0230: The Vampire's Daughter, Book Three

As the man at the window fell to his knees again, Jamie asked, "Do you think he's rushing or just has premature ejaculation issues?"

"I don't know and I really don't care. But he has completed his task, so can we go now?" Sol asked.

"I'd like to know if he tries for a third round, but I guess it's more important for you to figure out why you're going to destroy our kind, so we can go," Jamie retorted sarcastically.

"Thank you," responded Sol.

"You know I'm not looking forward to this," Jamie said, standing and walking to the door.

"I am aware, but I don't know who else to ask. If you have any other ideas, I'll gladly try them first," responded Sol.

"How about we go home, have dirty sex and wait for divine intervention?"

"As appealing as it sounds to avoid the issue, you know as well as I that the bloodhunt will find us eventually. This pursuit is, perhaps, the only thing that can stop the hunt," Sol said, opening the door for Jamie.

They walked down the hall to the stairs and, at the bottom, Jamie grabbed Sol's arm and said, "One minute."

"You're not!" Sol said, watching Jamie weave through the undulating crowd. He sat waiting for about five minutes when Jamie emerged from the throng with the couple.

"Sol, meet Bill and Mary," Jamie said.

"Hello," Sol said to the couple from the window, then, "We don't have time for this," to Jamie.

"Consider it a peace offering, honey."

"Do they even know what's going on?"

"No."

"Then turn them lose and let's go," Sol said.

"You are so not fun sometimes."

"Yes, well, when there's a bloodhunt out for me, I tend to find fewer reasons to play," Sol shot back. "Can we go?"

"Yes," Jamie said, leaning in and kissing Mary and then Bill. Jamie and Sol then left, leaving the pair standing confused.

As they walked out of the club, Sol stopped and looked around. "We are not alone," he said.

"I sense them too," Jamie said. "And if I can sense them, they are either young, stupid, or there are a lot of them. I hope it's one of the first two options."

"I'm afraid it’s the third," said Sol. "Run for the car." He and Jamie ran as fast as they could, jumped in the car and sped off.

Shortly after getting on a main road, Sol said, "They are following us." He looked at his watch, "And we only have four hours before dawn."
