud man she wouldn't live for long, she was able to carry her half vampire half mud man kid for 199 years and still live, until she found a new love and decided to have her child. Unfortunately she forgot she was a mud man."
"So?" Holly asked.
"So? So mud men don't live for over 199 years."
"We'll where is she now?"
"Six feet under."
"Oh,"
"So she's dead, so is her husband, and we're dealing with there kid?" Root asked
"Yep, a Mudpire,"
"A Mudpire?"
"Yep, half mud man half vampire."
"That's lame Foaly,"
"You've cut me deep, you've cut me real deep Holly." Holly rolled her eyes at the centaur.
"So we're dealing with the last vampire left?"
"Nope," Foaly shook his head, "Wrong again Holly, they used to bury vampires, but a few have been found, we've got them secure and happy."
"How come I didn't know?" she asked glancing at Root.
"Only a few were aloud Holly," he murmured lighting one of his trademark cigars. "So we're not dealing with the last vampire, we're dealing with the youngest."
"But why would a vampire want to take files on the LEP security and building structure?" Foaly asked.
"Run a scan for him, maybe he's working for someone,"
"Oh," Foaly gave a surprised squeak as status popped on the screen. "It's a she,"
"I KNEW IT!" Holly blurted out, "I knew it wasn't a mud man! I could tell by the figure, it wasn't structured right,"
"Good for you sweetie,"
"Shuttup Foaly,"
"Seventeen and living with... Lee Ving, poor fellow, what a name," Foaly laughed.
"Lee Ving," Root turned the name over in his head, "We've dealt with him before haven't we?"
"Yeah but we erased his memory. Didn't we...?"

Tase circled the letter 'A' and sighed with satisfaction at finishing her test. And five minutes to spare. Flipping her test over she started to draw a rabbit on the back, starring at it for a while she drew a bomb with its wick about to burn out, and scribbled: Watch this chemical reaction!
"Pens down, time is up," a crusty voice barked, Tase glanced about the nervous faces around her. All girls, (being a girls school it wasn't surprising) had all stopped at the same time as the rusty voice, non of them rebellious enough to continue with those last few questions.
"I am disappointed Kathy," Tase shivered as she felt the eyes of her teacher burn into her friend sitting behind her. "I really thought you could do better," she sighed and picked up Tases. "And I worry about your inappropriate drawings Tasef-lee," Tase bit her lip and turned in her chair to look at her teacher, overweight, sagging eyes, bittered over the years.
"First of all Mrs K, when you try to intimidate someone with there full name, use there 'full name'. It's Tasef-leerander-octok-malubrander Lee, and secondly try to pronounce it right, and thirdly: is it really reasonable behaviour that encourages students by embarrassing them in class lowering their self-esteem that could be reported?" Tase cocked her head at her teacher. "Of course I'm just a minor..."
"IN THE CORNER TASE!" Tase put her hands up in surrender and walked to a corner in the front of the room. Although she knew she would get a yelling at after wards, she was satisfied with the fact her teacher didn't make any more comments.
"Chris Appleby," Artemis muttered. Glancing at the profile that had popped up on screen, it hadn't been hard to track him, he'd left so much evidence Artemis wondered why he didn't just leave a note.
"He took a carrot," Butler reported walking into the computer room and leaning over Artemis' shoulder.
"A carrot?"
"Must have been hungry." Butler shrugged. "So who was he?"
"Chris Appleby, probably a hopeless criminal,"
"But he didn't steal anything..."
"Except a carrot," Artemis reminded him, "But I can't figure out what files he took, he lives with Lee Ving... didn't that guy die 3 years ago? But this site hasn't been updated for 4 years..." Artemis jumped as a beep came from the speaker indicating he had received an E-mail.
Curious he opened it.
sorry I had 2 break in like tht but I couldn't find ur key. I believe u hve my car keys?
Artemis let out a small laugh; Butler jingled the keys he had stolen on their first encounter with Chris, in his pocket.
Met at Kindle st café tomorrow or I'll mke u cme.
"I do believe he's threatening us," Artemis told Butler. "But you know I just can't pass down that café..."
