((Curt-Man, Carth doesn't know about Sabrina, he was uncocious. You could bring her up to Carth. ))

 

Two police officers entered Ethan's room, the first took a look at the statement while his partner looked Ethan over. After the first officer was finished reading he handed the note to his partner and they traded spaces.

 

"What do you think of it?" The first wispered into the other's ear.

 

Ethan didn't catch the next bit of wisperes but one of the officers suddenly spoke directly to Ethan, "We're going to have to take you down the station for more thourough examination, if you'll just come with us?"

The two cops looked at each other, one of them glanced back at Ethan, "I duno..." He mumbled. "Do we need to take him to the station?" He kept his volume low, Ethan could barely hear him.

 

"Of corse we have to!" The second officer almost shouted but suddenly dropped to a wisper, "They need to..." Was all that could be heard before the wisper dropped below Ethan's audability.

 

After some exchanged wispers the first officer gave in, "Sorry son, you really need to come with us. The..." He paused for just a fraction of a second to carefully choose the word, a suspicious action, "...Detective, would like to talk to you more about the situation. It would really help with the investigation and we'd never hear the end of it if we just let you go."

 

"Anyway..." The other officer interupted, "You're comming with us weathor you like it or not so don't make us put on the cuffs."

 

((You still have that shot gun...but do you really want to be come a fugative?))

The officer rolled his eyes, "No you're not being charged, but if you don't want to co-oporate I am going to place you under arrest." He folded his arms across his chest and waited for Ethan to decide.

 

Before Ethan could though, the other officer chipped in, "We just need to question you in more detail so why don't you be a good little boy and come with us before you make more trouble for yourself."

Back at the sewers, all Sabrina could do now was wait. Occasionally, her friends came back with more possessions and slowly the abandon room began to look more like a room in their old house. As Sabrina waited, her other friend Mina (who is a vampire as well) started talking to Sabrina, "Don't you sometimes think that we are cursed?" Sabrina looked to the floor in front of her as she sat on it. "Definitely...we can't enjoy daytime. We crave blood, and majority of our kind snack on innocent humans. You know what does the same thing? Wolves and other creatures at night." Mina didn't reply back but Sabrina spoke again, "But we have to look at the positive aspect of things. We can use our curse to help others."

 

Sabrina looked up at Mina. "Since the clan doesn't know who exactly killed their members, I can still travel by night. But we will continue living here just in case." When Sabrina finished talking, Ryan and Jennifer came into a room with a little portable container. "Good thing you brought that." Sabrina said. She open the top and inside where bags of blood. "Maybe in the future we don't need these anymore." Sabrina said as she looked up at Ryan and Jennifer.

(Out of Character: Maybe later on in the story, one of our characters will find a way for vampires not to crave blood. They can use some injection like in the first Blade movie. Just a thought...)

The cop shrugged, "Of course you get your phone call." He gestured towards the door, "You can use the phone in the lobby."

 

 

*****

 

Dane made a phone call to the police cheif's cell. The police had already been informed of the situation even before Claire had been dispatched. However, since the escape of two of the suspects the police network needed to be informed to keep an eye out. Carth and Jake were now fugatives, their homes would be watched, their friends questioned. They weren't going to do much in this city...except get caught.

 

The conversation had been straight to the point, strictly buisness. After Dane Hung up the phone He and his five goons headed for the basement, they didn't stay in the hospital for long. Their buisness was done, the cops would deal with the rest.

 

Underground tunnels were what the vampires used during the day to get around. Dane lead the way, the echo of every footstep on the stone floor rang off the walls and disapeared into the shadows. The tunnels were dimly lit with flikering broken lights and expired bulbs.

 

Finally they reached their destination. They opened a rusty door that screetched on it's hinges and ascended a creaky staircase covered in cobwebs. Their destination was a popular night club, Black Cellar, also home to the gang, Black Malice. Black Malice worked largly for the vampires but remained independant, and they owned the club.

 

Black Malice was among the strongest and largest of the many gangs in York. They were a very dark group, violent and cruel. Their own leader called himself Malice.

 

The public area of the club was vacant until night, the back of the club was even larger, an intricate network of hallways and rooms that housed all the buisness of the Gang.

