“Cats have always hated vampires,” Hannah says, “but this is ridiculous.”

Purl unhappily howls in her arms as I log into the V Boards in her office. Jude sits next to me on an office chair as I click in with my many passwords and security checks.

Typing is damned inconvenient with one hand.

I had to wake Carl up so that he could set up the connection from her computer. He grumbled the entire time, said that was a huge risk for us to be logging into a strange computer on a strange connection in the company of strangers. I know about risk.

Even though I agree with him, there are more important things on my mind right now. Like saving Graeme and Amelia.

“She has good reason to hate vampires,” I murmur, typing my credentials. “Anthony burned down our house a couple days ago.”

Hannah scratches the cat under her chin, but Purl mewls unhappily, like a protest. “Good reason, yes, but I’m just trying to hold her, not kill her.”

“Success,” I breathe as the forum pops up.

Carl gives me the side-eye, but I’ll take it. This is progress. He’ll even look at me now, which is an improvement on yesterday.

I click my way to the “desperately seeking” section. Usually, a vigilante in any part of the world posts in this forum when there’s a vampire running loose in their city. It’s honestly how I’ve done most of my traveling in my life. Richer hunters will put up money for the Harker to travel to cities to vanquish the bad vampires in a city.

I haven’t been on in a few days, because Graeme’s house burned down, my laptop and everything along with it. They don’t know the hell that I’ve been through in the past few days. And I still won’t tell them.

But I’m going to beg for their help if I have to.

This is going to be interesting.

I need some help in Atlanta, I clumsily type. I don’t know how long it’s going to be for a reply—usually they are pretty quick to respond, but I’ve never posted a plea here myself.

Almost immediately, the replies start coming in.

hey harker!

How’s it hanging?

Vampires in ATL. Again?

atlanta’s an interesting one

Doesnt Steve live there?

Allan does 2

I hold my breath as I keep refreshing the page, seeing the replies come through. When I met Zhi, he told me that the V Boards were a dangerous place, exposing myself too much to unwanted attention. That it makes my movements too easy to follow.

Yet as I watch the replies coming in, it only confirms that I have a good bunch of people who are looking out for me. They’re honestly worried about me. These are the people who, despite distance and anonymity behind computers, I can truly count on.

I may have to limit my exposure on the V Boards, but I’m never going to leave them entirely. There’s too much good happening on here.

Anthony’s there with two people who are special to me, I type. Any help is appreciated.

I can almost sense the stunned pause from users at their computers from across the world.
