Chapter Twelve

En Route To Laboratory

Present Day July 13th

The rain cascaded down as Desiree put the windshield wiper blades on full blast. It did little to see clearer despite having hyper eyesight. Nor did it help ease the built-up anger she was feeling. She had been duped. In three hundred years, Clayton had never had reason not to trust her. If she had not told Clayton about the functions of the stupid watch only humans from the Fellowship of the Fangs wore, she would be in a better place with Maryl!

Of all the secrets she had gleaned over the three centuries, the one she was most proud of was the knowledge, and subsequent whispering in Maryl’s ear was helping, she prayed, offset the extermination of her beloved O blood types.

The watch wasn’t the only recent blunder Desiree thought as she took a napkin from the side drawer and wiped her side of the window inside. It helped her see a tad bit better.

No, it was not as bad, but still a mistake in her eyes. She should have told Maryl about Stephen, and his meetings with the mysterious Max, who was Clayton. She knew the risk by not relating Maryl to the news. In her defense, she thought silently; she wanted to see how it played out. Killing Stephen Ward had to be done despite his grandfather starting the Fellowship of the Fangs. She was deep uncover and couldn’t afford Stephen to learn anything about her role with Maryl, which was ironic because it was Maryl who brought the Fellowship of the Fang to its present-day powerhouse secret society.

“Are you with us, Desiree? You seemed lost,” Maryl said softly as she stroked Desiree’s hair.

“Yes, sorry. Thinking about the past is all.”

“The past is gone. Pondering about the present and stopping Clayton and his insane plan is what you should be focused on.”

“I’ve been doing some contemplation about that too. We have been to two out of the three laboratories, and they haven’t been there. I am hoping the third one is the charm. We need to stop the extinction of our blood types.”

“Do you think they will be able to convert the enzyme into the other six blood types?”

Desiree stopped at the light and looked at Maryl and her soft features. She smiled. “The good news is that it took Doctor Shelly Leadstone years and years to perfect her serum. To return that enzyme back to its original state and then change it again, I surmise it will take much longer.”

The light turned green. They weren’t far from the last laboratory on their list.

“Unless they can find a different enzyme to work with, which would prolong the process, thereby increasing the time frame,” Desiree said while turning right.

“Basically, we have no clue. We still need to have a sense of urgency about this, Desiree.”

Desiree swerved hard right, narrowly avoided a deer. The car veered toward an embankment. Desiree managed to pull the vehicle away at the last second.

“Streets are slippery; you might want to slow down,” Maryl said with a tight smile.
