Chapter 5:
Coreen looked around the door. Vicki had been sat still for an entire hour and her coffee was no doubt cold.
'Hey. I found out some information for you.'
'Ok.'
Sitting opposite Vicki she passed her the list of notes she'd made. 'Well basically you know they love sex and as they are female they love sex with any man. They generally use their sexual powers to make a man fall in love with them and then they use the time they have with the man to begin to drain the man's soul and energy.'
Nodding Vicki pushed her glasses up her nose, 'Right so why would one of these have a thing for Henry?'
'Well the only thing would be sex. Maybe she just liked him. Wanted him that kind of thing.'
'Right well how are these things killed then?' pushing the notes to the side she stood up. 'I mean they are female demons so I'd assume the usual blessed water or a silver dagger maybe?'
Coreen nodded as she twirled a pen on the desk, 'Well Vicki you don't know whether Henry will want that to happen. I mean if he knows her then maybe he will want to talk to her get the deal from her properly?'
Coreen's face flushed.
Vicki tensed. She'd felt his presence as soon as he pushed into the room through the window, 'Well we'll find out now.'
A shadow disconnected itself from the wall. The scent of Henry's aftershave overwhelmed her. His eyes found her and his smile was wide and white.
'Vicki,' he inclined his head in slight bow of acknowledgement, 'Coreen.'
Taking a seat he leant across the table, 'Ahh Carla finally found me. I should have known as soon as I woke from that trance she was behind it all.'
'Carla?'
'The succubus you are discussing at this moment in time. We were together for a while and well obviously I satisfied her and I she.'
Kicking back on his seat he crossed his ankles, 'Until of course I found someone else and well I moved away.'
Vicki leant across the table, 'And now she's pissed and angry at me. Oh and wanting you to drain me. That's really nice.'
He rolled his eyes but his voice became softer, 'Vicki I am sorry you have gotten involved in this. I will talk to her and before you say anything I do know how to get rid of her if that is needed.'
He nodded and stood, 'I should get something to eat first.' His teeth flashed whiter as he wrapped his scarf around his neck, 'Don't even think about it.'
She was shocked he was behind the desk on minute then suddenly he was standing near to Vicki his hand around her wrist, 'Henry I don't think it's wise you going alone. AND how did you know I wanted to tag along?' he could feel her heartbeat increase. As soon as she'd felt him near her the beat had intensified.
Blue eyes bore into her own, 'Vicki it wouldn't be wise if you went even with me. If she was intent on harming me through you then I'll have to stop her.'
Yanking her wrist away as the feel of his skin against hers made her flustered, 'Sorry Henry my case and I don't like to be left out of it.'
Pulling on her leather jacket she pushed past him, 'Coreen thank you for today you did good and for that you can have the morning off tomorrow ok?'
'Wow thanks Vicki.' She smiled widely at them both, 'Hope it goes well with your succubus problem.'
Nodding they left the office together Henry's hand at the base of her spine guiding her towards his car.
