The first thing that went through my mind was to think of any relevant tactical knowledge. The only experience I had was reading accounts from World War 2 and Vietnam, and some experience playing video games with Matt.

It was a survival skill that, when shots came at you, you got behind the first piece of cover you could find. Put anything to stop a bullet between you and the guy shooting at you. That seemed like a solid plan, with one problem. The only other thing between me and the house was Teresa, and I wasn’t going to hide behind a meat shield, especially one that had asked me out on a date.

So, I did the stupid thing and charged ahead. I’m sure this is the kind of thing that got you killed. But, as we ran ahead, neither of us got shot. Bullets flew in our general direction, but I got the sense that they either weren’t very well trained, or maybe they were trying to scare us off.

Teresa ran up to below the deck of the house, and I got in under it a second later. The house was raised up, to prevent it from going underneath in some freak storm. The deck was, thankfully, between us and the bullets.

“How’s your throwing arm?” Teresa asked.

“My throwing arm?” I shrugged. “Decent, but I wasn’t exactly first-string quarterback. Why?”

One of the pockets on Teresa’s vest came open, and she handed me something that I recognized, from Hollywood, as a flash bang grenade. “Pull the pin, toss it through a window. Then, we go up.”

“Uh, okay. Gotcha.” I nodded, and I accepted the grenade when she gave it to me.

Teresa smiled, and she kissed my cheek. “You’re doing great, Eric. Just keep being insane and fearless. I like it.”

I peeked my head out from beneath the deck, and thought about how I’d have to arc the throw. It wasn’t a baseball, and the weight wasn’t exactly balanced. However, with such a short range, I figured I could do it.

I shifted the pistol to my off-hand, and stepped back into the open. I didn’t even think about it. I just pulled the pin with my teeth and threw. I scurried back under the deck just as a BAM filled the air.

Teresa was already moving. “Go go!” She whispered loudly.

My ears were ringing, and I knew it had to be hell for Teresa’s vampire ears. We moved to the front of the house, and I adopted the two-hand grip on the pistol as we went up to the front door.

On my mark.” Teresa said, and held up her fingers. She counted down from three in a second, barely giving me time to register she actually was counting. When she hit one, she hissed. “Mark.”

She kicked open the door, and we moved into the main room of the house. There were two men on the ground, covering their eyes and ears.

“Are they vampires?” I asked.

She nodded. “They look like weak ones, probably newborns. That flash bang must have damaged their senses.
