When Night Falls(Pt20)
Joe spun around, looking for him in the darkened room.
“Now we don’t want to get you dizzy.” Came the deep chuckle from somewhere.
“Then come out here face me and stop hiding behind the walls, like the coward you are.” Joe shot back.
“And ruin the guessing game as to who I am? That takes all the fun out of it.”
“I don’t find any of this fun. You are a sick, twisted prick who gets his jollies from killing innocent people.”
“This sick, twisted prick managed to get you here…alone.”
“I did as you asked, let them go. You gave me your word that you wouldn’t harm them.”
“I did…I don’t remember that. As you can see they are unharmed, but there is one thing you didn’t take into consideration. You are to trusting Mr. Elliott."
”Sometimes you have to be trusting, for the sake of others.”
“Wise words indeed. Do you trust me enough to let these two lovely ladies leave with you?”
“This in one of those times where I’ll have too.” Joe glanced at Lily, then Crystal as he waited for a reply; that took to long in coming.
“Well that certainly is a shame.”
”Why is that?” Joe took a timid step toward Lily.
“Before you take another step Mr. Elliott, carefully look around this room.”

Nick was standing in the kitchen pouring a glass of blood wine when the cell on his hip beeped. “Knight.”
“It’s confusing when you answer that way.” Andre’ chuckled.
“Some old habits die hard.” Nick replied. “What is it Andre’?”
“I have a Dylan Kershaw at the gate, he wants to see Mr. Savage.”
“Dylan Kershaw.” Nick repeated. “I don’t recognize his name. Send him away.”
Nick heard him repeat this to Dylan, then his voice came back over the cell. “He said that Sav would want to see him.”
“Tell him to come back another time.” Again Andre’ relayed the message.
“He insists that he be allowed through.”
Nick looked up when Evelyn came into the room. “Evelyn, do you recall Sav talking about a Dylan Kershaw?”
Evelyn looked thoughtful for a moment. “Oh yes. I remember meeting him once. It was a long time ago. Sav was seeing him when Joe and I met. He must be in his 40’s by now.”
“He’s at the gate wanting to see him.”
“Really.” Evelyn studied Nick’s face. “You didn’t know about him? I’m a little surprised about that Nick. I thought you knew everyone that Sav was with.”
“Apparently not him.”
“Well he’s a very nice person. I believe Sav would like to see him.”
“Tiny just pulled up to Nick.” He heard Andre’ say in his ear. “I’ll let him through. What about Mr. Kershaw?”
“Send him with Tiny.” Nick spoke into the phone and ended the call. “What do you know about this Dylan Kershaw?” Nick asked Evelyn as he poured her a drink also.
Evelyn proceeded to tell him what little she knew about him. She was positive that Nick would grill him more about his relationship with Sav later, getting every little detail from him.
A few minutes later they heard Tiny come into the house, yelling for Sav. Nick quickly left the kitchen and intercepted him in the foyer.
“Savage!” Tiny yelled again.
“Where the hell have you been?” Nick barked.
“Nice to see you to Nicky. Where is Savage?”
“He’s in the studio with Kyle. Now answer my question? You were suppose be on that plane guarding them. Where were you?”
“When I left Sav in LA, I flew down to Africa with some friends. We were deep in the bush when I got word about what was going on.”
“Why did it take you so long to get here?”
“Save the question for later Nicky.” Tiny brushed past him, heading toward the studio. “Word travels slow in the bush.” He called over his shoulder.
Nick turned from his retreating back, to the dark haired young man that was standing just inside the door. “You are not the 40ish year old man I was told about.”
He smiled slightly at Nick. “Dylan Kershaw. Nice to finally meet you Mr. de Brabant.”
***
Tiny swung the door open to the studio. Kyle was sitting on the edge of his chair, softly strumming a guitar and Sav was sprawled out on the floor, on his back. His arms were behind his head, leg bent at the knee and his chest was bare.
“I’ve never seen a more inviting scene.” Tiny finally said.
Sav snapped his eyes open and smiled up at him. “Would you care to join me?”
Tiny came over and towered above him. “Staring up at the ceiling is not what I meant Savage.” He reached down and unceremoniously hauled Sav to his feet, embracing him in a tight hug. “How are you holding up?”
