Rogue Succubus

Possible lead

When I walk in the station the detectives are holding a file between them with a confused look on their faces. "What's going on?"

Alan "Just looking at the autopsy report, it shows evidence of a heart attack despite never having any kind of problem with his heart in the past."

Barry "Yeah, and it is exceedingly rare for a man of his age to have a heart attack without any previous heart problems."

Me "I met a guy last night that might have a bit of useful information."

Barry "You mean a guy you f****d so you could continue with this investigation, yeah I think I'll pass on that kind of information."

Me "Ok, so the fact that one of his friend's is the male version of my kind and might be able to tell me if he knows anyone who seems like they have no control over their abilities isn't news or enough to interest you. Ok, I'll just keep the information to myself …"

Alan "Wait, how would he know if his friend is one of you?"

Me "There are those of us that reveal what we are to people so that we can get their permission to feed off them when we don't have that much energy. This guy is one of them."

Barry "Ok, but if this guy was a one night stand, how are you going to get in touch with him to talk to his friend?" As if on cue my phone starts to ring.

Me "Speak of the devil," I step aside to talk into the phone, as I predicted it's the guy I met the night before.

Ray "I spoke to my friend and he told me he might have noticed someone that was over-feeding."

Me "I'll need to talk to him, in person"

Ray "Yeah, I'll see if I can get him to come to your hotel room later after work, we get off around 8."

Me "I'll be back there before then, be there for 8:30,"

Ray "We'll be there then," and he hung up. I walked back over the detectives.

Me "I'm meeting him and his friend at 8:30."

Barry "Ok, where did you meet this guy again?"

Me "At a bar, why? You suddenly turn into my dad without me knowing?"

Barry "No, I was just wondering why we should trust this guy and his friend, I mean you only met him cause you were hungry for something other than normal food."

Me "Because I may have sensed his friend last night at the same bar I was in and I've never had a human realise what I was when I was feeding until now. Cause the guy I met last night's friend occasionally feeds from him, so he was able to tell what I was doing."

Barry "Oh, great! We're taking your word that we can believe this." I could sense his distrust so instead of responding I shifted into the form similar to his ex-wife. "Don't bring her into this."

Me "I didn't bring her into this you did with your distrust of me because I can shift into a form similar to her and because of that you have a slight desire for me whilst not wanting to trust me, because of what she did." I shift back to my normal form before continuing, "Don't compare me to her just because I can take a form similar to her. I am not her!"

Alan "It's like she can read you like a book."

Me "We have any leads on where he was before he dropped dead last night?"

Alan "What?"

Me "The dead guy, who's autopsy you were reading …"

Alan "Oh. No, not yet."

Me "Good places to start would be bars, clubs, hotels, you know where you can meet people have a couple drinks or take someone for a one-night-stand."

Barry "You mean like you did last night,"

Me "I don't know any places here. I just went to the place that held the most desire last night, which can change night to night. And I didn't catch the name of the place." Maybe the guy I met last night would remember the name of the club. I'd ask him later. "And it's not exactly a one-night-stand if you keep in contact afterwards. By the way, you could trace his phone, see where he went."

Alan "We would but we don't know where it is."

Me "Why not check if there are any phones registered in his name? By the way, what is his name?"

Barry "Donald McKinley,"

Me "Oh my f*****g gosh, someone I know dated a guy with that name. I'm going to get her to send me a picture to see if it's the same guy." I take my phone out to message her to send me a picture, just as I'm about to unlock my phone someone puts their hand on my shoulder. I turn to see my one-night-stand. "What the f**k are you doing here?"
