Walking out of her office and over to a desk with one of the brothers, JYD asks "can you give the locations where the last three murders occurred?  I'd like to poke around a little?"

Ten minutes later, he's driving away from downtown and headed in the direction of the last killing.  As he drives, there are questions running through is mind "Why are all these vampires working in the police department together?  Is the serial killer a werewolf?  What bloodline could possibly be doing this killing?  Why is Detective Dubrinsky able to arouse me so easily?"

Heading out of town and running ideas through his mind, he doesn't see the lone motor cycle rider fall in behind his car and begin to follow in pursuit.

"dont look at md that way wrath  i know i need to feed" he laughed at her

"it has been harder on you the most as these girls are the future to your people. Now go home and feed." she nods and grabs her bag, walking out to the SUV and gets in

Pulling up to a parking lot at the location of the last murder, he backs his SUV into a parking spot and reviews the file.  With nothing out of the ordinary jumping out at him from the file, he puts it over on the passenger seat and scans the area.  Not seeing anyone, steps out of the car, and moves to the back of the SUV where he pulls out a dufflebag.  Locking the door, he begins to follow a trail into the woods and the location where Amy Johnson was killed.

Several minutes later, he sees a fallen tree and remnants of caution tape protecting and area on the other side.  Making his way around the trunk, he sees the faint tracings of where a body had been found along with darkish brown stains from dried blood. 

Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, he reaches inside his mind and embraces his affliction.  Unable to physically change during daylight hours, he is able to enhance his senses.  When his eyes open, they are no longer blue, but a combination of gold and brown.  He sniffs the air and can easily pickup the odors of dozens of people that have been to this location, most likely investigating the murder.  Making a mental note of each smell, he begins to circle the area, noting the changes in the aggregate combination of smells.  As the circles get larger and larger, the individual scents become more apparent.  Detective Dubrinsky has definitely been here and she had been drinking whiskey.  One of her brothers had been here also.  Then he smells the killer.  Much different than the other visitors, there is most definitely a wolf bloodline within this person.  On the same path, there is the smell of an expensive perfume...That must be Amy Johnson.

"Did they walk up together?  Was she forced to come up here?  Did she know her killer?" danced through his mind as he continued to investigate.

Savannah pulled up to her cabin in the mountains as she walks in and makes her way to the kitchen.

Pulling open the fridge door and grabs a bag of blood, sinking her fangs in and drinks hungrily down.

After she finished throwing it into the bin and goes to take a shower.

With no more information found, JYD considers his investigation complete and wants to see the body at the morgue.  As he walks down the trail, he sees someone standing beside his SUV, checking doors to see if they are open.  This person sees JYD coming out of the forest and runs to a motorcycle parked in front of the SUV.  Jumping on the bike, he races out of the parking lot.

Too far for him to make out the plates, JYD shakes his head.  " Assignment to a serial killer case, finding out your boss and "brothers" are vampires, and now a thief is trying to steal your car", thinks JYD as he jogs down the path and proceeds to walk around the SUV, looking for any damage or tampering.  Satisfied, he get's into the vehicle and drives toward the coroner's office, hoping to get there before they close for the day.

Putting on her robe and walks over to the laptop. Switching it on seeing an email from an unknown address. 


"we know what you are bitch and soon you will join those whores. Until then expect another to die" savannah screamed as she saw the area

Pulling up to the coroner's office, JYD walks in an presents his ID.  The secretary takes him through two large double doors into the back room where the coroner is working.  A body of an old man with severe trauma to the head lies on the stainless steel table.  JYD walks up and sniffs the air and smells gasoline.  The coroner looks up and sees JYD and says "Car crash victim.  Trying to verify if he died instantly or not for insurance purposes"

JYD responds "Doc, his head is crushed in.  Do you really think there is a chance it was instant?"

The coroner responds "I've got to check all the boxes.  What can I do for your anyways Detective?"

"Here to see Amy Johnson.  Is she still on ice?" replied as JYD visually scanned the room.

Putting down his probes and pulling off the plastic gloves, he turned to a dozen rectangular doors on a wall behind him.  Reaching up, he grabbed one of the latches, pulling out a sliding stainless drawer that had a body covered with a sheet.  Pulling back the sheet exposed what was once a beautiful blond girl that according to her chart, had just turned 18 years of age.  She was completely naked, but her body had been ravaged by something.  There were claw marks running down her chest both horizontally and vertically, as if someone was trying to play a torturous game of tick-tac-toe.  There was considerable bruising around her throat.  Looking up from the body, JYD asked "Did you guys run forensic's on the body fluids?"

