concentrated on suffocating the slayer that he doesn't see me approach and spray him right in the eyes.
     He grunts and releases his hold on Finn, who takes the opportunity to grab a very sharp pointed stick from the inside pocket of his jacket. It takes a moment for me to realise that it's a stake. How the hell did he get that one through customs? I'm impressed. Travis seems to be gaining his composure as he rubs the spray from his eyes. I step close to him again and spray him a second time for good measure. He calls me a bitch and grabs me by the arm, scary fast, his grip is like steel and I yelp in pain.
     It only takes a split second, while Travis is focused on me, for Finn to lunge forward and plunge the stake directly into his chest. The burly vampire's eyes widen in shock just before he falls crashing to the floor. A floor that is now becoming increasingly flooded with dark, almost black coloured blood. Finn and I stare at him as the life leaves his features, then we make eye contact.
     How on earth are we going to get rid of the body, especially in such a public place where there are security cameras everywhere? Thinking about it, an airport is perhaps one of the worst places to decide to murder someone, even if it is in self-defence.
     Finn steps back and leans against the wall, while my heart is beating like a rabbit's and I keep glancing at the door and praying that no one comes inside. Finn pulls his phone from his pocket and dials a number.
     “Who the hell are you calling?” I ask in panic.
     “The local DOH branch,” he answers, “they'll be able to clean up this mess. Get out of here and wait for me by our flight gate. I'll meet you there once this has all been taken care of.”
     I nod in a daze and dash out of the bathroom as quick as my legs will carry me. Shakily I go into the café and buy that coffee I was supposed to get earlier, requesting that the barista make it extra strong since I need something to calm my nerves. I don't normally like strong coffee, but the occasion calls for it. Passing by the duty free, I spot a vodka display and decide to hell with the strong coffee. I buy a small bottle and pour some into the paper cup. I sit down at the gate just like Finn told me to and sip on my drink. Which is absolutely disgusting, but I crave the numbness of alcohol.
     Sticking to his word, Finn comes along about a half an hour later and sits in beside me silently, our flight is just about to start boarding. Without saying a word, I pass him the bottle of vodka and he takes a long swig before handing it back to me.
     A minute later he turns to me and says, “Let me see your arm, Travis grabbed you in there. I'm sorry about that, does it hurt?” He pulls up my sleeve and examines the bruise.
     “Not at the moment, but then again, that's probably just because I'm a little bit tipsy right now.”
     A small smile passes over Finn's lips. “Yeah well, I suppose we both deserve a drink after that. I can't believe Travis had still been watching out for me after all these years.”
     “Some people never let go of revenge,” I answer, and then they start calling our flight and we begin to board.
     Finn lets me take the window seat, and I fall asleep before the flight has even taken off. I wake up halfway through, and find I've been cuddling into him, resting my head on his shoulder.
     He grins at me and asks, “Did you have a nice nap?”
     I straighten and sit up. “Um, yeah, sorry for, um, leaning into you.”
     A smirk. “You mumble in your sleep.”
     I shove him in embarrassment and tell him to shut up. He laughs quietly.
     “So what's the plan once we get to Tribane?” I ask a couple minutes later.
     “We'll drive out to see your dad, then we'll come back to the city. You can stay at my place. Then I suppose we'll report to Pamphrock and see what he has to say. You'll have to find a way to get back in touch with Cristescu, maybe pretend you're visiting and want to catch
