Rock of Ages, Forever Pt9

Nick and Lynda headed out to his car after having to dodge the reporters in the lobby. Sav’s disappearance was a hot topic in the music world right now and given the bands history, the tragedies they have endured together and now this to add to growing list of gossip, it would always be talked about years in the future, question would be asked about it. Sav and the community were both in danger of being discovered because he was so much in the eyes of the public. The stress of being so well known to a lot of people, being in a band and everything that went along with that, now add the fact the he has to conceal what he, is will not be an easy task.
“So what do you think, is he lying?” Lynda asked when they were in the car.
“Of course he is,” Nick chimed. “He had to tell them something to cover himself and the truth.”
“But how did….oh no don’t tell me.” Lynda groaned.
Nick smiled at her.
“He’s a vampire, oh, that’s not good. What was she thinking?” Lynda pondered more to herself.
“I’m not sure yet, but I’m going to find out.”
“How are you going to do that?”
“I know where she lives here in town.” Nick told her.
“But if she lives in town, why take him so far out?”
“Privacy is best when bringing one across.”
“I think Lacey was being selfish in putting them through all that just so she could get what she wanted.” Lynda commented.
“So do I, but making those adjustments takes a little time, but she still could have waited until the tour was finished. That way she could have spent more time with him, to make sure he has accepted what he is now.”
“He looked pretty confident to me.” Lynda eyed Nick cursorily and thinking about how Sav handled all the questions, except toward the end with Joe.
Nick glanced at her, then started the car. “That was before you knew he was a vampire.”
“But you don’t think he can handle it?”
“Yes he can, he’s doing quite well actually, considering the short time he was away.”
“More than I can say about Mr. Elliott, I thought he was going to punch you several times.” Lynda reminded him.
“So did I, but I couldn’t blame him though, after all, I did basically accuse him of killing his best friend.”
“You pulled the wrong strings on this case Nick.”
“I know, but sometimes you have too.”
The rest of the ride to the station was in silence. Sitting at his desk, Nick typed up the report with Lynda looking over his shoulder, putting in her two cents worth. They both singed it and placed it in the box for their captain to read over and give it a final stamp to be filed with the cases closed. Nick and Lynda said their goodnights and headed for their homes.

Joe slid into the booth and joined Phil, Rick and Vivian in the hotel restaurant for dinner a couple of days later.
“Maybe we should change hotels," Joe frowned at every one around the table. "It gets old having to wade through the reporters every time we come down.”
“You would think they could find something else to write about.” Rick said, as he glanced toward the restaurant door to see what the commotion was about.
“Fat chance in that," Phil started, looking at the door to see the reporters trying to gain access inside. "They want all the details, right down to what color Sav’s underwear are.” He chuckled.
“He doesn’t wear any, so I guess that would be flesh tone.” Rick replied laughing.
“I guess flesh tone would work.” Sav said as he pushed Joe aside to sit in the booth with them.
“Hey Sav, glad you could join us.” Phil smiled.
“Yeah, well you know I couldn’t stay away forever.”
Joe picked up his drink, then looked at him. “Could have fooled some of us, with that stunt you pulled.”
“Oh well, it couldn’t have been helped.” Sav told him, shrugging his shoulders.
“Speaking of….where is Lacey?” Joe asked.
“Out with some friends.”
“That’s funny, she actually let you out of her sights long enough to come here.” Phil kicked him under the table. “Ouch!”
Sav turned more to face him. “Look Joe, I didn’t come here to start an argument over my choice of who I’m dating right now.”
“And we’re not.” Phil glared at Joe, giving him another soft kick under the table. “Are we Joe?”
“Ok, ok.” Joe said putting his hand up in defeat. “But I still don’t like her.”
“She’s not for you to like.” Sav almost yelled.
“Trust me I won’t, as long as I’m not in the same room with her, we should get along just fine.”
Phil kicked him again. “Ouch, knock it off. Phil!”
“Then shut up about Lacey.”
“Why, she’s only going to cause problems.” Joe's voice raised another notch.
“No, you’re the one causing problems.” Sav said and made a move to leave. Joe grabbed his arm and literally yanked him back in the seat. Sav looked down at his hand and then up to his face. Joe saw the flash of anger sweep across his eyes and quickly removed his hand.
“Sorry.” He said with a sly grin.
“I bet you are.” Sav replied lowly. Every one at the table sat in tense silence.
“Ok…well now that that is out of the way, where to next?” Vivian smiled and rubbed his hands together.
“Well, we could go where the next gig is on the tour schedule, starting next week, which is ….” Phil suggested.
“A thousand miles from here,” Joe huffed. “In   Salt Lake City, UT. ”
“The buses would have to meet us there and we would still have to back track over here.” Vivian put in.
“Or we could just pick up where we left off.” Phil said.
