private investigator.”
    Nedra jumped up and rushed over to Andrew. She bent down and threw her arms around him in a tight hug which almost made him drop his cup. Andrew’s face flushed.
    “Okay, okay,” Andrew said patting Nedra on the back. “You can let go now.”
    “I’m sorry,” Nedra apologized and sat back down.
    “Stop by the office tomorrow and I’ll have you sign the papers,” Andrew said standing up. Nedra and Father Michael followed suit. Andrew walked them to the front door. They said their good byes. Andrew closed the door.
    He immediately went to his office and turned on the computer. As soon as it was up, Andrew typed in vampirism. The search engine came up with more than three million hits. He was shocked to say the least. Andrew clicked on the first one.
    “Sanguine (or Sang) - a vampire feeds specifically off of the blood of others, and cannot achieve satisfaction through any other feeding methods,” Andrew read aloud. He quivered at the thought that people actually drank human blood.
    Andrew continued, “Psychic Vampire (psi vamp) is a vampire that feeds directly upon the vital energy of a being, and cannot achieve satisfaction through the intake of blood. Psi feeding methods can be long ranged or up close. Hybrid vampires are vampires that require both blood and vital energy to satisfy their needs.” Andrew turned on the printer and sent the information to it. He next typed in Renfield’s syndrome. Once up, Andrew clicked on the link and started reading it. “Renfield’s syndrome is traditionally known as clinical vampirism, though not currently categorized as a mental disorder used to describe an obsession to drink blood. The term was first coined by Richard Noll, and is named after Dracula’s insect-eating assistant, Renfield, in the novel by Bram Stoker,” Andrew shook his head. Things were really getting near the edge of bizarre here. For him things were black and white, good or bad, right or wrong, there were no gray areas. Of course it was possible that he would have to open up his mind when it came to this vampirism subculture. Andrew continued reading; “People who suffer from this condition are primarily male. The craving for blood arises from the idea that it conveys life-enhancing powers. According to Noll, the condition starts with a key event in childhood that causes the experience of blood injury or the ingestion of blood to be exciting. After puberty, the excitement is experienced as sexual arousal. Throughout adolescence and adulthood, blood, its presence, and its consumption can also stimulate a sense of power and control. Noll explains that Renfield’s syndrome begins with autovampirism and then progresses to the consumption of the blood of other creatures.” Finally Andrew searched for a description of ‘blood doll’ to have a better understanding. Within minutes he found a multitude of hits. Andrew selected one and read, “A blood doll is a mortal who freely lets vampires drink from them. Frequently found as members of subcultures such as the Goths, blood dolls seek a perverse thrill from the ‘kiss’, but their tendency to actively seek out vampires to give it to them means that they unwittingly walk a very thin and dangerous line with their lives.” Andrew shuddered at the thought that people were actually willing to do this. He had read all he needed to. Andrew sent the information to the printer, shut down the computer, and headed off to bed. The first order of business tomorrow would be to touch base with a courtesy call to Sheriff Delsmann. Hopefully she would be able to help him by providing answers from the investigation. Andrew flipped back the covers and climbed into bed. He recovered himself and after finding that ‘comfort spot’, drifted off to sleep. Soon Andrew was snoring away some where off in a deep sleep.
    Sheriff Delsmann walked into her office with the morning paper and a cup of coffee in hand. She sat down at her desk and put the