“Not good, but don’t tell anybody.” Sav whispered.
“Why isn’t Joe here with you?” Tiny released him and sat him back on his feet.
“You haven’t heard?”
“The last thing I was told, was the shootings at Thomas’ funeral.”
Sav dropped his eyes to the floor. “Joe’s not here. He went to meet with the man responsible for all of this and bring Lily and Crystal home.”
“Why didn’t you or Nick go with him?”
“He had to go alone. If he didn’t, Lily and Crystal would die.”
“Damn Joseph and his morals.” Tiny grumbled.
“We had to do as he said Tiny, too many people have died already.” Sav shot back.
“I know.” Tiny pulled him to his chest again. “Is Joe blocking you?”
“Yes, since he le….Dylan.” Sav voiced his surprise at seeing him standing in the doorway. He disentangled himself from Tiny and went over to him. “What a surprise to see you.”
“Hi Rick. It’s has been a long time.” Dylan gently hugged him.
“Yes it has.” Sav broke away first. “And you look…look just as I remember.”
“You never told me about Mr. Kershaw, Richard.”
Sav shot a glance at Nick. “There was nothing to tell. It was just a short fling, we had a lot of fun together, but it didn’t mean anything and we parted friends. That’s all.”
Tiny noticed the smile fade on Dylan’s face at what Sav told Nick about them. He glanced at Kyle and knew he had seen it too.
“He’s a vampire Richard. From what Evelyn told me just minutes ago, that he would be in his 40’s now. Did you bring him across before you parted?”
“No, I…he wanted me to.” Sav turned his attention to Dylan. “I wouldn’t do it. So you found someone to do if for you. Anyone I know or you met while we were together?”
“Let’s just say…..a mutual friend.”
“Tiny, may I have a word with you?”
Kyle sat the guitar aside and stood up. “I think I’ll go see what Beth is up to if she’s not asleep.”
“Oh Dylan. This is my son Kyle Manning.” Sav pulled Kyle beside him.
“I can see the resemblance, but you never told me you had a son.”
“I didn’t know myself, not up until about eight years ago anyway.”
Nice to meet you Dylan.” Kyle replied shaking his hand. “I’ll come back later. You two get caught up.”
“OK…later then.”
Tiny was carefully watching Dylan, remembering everything about him from years ago. He was the same as then, only now he was a vampire, but something else nagged at his mind.
“Tiny.” Nick repeated.
Dylan turned toward Nick. “You don’t have to leave on my account. I was going to ask Sav if would show me around while we caught up. He told me so much about his home in Ireland.”
“OK. We’ll start inside, but some places we can’t go. There are people asleep here. Then we can stroll around the grounds.”
“That’s not a very wise thing to do, under the circumstances.”
“Nick, this place is guarded like Fort Knox. I could use some air.” Sav went over and slipped his shirt back on and slid his shoes on his feet. “You can stand on the deck if you want to and watch from there.” Sav told him. “If Joe calls…"
”I’ll come to you right away.” Nick reached up and gently caressed his cheek, then leaned in and kissed him. He shot a look at Dylan as a warning to him, then spun on his heels. Tiny soon followed behind.
“That message couldn’t have been any clearer.”
“What message?”
“The way Nick looked at me after he kissed you.”
“Oh.” Sav chuckled. “Just ignore him. Nick always does that when he feels threatened.”
“Threatened by whom?”
“You.” Sav called over his shoulder as they went outside.
“Why would he feel that way?”
“You might move into his territory…me.”
“Ah, I see. He knows a little about us and he thinks I came here just to jump in bed with you.”
“Something like that.”
“Well that’s not the case. I came to see you, since you haven’t been to see me in a very long time.”
Sav closed the door behind him as Dylan followed him out.
“I though we were going to start inside.”
“I needed the air first.”
Dylan looked around to what he could see. “Wow, you weren’t kidding. How much land did you say there was?” He asked going down the steps.
“40 acres now. Joe bought the property behind him about 15 years ago. It was a wooded area, a small clearing for the house that used to be there. He hasn’t changed anything on it. Evelyn took care of the rose garden that Rebecca started back in 2006 until she tragically, suddenly passed away. He hired someone to do it after that.”
