Ch 11

Mike arrived outside the club and walked over to Vicki who was listening on her earpiece.

'You should get them out.' Mike said as Vicki put up a hand. A few minutes later she took out the earpiece.

'Nice to see you too.' She said pulling her phone out.

'Not going well?'

'Coreen, has no idea what any code names for drugs. She's on the verge of blowing it.' Vicki sent Coreen a text as she handed Mike the earphone. He smirked as he heard the two girls talking.

'We should tell Vicki about Henry.' Coreen said.

'Henry said he'll take care of it. I don't feel like fighting Christina again.'

'Did you really fight her?'

'Yea, wasn't the most pleasant night. She's a dirty fighter, lucky for me I remembered a few good curses to hold her off until Caleb could get there.'

'How bad was it?'

'She's strong, very strong. Honestly if I wasn't in such a bad mood that day she would have killed me.'

'Why were you in a bad mood? Was it Bill?'

'Yea, he was haunting me about dating him. He still hasn't given up after four plus years. I don't know why he thought that becoming a vampire would be appealing to me.'

'That's why he changed?'

'I guess so, I've never really talked to him about it.'

'He's such a weird guy.'

'Now he's just extra weird. I hope Caleb pushes him out soon.'

'Does he still sit outside your apartment at night?'

'Oh yea, he found out I broke up with Jason and he offered to kill him for me.'

'Should have taken him up.' Coreen said half laughing.

'I was over it by then. If he came by the night I would have said hell yes.' He heard mumbled and then sobs.

'I'll be right back.' Mike took the earpiece out feeling guilty he was listening to their conversation.

'Anything?' Vicki asked.

'Nope, just girl talk.'

'You must have loved that.' She said taking the earpiece from him. Mike turned away wishing he hadn't heard her cry. Vicki put the earpiece in as Kerrie came walking out wiping her cheeks.

'Where's Coreen?'

'She was right behind me.' Kerrie turned to see the doors closed. 'Damn it!' Kerrie yelled kicking the door.

'What happened in there?'

'A man was watching Coreen. He disappeared so that's why we were leaving.'

'Is there another entrance?' Mike asked.

'At the back. You two wait here and I'll check it out.'

'You shouldn't go alone.' Mike said.

'I'll be fine.' Vicki took off running down the alley as people started running out of the front door of the club screaming.

'Looks like it's inside.' Kerrie said pushing against the crowd to the door with Mike not that far behind her. Vicki reached the alley and went to the door to see it was locked.

'Your friend's soon to be dead.' A voice said from the entrance of the alley. Vicki turned quickly to see a blur run past her several times. She swung her club in vain as the voice laughed.

'Vicki, your as good as dead.' The voice said as Vicki moved into the street even though the light wasn't much better she could see the figure was the female bartender, Wynter.

'Your a demon.'

'Of course, there will be a lot more of us passing through until your dead.' Vicki extended her arm and managed to slug Wynter with the club as the demon froze.

'So your not gonna play nice.' The demon moved again and Vicki got another hit in.
