Johnny: enjoy the fic.
"Two more bodies were discovered early this morning by passer byers, once again they were found down an alleyway in the town of Grimsby. Police are investigating the case, determined to get to the bottom of this case. The death count now has been added up to 13, all having died from severe blood loss from puncture wounds from the ne-"
"Catching up on the news?" a sudden voice broke into the room, diverting the white haired girl's attention from the TV.
She merely nodded and turned her back on the smaller dark haired girl, who had just walked out of the bathroom.
She flopped down on the sofa next to her companion. "Amusing, isn't it?"
"What is?" Ghost's eyes never left the television.
"The stupidity of the human race" Hannah chuckled, "The answer is right under their noses, but they are too blind to see it, they have no imagination."
"Which is a good thing in our case, people are too close minded to even consider the idea of vampires" Ghost allowed herself a small smile.
"Yeah" Hannah laughed, "Who in their right mind would believe in vampires"
The two girls looked at each other for a moment before bursting into laughter. Ghost recovered first.
"We really should try and cover our tracks better, we don't want a repeat of London do we?"
Hannah pouted slightly, London had been fun, but she could see where she was right. "So how do you suppose we cover our tracks, oh Little Miss I'm So Brainy?" She looked up at the other girl questioningly.
"We stick to the docks, pick up people from there, and then throw the bodies off the pier, clean and quick." Was Ghost's plan of action.
"Fair enough, but not much fun"
"Food isn't entertaining, it's called surviving"
"Bah, you're just being close-minded! You can always have fun with your food!"
"Whatever"
"The bodies discovered this morning were of two young boys, each in their late teens-"
"Wait a second!" Kai leant closer to the screen; he looked at Tala, "did he say teenagers?" A confused look flitted across his face.
The same look was present on Tala's features. Johnny looked between them blankly, "what's with you guys?"
"The guys we found dead last night weren't teenagers" Tala said slowly, "that's means that those two bodies are still lying in that alleyway…"
"…And more people were killed last night than we thought…shit!" Kai cursed, "can we get nothing right at the moment!"
Johnny seemed to realise the depth of the situation, "at least no one was turned last night" he said, trying to lift the other boys' spirits.
Tala suddenly got to his feet and grabbed his coat off the back of his chair, he slipped a stunner into the holster strapped around his thigh, concealed by the knee length coat.
"Where are you going?" Kai asked, getting to his feet.
"To where we left those bodies, we didn't check did we?"
He swept out of the room and disappeared into the sewers before Kai had chance to say anything.
Kai just sighed and picked up his coat too, stuffing a few stakes in the back of his jeans pocket.
"You going too, Kai?" Johnny said stupidly, stating the obvious.
"Someone has to keep the red head out of trouble"
Johnny snickered slightly, "yeah I guess you're right" but Kai had already gone, and the metal grate back in place.
Tala walked swiftly along the sewer tunnel, thoughts bouncing of the inside of his head like ping pong balls, he walked quickly through the winding tunnels and pulled himself up through a metal grate hidden in the back alleys of the city. It took him less than five minutes to reach the alleyway when Kai and himself had fought the night before. He quickly pulled himself back around the corner when he saw the alleyway was already occupied, and the bodies were still there.
Hannah prodded one of the bodies with her foot. "Nye…I thought these two were on the news this morning, why are they still here?"
Ghost merely shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe it was different bodies they found?" She watched as Hannah dropped to the ground and lifted one of the corpse's hands up gingerly by the wrist, as though it would bite her at any second.
"Maybe," Hannah mused, "That means that there are more vampires around here…I bet it was Shiya and Kaori" she said thoughtfully, laying the dead hand upon its owners stomach.
Ghost twisted sharply to the side, and something zipped past her, causing the slightest nick in her shirt edge, and embedded itself in the wall behind her. She hissed at the object as then turned her head to the direction it had come from. No one fired a stake at her and got away with it. Hannah didn't even move, she just continued moving the corpses as though nothing had happened, humming a tune to herself.
The source of the assault was a tall red haired boy stood at the entrance to the alley, holding his weapon out in front of him. Cold blue eyes boring into her from behind red bangs, the boys mouth was set into a grim line, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.
