Chapter 9

Thomas Watson arrived in Washington early that morning back from Chicago, and he went straight to the White House.

Watson had worked for the Secret Service for fifteen years. He started after his three-year pro football career was cut short due to multiple concussions. He could have kept playing, but he didn't want his mind to be a bowl of mush for the rest of his life.

So he applied for and was accepted into the training academy for the Secret Service where he excelled.

He had worked his way up through the ranks due to his imposing size and keen mind. He seemed to have a preternatural sense of when things were going to "break bad," so to speak.

His proudest moment came on the campaign trial in 2008. He was assigned to protect then candidate Thomas Elder. Watson was an unaffiliated voter at the time, but he ended up supporting Elder.

Elder had just gotten the nomination, and he was campaigning in North Carolina near Raleigh.

Elder walked off the stage to thunderous applause. Before Watson could talk to Elder about the speech, a vague figure—probably masculine—threw Elder against a wall. Watson didn’t have time to defend Elder, nor was he quick enough.

The creature hissed, and it tried to bite Elder’s neck. But Elder pulled out a silver stake and stabbed it, which popped like a tick, coating Elder in blood.

Watson remembered rushing to Elder, and Elder said, “That was a vampire. Not my first encounter with them.” Then Elder collapsed in exhaustion.

Elder missed the next few days of campaigning. The official word was he had a sore throat and a touch of the flu, but Watson knew better.

Watson thought of this day often, and he thought of the conversation too. He always felt he saved the future president by giving him enough time to react. The president agreed, and he put Watson in charge of monitoring vampire activity. This was not a task many others knew about, for, if this were discovered, people would think President Elder were a fool.

Over the past few years vampire activity had been relatively quiet. Eerily quiet. Consequently Watson and President Elder believed the vampires were planning something.

And they were planning something. But at night when his fears came Watson asked himself, When are they coming for me?

What he didn’t notice on that day in 2008 was Vladimir Lenin lurking in the background watching. Lenin wanted to see how Watson fought, and Lenin was impressed with the movement and the natural skill Watson possessed.

Lenin had locked eyes with Watson from a distance. Just for a split second, but that was enough. Enough to be able to one day worm into Watson’s brain and summon him when at the right time.