 

Dane lead his men upstairs and down a hallway. The men waited outside while Dane went in.

 

"Dane." A slender man with long black hair and dressed in black welcomed the vampire.

 

"Cain, I have some work for you."

Ethan's call was short. He spoke to the waitress, who passed the message along to Carth and Jake.

"Tell them to check into a hotel, not to go back hom, and I'lll try to see them tomorrow."

After he hung up he explained to the policemen.

"If I don't make the deal they'll fly back home and I'll lose my chance."

"yes we are."

"your friend says for you to check into a hotel and not go back home, he will see you tomorrow"

"well alrighty then, come on Carth lets get out of here." Jake stood up and grabbed his jacket.

The two police men looked at Ethan confused, "What meeting, what are you talking about?"

 

*****

 

Carth got up and followed Jake, "Where are we going to go? Obviously we can't go home we're running away from the cops." Carth scratched his head, "Which hotel? How will Jake know to meet us, he won't know what hotel we're in." He paced on the sidewalk in front of the restrant thinking to himself. Carth stopped and looked at Jake, "Okay, he must have been taken by the cops. So, after we've booked into a hotel we'll call someone else and send them to visit him and give him a message where to meet us. How's that sound?"

 

*****

 

When Dane left the room he was joined by his men and they made their way back into the tunnels leaving the Black Cellar club behind.

 

Cain set about the work Dane had given him. The first thing Cain did was put on his trench coat and grab two pistols and some extra clips of ammo. The weapons were a precaution, he had no intention of using them or really any need for what he was about to do.

 

Cain left his room and entered the room across the hall where some of his friends and fellow gang members were hanging out. "Lorry, Vinny," Cain said pointing in turn to two of them, "We've got a small job to do, come with me."

 

Lorry pulled herself away from a guy she'd been making out with and put her coat on, Vinny set down a beer bottle and gave a girl a kiss goodbye on the cheek before grabbing his coat. The two of them followed Cain out of the room, and down the hall towards the stairs. Cain pulled out a cell phone as they reached the stairs and dialed a number.

 

As they descended the stairs another gang member picked up on the other end of the line. "Lorry, Vinny, and I are heading for the Hunter's Pub on Regal St. Meet us there in fifteen minutes, bring your firearm. We've got a little work to do." He hung up. Cain exited one of the Black Cellar's back exits followed by Lorry and Vinny.

The two police officers looked embarassed, "Oh right," One of them shrugged, "Yeah, sure you'll be able to go to your meeting tomorrow. We're not going to keep you over night or anything."

 

The other officer started toward the Hospital's main entrance and exit, the first officer waited for Ethan to follow, "Shall we?" He motioned with his hand for Ethan to follow the other officer.

"We'll call someone from the hotel. Let's just get a room first." Carth looked over at Jake, "What are you going to do about your arm?". They made their way to the hotel, the sun was sinking and it was nearing nightfall.

 

*****

 

The police officers put Ethan in the back of their crusier and headed for the police station. When they arrived Ethan was escorted into the building by the same two officers. They put him in an interrigation room and left him there alone for a few minutes.

 

A dective soon entered the room and starting asking Ethan questions, everything was being recorded in the room on the other side of the one way mirror.

 

"Ethan, your wrote that you were just driving along and saw a mugging gone wrong with your friend involved so you helped out and then somone else came...well, I've reviewed it but it doesn't explain how three people ended up dead. One of them with three bullets from your gun in him. Care to explain in a little more detail?" He slid the chair out and sat at the desk oposite Ethan.

Ethan now knew he was going to have to make something up.

"F***!" he screamed. "All right, you wanna know the truth, I'll tell you. But I want immunity and I want protection, and I don't want it to leave this room, ya hear me! IT DOES NOT LEAVE THIS ROOM!"

The detective's eyes widened with a bit of surprise, but quickly calmed to an intimidating cool. "Whatever you say." He motioned to the glass and they stopped recording. "We're not your enemies unless you're a criminal, we're here to help you." But was he lying, or was he telling the truth?

 

((Ethan seems to know about vampires, it all depends on how much your character knew before the story began, maybe he knows how the system works, maybe he doesn't. Your call jokemaster.))