Joe leaned back in his seat. “We would have to extending the tour, either way that’s what is going to happen, so it doesn’t matter where we start.”
“We should continue from here, just like nothing happened.” Before he even got the word out, Sav knew they were the wrong ones.
“Nothing happened,” Joe chuckled. “I don’t call being hounded by reporters, being told about a dead body that may or may not be you, being accused of murder, being interrogated for three hours by a detective that would love nothing better than to lock me up…..NOTHING!” Joe ranted and sat up straighter, trying to catch Sav's eyes.
Rick kicked him this time.
“Ouch, stop kicking me damnit!” Joe yelled.
“Excuse me,” The waitress interrupted. “Are you ready to order?”
“Yes we are.” Vivian smiled up at her, then picked up his menu, to which everyone else followed.
She took their orders and went off the fill them.
“You’re not eating, Sav?” Vivian asked.
“Uh... no, I ate earlier with Lacey.” Sav told them, ignoring what Joe said. “By the way, where is Malvin?”
“He had to fly to   color:navy">New York two weeks after you left, to cancel any shows and hope to get them rescheduled. Now that he has a definite time and dates to work with, he’ll have them plastered everywhere.” Phil told him.
When the waitress brought their food; Sav sat back and screwed his face up at the noxious smells.
Rick noticed the look and asked, “Why the funny face?”
“Your food is turning my stomach.”
“Never has before.” Joe commented.
“Maybe I’m coming down with something.”
“Too many blow jobs from the ice queen.” Joe mumbled and moved his leg just in time before Phil could connect with his shin.
“Sav, you look very pale.” Rick reached across the table to touch his arm to get his attention.
Sav suddenly got up and left the table.
“Guess he is coming down with something,” Rick said worriedly as they all watched him head outside. “Isn’t the bathroom that way?”
“Yeah it is, fresh air can help.” Phil told him.
~~~
Sav dodged the reporters on his way out, not saying anything to them. Once outside he realized that they were following him and he darted in a quick blur to the alley beside the hotel. Taking a deep breath to calm his churning stomach, he leaned against the wall. He felt the same sensation from a few days ago and looked down the dark alley to see Nick approaching him.
“You look very pale.” Nick commented.
“So I was told. The guys are eating, and the smells from their food was to much and I had to get out of there before I tossed my stomach.”
Nick chuckled at his dilemma. He noticed the slight gold flaking in his eyes, pulling out a small flask from his inside coat pocket, he handed it Sav. “Drink this, it will help.”
Tipping it up Sav took a long pull from it and handed it back.
“Better?”
“Yeah thanks.” Sav replied. “What are you doing here?”
“Just checking to see how you’re doing.”
“I’m doing fine, under the circumstances.”
“Yes you are. How are they dealing with the story you gave them?”
“Fine I guess, but it’ll only be a matter of time before one of them suspects something is wrong.”
“Just try to act as normal as possible.” Nick told him. “You want to take a walk?”
“To where?” Sav asked.
“Just around. You can ask me any questions you have on your mind.”
“Um…yeah sure.” Sav looked around the side of the building to see the reporters still there waiting for him. “My first question would have to be. Can you do anything about those reporters?”
“I’ll see what I can do,” Nick said. “Lets go this way.” Indicating down the alley. They walked in silence for a while. “How is Lacey treating you?” He asked out of the blues.
“Oh she’s great, very understanding and patient.”
“It takes a lot of patients to teach a child the ways of the vampire.”
“What do you mean, child?” Sav frowned at his use of words.
“You are her son, just as she is my daughter.” Nick explained to him.
Sav stopped walking to focus on Nick's face. “Her son, I don’t understand.”
“When you bring someone across, that person becomes your son or daughter, since we are incapable of having children the mortal way. We choose someone and bring them across, there for they become our child.”
Sav looked dumb struck. “She didn’t tell me I couldn’t have children now.”
“She should have and she was wrong in not doing so. I take it you wanted children?”
“Yes, in the future maybe, but now that chance is gone forever.”
“Don’t even attempt what you're thinking.” Nick said quickly.
“And what am I thinking?”
“The Code forbids us to bring children across.”
“Why?”
“They don’t understand what’s happened to them. Their minds mature but the rest stays the same. I only know of a few incidents where that has happened, they had to be destroyed.”
“Well, that was cruel.”
“No, not really, considering the death and destruction they caused. Killing sprees and not caring who found the bodies of the dead, putting the community at risk of being discovered. Children must never be taken as a means to quench your thirst, even in the most desperate of hours.”
Even the thought of taking a child's life, made Sav's stomach churn again. “Have you….ever taken the life of…?”
“Not in all my eight hundred years.” Nick told him.
Sav looked at him in astonishment. “Your eight hundred years old?”
