Chapter 11: Extra, Extra

“UM, PC, have you seen the paper today?” He was just coming out of the shower; his skin damp and smelling like my shampoo.

“No. You didn’t start the crossword without me, did you?” He came up and gave me a soft greeting kiss. I returned the kiss enthusiastically. It seemed like I was constantly starving for his touch.

“You smell nice,” I murmured, distracted from my news.

“So do you.” He smiled at me and leaned over to nuzzle my neck. The nuzzling turned to kissing and before long he was biting and sucking my neck and making my heart race. It took a huge effort to pull away.

“Wait, PC, stop. We can’t. Besides, I think you really need to see this.”

The article had scared the crap out of me. I’d picked up a paper on my way home from class earlier. My eyes had nearly bugged out of my head when I saw the headline splashed across the front page.

“Vampire” Killings Spread Across Manhattan

I vaguely remembered Lisa saying something about some homeless guy getting killed weeks earlier, but with all the recent commotion, I’d forgotten all about her creepy anecdote.

The article described a slew of victims who’d turned up dead in the past few weeks with puncture wounds on their necks and bodies drained of blood. The victims were usually unremarkable—street people, prostitutes, the kind of people who might not be missed right away. The reporter wrote that the police were working on a theory that there was some sort of weird copycat scenario, perhaps someone with mental problems and a vampire obsession.

I wasn’t convinced of that. A few weeks before, I would have read the article and agreed that there was some psychopath out there roaming the streets of Manhattan with a sharp poker and a serious fixation with the undead. My views had changed rather rapidly. Now it seemed like something that PC and his friends should look into.

“What is it?”

I wordlessly spread the paper out on the comforter and watched his eyes grow wide.

“Shit,” he muttered as he scanned quickly. “How did I not hear about this already?”

“You think it’s something that you guys are going to have to take care of?”

“Don’t know. It looks like it, though. Jesus. I better call Noah.” He got up and started pacing, looking for his phone. I could tell he was flustered. “It doesn’t make sense. No one rogue could’ve made such a mess, and even if they did, they’d never be so careless. It’s almost like they wanted it to be visible. And, seriously, how could I not know about this? It’s in the damn newspaper.”

He pressed a button on his phone.

“Hey, Noah. Were you still asleep?” Noah said something that made PC’s face turn pink. He hadn’t been asleep, and I had a pretty good idea why. “Listen, sorry to, uh, interrupt, but I think we have a problem.”

He explained the situation to Noah, then listened while Noah spoke, his face growing more annoyed by the second.
