It was just after lunch when the sound of Mabel’s heels down the path heralded her arrival. The alarm fitters had arrived shortly after ten and I was now the proud owner of not only a top of the range alarm system but a full security system with video surveillance linked into a private company who monitored my house twenty-four hours a day. I was sure Joe was behind it but I smiled to myself, grateful to have a family that cared so much.

I looked at Tom as he stood at the door, waiting for the all clear to open it. I nodded at him and he smiled, turning the handle and pulling the door wide.

I watched as Mabel bounced down the path, swaying from side to side and I rushed to the living room door and opened it wide, allowing her to continue on through before her legs gave out on her. She seemed to be concentrating on putting one foot before the other. Still not used to the heels, I gathered. Tom and I followed her in.

“Would you like a coffee or a cup of tea?” I asked.

“Tea would be lovely, yes please,” she said breathlessly as she dropped into the chair and immediately took off her shoes to massage her feet. Monty, who was sitting right beside her chair, lifted himself up and dragged himself to the other end of the room. I took that to mean Mabel’s feet didn’t smell of roses but after the events earlier, he was getting no sympathy from me. It had taken two bottles of air freshener to rid the house of the stench.

Tom dropped down on to the sofa as I dashed into the kitchen and boiled the kettle, pulling my old teapot out of the cupboard and dusting it off. Minutes later, I returned to the living room and set the tea tray down on the table.

“Oh dear, you shouldn’t have struggled with that, what with your arm and all,” Mabel said, giving Tom a filthy look whilst reaching over to grab the teapot and pour. Tom didn’t flinch from his seat, arms crossed and legs full stretch in front of him. Something was eating him but I wasn’t sure what it was.

I took a seat on the sofa and watched her as she poured the tea, adding a touch of milk but no sugar. She handed me a cup, and I took a sip, still watching her. Finally, she plucked up the courage to ask me the question I knew was burning on her tongue.

“Have you made a decision?” her eyes were the only thing to give her away. She was terrified I’d refuse.

“I have, Mabel. But there are still questions we need answers to. We want to meet with Emanuel.”

“That’s fine. I would have brought him with me now only sunlight’s not too good for his skin, if you catch my drift.”

Tom frowned at her, unamused. “We meet on consecrated ground,” he stated.

She nodded in agreement. “Wise, although he won’t harm either of you, despite you killing two of his best vampires.
