It turned out to be rather anti-climactic. After only minutes of sipping on my special blend, viewing the footage on the hard drive, I found him. I had decided to focus on the parking lot cameras first since that was the one place I knew he was. After jumping through a bunch of feeds, renaming each directory as a description of what it was viewing for later, I found the one showing the section of short-term parking his car was found in, and selecting the proper file for the hour we knew he parked based upon his ticket issued by the machine, I spotted him pull in.

And he just sat there.

I sped through the footage and was forced to go to the next file before he finally exited the car, leaned back in presumably to leave his wallet, keys and note, then closed the door and marched directly toward the main entrance of the terminal.

I flipped back to one of the directories I had renamed earlier, which had a view of the main entrance, selected the proper file, and soon had him on camera entering the complex. Hunting around I found several more views that captured him marching straight through the terminal, then he suddenly made a beeline to the right.

Another camera showed him approach a group of storage lockers. He retrieved a key from his pocket and opened one of the lockers. I watched as he removed a briefcase, then closed the door. He opened the case, removed several items including what looked like a wallet and phone, stuffing them in his pockets, then closed it, strolling casually back into the main thoroughfare of the terminal, and toward the platforms. Within minutes he was boarding a train, and I was looking up the number to find the destination.

I wasn’t one to believe in coincidences, but then again, I had never believed in vampires. If I tied his wife to the private club, could this actually not be an innocent case of a husband fleeing the law, but of a husband fleeing to become a thrall? With one of Lazarus’ key henchmen in Detroit, could Lazarus be headquartered there now?

The sun broke through the slats in the blinds, and I got up to shut them. I lay down and closed my eyes, my mind racing. Why would Lazarus target a big Wall Street type? Normally they went after the weak, the young, the beautiful. McKinly was none of those.

I sighed as I felt myself begin to slip away.

Maybe I’m just paranoid. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

Or maybe…
