Chapter 6

“SO WHAT do we do now?” I asked Tomas. I had to take big strides just to keep up with his long legs. I found myself panting, my breath visible in the cold night. “How do we find the Russians?”

“We do nothing. If the Russians took him, he is likely… gone.” His word choice made both of us uncomfortable. “I will search out their leader, Oleg, and speak with him. I will find out what he knows.”

“But I want to be there.”

“No. They are dangerous, and I will not risk you.”

Risk me? What the hell did he mean by that? I looked at him, but his face revealed nothing.

Tomas gazed out into the sky toward the horizon. “It is nearly dawn. We must hurry.”

Picking up the pace, we quickly made our way toward the river to an old warehouse district. I followed Tomas and the others to one of several abandoned warehouses covered in graffiti. Otto closed the door behind us and secured it with a heavy metal bar.

“Where are we?” I asked, looking around the dark, empty warehouse.

I pulled my hands from my pockets and blew warm air into my fists, then rubbed them together. I could barely see anything, but I did notice there was a large SUV parked just inside the double-wide garage doors. It reflected what little bit of light there was like it was shiny and brand new, the only indication that someone used the warehouse.

“We are home.”

“You live here?” I said with a frown. From what I could see, there was nothing here. What did they do? Hang upside down from the rafters like bats?

“Technically this is just temporary housing for us. We are from Bavaria. In southern Germany.”

“Oh.” I was still confused.

We followed Tomas toward the back of the warehouse, where a stairwell led down to an underground level. Light was shining from below, and it got easier to see where I was going as we moved toward the stairs. We walked down the flight of creaky metal steps, which landed in a small barren room, lit with overhead florescent lights.

Underneath the warehouse was an old nuclear bunker, built during the Cold War from the looks of it, with walls made of thick concrete enforced with steel. A large metal door stood imposingly at the bottom of the stairs with a sophisticated electronic lock. It looked completely out of place, like something that belonged in a bank vault, not underneath an abandoned warehouse.

Tomas tapped at the keypad and unlocked the door. The thick, solid metal door opened with a loud clang and a hiss. I followed Tomas through the door and was taken aback by what I saw.

“Whoa.”

The inside of the bunker was not what I expected. It was like a large loft-style apartment, completely decorated in a modernist style. Being underground, the shelter obviously had no windows. No windows meant no sunlight, of course. It seemed like a perfect place to call home and to sleep if you were a sun-phobic vampire.
