Chapter 16

The doctor pulled the last stitch tight and cut off the remaining thread. Then he covered his work with a sterile bandage that he stuck tight with micropore tape.

The deep cut ran from under Otto’s left arm down to his hip. It looked as though it had been cut with a surgical scalpel and had taken twenty-three stitches to close it. Otto had told the doctor that it was a knife wound. No reason to add mental instability to physical harm and try to explain that it was actually a Vampire’s talon that had done it.

‘There,’ the doctor said, his voice hinting at the pride that he felt at doing a good job. ‘Now no more knife fights for a while mister…?’

‘Mario Rossi,’ mumbled Otto.

The doctor raised an eyebrow. Mario Rossi was the Italian equivalent of calling yourself John Doe. ‘I see. Well, no physical exercise for at last three weeks. And take these,’ he handed Otto a box of antibiotics. ‘Just in case there is some infection present.’

Strictly speaking the doctor would normally have to report Otto’s injury to the police but Muller had handed him a suitably large wad of cash that had resulted in an instant case of amnesia regarding his late night patient.

They had been heading north when Muller had gotten a call from one of his remaining informants regarding a Vampire living in a small village that was almost directly in line with the route that they were taking and Muller had decided that it would be worth taking a quick stop to dispatch the creature.

When they had got to its residence and let themselves in they had discovered that the Vamp was a young girl. She appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. Notwithstanding the fact that she was actually over a hundred human years old but had obviously been turned when she was still a young teenager.

As a result, Otto just couldn’t bring himself to shoot her and had simply stood, frozen to the spot, when she had attacked him. At the last moment he had reacted but by then it was too late. She had punched him across the room, blackening both his eyes and loosening his front teeth. Then she had kicked him in the ribs, cracking
