I expected some dinky little dive in the middle of nowhere, or a hidden trove like The Dispensary, but Oil and Water turned out to be a massive, two-story building located just a few miles out of the city. Halogen spotlights beamed its location into the night sky, and thunderous 80s rock music could be heard all the way at the other end of the street. The exterior had a solid, warehouse feel, made exciting by expertly crafted graffiti murals of ghouls, dark alleys, and figures in cloaks. It didn't so much advertise its presence to the Hot Topic shopping goth crowd as it demanded their attention.

The parking lot was packed to the brim, and Lyanne and I were forced to valet park. The valet wore black leather biker clothes that were probably supposed to be intimidating, but ended up reminding me more of The Fonz from Happy Days. Not that I was in much of a position to judge at the moment.

Eve had insisted that we try to fit in while we were stalking here, so Lyanne and I were forced to dress the part. I was in a black tee with cut-off sleeves, dark jeans with tears at the knees and black armbands that absolutely screamed douchebag at a hundred decibels. “You actually found a way make yourself unattractive,” Lyanne had told me, shaking her head at the armbands. I vowed to burn the damned things when we were done. The jeans I would keep, but only because my Iowa sensibility won’t let me throw clothes away, regardless of the fashion choices they represent.

However uncomfortable I was, Lyanne had it much worse. Eve called the getup that Lyanne had been forced into “gothic Lolita.” For a woman who wouldn't even put on a pair of pajamas if they didn't have a designer tag on them, this was the highest grade of torture.

The plan had been for us to hang out on the sidelines, waiting for my instinct to pick up on an Incubus, then stalk him until I found a moment to strike in private. Interrogate, kill or rescue as the situation called for, then rinse and repeat until we were satisfied with the information we had gathered. That plan went out the window the moment we stepped through the front doors.

My senses went fucking wild and I nearly dropped to a knee, wavering like a drunk until Lyanne caught my elbow to keep me standing.

“The fuck—” I hissed, my skull searing with a violating pain.

“You alright, bro?” A guy nearly seven feet tall and swollen with muscle leaned in, concern on his face as he grabbed my other side, helping Lyanne carry me to a nearby seat. As my focus returned, I pegged him as a bouncer in the sea of thin, lean figures, then his club ID swam into focus and I gave him a wan smile. Even in the midst of my psychic violation, nothing about him seemed of. He was human, but clearly not sensitive to immortal energies.
