Vampire Covenant Room CHAPTER 29
Early evening creeped in and the group in the pod were becoming restless. Only a few vampires could be seen walking the halls across the commons as the sun glared through the window and began to set.Then Bohdan spoke up to Steve, “How come you didn’t get gassed?”Steve turned and looked to Bohdan, “The maintenance department is on the same vent system as the tram lines. That’s so we can fix them when they break down.”“Didn’t your boss die in the gas? Isn’t his office in the maintenance department?” “No, his office was in the administration section, down the hall from Kathy.”“Kathy survived,” Bohdan said.“I kept her office off the vent. I wanted her alive. Long story.” “Seemed odd that you survived when all the rest of the staff died.”“I wasn’t going to connect the boiler to the vent system if I knew I was going to die in the process.”Then the lights in the pod blinked on and off. And again, only this time it went dark for a full second.“What’s going on?” Ted asked.Steve replie

“If they can turn off the air, they can find a way to get to us. We need to buy time, until the National Guard can save us. Sacrificing a few women can buy us that time,” Bohdan said.“What kind of misogynistic prick are you?” Cindy asked. “I’m not some animal you can send to the slaughter to save your own hide.”“You’re a woman, basically worthless,” Bohdan said. “Fuck you asshole!” Cindy yelled.Paula stood up and pointed a finger at Bohdan. “Keep your mouth shut!” Paula said. “I don’t know what I ever saw in you or why I ever came here in the first place.”Kathy chimed in, “You do realize why Bohdan is an inmate here don’t you? He used to kill women for sport. He’s known as Bohdan, the Vampire Ripper. Don’t expect that zebra to change his stripes.”Bohdan shook his head in disgust. “There are nine of us in this metal trap, if we give up two females, in let’s say twenty four hours, that could buy us enough time to be rescued. I think that’s a valid trade.”“What if he’d take you ins

“I still think we should put it to a vote,” Cara said. “No, they chose you,” Kent said.“We don’t have to do anything now! The air will last for a while, give the National Guard a chance to save us first.”Kent looked at the clock on the wall, it was a little after seven o’clock. “I’ll wait till noon tomorrow that is if the air holds out.”Steve turned around in his chair and looked at the behemoth of a man who was taking control of the pod. “Who elected you president?” Steve asked.Kent glared at Steve. “Someone had to take charge.”“You need to give me a chance to figure this out. Giving into the vampire’s demands is the last part of negotiations.”“What can you do? We’re trapped in here, and the vampires have control of maintenance. The only way out of here is through the front gate which is locked.”“Or out the tunnels below the prison,” Steve said. “What’s your plan? To bore through the floor?”“No, can you be more of a condescending asshole? Give me a chance to think on this. Yo

“What do you mean so? We’d be exposed if we tried to get to them. It’s a hundred yards past the commons, down a flight of stairs, another hallway to the maintenance door, through the department and another hundred yards to the tunnel entrance. All while trying to avoid any vampires that might be running around in the building.”“I’d rather try that then let them feed me to those two vampires sitting over there,” Cara said. Isaac and Rancid were both chatting, sitting at a table in the commons area.“Are you going to ask them to leave so you can try?” Steve asked. “I’ll wait till they go,” Cara said. “Who wants to go with me?”No one spoke up. “We need to try to escape, we can’t let them kill us in here. It may seem safe for now, but by tomorrow, we’ll all be dead from carbon monoxide poisoning.”Paula spoke up, “I’ll take my chances here. The National Guard won’t let us die. I’m sure they’re aware of what’s going on.”“You stupid bitch, you’ll be dead by morning.”“He’ll find us air,”
Vampire Covenant Room CHAPTER 32
Four in the morning Bohdan looked around the pod and saw that everyone was asleep. It was ten hours since the vent was turned off and the room was filling with carbon monoxide slowly killing everyone inside. Bohdan saw his chance and decided to take it, he crawled over to Cindy, who was fast asleep and sunk his teeth into her neck and fed off her. Nobody in the pod heard or noticed a thing as he slowly killed her.When Bohdan finished, he decided it was time to leave. He needed Steve’s keys, so he stood up and walked over and took them. While he was looking for the keys he found his pliers and a pocket knife. He took those as well. Now that he had a knife, a thought crossed his mind, it had been over a hundred years since he gutted a woman, and Cindy’s lifeless body lay on the floor of the pod waiting for him.For the next ten minutes, Bohdan stripped Cindy and cut out her bowls dumping them on the floor and spreading them around the pod. Still nobody opened an eye or noticed a thing.
Vampire Covenant Room CHAPTER 33
Bohdan fumbled with the keys and managed to unlock the maintenance door with Cara slung over his shoulder. He entered the short hall into the department to another door and entered. Once inside, he looked around the large, dark, dusty mechanical room looking for the entrance to the tunnel that led to Topeka. What he saw was endless shelves full of wires, tools, and other odds and ends used to repair the prison. To his right were the boilers, near them was the central air units and to his left was the control panel that allowed the maintenance workers to run various parts of the prison and view what was going on.The one thing Bohdan didn’t see was a sign that said, “Tunnel this way.” Cara began to struggle as she woke from her carbon monoxide induced sleep. Bohdan laid her on the concrete floor and walked around the room looking for anything that would lead him to the tunnel entrance. Then he heard voices. The voices of Rancid and Isaac speaking to each other. The room Bohdan was in w

Brian Jordan, CEO of New Systems Corrections Inc. sat at the end of a long conference table staring at his laptop screen. On the laptop was a repeating video loop of a group of vampires entering pod one and forcing everyone out and killing them. The picture was clear, in color and horrific.“They’re here,” a voice called out. It was Eric Fox, president of the company. “About fucking time,” Brian replied.From the door at the other end of the room, three people entered. One woman and three men, it was the crew they hired to fix their vampire problem. They were a private security company called, V Control LLC with the V standing for Vampire.“How was your trip?” Brian asked.“Fine,” the woman replied. Her name was Ashley Blunt, and she was the leader of the group. “Santa Fe to Topeka is a pretty quick flight.”“Who do you have with you?”“This is Jesse Scott and Arthur Hansen,” Ashley replied. “Where’s the rest of your crew?”“We are the crew.”“Seriously? There are over forty vampires
Vampire Covenant Room CHAPTER 36
A voice called out over the speakers on the maintenance console. The sound startled Rancid causing him to turn around without thinking. “What’s that?” Rancid asked.“Fuck I don’t know,” Isaac replied. “Somebody’s trying to call us.”“Wait a second,” Rancid said. He put up his hand to silence everyone so he could listen to the voice. It sounded like two officials talking to each other. The quality of the sound was poor and hard to make out, but Rancid was sure they weren’t talking to them. He took off towards the console followed by Isaac, Bohdan and Cara.At the console, Rancid sat down and looked at the monitors. He heard more voices talking about securing the back wall, and something about moving some officers to a different location. “It’s the fucking police,” Rancid said. “For some reason, they are broadcasting on the prison communication system.”“Should we try to talk to them?” Isaac asked. “What do you want to say?”“Maybe we can negotiate a release.”“A release? To where? We’r
