Chapter 6
The Road to Kentucky was quiet and long, we had to stop before dawn and find a Motel where we boarded up the room before the sun came up, thankfully everyone found something to do or someone to munch on and no one started a fight
I had brought four other Strigoi with me for this small trip. it was a monday when we arrived at Sonya Karp's home a blue house with many flowers. she was waiting for us outside poised ready for a threat which in truth we were though it was doubtful that he would be able to take on any of us without sever injury to herself.
We walked up onto her porch and faced her. the night was not quiet here but it was the noise of the neighbourhood a quiet family friendly place.
"Sonya," I said as I approached her.
/"Rosemarie Hathaway, you have changed." She replied
"Yes, yes I have." I smiled at her. "You have some information for me I believe Sonya,"
/"Information, rose I think not!" She replied shifting her weight
"don't try to run Sonya, do you really think that you will get far before I stop you." I laughed a cold and high pitch laugh that I did not recognise as my own. "Now Sonya, tell me all about the child that you help hide before you were awakened."
She turned to me and smiled,
"And here I thought that you wanted me for another reason" she said "they now live in Detroit, not far from the ballet theatre. Small house, I shall write her address down but rose do what you will with the child just leave the mother alone." She asked
"I make no promises Sonya but you have my word that it will be over quickly." And with that we left.
It was not a short drive but uneventful, as fast as the car could travel, leaving the cops to follow a trail of crumbs we arrived in the early hours of morning and found a human house which we vacated of its residents and took up hold within their basement.
The sun returned to its resting place and we quickly found the house I set my men around the house, it seemed too easy, i just happen to find what i was looking for, that i just happen upon sonya and the child, easy or not i was glad.
I saw movement within the walls and signalled my minions to move. they stormed the house, again it was too easy, there were no guardians and the people of the house were soon rounded up and taken to the living room.
I walked in slowly hoping to give that scary impression most Striogi have. it worked the child saw me and screamed and i could not blame her for i almost screamed as well, Jill Mastrano, the small girl i knew at court, the child who wanted to be a fighter. instead of screaming i laughed, my new found cold high laugh.
"Jill, now i know why you always looked so familiar, the Dragomir eyes staring back at me whenever i looked."
"What are yyyou talkking about?" Jill stuttered out
"Tell her Mrs Mastrano, dont keep the truth from your daughter too much longer, it may cost her her life?" I cackle out.
"Jill darling," Emily started blood trickling out of her mouth from when she was slapped around. "you know your adopted, your father was Eric Dragomir, your friend Lissa's father."
Whilst the mother was speaking I was bored and looked the man holding Emily's partner and gave him a nod, there was a sickening crack and a thump, another body dropped to the floor, both the mastrano's screamed. I gave another nod to the man holding emily and the same thing happened. Jill was silent, my guess is that she was in shock silent tears running down her face.
"everyone out, take the meals with you if you want and someone grab the girl, I want to be clear of this house within ten, and on the road home." I said to everyone taking one last glance around before sweeping out and into the car. todays work was down tomorrow was a new day which meant time to start phase 2.
