Chloe armed herself with a sword before answering the door. She looked out the peephole and then dropped it into the umbrella stand. She opened the door and Sarah and Tom came in, trying to catch their breath.

‘Are you two OK?’

‘We just got into it with a couple of vampires,’ Tom said between breaths.

Chloe looked concerned. ‘Rek said you ran off, upset when you found out about… it wasn’t him, was it?’

‘No,’ Sarah said in little more than a whisper.

‘One was this girl dressed in… like a coat made out of old baby clothes. The other was…’ Tom nodded to Sarah.

‘Hal was the other one,’ she said.

Chloe hung her head briefly and then asked, ‘Did you kill them?’

‘We didn’t have any weapons,’ Tom said. ‘They killed a couple of people.’

Chloe looked at Sarah, but she didn’t meet her eyes.

Tom felt the awkwardness and took the cardboard tube from Sarah. ‘This is what they were after. Do you know what it is?’

Chloe finally took her eyes off Sarah. ‘No, why would I?’

‘The priest was on his way to give it to you,’ Sarah said. She reached Chloe the bloodied piece of paper with her name and address on it. Chloe looked at the paper, then at the tube. ‘You didn’t look to see what it was?’

Tom glanced at Sarah, then back to Chloe. ‘We didn’t want to. The vampires couldn’t touch it. We figured there must be some protection on it. Maybe you’re the only one who can open it.’

Chloe took the tube from Tom and rolled it over in her hands. ‘OK, let’s go into the kitchen and let the Daves take a look at it before we try anything.’ The two of them started moving. Chloe took Sarah’s arm and stopped her, then turned to Tom. ‘Oh, ah, you might want to go into the living room first, Tom. Second on the left.’ Tom nodded and walked through the door.

Chloe lifted Sarah’s chin and made her look into her eyes. ‘No weapons, huh?’

‘Yeah.’

‘That the only reason Hal’s still walking around?’

Sarah tried to look down but Chloe wouldn’t let her. ‘Sarah, every day you let him live is another couple of innocent people in the morgue.’

Tears welled in her eyes. ‘I’ve known him since…’

‘I know. I’m sorry. But eventually you, or some one of us, will have to put him down.’

Sarah nodded and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Chloe put her arm around her. ‘Come on. Let’s go and see if we can figure out what this thing is.’ The two of them walked towards the kitchen.
