wasn’t that good at fighting hand to hand and she couldn’t risk using magic in a public spot like this. They had obviously been very careful to pick their spot for the ambush.
“I’m not threatening you at all. I’m just trying to keep you safe. It’s my job as an officer of the law.” His explanation was laced with deadly innuendo. She couldn’t help but feel some nervousness about this situation. He could kill her with very little effort and he had the high ground. She wanted to run, but was trapped by a seat belt in a small car. There was no way she could get the belt off and get out of the passenger side before the vampire reached in and either snapped her neck or pulled her out of the car once again. The possibilities kept running through her mind as she looked up at his eyes.
Dom tried to keep him from seeing her shudder, but it didn’t work. His cold hand reached into the window and touched her shoulder. She had never been in physical contact with a vampire before, and it was unnerving. The flesh felt fake, rubbery and cold. It didn’t feel like a person was touching her, and this bothered her. “What do you want me to do?” She asked, knowing exactly what he was talking about, but she hoped to keep him talking until someone could help her. She had no idea what was taking them so long.
“I want you to watch who you’re spending time with. He’s probably not going to be alive much longer, and anyone who’s with him might get hurt in the process.” His eyes glinted with the words and with each breath this small amount of time was becoming scarier and scarier.
Dom’s hand touched her stomach until she realized that she was hinting at something that she didn’t want him to know. She tried to make it look like she wasn’t panicking, but she saw his eyes flicker down to her hand as she moved it away. He smiled at her. “Are you going to give me a ticket?” Her voice was shaking as she asked the question, hoping that would make him leave.
“No ma’am, I’m not going to give you a ticket. I just worry about the safety of the people in my city.” He explained carefully as he pulled his head away from the window. He knew that the camera would be able to hear him now. “Slow it down in the future and be careful, please.” His entire demeanor has shifted. The angry flashing eyes had disappeared and his jaw softened as he spoke. He looked like a worried police officer, concerned about the people in his city. “If I catch you pulling out onto a street so fast again, I’m going to have to give you a ticket.” He explained, careful to maintain his friendly manner, but Dom knew that there was danger in his voice; it was a low hum behind the words.
Dom couldn’t wait to get out of there. Nothing felt safe about this situation, but she still wanted to find out some more information. However he wasn’t going to wait around to answer all of her questions. A part of her regretted not having more control over her fear as he walked back to his vehicle and took off, driving past her and turning out of sight quickly. Dom started her car again and took a few deep breaths to try to control her shaking body. She drove past the grocery store, before remembering the phone and pulling over.
Chapter4
She sat in the car in the parking lot for a few minutes with the phone in her hands. The call was still connected, and she knew that she had to talk to them eventually. She turned the volume up and answered the call. “Hello?” It was more a question, to make sure that there was someone still on the line.
Anna’s voice came over the phone. It wasn’t the person she had originally called, obviously the woman had been patched through to help with the severity of the threats being made against one of her agents and a traveling diplomat. “Are you alright?”
“He didn’t hurt me.” Dom said, her voice was flat, still numb from her encounter. “He just threatened
