Thanks for reviewing! Oh and ErisFury I honestly did not know that name had been used for someone already,I never watched Charlie's Angels..lol

We pulled up in Mick's car in the front of a small office building. Mick glanced at the business card Beth found in the wallet,"This is the place."he announced.

"What exactly are we looking for here?"I asked.

"Well we need to find out who the vampire is, and places he would go so we can find him." Beth answered.

I said,"OK, let's go then." The three of us walked into the building. The inside was nice, the floor was made of white marble. The lobby was decorated with various plants and paintings. To the left was a few benches, and to the right was a large desk, where a big man in a suit sat. Mick approached the desk to get information from the man.

"May I help you, sir?" The man asked.

"Do you have any employees working here that have been missing, maybe a couple of days?" Mick asked.

The man thought for a moment and replied,"Yes...Jack Garland hasn't come in to work for about 3 days..why?"

Mick held up his credentials,"I'm a private investigator, I'm working on a case that involves him...can you give me his address?"

The man gave Mick the address and we left quickly back to Mick's car.

"Do you really think he'd be at home?" I asked as I got into the car.

"Maybe...you never know," he said shrugging.

He started the car and drove away from the office building and perhaps toward the vampire we're after.

Soon we found ourselves in front a two-story house. It was yellow with a porch that took up the whole front of the house. I got out of the car and we walked up to the door to the house. Beth rang the doorbell. A minute later, I could hear the door unlocking from the inside. A short woman with brown hair and blue eyes wearing a green dress opened the door smiling.

"Hi. Can I help you with something?" she said politely.

"Does a Jack Garland live here?" Beth asked.

The woman's smile faded,"Yes, thats my husband...he's been missing for three days..." she answered sadly.

"Have you reported his absence to the police?" I asked curiously.

She shook her head,"We had an argument before he left for work...I figured he just wanted to get away for awhile. Did something happen to him? Is he OK?"

"I don't know...do you know any places he would go besides work or home?" Mick asked.

"I'm not sure..."she paused,"he has this friend Larry, he goes to his house all the time when we have a fight...does that help any?"

"Maybe.."Mick answered," Well I guess we'll go now, thanks."

She nodded and closed the door. We walked once again to Mick's car and drove away to see if the feral vampire is feasting on poor Larry.

-----

After Mrs.Garland closed the door she walked into the kitchen to finish cooking dinner. Her 4-year-old son was sitting at the table coloring a picture of something, she couldn't really make out what it was. She stood over the stove stirring the spaghetti sauce when she heard a crash coming from upstairs.

"Stay here,"she commanded her son and ran upstairs.

She walked down the hallway opening every door checking each room. She reached the bedroom door and opened it coming face to face with Jack Garland...except he was barely recognizable. He was still in his suit from work, his jacket was missing and his shirt was ripped up, he was covered in blood, worst of all his eyes were almost white colored and his teeth...were those fangs?

She stared at him, he was making a sound deep in his throat like he was growling.."Jack?"

Suddenly he lunged at her. He tore up her face and sunk his fangs into her neck, sucking all the blood out of her.

"Daddy?"came a small voice at the foot of the stairs. He abandoned his wife's body and attacked his small son. The boy screamed and tried to run, but his little legs didn't get him far before the feral vampire jumped on him and planted his fangs into the child's neck.

Mick,Beth,and I walked out of the apartment building where Larry lives. Jack wasn't there, Larry said he hadn't seen him in awhile either.

Mick sighed,"Where else are we supposed to look?"

I shrugged. Beth answered though,"Maybe his wife has remembered something else, we should go back, just in case."

"OK, you're probably right, you are so smart Beth,"Mick said smiling," I don't know what we'd do without you."

Beth smiled.

"OK you two lovebirds,"I said teasingly,"can we go now?"

They both blushed and Mick answered,"Sure, c'mon."

When we got back the house was exactly the same...except a window was broken, on the second story. When Mick saw that he started to run towards the house, Beth and I followed quickly. Mick was about to kick the door down, but before he could I ran up to the door and opened it,"It's unlocked you idiot." I said and smirked.

"Oh.."he said and resumed running into the house. We entered the kitchen, spaghetti was cooking on the stove and a picture of..well something that a little kid drew was sitting on the table. No one was there. We checked all the rooms downstairs and didn't see anybody so we started upstairs, I was in front going up the stairs and first to spot the ripped up body of a little boy near the top of the stairs. I gasped and Mick asked from behind me,"What is it?"

I climbed the rest of the stairs stepping out of the way so they could see. Beth put her hand over her mouth and gasped, Mick stared with a grim face. He walked past the body farther down the hall and found the body of Mrs.Garland.

"We were too late.."he said sadly.

"If only we would have come a few minutes earlier or stayed longer..." Beth said her voice trailing off.

She walked into the bedroom...and screamed. She flew back out of the door and hit the opposite wall thrown by some unseen person and out of the bedroom walked Jack Garland.

I was gonna make this longer but I wanted to stop here so there could be a cliffie :) hehe. Ok now please please please review!
