“The F.B.I. dude and the skeleton lady were weird,” Jasmine said to me.

I grunted in response, too distracted to engage her in any sort of meaningful conversation. I had not disposed of any bodies in the area of Hamilton Boulevard. That meant that the bizarre woman’s inexplicable abilities had confirmed my worst fear. The teeth marks found on the victim had come from another vampire.

Jasmine, still visibly shaken by the poor condition of the human remains she had seen, seemed unconcerned by my emotional distance. She pulled the cruiser into the parking lot of the police station and parked next to my civilian car. She forced a smile at me and nodded as I exited our squad car.

“I’ll see ya next week,” she said. She started to back out of the parking lot but slammed on the brakes. “Actually, I guess I’ll probably see you tomorrow for Crockett’s funeral.”

“I’ll try to make it,” I lied. I waved goodbye as I collapsed into the driver’s seat of my car.

Officer Crockett’s untimely demise, while tragic, was not something I was going to be able to commemorate. Even if I had not had another job to go to during the funeral, I doubt I would have been able to hide under a shady tree for the entire memorial service without drawing attention to myself. With the way things were going, I considered the strong possibility that I might be running for my life by the next afternoon. I let out a deep sigh at the thought as I pulled out of the police station’s parking lot.

As I was contemplating running from my problems, I literally ran into another one. Two figures suddenly emerged on the nearly deserted street on which I was driving. They were darting across the street, and I felt the impact against the hood of my car even as I was desperately slamming on the brakes. Adrenaline surged through my body as my subconscious screamed at me for speeding on a residential street. I leapt out of my car, terrified that I had killed both of the figures.

Bathed in the car’s headlights, the two bodies were easily visible even without my predatory eyesight. The first was a young Hispanic boy who was lying on his stomach. Despite his positioning, his face was pointing up and his eyes were fixed in a glassy stare. His neck was clearly broken. The boy’s body made me sicker than I had been when I saw the disintegrating corpse, but I forced myself to check on the other victim. The second body was that of a woman in her early twenties. I was relieved to see that her head and body were facing the right way, but startled a moment later when her eyes shot open. She pressed her hands out, arched her back and suddenly leapt to her feet in a single motion. A disturbing cracking noise filled the air as she turned her head to the left and the right. She rolled her shoulders and pushed some loose strands of brown hair out of her face.