“Maybe a little more, but I have taken the life of many, but never a child.”
“Well, I won’t have to worry about that, I’ll never kill any one.” Sav remarked.
Nick chuckled at his reply. “All of use must kill at some point or another.”
“I don’t think I can do that.” Sav replied.
“We’re predators, always on the hunt for food. The thrill of the hunt is what draws us to kill, gives the blood a whole new taste and to savory the reward at the end.”
“You sound as though you enjoy it?”
“I do, but it’s been many years since I have, its not that easy anymore. Mortals have become too sophisticated in technology these days.”
“No thanks, I’ll stick to the bottled stuff.”
“There will come a day when the desire to take fresh human blood, will be to hard to resist. The ones closest to you will be in danger of becoming your next meal.”
“You're kidding right?”
“I’m very serious. You should deal with that now. Instead of regretting your actions later, ones will you be powerless to change.”
“The ones I’m closest to right now are the guys in the band.” Sav couldn't hide the uncertain fear in his voice and shifted nervously on his feet.
“Exactly. I understand you all have a long history together?”
“Yeah we do, but I would never do what your thinking, I couldn’t.”
“Never underestimate the draw of warm blood just inches from you, because the man in you will lose and the vampire will win in the end.” Nick gently informed him.
Sav looked at him in shock. He couldn’t believe that he might actually hurt someone in the band because of what he is. The thought of it was appalling. No he couldn’t do that, no matter how bad it got, he wouldn’t.
“The lure of vampire blood is just as strong.” Nick whispered, close to his ear.
“What?” Sav asked absently, he hadn’t been paying attention to Nick and stepped back to look at him.
“Vampire blood is just as luring as human blood.” Nick repeated.
“Well, I wouldn’t know about that. I’ve only meet two.”
“Lacey is very desirable. I haven’t tasted her since I brought her across.”
“Yeah, I enjoy her very much, but not just that part.” Sav told him with a crooked grin.
“Tell me, what does she tell you about your own unique taste?”
Suddenly feeling uncomfortable around him, Sav started walking again. “My blood….oh I don’t know….spicy maybe, she never really said anything about it.”
“No, it’s far from spicy.” Nick voice had taken on a deeper tone.
Sav recognized the tone in his voice, the same one he used with Lacey when they share blood. He stopped in his tracks and stared at Nick. “Well…um…you’ll have to ask her that because I wouldn’t know.”
“I don’t have to, I already know it will taste of the finest blood I have had in long time.” Nick slowly reached up and ran his finger down Sav's throat.
‘Ok this is going beyond talking’ Sav thought to himself, and quickly stepped back out of his reach. He didn't like how quickly Nick changed from being a cop following up on his case, to the one that stood before him now.   He could see the desire to taste him, in his eyes, felt it in the air around them. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked around. Several people strolled the streets around them and he had no idea where he was, Nick had an advantage over him. Sav saw a yellow cab coming down the street.
“Well, it’s getting late and I should get back before Lacey begins to worry.” Sav told him as he went to the edge of the sidewalk and stopped the cab.
“We’ll have to get together again. Maybe I can answer a few more of your question.” Nick suggested as he watched him start to get in the cab.
Sav had one foot inside and he turned to Nick. “I’m leaving in a couple of days, going back on the road to finish the tour.”
“No matter, our paths will cross again in the future.” Nick replied as matter of fact.
“Yeah, I’m sure they will.” Sav commented as he got in the cab. “Thanks Nick for clearing a few things up for me.”
“Anytime,” Nick reached into his pocket and pulled out a white card. “Here take my card, if you need anything call me at this number, doesn’t matter what time of day or night.”
Sav took the card from him and glanced at it. On the front was his number at the police station and on the back he had scribbled his home number. “Thanks, I will.” He closed the door, then gave the driver the address to his hotel. Glancing out the window he waved bye to Nick.
Nick watched as the cab drove away. “We will meet again...very soon.” He mumbled to himself. He walked back into the alley and looked around; seeing that no one was around, he leaped into the air and headed for his loft to sleep the day away.
~~
Sav watched the buildings go by in a blur, what Nick had told him about the lust for human blood worried him. He had no idea what to expect when it happened and who would be close by at the time. Maybe it would never affect him like that. Sav chuckled to himself, who was he kidding, it would one day and he hoped Lacey would be there when it happened. Then there was the comment he made about how his blood would taste, his implication were plain as if he had written them on a piece of paper. Now he knew what Lacey meant about no preference between a man or a woman.
The driver was tapping on the glass to get his attention. When Sav looked up the driver indicated that they were sitting in front of his hotel. Pulling out his wallet, Sav paid him and got out. At least the reporters hadn’t found where he was staying with Lacey yet. He bounded into the hotel lobby just as the sun was gracing the morning sky.