“You can smell their fragrance.” Dylan turned and looked up at the house. “I had a hard time imagining how big it was when you described it to me. It’s massive.”
“Its home.” Sav replied softly, shoving his hands deep in his pockets. “A time not so long ago I hated.”
“Oh, why is that?”
“I was sick…well I still am really.”
I don’t understand. We’re vampires, we don’t get sick.”
“Let’s go this way and I’ll tell you about it.”
Dylan got in step with him, out of habit, he linked his hand through Sav’s arm as they walked around, listening to Sav telling him about the past.
***
“He’s not looking to good Nick.” Tiny commented as they made their way to the living room.
“Everyone is under a lot of stress over this ordeal. We’ve been keeping a close watch over Sav since he came home.” Nick stopped in the middle of the room. “What do you know about Dylan?”
“The few times I met him, I liked him. Sav looked happy when they were together, given the fact that he had left Joe for a time.”
“You said liked...past tense. You don’t now?”
“He’s been here all of an hour Nick, same as me. He’s a vampire and we all change to some degree when we cross over.”
“You don’t trust him?”
”I didn’t say that. It just doesn’t sit well with me that he waited all this time to come here and see Sav. No letter, no calls, no nothing.”
“So why do you think he showed up here now?”
”You’re asking for my opinion?”
Nick glanced around, “You are the only one in this room.”
“You’re here too.”
Nick rolled his eyes. “Yes, I’m asking for your opinion, but don’t get a swelled head over it.”
“I’ll certainly try not to.” Tiny smiled. “I believe he might try and worm his way back into Sav’s life. Dylan was quite taken with him when they were together. Much the same way you and Joe are.”
“And you.” Nick put in.
“Well yeah.” Tiny replied. “But I know that it will always be a friendship between us, nothing more.”
“While Dylan is here, you will keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn’t tread in our personal space.”
“Our personal space? Don’t you mean yours and Joe’s?”
“And yours.” Nick said. “That’s your task until he leaves.”
“You got it boss.” Tiny saluted him. “Anything else I can do, now that I’m here?”
“Everything is already taken care of. We’re just waiting on Joe to get back with the girls.”
“I can’t believe you let him go alone.”
“Trust me. I can’t believe me either.”
“I would have gotten here sooner, had I known all the trouble that was going on.”
”You’re here now, so don’t worry about it.” Nick told him and sat in the nearest chair, leaning his head back.
“You look beat. When was the last time you had any decent sleep.”
“um…I don’t remember. The day the building blew up…I think.”
“Maybe you should get some rest then.”
”No, I can’t.” Nick sat up. “Too many people are depending on me right now. I don’t have time to rest.”
“That may be Nick, but what good are you, if you’re too exhausted to protect them?”
“When Joe returns saf….”
”When Joe gets here. I will wake you up. Somebody has to look after you too and I’m just the person to do that. If anything changes within the next 4 hours, I’ll let you know.”
“Tiny is right.” Rick said from the doorway. “I believe we can handle things while you get some much needed rest.”
Tiny smiled brightly at him. “See, I have back-up.”
“Think he’ll listen to us?” Rick questioned as he came further into the room.
“Probably not, but it’s worth a try.”
“Should I get reinforcements? I’m sure if we all sat on him he would give up and sleep.”
“Or one of us can sit with him.” Tiny put in.
”You don’t have to sit with me. I’m not a child.” Nick scoffed at them, falling back in the chair.
“So this means you’ll try and rest?” Rick said firmly.
“Yes, yes…I’ll try, although I don’t think I will be able to.”
“I don’t believe it. He’s actually going to listen to me for once. I’m so touched Nick.”
”Don’t flatter yourself Mr. Allen.”
“Ah boo….and here I thought you liked me.”
“I do.” Nick said softly.
Tiny smiled at Rick. “Let him sleep. We can go to the den and you can fill me in on the rest of what’s going on around here.”
“I’ll get Phil and Scott too. You might want to grab the cell, that’s how he keeps in contact with Andre’.”
Tiny returned to where Nick was and gently took the cell phone from his hip. “I need this just in case.”
Rick slid the door half way closed and they left Nick alone for awhile.
