0220: The Vampire's Daughter, Book Three
"Quickly, however, things started to unravel," Sol said, pausing briefly. "Thomas was having trouble gaining control of the city, Elizabeth and he had a falling out, and John Paul was reawakened."
"John Paul? Your John Paul?" Jamie asked.
"Yes."
"Oh my," Jamie said, getting up and sitting on a couch across from Sol.
"Yes. I went to see him and he told me some... unusual things."
"Like what? Are we all going to die?" Jamie laughed.
"No. He said that I am to usher in the redeemer who will, in turn, bring upon us the end of times."
"And you believed him?"
"No, not at first. But then things spiraled. I... I think I saw Susan, Sabastian's little girl, talking to Judas Isacariot."
"Excuse me?" Jamie said.
"You heard me correctly. Out of fear I ran to John Paul for help. He gave me this list of names and a letter to give the first I find from the list. Then his own child, Paul, killed him with the blessing of the Zionist leadership.
"JP told me to run, so I did. The last thing I heard was Paul calling a blood hunt, with me as the target."
"So you came here?" Jamie asked.
"Yes, I knew you would take me in and I knew I would be safe," Sol answered.
"Is that all you know?"
"Yes, is there more?"
"Paul has gone missing and it is assumed that you killed him."
"Although, after what he's done, I'm quite glad to hear he might be dead, I am not the one who killed him," Sol said.
"Regardless, it has been assumed that you did. I don't know if you were aware of his influence, but he has, or had, many highly placed friends in other clans. In short, the blood hunt has spread. You are a wanted man, and not just by me," Jamie said with a smile.
"This is not good," Sol said, leaning forward and putting his head in his hands.
"Will your friend Sabastian help you?"
"I don't know. I'll call my lawyers and have them go to the house... The messenger, where is he?"
"Oh," Jamie said, "I was hoping you had forgotten about the boy."
"I'm sure. Bring me to him."
"I told you I would let him go," Jamie protested.
"Bring me to him."
"Fine."
