the door.
    “ Hey, Dad,” Jack’s smiling face
said from the other side of the hallway, “mind if we come
in?”
    Frank was about to ask who we was, but his
question was answered when Benny came walking in behind his oldest
boy.
    “ What are you two doing here?”
Frank asked.
    “ I need to talk to you about what
happened to Au-tumn,” Benny bluntly stated.
    The Old Man knew there was no point in playing
dumb anymore. Benny had somehow found out. “Let’s go for a walk,
we’ll talk outside.”
    Frank didn’t bother to change out of his
pajamas and robe; instead he placed rubber soled slippers over his
feet, and led his two sons to the elevator down the
hall.
    Down five floors and through the lobby, no one
spoke a word until the three men stepped outside.
    “ Sorry, boys,” Frank said to them,
“I don’t know how safe this building is from eves
dropping.”
    “ Dad, do you know something about
Autumn’s death?” Benny demanded.
    Frank sighed deeply, “Yeah, I think I might.
About seven years ago a group of businessmen from Europe came to me
with a proposition. At the time I was desperate, I was on the verge
of losing the savings and loan, and your mother and I had put
almost everything we had into putting you boys through
college.
    “ This group of people came to me
with the idea of running their foreign currency through my bank. I
don’t know exactly how they were doing it, but they would toy with
the exchange rates and make major profits. As long as I kept it
quiet I would enjoy large pay offs.”
    “ So you were laundering money?”
Jack asked.
    “ Yes.”
    Jack began to speak again when Benny waved him
off, “That’s not important right now, Jack,” he turned back to his
father, “What does this have to do with Autumn?”
    Frank continued, “When I promoted Autumn to
head of finances, she found the discrepancies almost immediately,
and brought them to my attention. I told her not to worry about it,
that it was something I always handled and if it came up again she
should ignore it.
    “ The next month she came to me
again saying she was concerned about these numbers. Once again I
told her to ignore it, only a little more forcefully this
time.
    “ Somehow the European Businessmen
caught wind of her snooping around and they warned me that she had
to stop, so I had to demote her for her own safety.”
    “ And they weren’t satisfied with
that?” Benny asked.
    “ Actually, they were, however,
Autumn continued to snoop around, and they must have found out
about it again.”
    “ And you think these people are
responsible for her death.”
    “ I do.”
    They had reached the hearse and Benny stopped
at the rear door, turned and looked his father in the
eyes.
    “ Am I missing something?” Frank
asked, after a few minutes of silence.
    Benny’s voice was nearly a whisper when he
spoke, “I’m going to kill them. Will you help me?”
    Frank’s expression didn’t change, “If your
serious about this, there is something else you should
know.”
    “ What is it?”
    “ These people from Europe,” Frank
paused.
    “ Go on,” Benny implored.
    “ They’re vampires.”
    Jack let out a snort of the giggles, “Come on,
Dad, quit fucking around.”
    Benny looked at his brother with a smirk,
“Jack, is that really so hard to believe after what you’ve seen
tonight?”
    Jack abruptly stopped laughing, “Point
taken.”
    “ I don’t understand,” Frank said,
confused, “What are you guys talking about?”
    Benny reached out and pulled the back door of
the hearse open.
    Autumn looked up at her father in-law and
waved.
    “ Hello, Autumn,” Frank said with a
smile.

    During the summer of 96, Benny and Autumn
where hanging out a lot and much to Benny’s pleasure he had found
that this girl he was quickly falling for was going to attend IUPUI
as well.
    “ If you don’t mind me asking,”
Benny responded when he heard this news, “what made you decide to
go all the way to
