Chapter 28
The gang was huddled over a map of the city, studying it, as Kevin and Nick discussed possible places were Joseph could be hiding. As soon as AJ had explained the situation to Nick a couple of nights before, they had decided to go back to Kevin’s and use that as theiadquadquarters while they searched for Angel.
So far they hadn’t had any luck. Nick had asked every contact he knew in the underworld, and even some of his contacts’ contacts, but he had come up empty. AJ, Howie and Kevin had gone to the more seneigneighborhoods, trying to find out if any of the criminals lurking around there had heard anything, but again, nothing. The girls had stayed back at Kevin’s going through book after book in search of something that might give them a clue as to where Joseph and he gang might be hiding, but they hadn’t turned up anything. It seemed they had run out of resources, so now they were looking over the city map, hoping there might be something, anything, that would look like a great place to hide.
“Are you sure you don’t know where he might be?” Kevin asked for the fifth time that night. Nick looked up at him sharply.
“If I did, don’t you think I would have told?” He growled, “I want to find that bastard just as much as you do, so just back off okay? I doing the best I can.”
Kevin raised his hands in peace offering gesture and turned around to look at the map. AJ looked up at Nick,
“Well, you can’t blame the guy for asking. After all, you’re the vampire. You, of all people, should know where the hell this guy is!”
“Fuck you! Why would I know this? It’s not like I actually know the guy!” Nick said in a menacing voice.
“Oh and we’re just supposed to believe that?” AJ said, “He sired you Nick! Of course you fucking know the guy!”
“What you think I was given a choice? You think we were friends before he turned me?” Nick asked, “Fuck! He attacked me in an alley, drank my blood, fed me his and then I died. When I woke up, it was in a strange house. He was gone, dead, or at least that’s what everyone thought. I never even knew his name until I found some older vampires who knew him and told me about him!”
“Geez! Calm down! Both of you!” Jess yelled. “This isn’t gonna get us anywhere, so if you’re gonna keep bickering, I suggest you go somewhere else and let us get some work done!” Kevin smiled at her, and leaned over to give her a kiss.
“I’m gonna go see if I can’t beat some info out of someone.” Nick said, and before anyone could respond he was out the door.
AJ rolled his eyes and went over to the stack ofks lks lying in the corner. They had already gone through them, but he figured it couldn’t hurt to try again.
Nick walked briskly down the street. He was headed to a bar, where he knew for a fact that he could find someone to talk to. Of course, the damn humans had already been to the bar, but he doubted they had managed to find who they ought to have. See, there was a guy, who liked to hang out at these seedy places. He usually tried blend in, and Nick knew for a fact that if he heard there was a bunch of kids running around asking questions about vampires, this guy would have high tailed it right out of that place without anyone noticing.
Nick wasn’t even sure this guy knew anything, but if anyone knew, he did. So he had to try. And he was pretty sure this guy would tell him if he did know anything. Nick wasn’t just anybody in the vampire community and this guy was well aware of that. Turning a corner, Nick walked down an alley leading to the entrance of the bar. He straightened his back and raised his head, making sure he looked every bit the master vampire he was.
He pushed open the door and was immediately hit with a wall of smoke. He walked into the overheated room and looked around at the patrons. He recognized a few vampires and other demons sitting at some of the tables, but he didn’t see the person he was looking for, so he walked up to the bar and sat on a stool. The bartender was busy discussing something with a balding human, but as soon as he saw Nick he excused himself and walked over to him.
“Hello Leon.” Nick greeted with a raised eyebrow. Leon tried to smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes as he greeted Nick,
“Ni…Nick! To what do I owe the pleasure of such exquisite company?” He asked. Nick almost laughed at the guys attempt at sucking up. If it wasn’t so damn pathetic he would have.
“I’m looking for someone…you might know where he is.” Nick said. Leon picked up a dirty rag and started polishing the bar, in an attempt to keep Nick from noticing how much his hands shook.
“A…and who might that be?” Leon asked.
“Jake…You know where he is? And don’t lie Leon, I’ll know if you’re lying.” Nick said leaning further across the bar. Leon leaned forward, while letting his eyes scan the room to see if anyone was looking at them.
“He’s in the back, playing poker. Do you want me to tell him you’re here?” Leon whispered. Nick laughed and leaned b
“I
“I think I’ll just surprise him.” Leon nodded,
“O…okay, just go through the door at the end of the bar.” Having said that Leon hurriedly walked to the other end of the bar, wanting to get as far away from Nick as possible.
Satisfied that he had gotten the answer he wanted, Nick rose from the stool and proceeded to walk down the length of the bar, to the door leading to the backroom. Although he knew that this was a private poker game and that anyone wanting to enter was expected to knock a secret knock first, but Nick had never really been one for rules, hell, he’d fallen in love with a slayer, and right now his only mission was to find her. He kicked the door in, and stalked over to the men and demons circling the small table. He sneered when he saw Jake jump up from his seat and run through the backdoor. Nick quickly followed him into the alley out back, not even sparing a glance at the other people in the room.
Jake only reached the end of the alley before Nick caught up with him. Nick reached out his hand and caught Jake’s jacket. He spun him around and slammed him into a nearby wall. Pressing his arm against Jake’s throat Nick leaned in and hissed through his fangs,
“Now now Jake…why are you in such a hurry? I only wanna have a chat with you.”
Jake’s eyes widened in fear, and he started sweating profusely. Nick heard his heart rate pick up speed and smiled evilly, the smell of fear was always such a sweet scent.
“I don’t know what you mean!” Jake stuttered, “I wasn’t running from youjustjust remembered I had forgotten to return some rented videos!”
Nick laughed; he couldn’t believe Jake actually thought he’d fall for that.
“Is that so?” Nick asked getting even more into Jake’s face, while increasing the pressure on his airways.
“Okay...okay…fuck! What do you wanna know?” Jake asked, knowing that Nick didn’t believe a word he had just said.
Nick turned his yellow eyes upwards, pretending to be thinking about it.
“The Slayer,” He finally said, “I wanna know where she is.” Nick hissed.
“Slayer? What Slayer?” Jake asked, pretending not to know what Nick was talking about.
Deciding that the threat of violence wasn’t enough to get Jake talking, Nick pulled back the arm pressing down on the man’s windpipe, as if he was gonna let him go, but just as Jake thought he was off the hook, he slammed his clenched fist into Jake’s nose, breaking it.
’t f’t fuck with me Jake!” Nick whispered menacingly, “Tell me what you know, and maybe I’ll let you live for another night.”
Still holding a hand to his bleeding nose, Jake finally gave up pretending not to know anything at all. He knew that, if necessary Nick could keep him alive for weeks just to torture him until he got what he wanted. Jake did NOT want to experience that.
“Okay…the Slayer.” He began, “I don’t know where she is, but I know someone who does.”
Nick raised an eyebrow and got into his face again,
“And who might that be?”
Jake tried to climb into the wall, as Nick approached him again,
“His name is Fensahuit. He’s a Brahmaparush*.” Jake stopped to take a deep breath, as he was unable to breathe through his broken nose, “He lives down in the cave by the old cemetery.”
Having gotten the information he wanted, Nick threw a 5 dollar bill at Jake’s feet and stalked out of the alley. He wanted to get back to Kevin’s as soon as possible, now that they finally had a genuine lead.
Before he turned the corner he heard Jake mutter something about “damn ungrateful vampires”, and he chuckled a little.
* A vampire from India that enjoys consuming human beings. This creature would drink a victim’s blood through its skull, than eat the brain from the skull and finally proceed to wrap thetim’tim’s intestines around its body and perform a ritual dance.
