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.

Bohdan, Cara and Ashley caught up with Rancid and Isaac in the tunnel. The vampires had excellent night vision and didn’t require the extra lights, even in total darkness. No one knew for sure how long the tunnel ran, but they figured it would be around three or four miles. At first the tunnel was lined with concrete with tubing and wire bundles running along the ceiling. As they moved on the smooth walls gave way to a broken and crumbling concrete façade and finally to Earth and soil with wood supports that held up the loose ceiling. It looked like the tunnel had never been finished and they didn’t know what they would find at the end.“Is anyone else getting nervous?” Cara asked. “We’ll get out, don’t worry,” Bohdan replied.“I didn’t hear an explosion, do you think the prison is gone?” “It would be hard to hear anything in here.”“What if it didn’t blow, they might try to find us.” “We’ll be long gone before anyone finds the tunnel.”As they moved along, they noticed tracks forming

Isaac replied, “I don’t think I have much choice in the matter. I’m starving to death.” “Let’s go,” Rancid said and the two stood up and walked towards the closest cabin.Bohdan, Ashley and Cara stayed close to the ground watching Rancid and Isaac walk towards the cabins in the moonlight. In the distance, they could hear the sounds of cattle and not much else. For the most part it was quiet with only a slight warm breeze.Cara said, “What do you think will happen?” Ashley replied, “I think they’ll both get killed.” “It’s hard to kill a vampire you know.”“I’ve been in the vampire extermination business for five years. I’m well aware of how hard it is.”“Have you ever killed a vampire yourself? Or are you just some sort of manager?”“I started off on the ground floor like everyone else. Yes, I’ve killed many vampires,” Ashley replied.“Is that legal? I mean, being a vampire isn’t a crime.”“No, but being a murdering, drug dealing vampire thief is. There are different rules for vampires

company is a joke. They have no idea how to stop a vampire. I’m surprised you haven’t been killed yet.”Ashley knew a lot of the agents she supervised had been killed over the years. And there had been rumors that the tools they had been given to use against the vampires were either ineffective or broke to begin with. And now she saw firsthand that the rumors were true and her life was on the line.“I should feed on you first,” Bohdan said. “I could save the girls for later, a desert let’s say.”“You won’t feed on me,” Ashley said. “My blood will make you sick.”“And why do you say that?” Bohdan asked. He was getting bored with this woman.“I’ve had shots that turn my blood into something vampires can’t drink. It makes my blood taste bad to them.” Ashley didn’t want to tell him the shots had a limited effect which faded over time. Basically she was bluffing.“If that were the case, why don’t all humans get the shot? There are thousands of vampires running around,” Bohdan asked.“It’s
