The club is ceased and police start its investigation on the matter. The partial eaten body of the bouncer found lifeless in a restroom of the club. The FBI is called for further investigation.
Laura Maxwell, a prodigy and youngest detective approaches to the crime scene.
“This is a case of an animal attack, a dangerous animal did this.” A police officer explains.
“What if I say that this is a demon’s work?” Laura states.
“Sorry! I did not get you. The hunters have already hunted down the demons in this city. How could be this possible?” the police officer asks.
“Do you travel, officer?” Laura asks.
“yes, often.”
“A demon can travel too. Your city is too small in the entire world and we don’t have any idea how many of the demons are present in the world.” Laura explains.
“Oh, my god! You may be right but we need to prove it first, we can’t jump on conclusions.” The officer states.
“Therefore, I am here; I am PD Laura Maxwell from San Francisco. I have handled such cases before and I am sure, a demon is behind all of this.”
“I am wondering, if few of them have survived and hide somewhere, they will never want to die again.” Police officer seems confusion.
“hunger! Like humans, demons and ghouls can feel hunger. They too want to get feed. The question is here, was it a demon or a ghoul?” Laura thinks deeply. “Thank you, officer for your service, I will take up this from here.”
The police officers nods head and shake his hands with Laura and left from the place. Laura investigates the restroom carefully to find any clue. She takes out her phone and dials a number.
“hello, please send the forensic team here, I want some samples to be examined.” She said and disconnects the call.
Soon a forensic team arrives and Laura gave them samples of the blood and fluids to be examined. The body is already send to the forensic laboratory for further examinations. An assistant approaches Laura with a file in her hand.
“Miss Maxwell, I think you need to see this.” The assistant hands the file and leave.
Laura reads the file carefully. It is a report about the missing people in the city, “that’s strange; over 30 people are missing since last six months. I need to something about this.”
Laura put the file in her bag and leaves from the crime site.
Ashton sleeping on his bed wakes up by the knocking on the door. He gets up and opens the door. He widens his eyes but narrow then at another second to see Xander standing in the doorway.
“What do you want?” Ashton asks while yawning.
“Congratulations brother!!” Xander seems to be cheerful
“For what?” Ashton rolls his eyes.
“You are on the news, again.” Xander spits venom.
Ashton stands still for a while and shook his head. He runs to turn on T.V. and switches on a news channel.
Reporters announcing the headlines of the crime on every news channel he switches to.
“DAMN” Ashton curses.
Xander exhales loudly and approaches his brother, “what if they found out it were you, what will happen then? You will lose the trust from humans and your position in the company, and the tag of best weapon creator.”
Ashton clutches his fist and turns to Xander. He punches hard on his face, “Shut the f**k you and stop spilling the beans, you dickhead. No! Nothing like that will happen. I won’t let that happen ever.”
Xander falls on his back from the impact of the punch he received. He stares Ashton in disgust and controls his nerves. “Whatever!” Xander whispers and wipes blood from the corner of his mouth.
He left Ashton’s room in haste. Ashton dials a number from his phone but it left unanswered. Frustrated, he dials another number, “Damn, pick the call!”
Someone answers from the other side, “Hello, how can I help you!”
“Can I talk to Melvin, please?”
“I am sorry, sir; Master Melvin is busy at the moment. I can convey the message to him.” The female voice asks.
“No, thank you; just inform him about my call.”
“Thank you for calling, sir.”
Ashton disconnects the call and opens his wardrobe. He put on some clothes and left the house. Ashton starts the engine and drive away from his house. His thoughts are distracting and dangerous, which makes him impossible to drive carefully on the road.
The flashback of the time when he ate that man disturbs him to the core. He vowed to his dead lover that he will not to taste a drop of blood in his life again, but he ate the delicious and mouth watering flesh from the body of a stranger.
He closes his eyes in regret but as soon as he opens his eyes; he saw a woman standing in his driveway. He slams on his brakes and the car stops just in time.
The woman screams and breathes heavily. Ashton’s eyes widen to see the woman, Alsea.
“I wish I did not apply the brakes” Ashton whispers to himself. He gets out from the car and look at Alsea I disgust.
“What are you doing in front of my car?” Ashton yells at Alsea.
“What your car is doing on the pedestrian road?” Alsea shouts, “I guess you are drunk and driving. Do you know it is a crime? I wish your car gets towed and your license gets ban in whole America.”
“Whoa!! Look who is talking. First get yourself a good headline to speed up your career instead keeping your nose in my business.” Ashton screeches.
“Do you know that this is a public place and you have no right to shout on an unknown woman?” Alsea points finger at him
“oh! I know you, you are a bitch.” Ashton fakes smile.
“Ashton Grey, you are a chauvinist pig who can’t see a woman getting more successful than men.” Alsea states.
“What??” Ashton shouts
“What the f**k? Now leave my walkway, I have to go.”
“Who’s stopping you?”
“You”
“Me?”
“Yes, you”
Ashton exhales fumes, but he notices the crowd near them. He stays quiet and leave.
“You know what? Nothing..” Ashton stutters. He gets in his car and drive away.
Alsea keeps her eyes on the car till it disappears from her sight. “Run Grey! Run for your life. It already starts the countdown.” Alsea whispers to herself.
