Chapter 3

.

Wesley spent the next four days and nights looking for information. He spoke with his informants, cross-referenced what they heard on the street with what he had about cults and sacrifices. Sure enough he found where they matched. Wesley spoke with Virginia about this.

.

Wesley: My informants say there is a vampire cult who came to town recently. This cult worships Belia, who is capable of giving your father wealth and power in exchange for sacrificing his children. One thing though, how far along is Janet with her pregnancy?

Virginia: I don't know. I got his letter last week, I haven't seen her in a year and a half.

Wesley: It's my fault, I should have asked Lilah when she was here.

Virginia: I don't understand why it matters.

Wesley: The ritual requires your little sibling to have been born, a pregnant Janet wouldn't work.

Virginia: And I can be sacrificed, even though I'm not a virgin?

Wesley: Yes. But I have a plan. A priest I know is willing to bless a large amount of water. I can pump it into the sprinklers of where we believe the cult is hiding.

Virginia: Thank you Wesley, I can't tell you how much this means to me. After you take out the cult, what will you do about my father?

Wesley: I don't know. Taking a life, even his, is not easy for me.

Virginia: You're a good man Wesley, my father isn't. This might be a setback for him, but he will find another way to sacrifice me, this baby, and maybe the next one after that, for his own selfish reasons. Please Wesley, you have to kill my father.
