TemperanceBooth1: Thank you :) and I would update faster, but then I would run out of chapters and make you and everyone else reading wait even longer.

Watch Yourself

Chapter Twelve

Michael and David stood at the back of the armory looking up at the many monitors on display. A map of the city was shown, showing the locations that Tanis had provided.

Selene sat at a desk off to the side with Eve standing at her shoulder as they looked at the satellite images of those locations from recently on the laptop.

Tanis had taken Adam upstairs and was showing him all of the books he had acquired over the years. Selene didn't want her young son exposed to the dark underworld they lived in yet and had charged Tanis with the task of distracting him from what was going on. The old historian gladly did as she asked. He didn't want to be a part of tracking down the one person he never wanted to see again.

To do so was counterproductive in his eyes. Even if he wanted to rescue Erazebet.

Looking at the map of Budapest it didn't look like any of the buildings Tanis had provided were special or remarkable in any way. There were seven locations marked off in red, each one unrelated except for the fact that Dominic and his lycan pack had some type of connection with them. They had been researching for hours only to end up with nothing until recently.

"Well, Dominic and his pack could be here," David suggested, pointing at the old abandoned hotel on the east side of the city. Tanis had said the lycans scouted the building once but had later abandoned the idea of staying there for some reason.

Michael shook his head no. "They wouldn't be hiding there. It wouldn't make sense if they were. The area surrounding that hotel belongs almost completely to vampires." He pointed to another location seven miles south of the hotel. "What about here? At this old office building?"

It was possible that the lycans could be staying there. lycan sightings were common in that area; at least four different reports were heard over the police scanner each week.

"Maybe."

David's eyes roamed over the displays. He eliminated four of the five other locations due to the heavy human and vampire populace around each one. The last location was set on the outside of the city, miles away from anything else of importance. The building was surrounded by miles of forest. It seemed to be well hidden by all of the green foliage and would have been overlooked if Tanis hadn't of pointed it out.

He looked at the location of the building and compared it to where Alvóház sat on the map marked in green. The two locations weren't very far apart in comparison. David traced the path he and Eve had taken through the forest to the road on the other side and saw that it could lead to either of the two possible lycan dens.

"They could be there in that building," he suggested, pointing it out for Michael to see.

Michael nodded in agreement. He too had been considering that very same building. None of the other ones had made sense, especially since one of them was now the police station and another was a high end dance club that catered to vampires.

"It's the only other one that makes sense," he said, "considering the others." Michael turned to Selene. "What do you think, Selene?"

Eve leaned in close over her mother's shoulder to flip through the satellite photos on the laptop as Selene turned to glance quickly at the monitors and then at Michael and David. "Both are possible. lycans are lurking all over both buildings. We should scout the area around both buildings tomorrow night. Split into two groups and meet back here afterwards with our findings."

"Why don't we go tonight and go in and get Erazebet if we-" Michael cut the young vampire off before he could finish.

"There's strength in numbers, David. It would be better if we went in together."

"Daddy's right, David." Eve turned to look at her husband, leaving her mother to look at the photos for herself and walked into his warm embrace. "From what I've just seen it would be better to go in together. There're too many lycans for just a couple of us to handle at once." David nodded, pulling her tight against his body. Usually when one of them said there were too many it tended to be true in the end.

Selene moved to stand in front of the monitors and typed quickly on the keyboard for a few seconds. A moment later the photos from the laptop came up on screen, time stamped from the night before. The others moved closer to the monitors and looked up at the screens with her.

She then started to point out the areas that were heavily guarded by lycans with Eve interjecting and mentioning what she had also observed from the photos. Together the four of them began to map out what they planned to do the next night. Selene and Michael were to go to the building outside of the city while Eve and David went to the business tower. They were going to stay for a few hours and watch for any signs of Dominic or his second in command, Tryn. Tanis had told them that Tryn was ruthless and bloodthirsty, ready to kill at a moments notice. When Tanis was still leading Dominic around aimlessly, Tryn had threatened to kill him on a daily basis but Dominic had continued to protect him until the fatal blowout.

"We'll leave an hour before sundown and return before sunup," Selene ordered. She wanted to make sure they had enough time to get settled at their posts before nightfall when the lycans were sure to come out.

"What if we can't tell if that building is the one Dominic is using, Mom?" Eve asked, pointing up at one of the photos. She already knew the answer but she hoped it wasn't the one her mother was going to give her.

Selene's lips thinned to a firm line. They both knew the answer and neither one liked it. "Go in but be careful and watch each other." She looked at David as she said the last part. He nodded quickly, knowing the ramifications if he didn't keep Eve safe.

The foursome stayed in the armory a while longer and prepared the few weapons they planned to take with them the next night along with everything else. Michael and David placed the items in their cars while Selene and Eve turned off the computers and checked the manor's security system one last time. When they were finished they left the armory and went upstairs to rest for the night.
