Chapter 17
It was a chilly Tuesday morning. The weather was still cold outside. The grass on lawns was covered in a wet layer of whitish dew. The sun was slowly emerging from the horizon shining its magnificent bright rays across the earth. Slowly, the dew melted away upon touch by the rich warm rays lawn by lawn as the sun got higher up the sky. The city was crawling back to livelihood ushering in the new day.
Claire and her tenants, Adams and Jane were also in the lively mood. They all were in the morning rush to get ready to head out to their respective destinations. As soon as they were all fully prepared, it was time for breakfast. Being an early riser, Claire had made sure that everything was ready before they came to the dining table. She served them breakfast and they delved in. As they took a toll on the delicious meal, table manners flew off the windows as they began to conversate.
“How is everything going on at school?” Claire started with Jane.

It had just stopped raining outside. The dusky heavy clouds were clearing from the murky sky. The moon could be seen slightly. Very little light came through the tight spaces between the clouds though. The streetlights and the vehicle headlights gave the night a delightful radiance. The night seemed promising and full of life. Adams, a mythology professor at Kibich University was home. He was busy doing some research for his next class the following morning. On his desk was a half-full glass of wine, several ancient history books and a powered-on laptop. The T.V. was on but without volume. The stereo played some soft cool classical music famously known to enhance creativity and high concentration. Lit was a medium desk lamp that illuminated his workspace and two huge candles at the middle of the dinner table. Several small wall lamps were also lit around the stylish modern living room.

Claire arrived at the precinct. She hastily got inside and headed for the captain’s office. As she walked past, the officer’s look on their faces confirmed her earlier fears. By then, she knew something was terribly wrong. All she had left was the answer to the question of what. She got to Michael’s office and inside she went. The captain had put on the same look as that on the officers’ faces. She did not give the captain more time to put himself together to start the conversation and the reason for the call. She looked worried, “Captain, I have had my share of trouble thinking about your call and enough time to put myself together for anything. So, please…get it over with and tell me what the hell is wrong and why everyone is looking at me as if I am a walking dead,” she demanded as she sat down. Michael sat upright, took a deep breath and looked her straight to the eye, “You may not be dead but I’m afraid someone is…someone you care about deeply. I am so sorry. I

Thomas was home at the lair. In his left hand was a glass of fresh blood. In the other hand, he held the T.V. remote. He was busy scanning from one channel to another. He seemed like one searching for something specific or, nothing at all. After several scans, he tossed the remote onto the couch across his position adjusting his sitting posture to a more comfortable one. At that moment, Catherine was returning to the lair. Thomas stood from the couch and walked to the dining area. On the table was a number of blood bags. He quickly poured some in another glass and handed it to Catherine. As he passed her the glass of blood, “honestly, I don’t get what these humans spend so much time watching. I have never found anything worth my time.
