Chapter 5
.
Wesley heard the dark chanting. He couldn't make out the demonic language, but it was clear they were getting ready to sacrifice this infant to Belia. Wesley also heard the woman begging for these "people" to leave her baby alone. If the sprinklers in this abandoned building didn't work Wesley feared he wouldn't be able to save this infant. Fortunately, they did work. Before these vampires could register what was happenning they were being destroyed by the holy water. Wesley came in just as the water stopped. Ten of the 13 vampires were already dust. The other three were painfully dying, Belia had let them down. Wesley saw the humans, this man was too young to be Magnus Bryce. He was angry and confused as to what was going on, why his vampire friends were dead and wouldn't pay him. Wesley knocked the guy out and removed the sack from the girl. She was a teenager, Wesley had never met Janet before, this could have been her, except her name was Kimberly.
.
Kim: Thank you.
Wesley: You're welcome. Who are you?
Kim: My name is Kim, that guy Rick, was my boyfriend. He left as soon as I got pregnant. Last month, just before little Teri was born, Rick came back, said he wanted to be part of the baby's life. But tonight he, and those guys with dis-figured faces, they kidnapped me. Did they really turn into dust?
Wesley: Yes, they were vampires. But you can still turn Rick over to the police. One question, have you ever heard of Magnus Bryce?
Kim: Who's that?
Wesley: Someone quite similar to your ex-boyfriend, who I still need to deal with.
