Dimitri ran his hand through his hair. The last meeting with the European vampire royals had taken a serious toll on him. They and debated with one another till three in the morning, not to mention they arrived there two days prior. Kai, one of Dimitri's closest allies had clearly dominated the meeting although Alexander, a clear enemy adeptly rebutted every argument Kai made.
Dimitri sunk into the cushions of the car. He couldn't wait to get back to the hotel.
"How much longer?" he asked his driver.
"About two hours sir, you will probably want to take a nap."
Dimitri sunk further into the soft cushions of his luxury car and closed his eyes. He closed his eyes only to open them again in agitation.
He recalled the last topic that was discussed. What were the royals thinking when they had said they wanted to dispose of the werewolves? Had they any sense? If the royals couldn't recall, the Weres were the ones that got them out of the vampire hunting back in the middle ages. Without their influence in the human royal court, the killings would have continued, the oppression still there. The vampires had their liberation from the humans, well not full liberation, but at least the killings had stopped.
Dimitri shrugged. Vampires were extraordinarily difficult to take down; they could easily rampage their way through a group of thirty to forty humans. But not when nearly a hundred of them came rushing at one vampire.
He cringed. He remembered that day when he was caught in the midst of a large crowd pursuing a vampire. He was carrying a basket of bread back home to his mother when suddenly an enormous mob stormed past him. He was trampled on, kicked, beaten to near death.
Dimitri immediately pushed the thought out of his mind. If it weren't for Kai who had saved him, Dimitri wouldn't be who he was today.
Dimitri decided to check his email. It would still be two hours till he arrived in London.
As he browsed through his ensemble of emails, one in particular caught his eye. He read the subject and immediately knew who had sent it to him.
He smiled remembering that moment he spent with the woman. She was quite beautiful. He auburn hair that reached midway to her back, her beautiful body, and not to mention her exquisite facial features.
Dimitri felt himself tense at the memory. A small smile crept onto his face. Yes, he definitely couldn't wait to get back to the hotel.
After he finished reading the email, Dimitri decided to read others. He saw one from Kai. It was sent just seconds ago. Dimitri clicked on the email and waited. He felt his leg muscles tighten pushing down on the car and his heart start to beat faster. If it was sent over email, Dimitri could guess that Kai had something important to tell him but was unable to at the meeting.
Finally the page loaded! Dimitri's eyes scanned his phone's bright screen reading the email.
Dimitri,
I just received a report that five vampires have been killed in London, England. I know you're headed there right now so try to get there as soon as possible. I sent you the address to your GPS, tell David, since I believe he's the one driving you right now, to take you there. I'll be there as well. The procedure for cleaning up will be the usual, but we may have to pull in some of the SVI's to investigate further. Can you send them in? It seems that I don't have the power to command them like you do, I guess they lie with the Crime and Services Director. Get back to me as soon as possible.
Kai.
By the way, Ryu has returned to England. He says he has a lot to tell us.
Dimitri let out a sigh.
