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.
Vampire Covenant Room CHAPTER 39
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

Bohdan saw Cara fall to the floor in a heap, and then saw the woman standing behind her holding the fence post digger she used to hit her. The woman was slight of build, olive colored skin with dark eyes and long brown hair. Her name was Sara. She was panting and almost shaking but the look in her eye was that of a cornered animal. She was pissed. “You let my girls go,” Sara said. She locked eyes with Bohdan and readied herself to strike out at him.“You may have knocked out a woman who didn’t see you coming, but you won’t take me out so easily,” Bohdan said. “I will have your girls, and then you when I’m finished.”Sara looked around the room to see if there was anyone who could help her. She could only find her daughters and no one else. “Girls, I want you to leave, do you understand me?” Sara said.Bohdan watched to see if the girls would do what their mother told them to do. They hesitated and began to walk away from Bohdan. Seeing them step away, Bohdan reached out and grabbed Cl

Rancid stepped out of the cabin and looked towards the westbound sun. It was two days later and Anne never came back. The bodies of the dead men were gathered up in a pile out in a distant field and eaten by coyotes and buzzards. The vampires were hungry, only Cara and Ashley had food from the cabin they could eat and it was gone. It was late afternoon and the group decided to head into the town they had seen from the mine entrance on the hill.Dressed in the clothes they found in the cabins and removed from the dead men, the group gathered on a horse drawn wagon and headed off into town. What town they didn’t know. Rancid took the reins and led the horses down the path. Nobody knew anything about horses or buggies, but they were quick learners and made good time leaving the cabins behind.Hours passed and the horse drawn buggy came into town. Immediately they noticed they were no longer in the modern world. There were no cars or trucks, just horses and buggies like they were using. T
