A short while later, Claire was done and ready to join her fiancée for the dreamy dinner date. She had her own surprise for Adams as well. Adams dinner surprise for her triggered her deepest romantic senses. She needed to return the favor by looking good for him. Besides, she did miss her fiancée extremely and needed the night to be full of romance. She could not dare take any chances. The nature of their day jobs made such a night a rare occurrence. The night had to count.
The fact that the dinner date was in-house came in handy. Instead of pajamas or any other clothes that people put on at night, she had something better in mind. She picked a medium-length red silk dress for the occasion. On her lips was a nude shades with warm hues lipstick that played up her warm undertone of her light brown skin.
In general, her face was well made up to look the prettiest she could for Adams and light up the moment. In her feet was a pair of designer heels suited to magnify her well-sculptured medium-sized figure. They also matched the beautiful red silk dress. Adams had finished setting the table. He was just waiting patiently for her to come down and join him.
As she came down the flight of stairs, Adams attention was caught by the sound of her heels against the maple wood stairs. He could not resist but walk to receive her. Slowly and magnificently, she appeared from the ground above like a bride walking down the aisle to meet her bridegroom. Her walk all the way down looked systematized and in harmony with the sweet cool music that played in the background as she watched each step.
Adams was so fancied that he just awaited and watched with no words to say as she approached him. On reaching close to him, she tilted her beautiful face upwards with her eyes straight into Adams. He stretched his left hand straight for her to hold as he pulled her closer to him.
He placed it on his shoulder as he positioned his around her waist to have as little distance between them as possible. With an I-love-you-very-much smile imprinted on his face, he leaned forward a little to give her a welcome-back and you look stunning romantic kiss. With her hands burrowed dip into his hair, she could not help but savor the moment and close her eyes to receive the kiss in accordance.
A while later, they walked hand in hand to the dinner table. Adams could not forget his gentleman manners. He pulled her the chair to sit down. He then walked to the other side of the table and sat facing her. They served dinner and began enjoying the well-prepared meal as they exchanged sweet lovely words to each other. As they were about to finish eating, Adams served the red wine to crown it all.
Shortly, he then switched the music to slow romantic dance tunes. Without wasting time, he took her hand for a dance. They slowly danced as they still made love in words and kisses. Slowly they danced towards the stairs. It was about time they worked on their intense feelings and fulfil their wish for the night. At the base of the stairs, Adams picked her up and carried her to the boudoir.
This is where they had a climax for the night. He placed her softly on the rose-decorated bed as he lay himself softly on top of her with their lips locked tight. Their hands were busy caressing each other’s body. None of them had the time to take off the shoes. They left that to the legs as they drowned themselves in love. Adams lifted the beautiful dress off her leaving her with her inner wears. She also did the same for Adams clothes and threw them to the floor.
They cuddled for as long as they could until they were both in their birth suits ready for the next stratum. They felt each other’s warmth as they made love through intense coition until they were taken by sleep. They fulfilled each other’s wishes to the best of their ability through the night.
The following morning, as they were both preparing to leave to their various work places, Claire got a call. It was from Michael, the Central precinct captain seeking her immediate arrival at the precinct. Though it was normal for her to get calls from the precinct, she had a bad feeling about that day. Being a detective, she sensed something was wrong from the way the captain talked.
She was much affected until Adams noticed and asked about it.
“Honey, what is wrong, what has happened? You seem disturbed by what you have heard from that call,” he asked, as he got closer to her.
“It’s nothing. It’s just that…the captain sounded different on the phone and I fear for the worst,” she replied as she finished her preparations.
“Relax honey; don’t think about it too much. May be, he is just having a bad day or his mind is occupied with other things. Though a captain, he is just a person like any other.”
“Of course I know that but…he has been my captain for years now and…I am a detective. I have not heard him speak in such a tone before.”
“People change my dear, people do change. Given the right situations and circumstances, people can easily change…and sometimes even without warning.”
“That is also very true my love. I think I should take your advice and get to the precinct first. Speaking of which, it’s time for me to go.” She kissed him good day, “now, go easy on those teenagers, there is nothing to worry about.”
He kissed her back, “of course baby, I will go easy on them. See you when I see you.”
She looked around for a while, “what am I forgetting?” she asked.
“Here, this is what you are forgetting,” he handed her the detective badge.
She snatched it out of his hand in a hurry turning for the door, “Oh…thank you honey. I love you. What could I do without you,” she replied as she turned reaching for the door.
Adams looked subtle, “are you sure you are okay honey,” he asked her.
She stopped a while and turned to look at him, “of course I am okay baby. Everything is okay. No overthinking, remember?” she answered with a faint smile.
Putting on his blazer, “I have known you for years and not once have you forgotten your badge before,” he expressed looking at her.
She lengthened the smile and held it for while, “I see what you are doing…good day honey,” she answered and walked out shutting the door behind her.
“What am I doing honey…” he smiled and turned to pick up his briefcase talking to himself, “just trying to be a good fiancée, that’s all.” He also followed out and left for Kibich University.