Ghost gritted her teeth, "Han? What say you we kill this guy? …Han?" She glanced over to her side. No Hannah.
A smirk played across the boy's features, "abandoned?" The smirk slid off his face as another voice spoke from behind him, he half twisted to look behind him.
"What the hell is this thing anyway?" Hannah was stood behind the boy, holding a weapon identical to the one in the boy's own grasp. She gave it a shake and gave it a puzzled look.
Tala's free hand shot down to where his second holster was on his hip under the coat, empty. "How the hell did you get that!"
Hannah just winked at him and tapped the side of her nose, "I'm sly as a pie" and pulled the trigger.
Time seemed to slow down as the boy toppled backwards, the wooden stake pushing through the skin and embedding itself in the flesh of his side.
Ghost watched him hit the ground hard, red spreading up the side of his white coat, she leaned over him watching him press his hands against the wound and gritting his teeth against the pain.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" she grinned, and let a small laugh spill from her lips as he glared up at her. She glanced up at the sound of a weapon clattering to the floor, Hannah lying on the floor face down.
"Quit messing around Han, let's go home!" Ghost straightened up and walked around the bleeding boy, she prodded Hannah with her foot. "Stop the games"
Hannah didn't move, and alarm bells rung in Ghost's head. Although there was no time to worry about them, as a sharp pain spread from the base of her head, the world went black and she fell to the floor next to her friend.
A figure walked down the alley way and crouched next to Tala. "Couldn't you stay out of trouble just this once?"
Tala coughed and a winced as the movement sent painful waves up his side, "Just get this thing out of me would you Kai?" he said irritably.
"'Kay, hold still" the slate haired boy wrapped his hand around the piece of wood sticking out from his partner's side, Tala lifted and hand and placed it against Kai's shoulder, bracing himself.
Kai gave the stake a sharp twist and a yank, pulling it free from the flesh, Tala winced and let out a grunting sound and then relaxed a little, the pain ebbing away. Kai threw the bloodied stake to the side and pulled the other boy to his feet.
"Let's get you back home, get someone to patch you up" Kai said, picking up the dropped weapons and pushing them back into the holsters.
"What about them? We can't just stake 'em" Tala nodded towards the two girls sprawled on the floor. "The little one was sat in sunlight, they aren't your average vampire"
"You think a new breed?" Kai glanced at the fallen girls, Tala just nodded. "Ok then, they come back with us, you take the midget, ill get the other one"
"Got it"
Between them, they took the two vampires through the sewers, back to their home.
Back at Base
Johnny started when the metal grate opened loudly and Tala emerged into the room. "Hey guys, how went the mission…what the hell! Who are they!" he stood up quickly as Tala pulled a small dark haired girl up through the grate.
"Take this" he dumped the unconscious girl into the Scottish Boy's arms and pulled another body up through the entrance, a white and green haired girl.
Johnny opened and closed his mouth dumbly. Kai pulled himself up through the grate and pulled the metal cover back, "Close your mouth Johnny" he said simply and took the comatose girl from Tala, and walked over to the 'holding cell', otherwise known as a room with a metal door and bars over the glass panel. Virtually inescapable.
Laying the girl down on the pallet in the corner of the room, he motioned the gaping Scottish boy to do likewise. After both Hannah and Ghost were inside, the door was locked.
Johnny looked between Tala and Kai questioningly, neither seemed particularly bothered that they had just locked two girls into their holding cell.
"Did we just-" Johnny began.
"Yep"
"Why-"
"Vampires"
"Oh…what the hell happened to you!" Johnny stared agape as Tala pulled his shirt over his head, revealing the oozing wound in his side.
"The dwarf shot me" he said shortly.
"With his own gun" Kai added mockingly, Tala just glared at him in response and pushed himself up onto the table top.
"…I'll go wake up Rei" Johnny said and left the room to fetch the said boy.
Johnny came back into the room, followed by the Chinese teen known as Rei. Rei let out a sigh when he saw the hole in Tala's side.
"Another stitch up job I see Tala?"
Zombie: i FINALLY did it huh!
Johnny: you were just being lazy...
Zombie: Nuh-uh! I had mock GCSEs!

Zombie: REVEIW PLEASE! FLAMES ARE IGNORED!
