“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.

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

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

Ashley got a phone call and read the name on the display, it was Eric Fox, the president of the company that owned the prison. She slid her finger over the keypad and answered the phone, “Hello?”“This is Eric Fox, we need you in the prison as soon as possible, and there has been a security breach on the computer system.”“What does that mean?” Ashley asked.“Someone logged onto the computer in the maintenance department. It’s either a staff that’s still alive or a vampire, we don’t know and we have to find out before they blow up the building.”“Blow up the building? What are you talking about?”“There’s a self-destruct mechanism that can take down the entire prison. The computer that was compromised has accesses to that prompt.”“Isn’t there an access code or other safety precautions in place to stop that? Can’t you take down the system from the corporate headquarters?”“No, it’s on an internal network, it’s not internet based.” “Can you cut the power to the prison?”“Yes, but the b

No prompt for a bomb.“What’s that?” Jesse asked.“Looks like a blueprint,” Ashley replied. “Of the basement floor from what it says.” “Cut the cable,” Jesse said.“Hold on, I want to look at this,” Ashley replied. “They’re paying us to cut the cable, then we can leave.”“There’s no one here, you can wait a minute. I want to see what they were looking at.” “What does it matter? They’re not paying us to look at their computer shit.”“Go look around, see if you can find anyone alive, or any vampires!” Ashley snapped. “I’m leading this team and I’ll tell you when we cut the cable.”“Fine,” Jesse barked back. He took off followed by Arthur.“What are you doing?” a voice called out. It was Bohdan stepping out from between two shelving units.Ashley jumped when she heard the sound of Bohdan’s voice and spun around to face him.“Who the fuck are you?” Ashley asked. She pulled a pistol and pointed it at the vampire who was now in her view.“I thought everyone knew who I was,” Bohdan replied.