The coroner gave a partial laugh and said "Yeah, yeah, someone's playing a joke.  I didn't even report it, but the same came back as canine semen and there was no trace of human semen.  Someone must have tried to make this look like a rape.  Definitely sexual assault, but not rape since the liquid was obviously planted.  What sick fuck would do something like that?"

JYD turned and walked away, saying over his shoulder "Thanks, I've seen enough" and walked out of the office to his waiting SUV.

Wrath tries to calm her down as she camd back to the office by holding her close "we will find the bastard who is doing this. I promise you hun" 

She shook her head " i cant do this any fucking more wrath"

Walking into the office and seeing Detective Dubrinsky being held by Wrath, JYD felt a wave of jealousy before he shook his head and though "She's gonna try and rip out your throat and you want to sleep with her dumbass?"

Clearing his throat, he says "Ahhh....Should I come back later once you two love birds are finished?"

Wrath growled at him "we are not an item you fucker. Savannah had an email from the killers" he threw the file at him before taking her to sit down at the desk.

With a smirk on his face, JYD stooped down and began picking up the file that Wrath had thrown.  Watching the detective being escorted over to her desk continued to puzzle JYD as he thought "There's some type of emotional attached between the detective and these girls, otherwise she wouldn't be so shaken."  

As he flipped through the files, he noticed that the other girls had a very similar look and were about the same age.  Cross checking the birthdates, he said "Detective, you need to look at this". Walking over, he laid out a data sheet for each one of the victims.  Pointing a the same spot on each sheet, an excited JYD said "Look....All three are 18 years of age and look at the sequence.  The first one was killed exactly 7 days after her birthday.  The second was killed two weeks and the third...ahh...yep.  Three weeks after her birthday.  The fucking killer is sequencing!"

Continuing, "That means the fourth will be killed four weeks after her 18th birthday.  But we don't know what day that would be or who knows how many girls in this town are turning 18."  Looking at the Detective, JYD said "What's your experience tell you boss?"

Savannah frowned and looked at the pictures, seeing the similar pattern on when each of the girls are murdered. "but what the hell as it got to do with me my birthday aint for three months yet."

She clutched the desk and looked closer at the pictures as she saw them come to life, but only her saw them.

JYD, shaking his head, says "No, no, no, your email message said ANOTHER would be killed."  He's got a timer going before he kills you.

Then JYD's eyes go wide.  "What is the date of your birthday?  If we follow the sequence, we can can back into what day the next murder is going to occur!"

She shook her head as Wrath watched her closely. He touched her shoulder gently "its 30th november, and it be her 500th birthday" savannah growled a warning at him.

JYD stops in his tracks and stares at Detective Dubrinsky.  Not sure if he needs to fight of flight, he just stands there with his mouth part way open.  He has no chance against any of these vampires during the daylight hours and if she's that old, she was a pureblood and even with full moonlight powering his affliction, he doubted that he would stand a chance.

Wrath laughed followed by Savannah"close your mouth JYD, bet you never met an ancient one"

She got up and walked over to the bottle of whiskey and poured three glasses. Picking up two and walked to them both

Taking the glass of whiskey, but just holding it, he weighs his options.  She would kill me if she knows about my affliction.  And if she is truly and ancient one, then this is bad, very bad."

Going against his better judgement and not taking his eyes off the seductive detective, he said "I found some evidence.  I don't know who the killer is, but I know what it is".  Taking a sip of the whiskey to steal his nerves, JDY says "Amy Johnson was killed by a werewolf.  I know it sounds crazy, but...taking another sip...based on what you just told me, crazy is the new normal".

"we had our hunches on the werewolf or a pack. So its not crazy, and please dont tell anyone of what i gm" she explained as she took her drink to the couch and sits down. Trying to read his mind and found out she couldnt as she ran her tongue over her lips slightly"and the rape what did you find out"

Taking another sip of the whiskey and feeling the burn in his throat, he replied "It happened during daylight hours.  Amy and the killer went to the woods together.  Unsure if she was forced or complied.  The killer was in his human form when he raped her and the coroner verified that the semen was tainted, or what he believes was a canine specimen."  

Then JYD's eyes went wide again as he remember the dates.  Running to the desk and grabbing a pencil, then turning to the calendar, he begins checking off the dates.  Then he starts over and says "FUCK.  I know when he's going to kill again.  And it's tomorrow.  Following the sequencing, he is going to kill another tomorrow, another 7 days after that....then the following sequence is.. finishing off his whiskey..November 30th...your birthday"

Her eyes glowed red as she looked at wrath "get the brothers out watching that site for any activitiy now"

He disappears and tells them "why is it in this order"
