Two vampires introduce you to their world

Leo had only taken a few gulps of my blood when he became aware of the Conflict.
Vampire cells, and especially blood cell, are interesting little critters. They can change other cells to be just like them. That’s how turning works. It’s some sort of DNA conversion that we are only now beginning to understand.
Mix some [...]

The car bumped along, making my shoulder itch like hell. The skinny Vampire was driving and Blade Clone was keeping us covered with a gun rather than his friggin’ sword which was stuck through my shoulder.
I wanted to scratch it soooooo bad, but I couldn’t or I’d give away the fact that I was a [...]

After his histrionic explanation of the murder weapon, Alistair showed Lilly’s fake Homeland Security ID to Liu and Alvarez.
“She was one of us,” he said.  It seemed to mean something to them.  I guess there’s a comradery between members of law enforcement that we civilians aren’t part of.  I’ve seen stuff like that on TV, but I [...]

I’d never seen Al look as tense as he did when he stepped into Geo’s pit.   I thought about stopping him or asking him what was up, but before I could open my mouth he’d shut the door behind him.
Oh, well.   I headed off to one of the reading rooms.  I might as well [...]

I’d gotten the call from Alistair at about eleven pm, asking if he could stay with me and if I could pick him up from the airport and then, at midnight (what timing), I got a call from Seneca.   You probably don’t know much about Seneca, but he’s THE big cheese in Thoth Vampire circles.
He [...]

“Ladies and Gentlemen,” blared the PA, ripping me out of my reverie, “The captain has turned on the … ”  etc., etc.,
The plane was approaching Los Angeles International Airport and my remembrances of Lilly would have to wait for another time.
I fastened my seat belt like a good little boy and watched a nervous passenger biting his [...]

The glory of death?  Allistair lived in some dramatic times. Fortunately, I’ve never been of the opinion that it was neat or cool to die.  I’m pretty much anti anything that has to do with dying.  Like, why go to war?  That’s just so dramatic, not to mention childish. As a friend of mine would [...]

Okay Alistair, I’m butting in.
First of all, I’d like to thank you for finally acknowledging that we are related in your last post. Jeez. I guess it takes kicking some butt to do that.
I’m going to tell a little bit of my side of the story.
When you and Francesca left the house, I searched for [...]

Because the Kuks stole my shield, I guessed they would be interested in a matching accessory such as a rare sword from the same time period: late 14th century.
So Francesca and I had a conversation about the loss of my shield and how glad I was that they hadn’t stolen the matching sword.  The traitorous [...]

A spy is a double-edged sword.  He wheedles his way into your good graces and cuts you by feeding your enemy with your most precious secrets.  But once he is discovered then he can be fed information to cut his masters with the other side of the blade.
So what has that got to do with [...]