Claire arrived at the precinct. She hastily got inside and headed for the captain’s office. As she walked past, the officer’s look on their faces confirmed her earlier fears. By then, she knew something was terribly wrong. All she had left was the answer to the question of what. She got to Michael’s office and inside she went. The captain had put on the same look as that on the officers’ faces. She did not give the captain more time to put himself together to start the conversation and the reason for the call. She looked worried, “Captain, I have had my share of trouble thinking about your call and enough time to put myself together for anything. So, please…get it over with and tell me what the hell is wrong and why everyone is looking at me as if I am a walking dead,” she demanded as she sat down. Michael sat upright, took a deep breath and looked her straight to the eye, “You may not be dead but I’m afraid someone is…someone you care about deeply. I am so sorry. I
Later that evening, her sister got home from a three-day school trip. Claire was already at home. Her sister was living with her. No matter how hard it was for Claire to break the news to her, she finally got enough courage. As Jane placed her bag on the couch, “I really missed you sis. I see you are still keeping the city safe and looking good as always,” she remarked. Claire reached to hug her, “I missed you too little sister. How was your trip? You look as good as well,” Claire commented. They both sat next to each other, “the trip was very okay. We really enjoyed ourselves. How is Adams? I thought he would be here?” Jane asked with a smile. “I am glad the trip went well. As for Adams, he is very fine and still in love. He was here last night and left this morning. We are okay. As for the city, I wish I could say the same,” Claire replied in a sorrowful voice. Jane looked more attentive, “why…what did I miss, tell me?” she inquired eagerly.
Thomas was home at the lair. In his left hand was a glass of fresh blood. In the other hand, he held the T.V. remote. He was busy scanning from one channel to another. He seemed like one searching for something specific or, nothing at all. After several scans, he tossed the remote onto the couch across his position adjusting his sitting posture to a more comfortable one. At that moment, Catherine was returning to the lair. Thomas stood from the couch and walked to the dining area. On the table was a number of blood bags. He quickly poured some in another glass and handed it to Catherine. As he passed her the glass of blood, “honestly, I don’t get what these humans spend so much time watching. I have never found anything worth my time. I think we should sell the bloody…idiot box…that is what it is,” Thomas lamented. Catherine looked angry with him, “what the hell is wrong with you! How many times do we have to talk about this?” she questioned Thomas as she too
After Peterson’s burial, it was time to get down to business. It was about time the team learnt how to hunt and kill the bloodsuckers. They gathered in the briefing room ready for Rebecca to begin the lessons. She had not yet arrived. A while later, Claire’s phone buzzed. It was her mother calling. “Meet me at the abandoned western trailer pack with your team. Be quick. Time is not on our side,” Rebecca instructed Claire. “Okay. What should we carry,” Claire asked. “As far as I am concerned… nothing. Not even your handguns. They are useless on these brutes but…since it is protocol, just carry them with you,” her mother answered as she hung up the phone. Claire notified her team of what she had been told and without waste of time; they got into one of the police SUV cruisers and left for the park. After about a ten-minute drive, they arrived at the park. Rebecca was waiting for them parked at the gate. Upon seeing them, she drove on into the pa
At the Kibich Central Teaching and Referral Hospital (KCTRH), Kate, a surgical doctor and Daniel’s acquaintance was coming out of a three-hour surgery. Before going to the changing room to get out of her surgical attire, she rushed to her office and locked the door behind her. She quickly unlocked a lower drawer on the left side of her desk. She then took out a blood bag and helped herself to gratification. As a vampire, working at the hospital as a surgeon, always exposed to blood and, keeping her secret was no easy task. An empty blood bag later, she was fully quenched. She walked out to the changing room and got into her normal attire. Her day’s shift was over. As she was going back to her office to get her effects, Jason, an intelligent handsome medical doctor approached. He stood right in front of her, “Today you have no excuse for turning down my proposal. It’s early enough,” he said as he handed a rose paper-fold to her. She picked the rose and
The following day was one of the big days for the students at the Kibich University. The annual cultural festival was scheduled for later that night. At around midday, all the classes for the day where done. Jane and Vanessa, her best and closest friend, were among others coming from the classes. One could easily tell the importance of the day to the students from the livelihood amongst them as they walked to get ready for the great event. Among the students was also Jonas and his best and closest friend Toby. Both were classmates to Jane and Vanessa. The four were pursuing the same degree in journalism. Jonas was not only a classmate and friend to Jane. He had an eye for her. Since their first year in the university, he was longing and hoping to have her as his girlfriend. He was not the brave-type though concerning expressing his feelings to Jane. He always found himself holding back every time he tried to speak his heart out to her. Nonetheless, his friend Toby wa
Minutes later, detective Claire and her team arrived at the scene. As usual, before they could get to the bloody cadaver, they walked around the scene looking for anything that could give them a clue as to what had happened to the young girl. As Claire’s eyes scanned the crowd, she noticed her sister, her friends and Adams had already surrounded the scene as well. Everything including the music that was playing at the dais had halted giving way to the ear-piercing screams. To the students, it became a sorrowful and shocking night; a very dreadful moment. They had not seen such an incident in their school involving one of their colleagues for quite a long time. To make matters worse, the body of the girl in question seemed torn apart. The body had huge, deep crosscuts and puncture marks looking like stings from bees on steroids or an animal with colossal fangs. The very much-awaited cultural festival had come to its impromptu end at the very beginning. One could easil

Kibich city had a guest, mystical guest, which he needed to know more about. It was about time he proved the rumor and his theory a fact. The death of the young university student became his ground-zero and the trigger.Once he was done with the day’s classes, he dedicated his remaining part of the day to gathering required materials for his newly found hobby. He began his search at the university library. He picked a few books that he spent the rest of the day skimming. What he did not find, he resulted for online help and human aid.That evening, he left for Claire’s house to spend the night with his fiancée. This time, not only was he there for his love for Claire but also information. Besides her being the lead detective in the dead university girl’s case, she had
