I was still standing near the door when Janet and Elaina emerged from the VIP room. “Do you feel that?” Janet asked. “I could have sworn that there was someone here. Maybe it’s your ghost.” “No,” Elaina said. “I would be able to see her.” “Well, either way,” Janet said, not sounding so convinced. “I…
Across town, Robert’s boss, Janet Poksat alone at the bar of the nearly empty Red Velvet Lounge. A second vampire enters the lounge behind her. He doesn’t make it all the way to the bar. He turns and enters an empty VIP room. Elaina led me to the same lounge. I stood…
Back at the house, while I was leaving the Goth’s home, Elaina was minutes away from waking from her vampire slumber. …And Robert was just getting home from work.
