Chapter forty-eight: Death haunts the Ranlones

Alarmed by the disturbance, the neighbors called the police and within minutes several patrol cars were at Christopher's house. Norma arrived minutes later, after Mark and Doris woke her up to tell her that another bunch of dead vampires had turned up in one of the Ranlones' houses.

“Where's the owner?” Norma asked Mark and Doris once she had entered the house and checked that there is no one but the destroyed vampires everywhere.

“It doesn't show up,” Mark replied. “Maybe he was kidnapped too.”

“I'm tired of seeing this scene,” Norma said. “There's definitely someone doing this, and we don't have a damn clue who it might be.”

“This is the second member of the Ranlone to be involved in any way with vampires,” Doris said. “I'm already beginning to doubt the story that they are attacked for trying to get the boy's girlfriend back. Something else is going on here.”
