as warm as humans after they have fed. Xavier told me once that living blood reanimates a vampire's body, even granting them the ability to have erections!
“Natasha, I've spoken with my other employees and no one remembers seeing Annette leave with anyone.” Darian said, as he gazed into my teary eyes.
“Oh Darian, this is making me sick to my stomach...where is she!” I exclaimed. I was frustrated, my mind was tormented by the worst kind of images one could imagine. Where was Annette!? My chest felt tight and my head hurt. Darian said nothing as he consoled me. The silence was interrupted when Warren's pager went off. All eyes locked onto him as he looked at his pager, he frowned, then pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. We continued to watch him, not giving him a moments privacy.
“Hey Matt, you paged me, what's up?” Warren asked his partner. So now we all knew who paged him. “What!?” Warren exclaimed. “You've got to be fucking kidding me!? Now, right now? I can't fucking believe this! Okay, okay, thanks.” Warren hung up the phone, he looked at Darian. As he began to speak, he was interrupted when Darian's phone beeped and a female voice came over the intercom speaker.
“Master, S.U.I.T. officers are downstairs.” The secretary announced then fell silent. Darian walked over to his desk, and picked up the handset.
“Tell me,” he said.
I could see him frown slightly. Okay, no one was getting any good news tonight.
“I see...well...let them come.” Darian said then he hung up the telephone.
“I heard everything, what in the hell is going on?” Xavier asked, walking closer to Darian.
“What's going on?” I asked, I was completely confused. I looked to Warren, as I was walking towards him, the door flew open and a team of S.U.I.T. officers rushed into the office. They were all dressed in black fatigues, their ultraviolet guns pointed at Darian and Xavier, as he was standing next to Darian.
“Alright, just stay right where you are, don't fucking move! You move, we shoot, got that?” said one of the uniformed officers as he slowly approached Darian, aiming the tiny red laser of his gun at Darian's forehead.
“What is the meaning of this?” Darian asked calmly. He stood beside Xavier, his back straight, shoulders broad.
“We have found a body of a woman in the trunk of your car, Darian Alexander. She was reported missing and someone called in a clue where she could be found. You are under arrest for the suspicion of murder,” said the officer. All the other officers on the team stood silently around the office, keeping their weapons locked on the two vampires.
“We could do this two ways, the nice way...the more entertaining way...” he said as he motioned for two officers to flank Darian. “You can resist allowing us to take you out where you stand, or number two, you can come quietly with us, and await your trial, it's up to you. What's it gonna be!?” he asked. I could see his finger squeeze the trigger of his gun slightly. One of the officers that stood between Warren and me, whispered to Warren, he wanted to know why Warren was present.
“I'm helping out a friend.” Warren said, pointing to me. I looked back at Darian.
“There's no need for violence, gentlemen. I'll go quietly.” Darian said. “Can I at least see the body that was planted in my automobile?” he asked calmly, as he made his way towards the arresting officers.
“Are you fucking kidding?” asked the leader of the team sarcastically. “You can see the pictures when we're done, I'll even get you the wallet size, now let's go!” the cocky officer said as he cleared a way for Darian. The other officers flanked Darian as they headed out of the office. Xavier looked to be as confused as Warren and I.
Who was in Darian s trunk?
I looked at Warren, I wanted to know. “Warren, what's going on?” I asked sternly. Warren looked down at me, his expression was pained.
“Annette is dead, Natasha. It
